Site Two Title: The Origin of Jim Crow

 * Timeline: ** 1883- 1914
 * Any facts that you find important: ** "In 1883 the supreme court declared the civil rights act of 1875 unconstitutional." The state couldn't discriminate against people because of race and it was illegal, but it did not prevent private organizations from doing the same. By 1914 every southern state had laws that kept races separated.
 * Personal reactions of group members: ** We thought it was ridiculous because of the lengths these people would go to just to make everyone separated, they were all innocent, they hadn't done anything.

Colored waiting room, a bus, and that there are white people in the train. 2. b.) This photograph was taken by Jack Delano in may of 1940. This picture clearly shows that blacks and white were separated, with different waiting rooms, and different trains.
