Jim Crow's Legacy

"Liberation Declaration" tells the end of American slavery, but it still has little effect on the resolution of existing racism. If it were uncontrollable, that racial discrimination grew like a weed, rooted in almost all fields of American culture, from the white in the south to the local government and the state government on the south side of the Mason-Dickson line There. The Jim Crow law provides legal loopholes to avoid the spirit of the release declaration and provides legal protection to those who aim at the pre-combat / reconstruction era.

Many interviewees presented traumatic symptoms through interviews. Retired domestic workers accepted the interview to the book "Jim Crow's Legacy: Impact of Racial Discrimination", and she answered a few questions easily before being asked such a question . At that time, she sweated her forehead and got nervous. She can not remember the first encounter of the 1930s, but please remember how she explained her reaction to white.

The phrase "Jim Crowe law" was in the title of the article on the railroad vehicle of the New York Times that Louisiana state wanted isolation in 1892. The origin of the phrase "Jack Crow" is often derived from a black song and a caricature cartoon "Jumping · Jim · Crow" dancing with a black face by a white actor Thomas · D · Rice. This performance first appeared in 1832 was used to satire the populist policy of Andrew Jackson. For Rice's reputation, "Jim Crow" in 1838 became a derogatory term for "black". When the Southern Parliament passed the separation law against blacks at the end of the nineteenth century these laws were called the Jim Crow law.

Jim Crow etiquette is compatible with Jim Crow Law (black code). When most people think about Jim Crow, they believe they are excluded from public transportation, facilities, juries, work, and outside legislation (instead of Jim Crow's etiquette). Adoption of constitutional amendments 13, 14, 15 gives blacks the same legal protection as white people. However, after Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was elected in 1877, southern and border states began to limit black freedom. Unfortunately, for blacks, the Supreme Court's notorious Pressy v. Ferguson incident (1896) weakened protection of the black by the Constitution and legalized Jim Crow's law and Jim Crow's lifestyle.
