Disenfranchisement and Jim Crow Laws

This study guide covers the Jim Crow era, focusing on segregation, disenfranchisement (literacy tests, poll taxes, grandfather clauses), and key legal cases like Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education. It also examines African American resistance, including the work of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, the role of the Black press, and strategies like boycotts. The guide uses The Red Record and images of segregated facilities as primary sources and provides practice questions and exam tips.
