Yesterday, we began to learn that Jim Crow was the name given to a series of ordinances, laws, rules, and racist practices that were enacted at the end of Reconstruction to terrorize and dehumanize African-Americans primarily, and also other people of color. Today, you will be given the chance to learn more about Jim Crow by watching another video of your choice; visiting the Jim Crow museum (if LAUSD computers permit); and reading about Jim Crow; reading about Jim Crow and doing a reflective journal about Jim Crow (and answering basic questions). You will also have the chance to explore how Jim Crow laws also impacted other racial groups, notably, Mexicans.
Here are a few resources for you to explore: Plessy v. Ferguson (Crash Course in American History) The Jim Crow Museum; The Rise & Fall of Jim Crow (25-30 min video) The History of Jim Crow (film, shorter 20 min. Robin Hamilton); Jim Crow Laws (Wikipedia) Jim Crow in Images (very powerful) Gordon Parks Segregation Story; the education of Black Children in the Segregated South. (Jim Crow Timeline Here is the forced copy of the Reflective Journal Click here for virtual tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=X9ou6MvycZU
Use padlet to document your exploration of at least four sources. In your Padlet, take a screen shot of each source that you visited. Then write a reaction of what you learned from that source. From the Jim Crow in Images and/or The Gordon Parks Segregation Story, select at least four powerful images that resonate with you. Then screenshot them, and then write two or three sentences about why they resonate with you.
