What were the Jim Crow Laws?
What is "Jim Crow laws were in effect for an astounding 100 years, and made racial segregation (the separation of people based on race) legal. During this time, places like theaters, restaurants, waiting rooms, building entrances, and even cemeteries were segregated. Some businesses kept “Whites Only” signs posted outside. Black families couldn’t live in white neighborhoods, and Black kids couldn’t attend white schools. Communities and members of the civil rights movement worked hard to fight these laws, which eventually led to advancements like the integration of the military in 1948, integration of schools in 1954, the 1964 Civil Rights Act to end segregation, and the Voting Rights Act to protect minorities’ right to vote.
