athletes in the age of jim crow. thanks for joining us on american history tv. >> yes, thanks for having me. >> let me begin with your book, expected to be published in about a year. what have you learned so far? >> oh, so many things. i started the project asking, is there a long history of black women in sports? and i found more than i expected to find, quite frankly. there wasn't any archived labeled, this is the history of black women in sports, so i kind of had to piece it together. i got started by finding three women who played baseball in the negro leagues. they played with the men. one of the things that stuck out to me about that story was that the owner, who had brought these black women to play against the men, said he had something called the gal file, where women across the country and young girls too were were i go in to request tryouts. that stuck in my head. i thought, hmm, if there's a lot of black girls and women in the mid century trying to play baseball maybe there's a longer history here. that's

host: and what was the age of jim crow? can you explain for those who are not familiar? guest: the age of jim crow refers to a period of time where segregation being the law of the land. pastically, it stretches brown versus the board of education when it is ruled that segregation is inherently unconstitutional. the way i use it and i am referring to an fall into line with many historians, who are looking at roughly the end of mid-20th up into the century as a time where you have segregated institutions, you have a constitutionally upheld, and you have state-sanctioned violence and vigilante violence that threatens anybody who seeks to circumvent that other line and avoid the hard and of jim crow, which say why to drinking fountains or colored drinking fountains, or you have to ride in the back of the bus. when i am talking about jim crow, i am talking about a time of intense state approved segregation that was held in place by white violence. that threatened the livelihood of black americans certainly, but anybody who dared to trouble this color line. host: i am curious

pennsylvania and is working on a book about the lives and labors of women athletes in the age of jim crow. thanks for joining us on american history tv. >> thanks for having me. >> let me begin with your book, expected to be published in about a year. what have you learned so far? >> so many things. i started the project asking, is there a long history of black women in sports? i found more than i expected to find. there wasn't any archive labeled history of black women in sports. by the time i pieced it together, i would say i got started by finding three women who played baseball in the negro leagues in the 1950's. it was a remarkable story. they played with the man. one things that stuck out about that story was that the owner who had brought in these black women to play against the men said he had something called the gal file, where women and young girls were writing in to request tryouts. that stuck in my head as a young graduate student and i thought, if there were a lot of black women and girls in the mid century trying to trying to play baseball, they be there is a longer, head a

it was a time of jim crow. where we had state sanctioned violence and rampant segregation across the country and really blackball players had no other choice. the negro leagues like negro colleges and black businesses, black wall street, banks, schools, everything born out of segregation was born out of necessity and a community who said, we'll provide for ourselves. since we're locked out of your leagues. and the negro leagues were major source of community development, a source of -- i already talked about the business development side but just for the community, the games became a place to congregate to show off your finest furs, if you had that, to see role models at play, to cheer for teams coming in to barnstorm in that area and it was really a source of entertainment and pride and which was -- which resulted in a lot of the animosity shown towards the women who integrated the league gender integrated it, tony stone, connie morgan and mimi johnson because people understand the negro leagues to be one of t

>> the age of jim crow refers to a time with segregation being the law of the land. pastically, it stretches brown versus the board of education when it is ruled that segregation is unconstitutional. the way i use it and i am referring to and fall in line with historians who are looking and intod of the 1900s the mid-20th century -- the 1800s and into the mid-20th century were you have a constitutionally upheld and you have state sanctioned violence and vigilante violence. anybody who seeks to circumvent thecolor line and avoid hardened ideas of jim crow which say, white drinking fountain and colored drinking fountain and you cannot ride in the front of the bus. i'm talking about a time of intense state approved segregation that was held in place by white violence that threatened the livelihood of black americans but anybody who dared to trouble the color line. >> as somebody who is working on a book, what kind of primary sources are out there? what are you researching and where? said, a lot of the early histories i found were stumbling upon women's names in the file

and here is a jim crow bus. in the first half of the 20th century, behavior and etiquette for african-americans was proscribed by geography and custom. if you were from a particular place, you knew what the rules were. rules changed from place to place throughout the united states. each state had its own rules. each community had its own expected etiquette. emmett till didn't know the rules of racial etiquette, for example. particular driving etiquette was also expected. african-americans faced segregation in moat most aspects -- in most aspects of public travel and accommodation in the south where it was overt. but in the north, it was dictate by custom. so was the fact of segregation of buses, taxis, trains, hotels, restaurants, beaches and just about any place that people gathered. and this is a jim crow railroad car. insulting, humiliating, filthy as well as feint on timetables -- dependent on timetables. although they were only supposed to run in the south, many of them ran in the north as well. and african

