Just because slavery was illegal doesn't mean it went away ... Jim Crow Laws took its place. An eye-opening activity focuses on how Jim Crow Laws were used as a form of racial social control against African Americans in the United States. Academics learn key concepts, read experts from texts, and participate in discussions. The resource explains the impact of the Jim Crow Laws and provides learners with an opportunity to share their opinions with their peers.
