Jim Crow Laws
Legal separation of blacks and whites was commonly referred to as segregation in the United States, particularly during the Jim Crow era. This practice was enforced through laws known as Jim Crow laws which mandated racial segregation in public facilities and institutions.

This is an example of the rule of segregation, which enforced racial separation and discrimination based on skin color. This practice was legally sanctioned in many states in the US until it was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the case of Loving v. Virginia in 1967.
Jim Crow laws consisted of any piece of legislation or local policy that restricted the movement of blacks. For example, while blacks could ride in railcars, they had to sit in designated ones. If they chose to ride on a city bus, they had to sit in the back. Many stores and restaurants denied entry to blacks or had areas to keep them segregated from whites. In many cities, blacks could only live in certain areas of town.
Whites and blacks worked together in various ways, such as participating in the Underground Railroad to help slaves escape to free states, collaborating in abolitionist organizations to advocate for the end of slavery, and forming alliances in the fight against segregation and discrimination during the Civil Rights Movement. These collaborations were key in challenging oppressive systems and advancing the cause of freedom for slaves and civil rights for all.
