[[File:Jimcrow1.jpg|thumb|375px|Cafe in Durham, North Carolina, 1940. with separate doors and seating for "White" and for "Colored." Most restaurants, theaters and sporting venues in the South had separate seating sections. [[New Deal]] Democrats introduced separate eating areas in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. among one of their first acts. Republican Rep. Oscar De Priest, the lone African American in the entire Congress, was forced to eat in hallway beside the kitchen in the basement.<ref>https://history.house.gov/People/Listing/D/DE-PRIEST,-Oscar-Stanton-(D000263)/</ref> Jack Delano, [[FSA]] photographer]]

Jim Crow was the system of laws passed by [[Democrats]] promoting racial segregation in the Southern U.S. from the 1880s to 1964 in which [[African American]]s were segregated (separated) in [[public school]]s and public places, so that they could not mingle in public with whites on equal terms. In addition to segregation, Jim Crow also assured that blacks had little or no political power.
