and that's what they refer to as the jim crowe south and some of the jim crowe laws. you look at them as a 66-year-old white male now, i'm going i can't believe that we have did this, you know, to another race. that boggles my mind, actually. do you feel that way? >> right. and the back gets into the etiquette and it's so strange. they had these rules and the rules pretty well had to be ways to get around them. that's where a lot of humor comes in the book. they weren't allowed to use the toilet a lot of times in the homes. so their stories of how they would sneak when they were out or somebody had to come take them away and we have stories from white people as well from mississippi as well as black people. and they can confirm the stories and some things they said that they heard are even worse. when asked one woman, well, where did they go to the bathroom and she said, they lived along the levee and she said they just went out to the levee and went in the bushes. you know, it's unbelievable. my mother told about her grandmother who was my great grandmother, when she

jim crow, segregation. and an intense lynching campaign unleashed on african-americans in the south, in the midwest, in the far west and other parts of the united states of america. so we went from chattel slavery, brief period of reconstruction, then you give us jim crow. so we dealt with jim crow, which was at least in principle abolished on paper when the supreme court makes the decision in brown v. board of education that separate but equal was a farce, it was a joke. it wasn't real. the supreme court exposes that, but then says, go ahead and implement it with all deliberate speed. basically meant, don't really implement it with any urgency, impactful y, any fashion. just take your time and do it at your own pace. so as we try to deal with jim crow, then you have of course dr. king and leads of the civil rights movement, john lewis who congresswoman beatty and i are so privileged to serve with. philip randolph, roy wilkins, james farmer. so many others. and the civil rights movement deals with the linge

it was movement that was not just focused on ending jim crow on the south. it was a movement that went back to this effort during the second world war two when equal access to jobs and really retained that effort to try to build a national movement that could and racial inequality. in 1963 bartlett the king was very well-known as a speak or, as the leader of this and in some ways a part of the movement when a. philip randolph went to reorganize this march that he had called off in 1941 everybody said you had better get martin luther king supporter. martin luther king said well i will support you but let's expand the march. the march is not just about winning equal access to jobs fighting employment discrimination. it's also about winning the right to vote in the south which a. philip randolph lived in europe sitting together right to vote. but for somebody living in montgomery who were living in atlanta this was the primary goal to end the segregation at lunch counters. i think the thing we popularly associated with the civil rights movement more broadly. th

he said i am speaking to you from the jail in the jim crow south. so he was actually the last speaker, i believe before king, came to the podium. shl >> we are missing eight and nine. who followed floyd mckissic reading farmer's speech some >> whitany young was the executive director of the national urban league. the national urban league was an african-american organization, in some ways a civil rights organization, but a civil service organization in some ways, too. they emphasized providing services for the poor, pushing for federal policies that were going to help the poor. they were actually pioneering at the time what was known as a martial plan for the negro. this was based on the european countries given to the federal government after the second world war war. this was massive funding for infrastructure, schools and hospitals. whitany young said if the federal government can put this support into helping poor people in france then certainly the federal government can put this support to helping poor people in the united states. and he said

she was incensed about the institution of jim crow law. she was infuriated when she saw african-americans had no protection against violence. she is best known for her anti-lynching campaign. we will spend some time looking at what she had to say in southern horrors. lynching was bad in the 1890's. in 1892 there were 241 lynchings across 26 states. we talked a little bit about how some of those lynchings included native americans, asians, chicanos, mexican americans and whites, but the bulk were african-americans. lynching becomes more of a southern distinctive phenomenon that involves black men as victims. ida b wells became an advocate, anti-lynching advocate known for penning a couple of pamphlets. she wrote lynch law in georgia. she was writing columns in her newspapers. i have to tell you, at least early on, her understanding of lynching might strike you as conventional. there was an event that caused her to shift her mind in terms of what she thought about why lynching was happening, and the way the south was explaining this. early o

ring: in the past few lectures we have been looking at the jim crow justice system. we have talked about convict leasing. last wednesday, we looked at the practices and patterns of lynching. we talked about how white southerners, politicians are using gendered rhetoric. we talked about the white demagogues and how sexuality and race were used to create support. -- political support among white men. we talked extensively about the myth of the black rapist. and how that evolved around the idea that white women were passive and virtuous, outside of the male-dominated political sphere, the suppose it rate of white women. rape of white women. we sat through all of birth of a nation. that includes the classic trope. we looked at the mythology of reconstruction. there is the scene where the white daughter of the southern family is stocked by gus, the black criminal. she throws herself off the cliffs rather than be raped. in that particular movie, we were looking at an example of that trope. today what i would like to talk about is the way in which women themselves participa

in the deepest recesses of the jim crow baltimore was segregated, washington dc was segregated. but they were not segregated in the same way that rural north carolina was segregated at that time. of course thurgood marshall was no stranger to segregation and the ravages of segregation on a young schoolboy, but he was abosolutely shocked at what they found. these buildings even mocked the very notion of being schools, ofbeing places of education for young children. man's voice: is your school a wooden structure? boy's voice: yes it's wood man: is any part of it brick or stone? boy: no sir man: do you have an auditorium? boy: no sir man: do you have indoor drinking fountains? boy: no sir man: what do you use? boy: water pumps and water buckets man: is there a desk for each child? boy: no sir man: do you have teachers for every grade? boy: no sir man: do you have indoor toilets? boy: no sir rawn james: an astounding act of courage. houston and marshal traveled down throughthe south. and these are the days before the eisenhower interstate system. so they went in between what i would

