The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Jim Crow and mass incarceration have similar political origins. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z The superlative nature of individual black achievement today in formerly white domains is a good indicator that the old Jim Crow is dead, but it does not necessarily mean the end of racial caste. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Chapter 6 reflects on what acknowledging the presence of the New Jim Crow means for the future of civil rights advocacy. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Today a criminal freed from prison has scarcely more rights, and arguably less respect, than a freed slave or a black person living “free” in Mississippi at the height of Jim Crow. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Yet another notable difference between Jim Crow and mass incarceration is that many African Americans seem to support the current system of control, while most believe the same could not be said of Jim Crow. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Together, the whole system of racial segregation was known as “Jim Crow.” Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice 2009-01-20T00:00:00Z In America, the history of racism is taught like this: “There was slavery and then there was Jim Crow and then there was Martin Luther King Jr. and now it’s done.” Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood 2016-11-15T00:00:00Z Some whites were directly harmed by Jim Crow.

The Help 2009-02-10T00:00:00Z The politics of respectability made sense to many black reformers during the Jim Crow era, since African Americans had no vote, could not change policy, and lived under the constant threat of the Klan. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Seasoned activists may respond that all of this is “just politics,” but, as we have seen in earlier chapters, they are the same politics that gave rise to the New Jim Crow.

The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z As we know, Jim Crow laws mandated residential segregation, and blacks were relegated to the worst parts of town. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z As noted earlier, many whites during the Jim Crow era sincerely believed that African Americans were inferior, and that segregation was a sensible system for managing a society comprised of fundamentally different and unequal people. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z It was a solid punch to Jim Crow, one that produced powerful shock waves throughout the South. Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice 2009-01-20T00:00:00Z A civil war had to be waged to end slavery; a mass movement was necessary to bring a formal end to Jim Crow. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Indeed, if Barack Obama had been elected president back then, I would have argued that his election marked the nation’s triumph over racial caste—the final nail in the coffin of Jim Crow. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Managing the multitudes in such a limited space would have been difficult under the best of circumstances, but the convoluted Jim Crow transportation laws turned the commute into a gauntlet for all riders.

The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z Brown did not end Jim Crow; a mass movement had to emerge first—one that aimed to create a new public consensus opposed to the evils of Jim Crow. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z There is much less certainty regarding the beginning of the end of Jim Crow.

The Voice That Challenged a Nation: Marian Anderson and the Struggle for Equal Rights 2004-05-25T00:00:00Z Likewise, the notion that the New Jim Crow can ever be dismantled through traditional litigation and policy-reform strategies that are wholly disconnected from a major social movement seems fundamentally misguided. The New Jim Crow 2010-01-05T00:00:00Z To the contrary, these attitudes and arguments have their roots in the struggles to end slavery and Jim Crow.
