Summary

"Introducing a new nonfiction series for the next generation of activists, uncovering the hidden history of the United States through an anti-racist lens. The true story of the discriminatory laws and ideas that affected African American life for generations. In the late nineteenth century, white lawmakers in the United States created a set of policies, collectively called "Jim Crow," that created segregated facilities, like schools and parks, for African Americans in the South. But Jim Crow-type policies didn't just affect the South. These policies have had far-reaching effects across America, impacting where Black people live, how they're treated by the criminal justice system, and how they're portrayed in TV and film"--provided by publisher
