The Jim Crow Laws

The Jim Crow Laws were a series of state and local laws enforcing segregation. They made it so that a black man was very limited in what they could do with white men. Here is a list from The Ferris State Universities Jim Crow Museum:

A black male could not offer his hand (to shake hands) with a white male because it implied being socially equal. Obviously, a black male could not offer his hand or any other part of his body to a white woman.

Blacks and whites were not supposed to eat together. If they did eat together, whites were to be served first, and some sort of partition was to be placed between them.

Under no circumstance was a black male to offer to light the cigarette of a white female – that gesture implied intimacy.

Blacks were not allowed to show public affection toward one another in public, especially kissing, because it offended whites.

Jim Crow etiquette prescribed that blacks were introduced to whites, never whites to blacks. For example: “Mr. Peters (the white person), this is Charlie (the black person), that I spoke to you about.”

Whites did not use courtesy titles of respect when referring to blacks, for example, Mr., Mrs., Miss., Sir, or Ma'am. Instead, blacks were called by their first names. Blacks had to use courtesy titles when referring to whites, and were not allowed to call them by their first names.

If a black person rode in a car driven by a white person, the black person sat in the back seat, or the back of a truck.

White motorists had the right-of-way at all intersections.

Separate Cars

In 1890, Louisiana passed the “Separate Auto Law,” which purported to aid passenger comfort by creating “equal but separate” buses for blacks and whites. This was a ruse. No public lodgment, including railway travel, handed blacks with equal utilities. The Louisiana law made it illegal for blacks to sit in coach seats reserved for whites, and whites couldn't sit in seats reserved for blacks.

Rebellion

In 1891, a group of blacks decided to test the Jim Crow law. They had Homer A. Plessy, who was seven-eighths white and one-eighth black (thus, black), sit in the white-only railway coach. He was arrested. Plessy's attorney-at-law argued that Louisiana didn't have the right to label one citizen as
