Is This Justice?
By Chase Hunt and Jenish Patel
What are Jim Crow Laws?
Blacks couldn't go to the same bathroom, couldn't go to the same stores, and there was many more discriminated laws which the blacks must follow.
Discriminated Restrooms
Discriminated Restaurants
Discriminated Water fountain
Forced To Obey!
What did they have to go through?
Here are a few.
1. Blacks were not allowed to show public affection toward one another in public, especially kissing, because it offended whites.
2. If a black person rode in a car driven by a white person, the black person sat in the back seat or the back of a truck
3. A black male could not offer his hand ( to shake hands) with a white male because it implied being socially equal. obviously, a black male could not offer his hand or any other part of his body to a white women, because he risked being accused of rape.
This was just a few of the many unequal laws that they were forced to obey. The Jim Crow laws were a way to show that the whites did not want the blacks to have what they had.
