Building Background
  • 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.
