They could not participate in political life—not as voters and certainly not as politicians or legislators. They could not attend the same schools, serve in the same military brigades, work in the same factories, sit on the same buses, or drink from the same water fountains as their white counterparts. And their migration out of the Jim Crow South and into Northern cities was met with rampant economic discrimination and extreme violence.Although the institution of slavery had been destroyed, its logic remained a powerful force in American life. While white supremacy continued unabated, politics, the economy, and society reflected this idealogy for decades to come.In African American History: From Emancipation through Jim Crow, investigate the complex period between slavery and lunch counter sit-ins.
