Ending segregation in the United States was a challenging and complex process due to various factors. One major obstacle was the existence of numerous state and federal laws that enforced segregation. Option C is the correct answer.
These laws, often referred to as Jim Crow laws , mandated racial segregation in public facilities, such as schools, buses, restaurants, and even drinking fountains. These laws were deeply entrenched in the legal and social fabric of society, making it difficult to challenge and overturn them. Segregation had become deeply ingrained in the social and cultural norms of the time, with many individuals and institutions supporting and upholding the discriminatory practices.
