the Jim Crow world was disciminate
What I have learned from the Jim Crow world was disciminate, and gruesome events that happen to the African-Ameericans. First of all, the Surpeme Court ruled separate facilities for blacks and whites, such as use separate entrances to grain access to theaters, drink only from water fountains marked “colored”, and use restrooms reserved for their race only. Blacks were also prohibited from using public libraries, swimming pools ans beaches, and many other facilities operated with tax dollars.Therefore because of this many blacks responded to the reign of Jim Crow (sergregation) in numerous ways, and some embraced accommodationist position of Booker T. Washington, who encouraged blacks to become carpenters, plumbers, and brick masons, thereby proving to whites their essential values to society. However, a small handful of black Mississippians joined the N.A.A.C.P and embraced the philosophy of W.E.B. Du Bois, who argued the blacks should resist JIm Crow (laws) (pg. 190).
In addtion, one of the bell-boys was caught in the bed with a prostitute. He was castrated, and run out of town (pg. 207). The bell-boys have to look as these women as they were clothed and they were not! Therefore, whenever the bell-boys went into their room, you were supposed to take their nakedness for granted, honestly I believe that would be HARD! In so much, the bell-boys could not flicker an eyelids or much to show them attention. Another thing, the gruesome scene, two Negroes accused of murdering a white merchant, they were tortured with fire and lynched by a frenzied mob of nearly 500 persons near Duck Hill, and this happen while women and little children looked upon the gruesome scene. Lastly, I enjoyed the reading by Harris Dickson, 1937 the book he written, The Story of King Cotton (1937) that was composed from veres as a collection of the street corner chatter heard in Jim Crow Vicksburg. Furthermore, the gruesome scene how the torch flames were turned on the Negroes’ bared breasts, and they were commanded to “tell all you know”, and how hundreds of lynchings were reported in Mississippi during the early 20th century, so sad. No I will not use this material for my paper.
Secondly, The suffrage is the right of women to vote and stand for electoral office. Giving the U.S. women suffragists for the right to vote, however, the suffrage (right to vote) only for some. The women of all color (race), the poor, and the African-American were not accepted to vote only for years. For example, one “black Republicans” wrote this statement, ” White resentment of the Mississippi Constitution of 1868, the first to recognize black citizenship and grant ex-slaves the right to vote, therefore the white Mississippians believed that to discount the influence of blacks at the polis women should be allowed to vote. They hoped tht white would turn out in larger members than black’s women and thus help cancel the impact of voters.
Closing, the Mississippians making fun of J.A.P. Campbell’s scheme of assigning multiple votes to individuals based on the amount of property they owned, and other Mississippians offered equally factious plans: have allowed citizens who had fathered no illegitimate children to have multiple votes; another awarded the citizens who dogs more votes than the owner of multiple dogs, every man who weighs 200 has 2 votes & if his wife weighs 200 he is entitled to cast her votes, and Irvin Miller, 1890 his August 1890 letters to the Carthage Carthaginian reveal, among other things, the interest of some delegates in extending to women the right to vote (pg. 179). In 1886, Annie C. Peyton a temperance activist reflected the opinion of a sizeable number of Mississippians: they did not support the extension of suffrage rights to women because they feared that the franchise might undemine the place assigned them by society as saintly keepers of hearth and home. Another reason why, the law of the land, 1890 the Constitution of 1890 included restrictions on the right to vote, and on page 182 of Bond book it was stated, “What this country needs is NOT STATESWOME Also the reading inform strongly about the biblical scripture in the new testament about women. Last, it was said, “God Almighty placed his fiat against woman suffrage when he made women to be mothers. Most importantly, extended political campaigns by women and their supports have generally been necessary at gain legislation or constitutional amendments for women’s suffrage. In many countries, limited suffrage for women was granted before universal suffrage for men, for instance literate women were granted suffrage before ALL MEN received it. No I will not use this material.
