JIM CROW LAWS *PowerPoint Adapted from the Library of Congress Collection What was life like for African Americans under Jim Crow laws? PowerPoint Resource 12C

WHAT WERE JIM CROW LAWS? Jim Crow laws came about as southern states tried to keep African Americans and white people separate and to limit the rights of African Americans. Segregation (separation of African Americans and white people) denied African Americans:  equal rights in politics by denying them the right to vote.  education.  economic opportunities through job discrimination.

African Americans found “Jim Crow” to stand for the many kinds of discrimination they faced in America:  Discrimination in housing and jobs was encouraged by practice, public pressure, and often violence.  African Americans often had to endure offensive and insulting names, like “colored,” from white people. Jim Crow laws established norms for separate schools, restaurants, and even separate water fountains for black people and white people.

From Delaware to California, and from North Dakota to Texas, many states (and cities, too) imposed legal punishments on people for mingling with members of another race. It wasn't until about 50 years ago that Jim Crow laws were removed.
