Based on what I’ve been told by those that lived it and what I’ve seen, yep, the 50s was it.

I’d expand it out to include 1945 to1965. That 20 year period was the pinnacle of the pinnacle.

And then the fall began. Just look at 1967, the decline was in full swing.

There was a reprieve, a plateauing, during the 1980s, but it’s been just getting worse and worse since then.

No. The 1940s to 1960s were not a good time for black people.

America became great when the Civil Rights Act was in place. Black people are Americans too and they needed the right to be part of American society.

It is the far-left-wing mentality that is holding black people back in America.
