After the Civil War African Americans were segregated in public places, but in the South blacks were segregated on a much larger scale. A series of laws that became known as the Jim Crow Laws were passed segregating races in most public places, such as on rail cars, restaurants, theaters, bathrooms and drinking fountains. Because laws made it hard for blacks to get ahead, many moved west to Kansas where such laws did not exist. This migration was called the Exodus. Booker T. Washingtonwas the most well known black polition of the time and helped African Americans by getting funds, from blacks and whites, for education for blacks, and by gaining support from other white politions.
