The Jim Crow Car; Or, Denouncement of injustice meted out to the black race

About this book

In the aftermath of the Civil War, the Southern United States grappled with a new era of racial segregation that would come to define the Jim Crow era. "The Jim Crow Car; Or, Denouncement of Injustice Meted Out to the Black Race" by Rev. J. Clay Coleman serves as a powerful indictment of the systemic racism that permeated society, particularly through the lens of public transportation. Coleman highlights the dehumanizing practice of enforced segregation, symbolized by the infamous "Jim Crow car," and passionately advocates for the unalienable rights of African Americans. This compelling document is essential reading for students, civic activists, and historians seeking to understand the roots of racial injustice and the ongoing struggle for equality.
