Answer 1

Correct answer: "African Americans/Blacks were restricted from entering many public places."

Explanation: In Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) the Supreme Court upheld state laws requiring racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, which legalized Jim Crow segregation and led to widespread exclusion of Black people from many public facilities and services.
