Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crows Laws are segregation and disenfranchisement laws that we are aganist. Jim Crows Laws affected most of out daily life, mandating segregation of schools, parks, libraries, drinking fountains, restrooms, buses, trains, and restaurants. Whites and Colored signs were hanged up everywhere reminding everyone to separate each other. Jim Crow Laws is a racial apartheid that dominated the American South for a long time. It was until now that a group of us Freedom Riders stand up for ourself and many others. Today we ride the Jim Crow car, and try to stop this law.
