African-American after Reconstruction

How is racism today different than racism practiced immediately after Reconstruction?

Before racism was always in front of you and it not matter who was in there. The aldn't pay the tax frican American people couldn't vote before since the white people put a litercy test and make it harder for the color people, like making the question harder or making the test in another language.
Another one was the poll tax since the color people didn't have high payment like white people and it was a racism legal, even if a white person couldn't pay the tax or the test they let him vote if one of his             ancestors have vote.  http://goo.gl/qnelr
They took out the pool tax law but later on they make "separate but equal" that make color people and white people would be treaded equal, but it wasn't true the color people still was treaded  bad but it was more hide every time.

Education has Change. A Little or A Lot?

Back in the day, the education wasn't good as it is right now
Not everybody had the opportunity to go and had education
The teachers weren't as they were know
The students were hitten all because of there answers or actions
But sometimes they didn't know how
Some student leave the school, but other had determination

Now almost everybody has an opportunity to go to the school
And we hab better knowledge
So is not like you don't have the tools

Coming to the United States 1870's

1 In the past it was hard to get to the United States if you where a immigrant. If you came from Europe it took a weak to get to the there, and you where from Asia it took three week.
   I wouldn't like that, because of all the persons that are shoulder to shoulder that it was very tide that you could move a little from you where.

2 A immigrant going to the United States because of all the request you need to enter, you needed to pass a medic exam and prof that you had 25$ with you, that is was a lot now. Even every time you go somewhere you had to pass the same process all over again.