because that visual image was absolutely essential for movement to be able to see the violence of jim crow but that did not mean to this moment was over and bobby kennedy knew it and jack kennedy know it subject kennedy is giving his state of the union address and president kennedy is all we are fighting for democracy and freedom and there is an opportunity for what is happening here on the globe because we have all of these people this is the middle of the colonization africans asians arab latinos those nations are becoming free. imperial bonds are loosening and he sees this as an incredible moment for freedom in the global self but he didn't mention the american south. in this freedom struggle the kind of silence there but he needed that silence because what he was dealing with it just come back from that vienna summit remember the one that his brother was really trying to get the freedom riders for well that summit didn't go so well. he met with christian and christian took him to school i mean who this was not pretty it really wasn't pretty and it was kennedy's fault he acknowledged th

black folks struggling to be free and refusing to be quiet about jim crow and the brutality of jim crow. so bobby has got to figure out something. what bobby figures out is i got to find a way to find the sweet spot. that thing that allows my brother to be presidential, for america to be calm, to resonate that aura of strength, democracy and freedom while also providing something to the civil rights folks so that they feel that they are being heard and their needs are being met. what on earth could there be? what could i do -- offer them that is so vital and essential but boring, really boring, so that no cameras will want to be there. that nothing is going to jump off. and you know what he came up with? registering black folks to vote in mississippi. okay. so let's talk about that. so this is where you know you've got this kind of disjuncture because policymakers and what they think is happening and what is really going on on the ground. because if you had really spent a minute thinking through it, you're saying, wait a minute, if i'm seeing folks getting burned up because they're tryi

the ability to avoid the indignity of jim crow bus and railroad car. here is a jim crow bus. in the first half of the 20th century, behavior and advocate for african-americans was prescribed by geography and by custom. if you were from a particular case, you knew what the rules work. rules changed from place to place across the united states. each state had its own rules. each community had its own expected etiquette. it still didn't know the rules for etiquette. particular driving etiquette was also expected. african-americans faced segregation in most public travel and accommodation in the south. in the north, it was dictated by customs. buses, trains, hotels, restaurants, beaches and just about any place people gathered. this is a jim crow railroad car. insulting, emulating as well as dependent on them. although they were only supposed to run in the south, many of them ran in the north as well, african-americans, even if you purchased first class tickets. they were expected to go into the jim crow car. you can see the word colored on the backseat. the automobile african am

racial limitations, jim crow, segregation in the north. poverty come as we have talked about. 1/5 of americans lived in poverty. gender limitations. this is one we will lean into today. women did not have the same opportunities as men for employment and social advancement. their unique disadvantages that women faced but also conformity, boredom. the 1960's were characterized with a incredible sense of optimism and hope. the sense of optimism is incredible. people from all walks of life, even the most disadvantaged people, for black southerners who had never had voting rights, are so hopeful because of america's place in the world and the rhetoric of its leaders. some of the famous lines from the 1960's were dripping in this sense of hope. john f. kennedy, washington, dc, i do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. the energy, the faith and devotion will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can light the world. the expansiveness of that optimism. martin l

and crows slide down, no covered cars and roofs. just for the fun of it. there are cows that they keep in australia, keep them in sheds in the winter and have been in the shed for months and they know, now we get to go out. so first they come out cautiously and then the think, we're out. and you see them -- these massive cows just leaping about, with pure joy. and no one can believe that a bull -- and i run a bull sanctuary. what kind of idiot runs a bull sanctuary. i run a bull sanctuary in india but a bull who weighs late rally a ton, would like to play with a tire, just like a dog. chickens jump for low, hanging apples. takes them while. she wants that apple. not giving up here. up she goes. rats giggle when they're tickled and we all know that dogs love to jump for joy. simpling pleasures. animals dedeprived of simple pressure. in animal kind we take people back to a time when using animals as tools of convenience, no matter the risk to their limb and their lives was considered quite normal. pigeons idea as mention messengers an

