"Jim Crow" laws were state and local statutes enacted in the United States, primarily in the southern states, that enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. These laws established a system of legal racial segregation in all aspects of public life, including schools, transportation, restrooms, and restaurants, effectively disenfranchising Black citizens and promoting social and economic inequality. The term "Jim Crow" originated from a racist caricature and came to symbolize the broader system of oppression that characterized the post-Reconstruction era through the mid-20th century until the civil rights movement led to their eventual dismantling.
