The correct responses are: B. African-American children attended inferior schools. C. African Americans were subject to unfair jury trials. E. African Americans had to use second-class public facilities. "Jim Crow" laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination, severely impacting the quality of education, legal rights, and access to public facilities for African Americans. While African Americans could vote, they faced significant obstacles such as literacy tests and poll taxes, rather than being outright banned under these laws. Participation in the U.S. military was also permitted but under segregated conditions.
