Jim Crow laws | High School Informational (Expository) Reading Fluency Passage | High School Reading Level Grade 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th
The Jim Crow laws were racial segregation laws enacted
between 1876 and 1965 in the United
States at the state and local level. They
mandated de jure (separating) racial segregation in all public facilities in
Southern states of the former Confederacy, with, starting in 1890, a
"separate but equal" status for African Americans. The separation in
practice led to conditions for African Americans that tended to be inferior to
those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic,
educational and social disadvantages. De jure segregation mainly applied to the
Southern United States . While Northern
segregation was generally de facto, there were patterns of segregation in
housing enforced by covenants, bank lending practices, and job discrimination,
including discriminatory union practices for decades. CWPM 122
Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public
schools, public places, and public transportation, and the segregation of
restrooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains for whites and blacks. The U.S. military
was also segregated. CWPM 160
These Jim Crow Laws followed the 1800–1866 Black Codes,
which had previously restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African
Americans with no pretense of equality. State-sponsored school segregation was
declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1954 in Brown v.
Board of Education. Generally, the remaining Jim Crow laws were overruled by
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. CWPM 230
