Why Jim Crow The term Jim Crow isbelieved to haveoriginated around 1830when a white, minstrelshow performer, Thomas"Daddy" Rice, blackenedhis face with charcoalpaste or burnt cork anddanced a ridiculous jigwhile singing the lyrics tothe song, "Jump JimCrow."

Thomas “Daddy” Rice Rice created this character after seeing (whiletraveling in the South) a crippled, elderly blackman (or some say a young black boy) dancingand singing a song that ended with the wordsJim Crow.

Jim Crow Laws Rice incorporated theskit into his minstrelact, and by the 1850sthe "Jim Crow"character had become astandard part of theminstrel show scene inAmerica.

Reflect in a sentence or twoEXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE ORSIMILARITIES BETWEEN BLACK CODESAND JIM CROW LAWS

Jim Crow Laws Although "Jim Crow Cars"on some northern railroadlines--meaning segregatedcars--pre-dated the CivilWar, in general the JimCrow era in Americanhistory dates from the late1890s, when southernstates began systematicallyto codify (or strengthen) inlaw and state constitutionalprovisions the subordinateposition of AfricanAmericans in society.

Jim Crow Laws Most of these legal stepswere aimed at separatingthe races in public spaces(public schools, parks,accommodations, andtransportation) andpreventing adult blackmales from exercising theright to vote. In every stateof the former Confederacy,the system of legalizedsegregation anddisfranchisement was fullyin place by 1910.

Jim Crow Laws Segregation anddisfranchisement lawswere often supported,moreover, by brutal actsof ceremonial andritualized mob violence(lynching) againstsouthern blacks.

Jim Crow Laws Indeed, from 1889 to1930, over 3,700 men andwomen were reportedlynched in the UnitedStates--most of whomwere southern blacks.Hundreds of otherlynchings and acts of mobterror aimed atbrutalizing blacksoccurred throughout theera but went unreportedin the press.

Jim Crow Laws Numerous race riotserupted in the Jim Crowera, usually in townsand cities and almostalways in defense ofsegregation and whitesupremacy.

Jim Crow Laws These riots engulfed thenation fromWilmington, NorthCarolina, to Houston,Texas; from East St.Louis and Chicago toTulsa, Oklahoma, in theyears from 1865 to1955.

Jim Crow Laws The riots usually eruptedin urban areas to whichsouthern, rural blacks hadrecently migrated. In thesingle year of 1919, atleast twenty-fiveincidents were recorded,with numerous deathsand hundreds of peopleinjured. So bloody wasthis summer of that yearthat it is Red Summer of1919.

Jim Crow Laws From 1875 to 1964numerous attemptswere made by states toenact civil rights for all,but the fight was longand arduous. It wasn’t until PresidentJohnson signed afederal law in 1964; itdid take full effect then.

Jim Crow Laws But the residualsremained as you willsee in Remember theTitans.
