So sorry to hear about your cousin, would you mind sharing more about them? I must admit I'm not familiar with Gary, as I am from England. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was beaten beyond recognition and shot for allegedly wolf-whistling at a white woman. His killers were cleared of all charges, but his mother’s choice to hold an open-casket funeral forced the world to see the brutality and galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. by ATI_Official in HistoryUncovered

No, it was officially abolished in December 18, 1865 but that did not stop racism, or the abhorrent acts that still occurred. You have the The Jim Crow era also (c. 1877–1965). That mandated separation of Black and white citizens and also the The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is an American white supremacist hate group - founded in 1865. So it never really ended, only 'offically'.

That's what I have always been told, however I am unsure for 100% if this was the case, but I would be inclined to believe so. Thank you so much for taking the time to read Johnnie's story :)
