Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crow laws were first called the Black Codes. In the southern states African Americans were not allowed to vote or join the legislature. They had to stay separate--in transportation, restaurants, schools, theatres and like this picture shows- bathrooms too. By the 1890's the term Jim Crow Laws meant the separation of African Americans and European Americans and the general customs that discriminate against African Americans as inferior.
