Skribentens beskrivelse af Jim Crow LawsJim Crow was a racial system which operated primarily, but not just in south and in the Border States, between 1877 and 1960. Jim Crow was more than a series of “anti-Black laws”. Under Jim Crow, African Americans were demoted to the second class, Negros couldn’t eat on the same restaurants as the White and the children couldn’t go to the same school as the white children. Jim Crow made anti-Black racism legal. Politicians gave speeches about the danger of integration. Newspaper and magazine writers’ articles about the black people, and they don’t call them Negros but niggers, coons, and darkies. All major institutions supported the oppression of Black people. |
