From the Paper:

" Jim Crow laws were enacted to continue the separate but equal beliefs of the politicians with regard to treatment of African Americans. According to those who supported the Jim Crow laws, as long as there were separate but equal accommodations for Blacks and Whites the constitution was being obeyed. Trains had cars for Whites and different cars for Blacks. There were White water fountains in public buildings and water fountains that only Blacks could use. "