olympic champions being welcomed. >> jesse owens you write "returned home to the oppression of jim crow working at basically menial jobs like racing horses and pumping gas". >> it was a sideshow. it was a really tragic outcome for somebody who had essentially was regarded as defeating hitler. and really embarrassing hitler and the games in germany. >> who was robert abbott? >> he was a great newspaper editor. the chicago defender was the most important publication in america for black americans for a time and really during a period when chicago when there was a migration chicago and really nationally being kind of a beacon for truth and leading the way. robert abbott definitely deserved. we are journalists so we have to have journalist representation. >> what was the importance of the defender? and is the importance? >> i think black newspapers at the time were really african-americans weren't working at the white papers. this is where we got our news. there was like the amsterdam news and of course the afro-american and other papers around the country were black papers they were out co

book, the title, can't eat a medal, the lives and labor of black women athletes in the age of jim crowning us on american history tv. >> yes, thanks for having me. >> let me begin with your book, expected to be published in about a year. what have you learned so far? >> oh, so many things. i started the project asking, is there a long history of black women in sports? and i found more than i expected to find, quite frankly. there wasn't any archived labeled, this is the history of black women in sports, so i kind of had to piece it together. i got started by finding three women who played baseball in the negro leagues. they played with the men. one of the things that stuck out to me about that story was that the owner, who had brought these black women to play against the men, said he had something called the gal file, where women across the country and young girls too were were i go in to request tryouts. that

hitler's europe who came back and were forced into, especially in the south, into this box of jim crow and segregation, and even, you know, threats of violence. but yet they managed to have other things to think about. i would have to say. where this wasn't the big deal. the bigger deal was, am i going to be able to get a job? am i, you know, going to be able to feed my family? am i going to be able to do other things? which i think is what happened. but something happened by 1953. can you speak to that? >> well, think about the other things that were on the table at that time. livin lynching. >> of course. >> actual violence. if you're prioritizing what you're fighting, what are you going to fight against first? lobby congress and really, really push against. it's going to be that kind of thing. also economic sustainability that you're talking about. >> right, exactly. >> sharecropping and so forth. and minstrel shows are like, okay, we don't like that either but we got bigger fish to fry. >> i think that's very true. i'm -- so i would say i'm getting -- >> clues. >> getting clues. ye

in fact my youngest daughter lives down the road here well as the crow flies it's less than a half mile from. here we don't worry about the point of being here. i live 70 miles from the vermont yankee nuclear power plant and what that means in terms of any sort of incident or accident that might happen. is that if it was a serious incident most likely i would no longer be able to live in my home the whole area would be contaminated if you look from fukushima. lose my home my community where i've been for the last 30 years of my life and i would have to relocate to some other place it would be a complete disaster. people shouldn't have to live with that sort of risk. that's not acceptable. i have a passion for justice. and there's always a lot of work to be done our area and that's the way i have lived my life i'm francis crowe. and i live in northampton massachusetts and navy 3 years. and i've been involved in trying to say no to this fighting of the adam and all of the consequences of it sense night in 45 when i heard about. the raid. i am a member of the shut it down at senate ticker

that's where jim crow came from. of course jim crow comes to stand for segregation. and the answer is that in most of the united states, at some point there are some elements of segregation so that some places it's done by law, some places it's done by custom. i for once was doing research on the history of civil rights in detroit and i came across a manual published by the real state brokers of michigan, explaining how you steer people to the right neighborhood for them. and by the way, it wasn't merely black and white so there was a whole section on where you send jews so they won't live in neighborhoods where white christians don't want them and then there were discussions about how if you have a black client, you need to steer them to the right neighborhood where they belong. and so this was not legal and it was not of statute, it was simply a institution created by an entire profession. he had that across the board. on the other land, we were talking before about the first school desegregation case to win takes place in iowa in 1868 when an african-american man

it continued -- jim crow continued to the 1940's up until the 1950's, when it finally started to get eroded. the minstrel show -- part of the show wasof the mental the rollback of jim crow. >> we will conclude with two last questions. >> thank you for the material, it was informative. i wish i were as optimistic as this gentleman here in terms of society seeing the things that we need to be seeing around racism. this gentleman up here who cited the and word being used because for me, i think about people watching these shows, and i see a show on television such as the jet propulsion lab and those jobs are white, i find that highly offensive. i want to ask you questions about the film. monday night on pbs, they had a film, the moneys that go to emergency preparedness. ,hey talked about in chicago the 1995 heat deaths and how those deaths were in the black community, poor black community of chicago. that it showed chicago in those areas in the 1930's and now that area has been flattened because of redlining. i wanted to ask, when it showed the performance that was popular , they were a

