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.
