Fremon, David K.-The Jim Crow Laws and Racism in United States History - epub - zeke23 (Size: 1.27 MB)
Description In May 1954, the United States Supreme Court handed down its famous Brown v. Board of Education decision. The case was a challenge to "Jim Crow" laws in the South, in existence since the end of the Civil War, that separated almost all public places by race. The Supreme Court's rejection of the notion of "separate but equal" facilities legitimized the civil rights movement in America. In The Jim Crow Laws and Racism in United States History, author David K. Fremon traces the history of racial discrimination from the end of the Civil War through the Jim Crow era. Highlighting efforts to promote racial equality, Fremon shows how segregation made the South a caste system, with separate facilities-including water fountains, waiting rooms, hospitals, and cemeteries-for whites and blacks.23 About David K.
