List of Jim Crow law examples by State A Black American drinks from a segregated water cooler in 1939 at a streetcar terminal in Oklahoma City. This is a list of examples of Jim Crow laws, which were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. Jim Crow laws existed mainly in the South and originated from the Black Codes that were enforced from 1865 to 1866 and from prewar segregation on railroad cars in northern cities. The laws sprouted up in the late 19th century after Reconstruction and lasted until the 1960s.[1] They mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment that was usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.[2] State-sponsored school segregation was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1954 in Brown v.

Jim Crow Museum: Origins of Jim Crow Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states, between 1877 and the mid-1960s. Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-black laws. It was a way of life. Under Jim Crow, African Americans were relegated to the status of second class citizens. The Jim Crow system was undergirded by the following beliefs or rationalizations: whites were superior to blacks in all important ways, including but not limited to intelligence, morality, and civilized behavior; sexual relations between blacks and whites would produce a mongrel race which would destroy America; treating blacks as equals would encourage interracial sexual unions; any activity which suggested social equality encouraged interracial sexual relations; if necessary, violence must be used to keep blacks at the bottom of the racial hierarchy. A black male could not offer his hand (to shake hands) with a white male because it implied being socially equal.
SEA Semester | Study Abroad with SEA Semester: Ocean Science & Sailing Program - Nautical, Maritime, & Oceanography Studies | SPICE Atlas Project: Moorea Moorea: Maritime History and Culture When Polynesians first arrived at Moorea, they were unable to survive solely on the terrestrial resources and developed a close relationship with the ocean. This relationship shaped early Moorean culture and is still important. Religion Early Polynesian religion was closely connected to the ocean.In ancient Polynesia, Tangaroa was worshiped as the God of the sea and the ocean was viewed as having its own spiritual aura (Elliott, 2004). The Canoes of Polynesian Immigration Evidence suggests that Polynesians settled Moorea and the other Society Islands sometime between 700 and 1150 A.D. There were single hulled canoes, which varied greatly in size. Many variations were developed from the basic single-hull design. Many Polynesian boats were also equipped with sails, which enabled them to travel further distances. Developing a thorough understanding of ancient Polynesian boats is difficult, due to the lack of surviving physical evidence. Fishing in Moorea

Rosa Parks 1913-2005: We Air a Rare 1956 Interview with Parks During the Montgomery Bus Boycott It was 50 years ago this December that Rosa Parks refused to relinquish her seat to a white man aboard a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was arrested and convicted of violating the state’s segregation laws. Her act of resistance led to a 13-month boycott of the Montgomery bus system that would spark the civil rights movement. And it would inspire freedom struggles abroad including in South Africa. The bus boycott would also help transform a 26-year-old preacher named Martin Luther King Junior to national prominence. Rosa Parks’ arrest came just months after the lynching of Emmett Till. At the time of her arrest, Parks was a 43-year-old seamstress and a seasoned civil rights activist. After the successful bus boycott Parks would continue to take part in the civil rights movement in this country. We go back to 1956 in the midst of the Montgomery Bus Boycott to one of the earliest preserved interviews with Rosa Parks. This is a rush transcript. Show Full Transcript ›
Examples of Jim Crow Laws "It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other at any game of pool or billiards." This selection is an example of a Jim Crow law that was effective in the state of Alabama from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Jim Crow laws functioned to keep black and white people separated, particularly in social settings and social institutions such as marriage. More Jim Crow Laws These hateful laws worked to enforce segregation amongst the races, which ultimately led to civil rights actions starting in the 1950s, led by individuals such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Examples of laws that caused these extreme tensions in the country included the following: Marriage - "All marriages between a white person and a negro, or between a white person and a person of negro descent to the fourth generation inclusive, are hereby forever prohibited."

World | Americas | 'I have a dream' On 28 August, 1963, Martin Luther King delivered his magnificent "I have a dream speech" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Below is the full text of his speech. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. But 100 years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. And so we've come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of colour are concerned. Sweltering summer... of discontent We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. There will be neither rest nor tranquillity in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights.
