Intro
Thomas "Daddy" Dartmouth Rice was the most famous actor who painted his face and made the song Jumpin' Jim Crow famous.
The set of Jim Crow Laws and the implementation of Black Codes have haunted the United States since the Civil War and even throughout the 20th Century. The original Jim Crow changed to the Jim Crow laws as the Civil War came to an end because it was just another way to mock the blacks that were now free and striving to make a better life for themselves.
The Jim Crow Movement was one of the most influential factors that led to the immobilization of the black population in America from 1865-1950. This immobilization was a plan on the part of Southern landowners to make sure they did not have to grant rights to their former slaves and other African Americans, and by doing so led to the invisibility of black people in a hugely white society. The area of African American life, which was affected the most, was the education of black children in the South due to the conditions of the separate but equal idea. Jim Crow Laws made no effort to uplift the black community in any way, and hindered the progress that the people so deserved to be considered human.
This immobilization was a plan largely by Southern landowners, who wanted to ensure they did not have to grant rights to their former slaves and other African Americans. The result was the invisibility of black people in a hugely white society. The area of African American life, which was affected the most, was the education of black children in the South due to the segregation of "Separate but Equal." Jim Crow Laws made no effort to uplift the black community in any way, but rather hindered the progress that the people so deserved to be considered human, denying them equal rights.
