I'm 65 years old and I'm still learning history!!!!

I was never taught about Jim Crow in high school or college. Knowledge is power.

I live in the south, born and raised so I knew what Jim Crow was/is. You did an excellent job explaining it. First time on this channel. Love it!!

As a Canadian, I assumed he was a politician that created this movement and created laws. Thanks for sharing this information.

All this time i thought jim crow was an actual person that did those terrible things. Turns out its a fiction character.

When will the world realize that there is only one race, Human.

Racism is not learned, it is TAUGHT! This is why silence is NOT an option. The easiest way evil succeeds, is when good people don’t stand up and call it out! Edmund Burke nailed it when he said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. AMEN, my Brother!

It seems so strange to me when this period is referred to as "history" because I LIVED it! It really hasn't been THAT long ago, folks. I grew up in a Southern city in the South during the waning days of "Jim Crow" racial segregation during the mid to late 1950s just before the Civil Rights movement began to become strong and popular with black people. I can still remember riding in the back of the city bus practicing my newly learned reading skills by trying to sound out: "Colored in the Back of the Bus". IF any white person got on a bus that happened to be crowded and there were no seats in the front for them, the driver forced a black passenger in the back of the bus to give their seat to that white person. Believe it or not! There are other indignities black people had to endure, but I won't describe them here because the reason for my making this comment is to make people realize "Jim Crow" was real and it's legal enforcement wasn't THAT long ago. There are MILLIONS of us black Americans who lived under it and remember it well. Take care, people, and may God bless you all.😁😁

I’m 62 years old. In school 🏫 in Williamsburg Brooklyn back in the 1960s never teacher didn’t talk about Jim Crow. Born in September 1958. Amen 🙏🏻.

Thank you. I'm an old senior and didn't remember where that term came from.

In my mind racism stems from ignorance. And it's down right scary how many ignorant people live among us.

Thanks for educating us on this despicable topic. Everyone needs to know the horrible truth about Jim Crow. That was a horrible time in our history,but it needs to be remembered. Generations to come need to be educated and understand about Jim Crow.

I first realized I was black in1962 while traveling by train from Ohio to rural Georgia to visit grandma. We stopped in Tennessee, disembarked for refreshments and to stretch. My own mama like to tore my head off when I nearly took a sip from a ‘whites only’ water fountain. The fountain I was to drink from was around back. One look at that filthy fountain, let’s just say, I was no longer thirsty. I’ll never forget it... I was 5.

I wasn't taught a lot on black history in my formative school years, however, when I got into college, I took a black history course and learned so much. Black history needs to be taught in all schools of the United States, it's a part of our history no matter how ugly and painful its past is. Without history, you are doomed to repeat the past, which is what's happening now.

WHEN I WAS A SMALL CHILD. WE WERE SO POOR. THE PEOPLE OF COLOR LIVED ONE STREET BELOW US. I PLAYED BALL WITH THEIR KIDS OFTEN. THANK YOU LORD FOR KEEPING ME HUMBLE

I had always thought that the segregation laws "jim crow" were named after some county commissioner who started the written laws that other jurisdictions copied. Thanks for the informative video.

I had no idea thanks

Thank you for the history lesson. I never knew where that term originated from.

Your effort to educate is applauded. Thank you

I heard Jim Crow mentioned a lot recently. I was planning to google it. This video comes in handy. Now I know. Thank you.

Thanks for your enlightening video. Jim Crow has been in news a lot recently. Now I've learned the origin of this term. Thanks from an American senior white woman who is embarrassed not to have known this.

Since so much hate is steeped in ignorance, your efforts to educate must be applauded. As a young child, I was uncomfortable with the dissonance between what was said and what I observed. I learned more from people, especially observation, and books than in actual school. When I was ten, I read a book titled Black Like Me. Many think this was just in the south but I was born in southern California which doesn't have such things happen, but they did.

THIS is why I can never say “Its JUST entertainment”

Thanks for sharing this important part of history. Information like this is not taught or discussed, so many people of color may not know the actual origins of Jim Crow. Your video was just detailed enough, but not too long to loose interest of viewers of all ages and attention spans. THANK YOU & KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!!!

Rest in Peace Officer David Dorn. This hero deserves a YT Video as well

Its really nice and considerate of you to reply and thank so many people in the comment section!

That was very neatly put together. Succinct, informative, and clearly narrated. Thanks

It is sad that it has never been taught in the schools I attended. I learned more about the Jim Crow laws while in college.

As a European, I find this a very interesting part of American history.

It's pretty sad when a group of people have no better or constructive way to entertain themselves than to degrade other people. In fact it's downright evil.😡👿

It is pitiful when anyone has to make fun, degrade, and lie on any people to feel better than they are. All people have value with various gifts and talents to benefit our lives. Peace comes with resoect given to everyone. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

I learnt about Jim crow in the UK when I saw a drama king, in 1979. When I watched Roots the next generation(which was shown and premiered on BBC1)in the autumn of 1979, I became even more aware of Jim crow, which as a black girl aged 12 upset me.

The insane part of Jim Crow about "No Mixing" wasnt an issue when slave owners raped our ancestors, and sold those children like animals to the slaughter. As a race we still have so much healing to do. Thank you for the history of the name behind Jim Crow.

Really informative, I had no idea at all on this topic. Thank you

The information is greatly appreciated. It makes me sad that any one person can make fun at someone else’s expense. I was taught better than that and my children were also.

