Jim Crow laws sought to prevent the full integration of African American men into society. This included law-mandated segregation in all public facilities. It also included various forms of civil liberties suppression. Black men did not have the same rights to free speech, especially on the subject of racial equality, There were also several measures, such as voter tax and ID laws, that prevented African American men from being able to vote.
