African American Women during the Industrialization is not talked about as much as it should be when it comes to the role that they play in the history. Along with the European women who had jobs in the factories african american women also being immigrants could get the same job opportunities as the European woman could. This is why african american women were in a way forced to be able to get only certain jobs that had dealt with house work or slave work, since they didn't have a choice when it came to supporting their families and getting what little money they needed. Almost all of the women had families and needed the money to support their kids and even husband if he wasn't working at the time either. During this time period of the 1880's most of the african americans worked jobs that no one really wanted and got very little to no pay for them since they were black and around this time as well segregation was still something that was going on and was still a problem that african americans had to deal with. But since normal white women didn't get paid as much as a man did same goes for african american women who wanted to work to get that extra money for their families. Even though they thought it wasn't fair it was the law and nothing could have changed the fact that african american women would also get paid the least amount of money all the time during this time. Even though as well women in factoires were doing walkouts when it comes to the work that african americans were doing they had to choice but to stay where they were because if they didn't they would lose almost everything that they had and they needed all of it in order to support for those who they love and themselves to live long and strong lives in the future.
