Site Two Title
Timeline: Any facts that you find important: The tradition began in February 1843 when a group of four white men from Virginia, who called themselves, the "Virginia Minstrels," smeared black cork on their faces and then put on a song-and-dance act in a small hall in New York City. Their performance was such a hit that the group was invited to tour to other cities. In 1883, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional. The Court also ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment kept state governments from discriminating against people because of race but did not keep private organizations or individuals from doing so. This allowed railroads, hotels, theaters, and other businesses to legally practice segregation. Beginning in 1915, the Supreme Court began to intervene and Jim Crow laws were challenged. One of the most important court decisions occurred in 1954 when the Supreme Court ruled in a case called Brown v. Board of Education that segregated public schools were unconstitutional.

Personal reactions of group members: we were astounded that such laws were in place at that time and glad that they were starting to be challenged.
