Remembering Jim Crow

Sound Learning Feature for February 2004



For much of the 20th Century, African Americans in the South were barred from the voting booth, sent to the back of the bus, and walled off from many of the rights they deserved as American citizens. Until well into the 1960s, segregation was legal. The system was called Jim Crow. In the American RadioWorks documentary Remembering Jim Crow, Americans—black and white—remember life with Jim Crow.

The stories in this month's feature are of particular interest to teachers and students of English/Language Arts and history/social studies.
