After the Civil War, Black Americans in Texas faced several obstacles that prevented them from achieving true equality. One significant action was the implementation of literacy tests and poll taxes, which aimed to reduce their right to vote and disenfranchise many Black citizens. Additionally, discriminatory practices in public education limited access to quality schooling for Black children, leaving them with fewer opportunities for success. Despite the abolition of slavery, sharecropping and other forms of economic exploitation continued to bind Black Americans to cycles of poverty, undermining their freedom. In my opinion, the voting restrictions were the most unfair obstacle, as the right to vote is fundamental to having a voice in one's government and community.
