Is it true that African Americans lived lives that were "separate but equal" in the decades after Reconstruction?

Explanation:

This was not the case. Segregation and Jim Crowe laws still persisted well after the end of slavery. African Americans were treated as second class citizens and were denied  many of their rights even after the passage of the 15th amendment. Many people tried to deny them of their voting rights through poll taxes and literacy tests. Many states tried to use the "grandfather clause" which aimed to keep descendants of slaves from participating in elections. There was no "separate but equal" for African Americans after Reconstruction.
