Definition
A system of state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States from the 1870s through the 1960s. These laws mandated the separation of white and black people in public spaces, schools, transportation, and facilities.
Etymology
Named after a racist minstrel show character performed in blackface by white entertainer Thomas Rice in the 1830s. The term became associated with discriminatory laws after Reconstruction ended in 1877, representing the legal codification of white supremacy.
Kelly Says
Jim Crow laws created a parallel but unequal society that lasted nearly a century, spawning the civil rights movement and leaders like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. The 'separate but equal' doctrine was finally overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, but its legacy still influences American racial dynamics today.
