Discriminatory Jim Crow laws - Essay Example

Under Jim Crow Laws, access to resources such as schools, public settings such as parks and restrooms as well as transport facilities provided by the government was divided among the populations of the white race and the black race who resided in the regions of southern as well as northern United States. These laws were quite discriminatory in nature because the access to resources allocated to the black was quite inferior to the resources offered to the white race.

            The Jim Crow Laws were removed from the constitution of the United States in a step-by-step manner, the earliest efforts were made during the case of Buchanan v. Warley in which the Supreme Court restricted the division of residential opportunities on the basis of race and the complete removal of these laws came into effect during the period of 1965 when all citizens of the United States were allowed to participate in voting (Verney 97).
