Why were the Jim Crow laws abolished?
Asked by Wiki User
Basically the laws were racist and fundamentally incompatible with American values (like freedom and equality). African-American organizations like the NAACP and SNCC and countless individuals insisted that they be treated like people and worked hard to force the government to enforce the 14th and 15th amendments.

The segregation and discrimination under the Jim Crow laws (1876-1965) was eventually dismantled after years of civil rights efforts.
The Supreme Court recognized that these laws were incompatible with equal treatment under law and overturned Plessy v. Furguson in the landmark ruling Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This led to conflict between the federal government and the states, but after a decade of racial strife, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 meant the end of Jim Crow and separate but equal.
Most of the surviving laws were eventually ruled to be extensions of discrimination on the basis of race, and deemed unconstitutional.

How has the elimination of the Jim crow laws changed life in your town or city?
Asked by Wiki User
It hasnt changed a bit its we're not hiring or simply take you to jail to establish a record so you cant vote its the new silent treatment way of slavery which needs a broad approach when dealind with poverty for all americans but especially blacks because in jim crow laws it was said that other ethnic groups were able to come as long as they can establish work blacks on the other hand wer'nt ment to suceed: as written in the jim crow laws: old white senoirs run a vast majority of intelectual jobs :if a african american is to suceed he has to have a track record of supporters or a higher education than normal but as far as sitting down to teach us to be succesful and well welcomed its just never going to happen just simply because we were ment to be at the bottom. I love the people whoare not racists but the seniors of the founding fathers still some kind of way feel that their famliy history and dignity is at stake and as long as they are able to excercise this emotion most blacks will always have to work twice as hard to suceed: you see on fox news station after the election almost all republicans are talking about is getting the latino votes and while a few of them mention black if that aint racial divide at its finest then i dont know what is. written proudly by Dyron Baxter of Lubbock Texas
