This is why Jim Crow laws were created, to keep segregation. It matters because, this backed up the process of getting full rights and equality for African Americans and they continued to promote oppression. ]]> 2017-02-16 15:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154333107 843938 https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154333507 Segregation

For an example they had separate schools, bathrooms, churches, etc... There were also laws that tried to prevent the African Americans from voting, which included poll taxes(a fee to vote), and reading tests. Many of these laws were enforced until the civil rights act of 1964.  The name Jim Crow comes from a character in a song from 1832, "Jim Crow" is supposed represent the African Americans in the Jim Crow laws.  These laws were supposed to represent "separate but equal"(anyways it still wasn't very equal). ]]> 2017-02-16 22:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154483524 784988 https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154484881 Jim Crow laws relate to today because there are still laws being passed that may restrict minority groups from having the same equal rights. For example voter ID laws can make it more difficult for minority and disenfranchised people to vote in elections. People are still oppressed today, as the US gets more diverse.]]> 2017-02-16 22:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154484881 843938 https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154510304 A law formed to where blacks and whites couldn't ride the same trains.]]> 2017-02-17 03:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154510304 843938 https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154511148 A case challenging the law where blacks and whites are separated but equal.]]> 2017-02-17 03:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/843938/oklesgip3ll3/wish/154511148
