Focuses on the Jim Crow South, exploring the systemic oppression faced by African Americans from the 1890s through the 1950s. The material identifies three core pillars that upheld this system: legal segregation, which was affirmed by the Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896; disenfranchisement, achieved through measures like poll taxes and literacy tests; and terror and lynching, which was used to enforce Jim Crow laws and maintain white supremacy. The slides include a sample literacy test, information on the legal definition of "blackness," and a quote from a South Carolina Senator regarding the elimination of the African American vote, collectively detailing the comprehensive mechanisms of racial subjugation and the resulting Solid South political landscape.