you got terrorism at your center called jim crow and jane crow. of course in our textbooks they call it segregation. that is a deodorized term. we are talking american terrorism where every two days it was a precious black man or black woman or black child hanging from a tree, the strange fruit, the southern trees bear that the great great billie holiday singing with such power and the jewish brothers writing the lyrics. it was ida b. wells who led that serious struggle, she organized black women and a black women's club. we need to know much more, the classic pursuit, crusader for justice. we need to know how she was able to sustain -- of course she is a sunday school teacher in chicago. she still led the club music from chicago, but was also mistreated as was the case with every individual in this text. for many black people themselves, why? because when you are on fire in that way, when you have been niggerized in america, taught to hate yourself, believe you have the wrong hands and lips and noses and hair texture, believe you are less beautif

joel crowe sees time to strengthen the hand of the executive we're seeing a tremendous increase right now in the federal government power in the united states so there is a need there's even some talk of you know about martial law curfews i think it's terrifying i think it's really disturbing and it's you know there are some constitutional scholars out there that debate whether how constitutional is i think it's it's shocking how easily americans will give up their liberty but that said the u.s. is a democracy in china is an authoritarian country but in general in terms of the continuum between democracy limited government and the porch areas of u.s. government is moving more and interaction of china while still trying to maintain some overtime a kind of norms i think that max is absolutely correct that we're seeing just how swiftly the state can expand out how it can come in and become more authoritarian and you know in new york city right now it's a ghost town here and it and you know the mayor wants to quarantine the entire city the governor won't let him know where's the where's t

to be aeved wilson scholar of fairness who would not seek further means of jim crow insult. like theblack leaders new jersey machine before them, soon understood wilson's promises would either not be kept or would be interpreted in a way substantially different than what they thought. to these figures, wilson's new freedom agenda felt much like an older agenda keeping blacks in their social and political place. in retrospect, the indication that wilson would not make new reforms for african-americans was there all along. his promise to the bishop was a case in point. when wilson said my wishes to see justice done in every matter and not merely grudging justice, it became evidence that wilson was true to his word. he spoke of fairness and a sympathy that emerge from familiarity, but fairness on whose grounds, and what was the nature of his racial familiarity. answers to these questions are found in wilson's background. the administration he formed as president, and a broad view dissensions between the races he had already expressed at princeton. wilson was the first southerne

sources suggest this implementation of jim crow came specifically at her request, at her behest. regardless of the policies, black women who used the dining hall for years found the lunch table now opened out into commodes. hundreds of black women were forced to eat in a chorus of flushing toilets and a dining room that now only accommodated 40. if a loss of opportunities and changes to the physical plant were not enough, the commitment to segregate the workforce involved acts of cultural pettiness. in the apartment of treasury, which had the letter summer a black civil servants, the secretary already order the separation of the races when he took things a step further. he ordered the black employees to not be considered for promotions, and required new forms of address for some department workers. letters going forward to black workers were not to receive the standard address of sir or madam, nor to be signed, respectfully yours. williamses determination to making change in the department of treasury, changing the way people worked, layout of the floor, the way people were addre

the privilege is jim crow. walters sees that at times, black elites at least were not ready to robustly criticize and mobilize against that privilege. once they became ensconced in the democratic party and in leadership and economic privilege themselves, they were milquetoast at times in trying to push back against the levels of privilege and the levels of racial animus that marked policy in the 1980's and 1990's. in this context i'm talking about black elected officials who voted for reagan drug laws and crime reform, black elected officials, anybody who voted for the clinton crime bill are welfare reform. these are things that will negatively impact, but at this point these folks are no longer accountable to the black electorate. so walters is a trailblazer. he doesn't have a prescription on how to win, but he is saying, here are the problems. sometimes really illustrating what the problems are becomes a huge intervention. it becomes up to another generation to try to answer those questions, but that is what

of race and civil rights that the parties agreed for a number of decades to essentially push to jim crow and racial segregation aside in order to have these harmonious bipartisan potentia potential, because once civil rights was introduced for a lot of white americans the stakes were extremely high. >> exactly right. a lot of folks with nostalgia and the bipartisan consensus of the fifties and early sixties but of course that was based on exclusion of civil rates from the jim crow south. this is why politics fundamentally are about conflict we just have to figure out how to have these discussions in a way that's not so binary with a zero sum and the civil rights act with the realignment of america along cultural and social identity that is a combination. from the mid- fifties through the late eighties was the for parties system alongside liberal democrats and republicans. and although that system was in perfect in retrospect it worked pretty well to have different coalitions and the legislation passed with overwhelming support and congress had committees with well needed resources and fo
