This is a Coca-Cola vending machine for whites only. It clearly shown that these are ice cold drinks to enjoy, but not for African Americans. Shameful history
Even Coca Cola, the biggest coke company in the world today, discriminated against black people making their coke for 'White Customers Only'
Shows an example of Segregation, that whites were seen as the superior shown in this example of an advertisemeng for Coca Cola, "white customers only"
Kenny Morales: This picture shows that even Coca-Cola Machines were segregated. This one was for white customers only.
Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public places. Black people didn't have the power to do all that they wanted.
African-Americans were not allowed luxuries like those which the whites had. "White Customers Only" is clearly displayed on this poster.

Dear Lord, this literally turned my stomach. After reading it, I was amazed that the "negroes" were big enough in spirit to even WANT to sit next to a white....if I ran into someone like this I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole, and yet these were the people African Americans had to deal with every day of their lives....holy shit.

Example of Jim Crow Laws. I have always heard the name, but this is the first time I actually saw any. Seems unbelievable these ever existed
This is an example of JIM CROW laws. These laws were WRITTEN AND ENFORCED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Forced SEGREGATION was also ENFORCED by the DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Example of Jim Crow Laws. What happened to the culture that made this possible, and to a large degree acceptable; did it just vanish, did it simply disappear, atrophy with time? Is that possible; do widely held beliefs dissolve without an explicit counter-action to challenge the notion and sanction the misbehavior? Doubtful.
This image is an example of some of the Jim Crow Laws, which clearly shows how he repudiated African Americans. According to Crow, white and black, was something that should not be combine in any action. Also, education was not appropriate for black people in schools with white people, overall white and black were not equal over Crow eyes.
the jim crow laws was basically the start for all african americans it helped all african americas a lot and it was over ruled by the civil rights movement

A black man fearlessly drinks out of a "white only" water fountain when segregation was at its worst. This photo caught my eye because it displays something I haven't seen in many civil rights pictures: humor. He seems to almost be daring the person behind the camera to challenge him.
Black History This Is The Time When Blacks Couldn't Do The Same Things White People Could Do.At 11 years old (1955) I saw an elderly african american man get on a Houston city bus. He was old, crippled and looked so weary as with eyes downcast he dutifully walked to the rear of the bus. Thank God I saw him because it changed me forever.
