Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in the US, the Civil Rights Movement fought against discriminatory laws, and societal views on segregation have evolved over time.
Jim Crow laws were a set of laws enforced primarily in the southern United States from the late 1800s until 1965, legalizing discrimination based on race, particularly impacting Black Americans by denying them fundamental rights like equal access to education and voting. These laws mandated racial segregation in various aspects of public and private life.
During the Civil Rights Movement, political organizations used a philosophy that highlighted the discrepancies between societal norms of fairness and equality and the discriminatory laws that targeted African Americans. The movement aimed to dismantle racist structures and fight for equality in different domains like education, voting, and public accommodations.
Few whites today support segregation and Jim Crow views, marking a shift in societal attitudes influenced by experiences like the civil rights movement and reflections on racism following the Nazi era, leading to a gradual decline in Jim Crow racism and support for segregation.
