Jim+Crow+Life


 * 1) Right after the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was ratified. What did the 14th Amendment provide for African Americans? What does “due process” and “equal protection of the laws” mean?  It let all people be equal. Slaves were free. All people had to be read their rights and had to be treated the same way as other races are, **


 * 2) Unfortunately, your equal rights were challenged by the Supreme Court in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. What do you remember about the facts, decision, and impact of this case?  It means that people separate but equal. **


 * 3) The laws developed in the South became known as Jim Crow laws. Who was this Jim Crow fellow? Did he write the laws?  Jim the name of a fictional character in a play. He did not write the laws but was a prototypical black man. **

A black man cannot kiss a white woman. He can't go to school with white children. They cannot go into a restaurant through the front, they have to go in through the back.
 * 4) What are some specific examples of the Jim Crow laws from southern states? How did the laws affect you? **


 * 5) What did Jim Crow America look like in the 1900s? What are some images that can help explain the realities of the time? **


 * 6) What happened in the Scottsboro Case? How did it make you feel as an African American in the South? <span style="color: #001ee6; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;"> 9 boys were falsely convicted of rape of two white girls. They were given a all white jury and were all convicted to death except for a 12 year who was youngest. I think that it would make me scared to be around white people. **

Because it is inhumane to not. People get beat up for no reason at all. We atr all equal, we are a human.
