Jim Crow

The Jim Crow Laws was used against black people for segregation. Back then, black people were miss treated. The Jim Crow Laws ended in 1965. This all ended due to the civil rights movement. Many people wanted equal rights. And many people were killed.
If you were black, some people wanted you to be lynched. They would hang you on trees. People would hang you and take it as a joke. If you do research, you can find images of people smiling while another person is being lynched.
During the Jim Crow Laws, people would attack and mistreat women. They would get attacked then arrested. You would be lucky if they let you live. They would use the "n" word, (n******), to put you through shame. Blacks where not treated like human beings. Life wasn't fair.
Soon, in the mid 1960's, it was all over. There was no more of this Jim Crow Laws. The Civil Rights movement took place. People like Malcom X, Martin Luther King Jr., Shirley Chisholm, and many more, took a stand. There is no more segregation but it's something that no one would forget.

Merry-Go-Round (Colored Child at Carnival)

By: Langston Hughes

Where is the Jim Crow section

On this merry-go-round,
Mister, cuase I want to ride?
Down South where I come from
White and colored
Can't sit side by side.
Down South on the train
There's a Jim Crow car.
On the bus we're put in the back--
But there ain't no back
To a merry-go-round!
Where's the horse
For a kid that's black?
