Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jim Crow laws imposed a system of state-supported segregation in the South, which enforced racial segregation in public places such as schools, parks, and transportation. These laws also denied African Americans basic civil rights, such as voting and access to equal opportunities for education and employment. They were in effect for several decades until the Civil Rights Movement challenged them in the 1950s and 1960s.
