Black people had rights in which year?
In 1964 is when black people had rights. (Actually, black people gained their freedom and their status as Americans with the 13th and 14th amendment and black men gained the right to vote with the 15th amendment. Brown vs. The Board of Education declared separate but equal null and void, but prior to that African-Americans had the basic rights of the white man. But it was racism and prejudice that kept these people from exercising their rights freely.)
