Question 3 • OK-Oklahoma History

Explain how Senate Bill One segregated the state of Oklahoma. Be sure to include specific examples of segregated areas in your answer.

Answer

Answer:

Senate Bill One made segregation official in Oklahoma by requiring African Americans and whites to be separated in public transportation and related public spaces. For example, it required separate railroad cars or coaches for Black and white passengers and separate waiting rooms in railroad depots. By forcing people to use separate facilities based on race, the law helped establish Oklahoma as a segregated Jim Crow state.