ended, and the building blocks put in place for jim crow. for her coming of age during reconstruction, intending the friedman school, seeing her father actively involved in politics, she had a sense of the possibility for african-americans. this greatly influenced her. she began her career as a teacher and ended up in memphis, which at the time was 40 miles from holly springs where she grew up. she wrote a weekly column under a pen name. as a journalist, she was very blunt. she did not mince words. she was known for stating her case simply and directly. is inher remarkable thing 1889 she purchased one third of a business newspaper. she is the first black woman owner and editor of a black newspaper in the united states. later she became an editor for the memphis evening star. she became a leading community activist. you should know , when we b wells discuss how they begin to resist jim crow in the south, wells was one of these women that we see starting to protest segregated streetcars, to agitate against that. when she was 20 years old she g

again, he left out the calls for violence, we are going to burn jim crow to the ground. he didn't say that but he said we need to be in the streets, it in the street. we need to push for a civil rights bill that will really achieve equality. and he goes into this fantastic sort of set of examples of how this law as it's being introduced by president kennedy might affect various african-americans. and he, like a lot of snake leaders felt, it's th the pooret after americans were not affected by this that it wasn't worth pushing for, this had to affect everyone -- sncc. e-border for example, to a made to earn $5 a week in a house with a total income of household was $100,000 to you. and he said we need a bill that will achieve equality for a made like the. he said we need a bill that will achieve equality for the unemployed and for the homeless. he sort of called for a tremendously strengthened civil rights bill, some of which were things were in the official demands of the march. so the march actually called for a federal policy that would end unemployment, that would prov

this concept was basically thought of the ideological justification of the jim crow south, that afterhe right to vote was taken away from blacks in the south around 1900, the argument was you give them the right to vote act, you will have powers of reconstruction again. birth of a nation chose this vividly, with blacks running amok and raping and the legislature of south carolina is sitting there with their feet up, throwing chicken bones. they are not prepared to take part in american democracy. we know that's a complete travesty of the history. what did they do? they faced enormous obstacles. the south had been devastated by the civil war, they needed economic rebuilding, they were trying to deal with the transition that needed to be a new labor system put in place in the south, they were demands among african americans for civil rights laws and equal access to public accommodations and transportation, they set up the first school systems in southern history. these governments created -- for both black and white children, the first public school systems. in the north you had general

struggle of their people, maybe that would give them a clue to wake up because now we don't need jim crowe. we don't need the ku klux klan because we're killing each other now. if i could say anything, you our young black youth to let them know that that's not the answer. >> we've kind of warped the word respect, you know, with gun as not a way to gain respect. the mindset it is, it is but it's flat out not going to result in anything good in the end. >> no. no, it's not. >> so the waterloo community school district, i think, is trying to address this issue. do you feel they're doing a good job or -- >> i really do. i feel that under the leadership of dr. lenderman and the ideas and mission that she has, i think that we're headed in the right direction and, you know, i'm there to support her 100% for all children and truly, i know for myself, ron, that education can unlock the doors to the future. >> absolutely. i wish we had more time. wow. what an interesting topic. the book is called the maid narratives. we'll see you again next week. >>> hi, everyone. welcome to "on the money." i'm sha

wilson and jim crow. we have to remember what woodrow wilson did almost immediately after he became president. he allowed his cabinet to put in jim crow regulations. henceforth people who were advancing, black men who were advancing in the civil service were stopped. he made no appointment that had to get through the congress of blacks. he was in many ways one of the worst presidents for washington, d.c. in fact i have to say he was the worst president for the city. of washington. which makes it very, very odd to me. he didn't like the city. he really disliked the city. he never mentioned the city so far as i could find in a state of the union address. everybody mentioned the city in the state of the union address. john adams in the first state of the union address in washington, which was really a message to congress, mentioned it. dwight eisenhower mentioned it. fdr mentioned it all the time. calvin coolidge mentioned it. not once woodrow wilson. which makes it very curious. he is buried in washington.

in the jim crow environment, african-americans continue to develop avenues for financial growth as witnessed by the development of black banking institutions following reconstruction. two of the early black-owned banks to operate in the united states were the capital savings bank of washington, dc, which began in 1888. that same year, william washington brown, an ex-slave, found the true reformer savings bank in richmond, virginia. there were many other successful banks that were owned by african-americans in the united states. one of the most successful of the early black-owned banks was the alabama penny loan and savings bank. others included mechanics and farmers in durham, north carolina, which is still in existence today. which is still in existence today. citizens and southern philadelphia, pennsylvania, the st. luke's penny savings bank of richmond, virginia, whose founder was madam cj walker, the first woman president in the united states.
