African Americans were facing various socioeconomic challenges which were evident of widespread institutional racism, such as

1. Laws of Segregation - which meant, whites and blacks could not mix in certain public areas.

2. Poor educational standards -  Many African Americans could not enroll into some of the countries best colleges which hampered social mobility.

3. Unemployment/Low paying jobs - Many white Americans would not hire African Americans or only hire them for low paying jobs.

These islands/chinampas then provided rich soil for crops with easy access to water. i hope this is correct, im so sorry if its not !
