Under Jim Crow laws, African Americans were deprived of several rights, including the right to vote. Legal barriers such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and understanding clauses were implemented to disenfranchise Black voters. Additionally, they faced segregation in public spaces, which denied them equal access to education, transportation, and facilities, reinforcing systemic racism and social inequality. These laws institutionalized discrimination and upheld racial hierarchy in the southern United States.
