if you consider cold blooded hanging, not being able to attend your school of choice, not being allowed to enter into certain buildings through the front door, being burned out of your home or church, not receiving proper medical attention when needed, being passed up on jobs not because you were not qualified but because you were black , then yes.
Sadly, not well. In many, many areas, they were still not allowed in 'white' restaurants, not allowed to drink from 'white' water fountains, not allowed to use 'white' public restrooms, and many still had to ride in the back of the bus when using the public transportation system, even though they paid for their bus ride, just as white people did. Many public schools did not even integrate until the 1970's.
There was considerable progress in the search for improved civil rights during the 1950s and 1960s. In education, landmark cases such and the Brown v. Board of education of Topeka, Little Rock High School and James Meredith did remove segregation but there was often unwillingness on the part of many states to embrace the changes. There was progress in desegregating transport after the Montgomery bus boycott and the freedom rides. However no new laws were introduced to outlaw racial discrimination until the mid-1960s and many politicians and ordinary US citizens remained opposed to radical change.
During the 1960s Martin Luther King put the issue of civil rights are the forefront of US domestic politics and the demonstrations of 1963 meant that resisting change could no longer be justified. After 1963, there were several pieces of legislation which aimed to ensure equality for black Americans.
They were treated as second -class citizens and were not treated right by americans.

black people were treated extremely badly used them as servants. They were harassed by white people daily were not allowed to have their rights on voting!
Mainly they had a lot of problems with segregation and cruelty in the southern US and the assassinations of two major black leaders, Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King.
That depends where you were . In USa they were segregated and treated shamefully.
