The Rise of Jim Crow

Question 2 • (AG Q4) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

After Reconstruction, why were a number of lawsuits filed against theaters, hotels, and other public places?

Answer
A
African American people had been unfairly denied access to them.
B
African American workers had been paid less than other workers.
C
African American customers had been charged more than others.
D
African American people had been denied jobs in those businesses.

Explanation

After Reconstruction, many public places used segregation to keep African Americans out or separate them from white customers. Lawsuits challenged this unfair denial of access to theaters, hotels, and similar businesses. Choice A is correct; the other choices describe workplace or pricing discrimination rather than access to public places.
