  • Seperate entry doors and seating in movie theatres.
  • Poll Taxes and literacy tests in order to qualify to vote.
  • Seating in the back of the bus, or separate train cars and waiting rooms.
  • Seperate dining facilities.
  • Seperate bathroom facilities.
  • Seperate water fountains.
  • Seperate churches.
  • Seperate hotels, and bank tellers.
  • Seperate public and State parks.
  • Seperate schools and books could not be interchanged.
  • Seperate Doctors, Hospitals, graveyards and undertakers.
  • Curfews.
  • A ban on mixed-race dating and marriage, and mixed marriages declared illegal.
  • Seperate public phone booths, ball parks and ball park seating.
  • Seperate areas in public librarys.
  • Seperate jails and prisons.

Not all states had the same laws or restrictions and some were poorly regulated in various locales and jurisdictions. There were even towns that were completely separated, some were divided by the railroad tracks or a convenient creek. These laws were an abomination in a country governed by the US Constitution.
