Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the United States. These laws were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and denied African Americans access to public services, facilities, and accommodations, such as schools, hospitals, restaurants, and transportation.
