    The best answer is A.

    Laws that enforced racial segregation in the south between the end of Reconstruction in 1877 and the beginning of the civil right movement in the 1950s were named Jim Crow laws.

    Jim Crow was the name of a show whose full title was "Jump Jim Crow" performed in the beginning 1828. The term came to be used as a derogatory word against African Americans and the segregated life they lived.

    From the late 1870s Southern states passed laws requiring separation of whites from "persons of color" on public transportation and schools, which came to an end almost a whole century later.
