This is a document talking about a restricted real-estate convent. Usually in communities across the country, property owners signed agreements called restrictive covenants. These contracts barred African Americans and sometimes other groups. Including Jews, Asians, and Latinos from many neighborhoods. In this covenant from Arlington County, Virginia, in the 1940s, the purchasers agreed never to sell their house to “ Persons of any race other than the white Caucasian Race."

In this letter of recommendation to Mr. A. B. Kelly, General Manager from C. F. Boulden, Engineer on April 27th, 1946 is a request that Kelly install curtains and curtain rods in all Missouri Pacific diners operating in Texas. Also the dining car stewards and waiters in charge of the Negros must separate the blacks from the whites by drawing the curtains.

On this website it tells about Jim Crow Rules which excluded Blacks from public transportation and facilities, juries, jobs, and neighborhoods. The Blacks were unfortunately overruled in 1896 by the Supreme Court because the Constitutional protections of Blacks were defeated by the Plessy v. Ferguson case, which legitimized Jim Crow laws and the Jim Crow way of life.

This website shows the different segregation laws for the states; such as Florida's rule of education. It's rule was that the schools for white children and the schools for negro children had to be segregated.

This ballot is from the race for governor of Ohio in 1867. Allen Granbery Thurman’s campaign included the promise of barring black citizens from voting. He narrowly lost to future president Rutherford B. Hayes. Thurman was then appointed U.S. Senator for Ohio, where he worked to reverse many Reconstruction-era civil rights reforms.

The Jim Crow Laws were upheld because not every person agreed to them. Also when this law was passed many of the blacks could not read or right. So, they could not vote against the passing of the Jim Crow Laws.

In this article called The "Jim Crow" Street Car tells about two victims who were jailed because they did not know of the newly past Jim Crow Laws.

In 1890 a new Louisiana law required railroads to provide “equal but separate accommodations for the white, and colored, races.” Outraged, the black community in New Orleans decided to test the rule.
On June 7, 1892, Homer Plessy agreed to be arrested for refusing to move from a seat reserved for whites. Judge John H. Ferguson upheld the law, and the case of Plessy v. Ferguson slowly moved up to the Supreme Court. On May 18, 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court, with only one dissenting vote, ruled that segregation in America was constitutional.

For my quilt piece I represented the Jim Crow Laws. On the bottom of the quilt square the words, "separate but equal" are written. This is showing that although the transportation, eatery's, schools etc. were segregated they were equal; so said the Plessy v. Ferguson case. In the middle there is a tree with many crows to represent the Jim Crow Laws. Around the border are the Jim Crow song lyrics; this song was sang by Blacks. The connection to 2011 is the two crows leaving the tree, this means that without the movements such as Brown v. Board of Education there wouldn't be organizations such as NAACP. Above the tree are two signs, one says blacks, this sign is broken because the blacks got less tax money for the things they needed. The white sign is silver and fancy because they got the main amount of the tax money.
