Answer:

B) Jim Crow Laws

Explanation:

Jim Crow laws were laws passed by local and state governments, especially in the Southern states, that forced legal segregation of black and white citizens. This allowed for separate parks, restrooms, movie theaters, etc.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 helped to get rid of these Jim Crow laws. This civil rights law made it so that segregation of public places was now illegal. This was a huge step forward for African American citizens, as they now had access to better public facilities.

Answer:

B) Jim Crow laws.

Explanation:

Named for a fictitious character in a 19th century minstrel show, Jim Crow laws became the informal name for the series of laws created to discriminate against African Americans, thereby denying them such Constitutional rights such as voting and property. The Black Codes were created immediately after the Civil War, but were later undone by the 14th and 15th Amendments.
