The following examples of segregation are excerpts from examples of Jim Crow laws shown on the National Park Service website.

The examples include anti-miscegenation laws; though sometimes counted among the "Jim Crow laws" of the South, those laws had also existed outside the South for many years. Anti-miscegenation laws were not repealed by the Civil Rilhts Act of 1964 but were declared unconstitutional in the 1960 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia.
