Our modern interpretation of the 14th Amendment.<br />How colored people became the same as other citizens.<br />This video demonstrates one way how blacks were mistreated/had no rights, even by the police, prior to the 14th amendment. This amendment was supposed to change all that (though it has taken awhile for the racism to decrease in our country).<br /><br />Comment: It is kind of sad that even the enforcement back then mistreated blacks, but it is really nice that now that we have the 14th amendment at least all races are supported by law.<br />The 14th Amendment was ratified on July 28, 1868.<br />More information about the 14th amendment: <a href="http://www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/recon/jb_recon_revised_1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/recon/jb_recon_revised_1.html</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OKqBhj7uB4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OKqBhj7uB4</a>
