I believe it tries to cover up the truth. If it would be equal it wouldn't have to be separate. People in Jackson Mississippi were told that they had to have a bathroom that would be equal in the meaning of how it is, the bathroom would be the same "construction" but it had to be separate because white people should not use the same bathroom as the "Negroes" because they would catch infections.
2. Do a simple online research about Jim Crow Laws. Identify what outcomes - forced upon domestic workers - were present in "The Help".
They are in the movie because of the years that this movie represents. Examples of the Jim Crow Laws on the movie could be the transportation. If we see closely when the maids went home to work, they all came in a same bus that was only being used by black people. And when they use a normal bus they make them leave because a "Negro" just got shot.
