Your boy, Jim Crow.

It’s that time of year again when we begin our conversations in my Arkansas History classes about Jim Crow Laws and their relevance to Arkansas. Jim Crow Laws were laws that were created in the post slavery era as a way to bypass giving African Americans their civil rights granted by amendments 13-15. What we will be doing in class on Monday is taking a look at some specific Jim Crow Laws that were passed in Arkansas and around the US. We will be discussing their purpose and what affects they had race relations in Arkansas.
