Jim Crow laws of segregation

The Jim Crow laws were a list of laws that were meant to separate the white and colored people. All of the Freedom Riders did not agree with the laws of Jim Crow. Another reason why we set out for our journey was to challenge the laws of Jim Crow. I hated each and every one of those laws, who were they to say that White people have more value compared to colored people. The Jim Crow laws were unfair laws made my local states on the United States. They were mostly in southern states of the United States. A couple examples of Jim Crow laws were that whites could not be abe to marry anyone who was at last 1/8 black, hispanic, or asian. Another example is when they made different schools for white and colored people. They also had a law stating that colored barbers were not allowed to cut the hair of white women and children. These laws were unfair to the colored people.
