| Life in the United States before civil rights was not easy for black
Americans. In many states they were kept apart from white people by rules
called the Jim Crow Laws. These were laws that were the basis of segregation.
Segregation was the seperation of white and black Americans. These laws
treated black Americans like second-class citizens. They did not have the
right to vote, the did not have the right to work, live or travel where
they wanted to. |
