SUMMARY:"The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow: Promises Betrayed (1865 - 1896)"
DESCRIPTION:
 Part of 2013 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative 
 Celebration "The Road to Social Justice 
 Begins with One Step"\n
 \n
 How did Jim Crow 
 begin? As Reconstruction ended, African Americans' 
 efforts to assert their constitutional 
 rights began to be repressed at every turn, betraying 
 the promises of Emancipation. Southern 
 whites were emboldened by the North's withdrawal 
 of support for Black access to land, civil 
 and economic rights, and due process in 
 law and politics. Whites passed laws that segregated, 
 divested and disfranchised African-Americans 
 -- laws that were enforced with violence 
 and terror. (http://newsreel.org/video/the-rise-and-fall-OF-jim-crow)\n
