- Sign from Doctor's Office, "Colored Entrance in Rear," circa 1950 - "Jim Crow" laws separated blacks from whites in all aspects of daily life. Favoring whites and repressing blacks, these become an institutionalized form of inequality. Through separate (and inferior) public facilities like building entrances, elevators, cashier windows, and drinking fountains, African Americans were reminded everywhere of their second-class status. These practices were finally outlawed by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
