Who was Jim Crow?

The video discusses the Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, which ended racial segregation in public places. It traces the history of Jim Crow laws, named after a derogatory character created by Thomas Dartmouth in the 1830s, which enforced racial discrimination across the United States. The video highlights the impact of these laws, including the 'separate but equal' doctrine upheld by the Supreme Court. It also covers the efforts to dismantle these laws, starting with President Truman's military integration order in 1948, leading to the Supreme Court's ruling against school segregation, and culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
