The Jim Crow laws were laws that made segregation and discrimination legal after the civil war. They were named after a popular song called, "Jim Crow". These laws established a "separate is equal" system between the two races. These laws said that the blacks were not allowed into restraunts, public restrooms, boarding stations, parks, theatres, and many more. In 1896 in the Plessey vs. Ferguson case said that separate facilties were constitutional encouraged. But, in 1954 the Jim Crow Laws were overruled and destroyed.
