Where did assimilation get black people? Segregation in the south, housing discrimination, district redlining in the north. It wasn't until black people began to identify as black first, American second, that they got federal laws passed making racial discrimination illegal nationwide.
Federal civil rights acts of 1866, 1870, and 1875 as well as the 14th Amendment in 1868.
