City of Quartz summary

There are three reasons listed as to the why the disenfranchisment of African Americans occurred. Summarize each reason in two sentences per reason.

Reason 1 - Diverse racial composition:
- Basically, the African Americans were soon segragated from talkinng/hanging out with whites.
- African Americans were isolated due to all these laws which made the Bloods and Crips create their gang to go against whites.

Reason 2 - Dynamic economic growth:
-There were many jobs that were opening in the 1950's in Chicago, Detriot, which whites wanted.
-African Americans also wanted these jobs so they fought for rights to try and achive their goal to getting jobs to support themselves and their loved ones.

Reason 3 - Dispersive spatial arrangement:
- African Americans wer left out of sight due to this segragation between blacks and whites.
- In world war II, the African Americans forced the recognization of the segragation to whites to make it as a consequence.
