Madeleine Rivera · Answer 2

The correct answer is D. As a result of Jim Crow Laws, public places had separate facilities for black people and white people.

Explanation:

Jim Crow Laws were a form of legislation in the United States between 1876 and 1965, the purpose of which was to maintain segregation between whites and blacks. The principle was "equal, but separate", which made it possible to create laws and regulations that discriminated against blacks despite having the same rights as whites on paper. Such laws could be of an orderly nature, such as prohibiting blacks from using the same drinking water fountains and buses as whites, but also of a political nature, such as requiring those who wanted to vote for a special election tax, or even a voting rights test.
