The video introduces Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation in the late 1800s. It discusses the Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, and 15th) that aimed to provide rights to African Americans. Despite initial progress, Jim Crow laws led to legal segregation in public and private spaces. The Supreme Court case Plessy vs. Ferguson upheld segregation under the 'separate but equal' doctrine, which was rarely equal in practice. The video also highlights differing responses to discrimination by W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.
