 The daughters of the maids where raise to be a maid, but the problem was that they work for 95¢ an hour so the African-American can't progress with the economic. The white community use a lot "separate but equal" which means that the color community had a lot of problems with it, they couldn't sit at the front only at the back of the bus, they had to use a different bathroom because the whites thought that they could have different disease and to make them worse was that they count the toilet paper square to make sure that they don't use a lot. Sometimes they could even blame the black community of something that they didn't even do like stole silver from them and sometimes they do it only because they wanted revenge, but the black community couldn't get revenge easy, they had to be creative in a way that nobody knew.

"The Help" helped the black community by letting everybody know about there story and make other  people think about it and start to change and think more about the black community because before they didn't saw them as humans.
