From the 1880s to the 1960s, states and cities throughout the nation practiced segregation. They required separate spaces for white and black Americans. Black Americans could not sit in the same places, drink from the same water fountains, or use the same facilities as white Americans. These laws, known as separate-but-equal laws, were anything but equal. The black Americans were treated unfairly and discriminated against in most settings. The laws were also called Jim Crow laws after a character in a minstrel show. The civil rights movement worked in opposition to these unfair laws, seeking to gain equality for African Americans.
