Summary of passage

During the late 1800s and early 1900s in the United States, Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in public places. These laws were named after a character in a song and dance routine that made fun of African Americans. Black people were not allowed to use the same facilities as white people and faced barriers to voting. The laws were unfair and hurtful, making black people feel inferior. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, sparked by Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat, was a significant event in the fight against Jim Crow laws. After more than a year of boycotting, the Supreme Court ruled segregation on buses unconstitutional. Thanks to the bravery of individuals like Rosa Parks, Jim Crow laws were eventually abolished, reminding us of the importance of equality for all.
