OverviewWhere were African Americans between the 1880s and the 1950s?Chiefly in the South, where they‣ emerged from Reconstruction in the 1870s with the protection of the Thirteenth,Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments‣ took their places as free and increasingly successful citizens in the 1880s‣ had to exercise their new citizenship rights among ex-Confederates and their sons anddaughters‣ continued to vote, serve on juries, be elected to public office, pursue education, andimprove their economic status.Some white leaders accepted the outcome of losing the Civil War and theenfranchisement of the Freed people. One white man in Virginia commented in 1885,“Nobody here objects to sitting in political conventions with Negroes. Nobody hereobjects to serving on juries with Negroes. No lawyer objects to practicing law incourt where Negro lawyers practice. In both branches of the Virginia legislature,Negroes sit, as they have a right to sit.”C.
