The Jim Crow Era

The Jim Crow era did more to create anti-black beliefs and feelings than slavery. Stereotypes created during the Jim Crow era are deeply embedded in the collective American consciousness and unfortunately have been internalized by many. This racial cultural conditioning of the American mind is the most destructive legacy of the Jim Crow era. In this lecture, we will examine Jim Crow laws and customs, especially those established in Florida; the ways in which stereotypes were reinforced and perpetuated; and most critically how they continue to influence race relations in the nation today. Instructor: Dr. Martha Bireda
