Fortunately, they don't. Anymore.

In the middle twentieth century, in the United States, they used them (in addition to restrooms, parts of public transportation and restaurants) because of a culturally institutionalized phenomenon called "segregation". Look it up.

What did John F. Kennedy do to help the African American people?

In the early 1960's people with the different skin colour (Blacks and Whites) where treated differently. They had also had to use different public facilities. For example, Blacks couldn't eat in the same restaurants, drink out of the same drinking fountains, or use the same bathrooms as Whites. Blacks were lived in ghettos while Whites were moving into richer suburban areas. Many did not have a chance to vote. Blacks and Whites usually went to separate schools. President John F. Kennedy helped change this unfairness by developing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned segregation in the US schools and public places. It also started the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
