 Did you know??? Jim Crow laws is something that helped spread segregation by making seperate hospitals, schools and also drinking fountains for blacks and whites.The main idea behind the Jim Crow laws was "separate but equal". It was a legal way to continue the discrimination against the African Americans in the southern states. You can say that the affect of these laws developed two different societies in the US.

One example of an African American overcoming obstacles is Thurgood Marshall. Thurgood Marshall was an American jurist and the first african american to serve on the Supreme court of the United States. He won his first major civil rights case, //Murray v. Pearson//, 169 Md. 478 (1936). This involved the first attempt to chip away at //Plessy v. Ferguson//, a plan created by his co-counsel on the case Charles Hamilton Houston.
