    During the 1950s and '60s, African-Americans campaigned for an end to racial discrimination through a series of non-violent protests and marches. The Civil Rights Movement culminated with the passage of federal laws banning discrimination in voting, employment, housing and other sectors of American society.

    Following the 1883 decision, "Jim Crow" laws began cropping up all over the U.S., but primarily in the South, dominating the lives of African-Americans for decades. The Supreme Court left it up to the states to pass laws of equality or discrimination. One of the most widely discussed examples is Louisiana's "separate but equal accommodations" law.

    In this milestone decision, the Supreme Court ruled that separating children in public schools on the basis of race was unconstitutional. It signaled the end of legalized racial segregation in the schools of the United States, overruling the "separate but equal" principle set forth in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case.

    The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded in 1909. Among those involved were prominent African Americans W.E.B. DuBois and Ida Wells-Barnett. The organization was an outgrowth of DuBois's Niagara Movement, which sought to improve African-American rights at least partly through increased educational opportunities for blacks.

    Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) upheld a Louisiana law demanding segregated railway cars and established the doctrine of "separate but equal" in American constitutional law. Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833-1911) dissented, charging that "the judgment this day rendered will, in time, prove to be quite as pernicious as the decision made by this tribunal in the Dred Scott case."

    The 1961 Freedom Rides were public bus trips undertaken by racially integrated groups through the Deep South to test the enforcement of a newly enacted court order prohibiting segregation in interstate bus terminals. The riders were met with hostility and violence in a number of states, and they encountered some of the worst violence inAlabama.

    Jim Crow Laws The segregation and disenfranchisement laws known as "Jim Crow" represented a formal, codified system of racial apartheid that dominated the American South for three quarters of a century beginning in the 1890s. The laws affected almost every aspect of daily life, mandating segregation of schools, parks, libraries, drinking fountains, restrooms, buses, trains, and restaurants.
