  • Under Jim Crow laws African Americans were known as second class citizens.

    • African Americans were not permitted to do multiple things such as shake hands with white people, offer to light a cigarette for a female, or not aloud to show public affection.

    • Back in 1941 a fourteen year old boy named Emmett Till broke some of the Jim Crow laws. This is a picture of him before and after he was killed.
    • Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the Southern United States. Enacted after the Reconstruction period, these laws continued in force until 1965
                
              Some Examples of Jim-crow laws
    • whites are superior to blacks in all ways
    • white and blacks breeding would produce a mongrel race
    • violence is acceptable to keep blacks in check
    • The Jim Crow laws were enacted by Southern states, beginning in the late 1870's.
    •  They mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in states of former Confederate States of America, starting in 1890 with a "separate but equal" status for African Americans.

  • The Red Summer refers to the summer and fall of 1919, in which race riots exploded in a number of cities in both the North and South.
  • On the afternoon of July 27, 1919, a stone-throwing melee between blacks and whites began after a black youth mistakenly swam into territory claimed by whites off the 29th Street beach in Chicago.
  • Eugene Williams, a black youth, drowned. When a white police officer refused to arrest the white men involved in the death, and instead arrested a black man, racial tensions escalated.
  • By the time the riot ended in Chicago 23 blacks and 15 whites were dead, 537 injured, and 1,000 black families were left homeless.
  • There were multiple race riots that took place in Wilmington, North Carolina 1898; Atlanta, Georgia 1906; Springfield, Illinois 1908; East St. Louis, Illinois 1917; Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921; and Detroit, Michigan 1943.
  • In each of the race riots, with few exceptions, it was white people who started the riots by attacking black people.

  • African-American athletes faced a lot of discrimination during the  Jim Crow period.
  • White opposition led to their exclusion from most organized sporting competitions. The boxers Jack Johnson and Joe Louis (both of whom became world heavyweight boxing champions) and track and field athlete Jesse Owens (who won four gold medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin) earned fame during this era.
  •   In baseball, a color line instituted in the 1880s had informally barred blacks from playing in the major leagues, leading to the development of the Negro Leagues, which featured many fine players. 
  •  A major breakthrough occurred in 1947, when Jackie Robinson was hired as the first African American to play in Major League Baseball; he permanently broke the color bar.
  • Baseball teams continued to integrate in the following years, leading to the full participation of black baseball players in the Major Leagues in the 1960s.