So horrific ,we Never learned any about this. I learned so much on my own .This needs to change.

I was born in the last years of Jim Crow. I remember the "Whites Only" and the "Blacks Only" signs over doorways and bathrooms and water fountains. One of the first towns to be forced to integrate was Clinton, TN in 1958. The year before, 1957, white citizens of Anderson County TN rioted in their county seat, Clinton, TN. The following year they dynamited the high school. My mother was a teacher in that school. The destruction of the school forced the school system to bus (years before forced bussing) students 9 mi. to Oak Ridge HS. THE EFFECTS OF JIM CROW WENT ON UNTIL I ENTERED COLLEGE. My 1st year I was part of a group of students who went to sing for scholarships at LSU in 1972. On the way back to Nashville, we stopped to eat in Jackson, MS. We sat for over a half hour in the restaurant waiting for someone to serve us but no one came near. We had young black woman in our group and they wouldn't serve us. Even the black folks working at the restaurant would not talk to us.Things did not begin to change until the late 70s, but I have watched racism grow and get even more dangerous over the years. As a white male, I have experienced racism in a variety of forms because of my association with folks of diverse ethnicity with my relationship to that young black contralto, with my year long relationship to a Chinese girlfriend, with my close black friends in HS. I've had problems with the Klan and their very dangerous hooliganism. Make no mistake. What is happening now is headed towards a very bloody end for several reasons. Blacks are armed. There's no leader with the influence, poise, composure, etc. like Dr King to keep the lid on both sides. I fear greatly for this nation at this time.

thanks for sharing this. i just learned so much in 4 minutes

"The best slave is the one who thinks he is free." - Johann von Goethe

You did a great job on this video!

Thank you so much for the teaching about the origin of the Jim Crow term. Outstanding resource.

I finally learned about "Jim Crow", which is still alive and well in 2021.

Thank you - I have wondered about this for years.

Great content. Thanks for sharing..

I have learned more about history in the last 3 decades than I learned in school (60's - 70's). I'm glad that the lies perpetrated by those who wrote the history are now being corrected. We've been lied to for far too long.

Very informative video. I never knew the term "Jim Crow" was from a minstrel act. It is a sad testament to our past that Jim.Crow laws ever existed and an even sadder revelation that they still exist today!

Thank you so much. I knew the term and wanted to find out what it was about. This will give me a very good boost:) Thank u

Thank you for this information. It should be taught in schools.

Your video was very informative. Thank you.

Yet another thing that I did not know and had not really thought to research the roots of... Thanks!

Thanks for posting.

in my entire life i though jim crow was the person that who created that racist law.

Very Informative!

Very informative and well presented. I hope many others find this channel and have an interest to learn.

Thank you. Your segment was very informative.

When I was a little boy in Chicago, I heard the name Jim Crow and immediately thought of the whiskey ad whose mascot was the image of a crow with a top hat, monocle, and walking-stick under his wing. Haven’t seen that character in some years come to think of it. Can’t remember which brand of whiskey that was.

Thanks "Let's Teach" for educating me on what should have been taught in elementary school. This will be shared by me.

Thank You For Sharing 🇺🇲

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Very informative. Thanks!

This is the first time I heard of Jim Crow. Thanks. I learned something today.

Thank you for details on the history bit

I’ve always wondered. Thank you for educating me.

Funny how this was left out of school history books as well as the “Tulsa Race Massacre” back in 1921. Why were we not taught this back in school??

This video explains this topic, in a simple monotone voice. Keeping to the facts, dates and quotes, leaving out the emotional and sometimes loud, but justified comments.

Thanks for the insight❤

thank you for answering my questions

I find it ironic that Jim Crow and the Harlem Renaisance had its origin in NYC.

I am so glad I watched this as I really didn't know the origin of the term. I was born in Alabama in 1948 and grew up there and the pics of the coloured vs. white sections is something I remember very vividly.

Good to know, thanks!

I found this video very good! I learned so many new things

I never knew what Jim Crow met or stood for so it was good to finally understand what this word come from and what it was associated with

Only thing I didn't know was that it originated in the North! I should've been up on this info, I'm a Boogie down Bronx brother, with very little love for the south!

Thank you for the knowledge.

Nice to hear the actual origin of the term. Thanks.

thank you for the information. I don't see how people can be like this. to hate someone because of the Color of there Skin.

Very informative. Thanks

This need to be taught in our schools today! Our children need to know their history . Very informative information!

Canadian here, learned a lot. thanks

Thank you!!!

Greatly done. 🙏🏿

Very interesting and informative. Thanks.

Thank you!

Very interesting.

Thank you for this information as this term is used quite frequently, especially right now in the US.

Thank you for this video.

Thank you for the lesson. I had always thought it was from an old cartoon character I, ve seen before.

Gracias por tan interesante vídeo histórico !

Thanks for the lesson.

Great teaching tool. short and to the point. thank you.

I wouldn't call the black face routine as "innocuous" because it was so damaging. But I do appreciate the information. Keep it coming!

It is very hard for me to watch "Remember the Titans". I lived through that as a teenager.

I first heard of the name in a cartoon review video about films that involved stereotypes. I'm glad to have found this channel to learn more.

wow, great job.. i just found your videos, and am SUBSCRIBING, and will share from time to time... they are WELL DONE, and SHORT, for folks that want to LEARN QUICK
