[Kentucky]
Acts Passed at the ... General Assembly for the Commonwealth of Kentucky
(Lexington, 1892).
Jim Crow laws were passed particularly in the American South after Reconstruction, enforcing racial segregation and very greatly limiting Black civil rights. Voting rights were severely restricted, and separate schools, libraries, and public accommodations were enforced by law. In the 1892 Kentucky statute on display, separate railway cars were to be furnished for Black passengers, the issue tested and accepted in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) under the “separate but equal” doctrine.
