Question 5 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

Which scenario is an example of segregation under Jim Crow laws?

Answer
A
Whites drove cars, while African Americans rode public buses.
B
Whites voted freely, while African Americans had limited voting rights.
C
Whites and African Americans earned different wages for the same job.
D
Whites and African Americans used different restrooms and other facilities.

Explanation

Segregation means separating people by race in public places and facilities. Under Jim Crow laws, white and African American people were often required to use different restrooms and other public facilities, so D is the example. The other choices describe differences in transportation, voting rights, or wages rather than separation in shared facilities.
