Charles Hamilton Houston    USA    1895-1950

American lawyer.

He was the dean of Howard University Law School

and NAACP first special counsel.

A graduate of Amherst College and Harvard Law School,

Houston played a significant role in dismantling Jim Crow laws,

especially attacking segregation in schools

and racial housing covenants.

He earned the title "The Man Who Killed Jim Crow".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Charles_Hamilton_Houston

Laws of the Jim Crow era enforcing racial segregation

also limited the rights of Mexican-Americans in South Texas

(they are often referred to by scholars today

as “Juan Crow” laws).

Signs saying

“No Negroes, Mexicans or dogs allowed”

were common in restaurants and stores.

Law enforcement officers frequently intimidated

or abused Mexican-American residents,

and the schools they were sent to

were underfunded and often inadequate.

Speaking Spanish in public was discouraged.

What Was It Like to Travel While Black During Jim Crow?

What Was It Like to Travel While Black During Jim Crow?

Video        Op-Docs        NYT         1 February 2019

The Green Book was a critical guide for African-Americans

struggling to travel safely in the Jim Crow era.

This 360 degree video explores its complicated legacy.

This film offers a revealing view of the Green Book era

as told through Ben’s Chili Bowl,

a black-owned restaurant in Washington,

and reminds us that the humiliations

heaped upon African-Americans during that time period.

Sandra Butler-Truesdale,

born in the capital in the 1930s,

references an often-forgotten trauma

— and one of the conceptual underpinnings of the Jim Crow era —

when she recalls that Negroes who shopped in major stores

were not allowed to try on clothing before they bought it.

Store owners at the time

offered a variety of racist rationales,

including that Negroes were insufficiently clean.

At bottom, the practice reflected the irrational belief

that anything coming in contact with African-American skin

— including clothing, silverware or bed linens —

was contaminated by blackness,

rendering it unfit for use by whites.

Jim Crow laws

Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system

which operated primarily, but not exclusively

in southern and border states,

between 1877 and the mid-1960s.

Jim Crow was more than a series

of rigid anti-black laws.

It was a way of life.

Under Jim Crow,

African Americans were relegated to the status

of second class citizens.

Jim Crow represented

the legitimization of anti-black racism.

Many Christian ministers and theologians

taught that whites were the Chosen people,

blacks were cursed to be servants,

and God supported racial segregation.

Craniologists, eugenicists,

phrenologists, and Social Darwinists,

at every educational level,

buttressed the belief that blacks

were innately intellectually

and culturally inferior to whites.

Pro-segregation politicians

gave eloquent speeches

on the great danger of integration:

the mongrelization of the white race.

Newspaper and magazine writers

routinely referred to blacks

as niggers, coons, and darkies;

and worse, their articles reinforced

anti-black stereotypes.

Even children's games

portrayed blacks as inferior beings

(see "From Hostility to Reverence:

100 Years of African-American Imagery

in Games").

All major societal institutions

reflected and supported the oppression of blacks.
