Mid Century

Can you help me a bit with my paper on the hardships of blacks during the mid 19th-mid 20th century?
I'm writing a paper for school on the hardships of blacks during the mid 19th-mid 20th century.
I need to make it 250 words minimum, so I decided to have 5 paragraphs:
1st Paragraph: Opening
2nd Paragraph: ?????????
3rd Paragraph: Segregation (in schools, bathrooms, public transportation, etc.)
4th Paragraph: About groups, such as Ku Klux Klan, that terrorized blacks
5th Paragraph: Closing
I like the order of that, but I'm not sure what should be the topic for my second paragraph. I would rather not right about how whites treated blacks poorly because that clashes to closely to the groups that didn't like them (4th Paragraph), so what should be the topic for the 2nd paragraph on the hardships of blacks at that time? Something I don't know about? Thank you very much
P.S. Also the laws for blacks were too much on segregation, which I write about in the 3rd paragraph, so I'd rather not make a seperate paragraph for that either.
These links should help you sort out your paragraphs.
