In the 1880’s after slavery was abolished, the Jim Crow laws were passed. Jim Crow laws were a set of laws that segregated the Whites from the Blacks in their everyday lives. Jim Crow was a fictional character in a play used that was to imitate a black man and mock the African American culture. Jim Crow laws were specifically for the African American community. These laws were taken more seriously in the South. The laws enforced racial segregation and were established as “separate but equal” (Jim Crow Laws). The Jim Crow laws had a negative effect on the African American population and subjected Blacks to segregation, more discrimination, and more racism than they had already received.

Before there were players such as Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Barry Bonds, Major League Baseball was strictly white players only. The color line of Major League Baseball excluded black players until the late 40’s. This didn’t stop the colored men of America from playing the beloved American sport. The creation of the Negro Leagues in 1920 by Rube Foster gave colored men a chance to play in their own professional league, similar to the Major Leagues, but for African-American men. The creation of the Negro Leagues was a result of the Jim Crow Laws, state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the Southern United States. Enacted after the Reconstruction period in the U.S., these laws continued in force until 1965. These laws created

In a progressive society like the United States, looking to the past is common, to learn from our mistakes but some undeniable issues of the past repeat and are omitted from our society because of their unpleasant nature, a great example of this is the Jim-Crow Era. In this paper, I will be discussing the main events of the Jim-Crow era, its initiation, the new style of slavery in the south, and the way it re-shaped the lives of African Americans all across the country, its re-enforcement in the beginning of the twentieth century, its major supporters, like the Ku Klux Klan. Confederate state leaders, and its major oppositions like the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, and the idea of the United States setting a global example of

Jim Crow sets the guidelines for a violent mindset that will fabricate deadly culture norms. The Jim Crow laws did not directly address that a person of color like Emmett could not go into Bryants' store and supposedly "flirt" with her. It was not the law of division that allowed Carolyn's husband and brother-in-law to beat young Emmett to death, burn in his body and throw him in the river. It was the self-entitlement that white lives mattered more than blacks derived from Jim Crow laws saying the contradiction of separate but equal that allowed the killing of a 14-year-old boy on false accusations without legal implications for the murderers. There were unspoken rules and social standings that would not be tolerated anymore.

2. The social and economics of the Jim Crow era were all deeply rooted due to racism at this time and everything was segregated. The two races could even drink out of the same water fountain and most time the blacks just got what the whites

On February 26, 1926 Charles G. Woddson started the Negro History Week, which coincided with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Now, this week has grown into Black History Month, which is celebrated during the duration of February. During this month, the history of African Americans is recognized and discussed. While African-American history dates back to the 1500s, many focus on the era during the Civil Rights Movement. During this time, Jim Crow laws were heavily enforced, but where did these Jim Crow laws come from? Why were these oppressive laws named Jim Crow? While many people have heard of Jim Crow laws, most do not know or understand the origins, history, affects, and aftermaths of this infamous name.

I just discovered that between 1877 and the mid-1960’s, our country, especially the South, functioned under Jim Crow Laws. Jim Crow Laws were used in order to relegate African Americans to the status of second class citizens, living in a society which taught them that whites were superior to blacks in all important ways. Through the Jim Crow Laws, white people justified their thoughts of being more intelligent, having more morals, and behaving in a more civilized way, than blacks. If a black person were to question one of these, the white person could use violence in order to make sure they understand, that blacks they are at the bottom of the hierarchy. A black person could risk losing their homes, their jobs, and even their lives in some cases, if they didn’t follow the Jim

In America, people used to deal with racism daily in The Jim Crow South, the era of ‘Separate but equal.’ In the South, many people of African-American descent experienced racism seen never before. Since the 1960’s, Americans have tried, and tried again to fight for the rights of people, but it never seems like enough. People have long debated, and are still debating, about the issue of Jim Crow, and whether it still lives on today. The effects of The Jim Crow South today still negatively affecting African-Americans today in the south.

Imagine having your life on the line because someone thinks you have committed a crime you did not commit. During the 1930s colored people were put down and were inferior to whites. Everyone was trying to find a place in society but it was made especially hard for the African Americans in this time. They were pushed to the bottom of everything and treated like nothing. In Harper Lee's very impactful book To Kill a Mockingbird, she illustrates what it was like for one black man to be pushed aside like he was nothing mainly because he was black. In her book she uses examples from real life examples from those times like: the Jim Crow laws, the effects of racism and the Scottsboro Trials.

What are the Jim Crow Laws? How badly did it affect the blacks? That is what I am here to talk about. I’m going to show you how badly the blacks were treated under the Jim Crow Laws. Without further ado, let’s get started.

The Scottsboro case began abroad a train when a young white male stepped on the hand of a Black youth, Haywood Patterson. According to Linder and his studies on famous American trials, a “stone throwing fight erupted” between Black and white youths. The Blacks became infuriated and forced the whites off the train. In the process of doing so, a

Jim Crow laws were a complex system of laws and customs that separated races in the South. They were very restrictive to African American people, and lenient to Caucasian people.

Throughout the late 19th century, African Americans did not have the same rights as white people, which led towards the establishment of Jim Crow laws. Jim Crow laws segregated blacks from whites in a political, educational, and social setting, which created unfair treatment towards people of color. In Devil in the Grove, four African American boys, known as the Groveland Boys, were falsely accused of raping a white woman in Florida, which was known as the Groveland case. Thurgood Marshall, who was a part of The National Association of Advancement for Colored People (NAACP), helped to solve the Groveland case, as he was an advocate in fighting against Jim Crow segregation. The labor force, vigilante groups, and legal precedents led towards the establishment of Jim Crow policies by segregating black people from white people in public areas. African Americans contested these policies by creating legal organizations that overturned cases supporting segregation laws and using music as a way to protest against the Jim Crow policies.

I was also, intrigued by Alexanders view on the war and drugs and it's relation to the African American community. African Americans are punished longer for the same crimes that whites commit, are likely to be critiqued for it longer as well. She further elaborates by explaining how black children are now raised by by single parents, due to the mass imprisonment of black fathers. The aftermath includes being "...denied the right to vote, automatically excluded from juries, and legally discriminated against in employment, housing, access to education, and public benefits, much as their grandparents and great-grandparents were during the Jim Crow era"(pg). In other words it can be clearly seen that blacks are selected and targeted, this system
