  1. Jim Crow Laws Destanee Lexi Jake

  2. Scenario • The Jim Crow Laws are any of the laws that enforced racial segregation in the south. • Jim Crow was the name of a minstrel routine performed by it author, Thomas Dartmouth also including Joseph Jefferson. • Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states

  3. Scenario continued • Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-black laws. • Many Christian ministers and theologians taught that whites were the Chosen people, blacks were cursed to be servants, and God supported racial segregation. • Jim Crow represented the legitimization of anti-black racism.

  4. Dates Continued • Mississippi Voids Mixed Marriage(1880)-The Mississippi legislature revises the state code to declare that any marriage between a white person and an African-American is "incestuous and void.“ • Voting Laws(1890)-Between 1890 and 1906, every southern state passes some sort of statute meant to prevent blacks from registering to vote. Most new elector requirements, such as the poll tax, literacy tests, and the "grandfather clause," appear colorblind, but in practice, function to eliminate the black vote altogether.

  5. Dates • Virginia Prohibits School Desegregation(1870)- A Virginia law prohibits black and white children from attending the same schools. • West Virginia Restricts Records(1872)- According to a West Virginia law, official records of black births, marriages, and deaths cannot be kept in the same books that contain records of white births, marriages, and deaths. • Ohio Restricts Marriage(1877)- An Ohio law prohibits a person of "pure white blood" from marrying or engaging in "illicit carnal intercourse" with anyone who has "a distinct and visible admixture of African blood."

  6. Movies and Songs • “Jump Jim Crow” was a song and a dance that was performed in 1828. • “Jim Crow Blues” was a song from the 1930’s.

  7. Documents • At the side is a letter dated back to November 23, 1887. Fredk Douglass, a black man, had wrote this letter explaining how things have become after the Civil War and how people of color do not get to have as good of schooling as the white and how the black schools were not funded as much. He also explained how people of color did not have the same privileges as the white. He believed, “Our wrongs are not so much now in written laws which all may see-but hidden practices of a people who have not yet abandoned the Idea of Mastery and dominion over their fellow man.
