The Civil War brought an end to the institution of slavery in the US. Despite slavery becoming illegal, racism persisted and the legacy of slavery continued through injustices created by the Jim Crow laws. These laws, which legalized segregation, limited the rights and freedom of Black people. The Jim Crow laws remained in practice for decades, but civil rights activists never stopped fighting for equality. Read this book to learn about the Jim Crow era and its lasting legacy. Read Woke™ Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
