The Jim Crow Laws by infantrydoctor(m): 8:40am On Oct 24, 2014
These are laws formulated and enforced to segregate blacks or say originally non americans in the US btw 1876 and 1965. I read some of these very harsh and malicious laws against non americans. Blacks like Marthin Luther King really fought against the laws and achieved success. Today they have all been constitutionally abolished.
I just feel l should share this with ppl who are not aware of it.
These are some of the laws.
1.
Separate schools to be provided for black students. Such would be established on request by 10 parents of such pupils.
2.
Separate textbooks for blacks and whites.
3
No sales of alcohols for lndians and africans.
4.
It was prohibited for blacks to marry whites.
5.
All persons licensed to operate a restaurant shall serve either white ppl exclusively or colored ppl exclusively and shall not serve both race in thesame room.
6.
It shall be unlawful for any baseball team of blacks to play on a play ground devoted for white teams and vice versa
7.
Blacks were to vacate their seats for whites on entering public buses and trains.
8.
Rail stations must provide separate waiting rooms for blacks
9.
It was unlawful for blacks to live in thesame building with whites.
10.
There shall be separate prisons for both races
11
As late as 1950s, it was illegal for whites to have sexual intercourse with blacks.
12
Funerals: whites and blacks shall use separate hearse. I can imagine the trauma those africans must have gone through. So annoying!

These are a few of the laws. They however differ from state to state.
