Local laws in the South, particularly during the Jim Crow era, institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. These laws enforced practices such as voter suppression, unequal education, and restricted access to public services, effectively marginalizing Black communities. Additionally, the legal system often upheld violence and intimidation against African Americans, perpetuating a cycle of oppression and disenfranchisement.

The Supreme Court case that used the post-Civil War amendments to advance rights for African Americans was Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This landmark decision declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, effectively overturning the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). The Court relied on the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to argue that segregated educational facilities are inherently unequal, thus advancing civil rights for African Americans. This case was pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to greater efforts to dismantle segregation and discrimination.
Rosa Parks played a critical role in the Civil Rights Movement as her role was in a sense a poster child for the unequal treatment of the African American community.
