Black History of Wisconsin, Part 3: Movement SHARE This is part three of a four-part series exploring the history and struggles Black Wisconsinites have endured. Read   here. MILWAUKEE Like in the rest of the U.S., the 20th century in Wisconsin was a time of major change and major growing pains. More Black residents than ever before would move into the Badger State during this era. But when they arrived, they’d find a place that still systematically denied them equal rights and opportunities. Over the course of the century, Black Wisconsinites would have to fight tooth and nail to earn the same rights that their neighbors were given freely. Here, we take a look at the persistent issues of segregation and prejudice that faced Black residents at this time and the Civil Rights Movement that helped bring about hard-earned progress.
