Answer preview
African Americans faced several challenges during the Jim Crow era in terms of better wages, promotions, and employment. The trade unions of the Jim Crow era propagated the segregation of workers whereby blacks and whites belonged to different unions that were branches of a large union. The struggles of Ivory Davis illustrate the challenges blacks with the NAACP overcame to ensure the desegregation of the workplace and unions in the country. According to Botson (1998), Hughes Tool and Independent Metal Workers (IMW) union had provided an enabling environment for racism to thrive in the workplace, and Davis decided to challenge the racist policies that were vital in dismantling segregation in the company. The racism at Hughes Tool was such that blacks performed low-paying that were shunned by the whites, and they also earned less. Whites, on the other hand, held high paying jobs and IMW has created two unions, one for blacks and another for whites.
