The correct answer is: Jim Crow laws

Explanation:

Jim Crow laws refer to a collection of statutes that legalized racial segregation in the Southern United States, named after an insulting song about African Americans (Jump Jim Crow).

These laws were adopted between 1876 and 1965 and they permitted racial segregation in all public institutions in the southern states of the former Confederation, by supporting the principle "separate but equal".

Segregation in the northern states also existed, but in the areas of housing, bank lending practices and discrimination in the workplace.

Public school segregation was declared unconstitutional by the U. S. Supreme Court in 1954. The remains of Jim Crow laws were modified by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
