Question

black renaissance in the face of jim crow laws
life after emancipation
despite the end of slavery in 1865, little had changed for african americans by 1900

• historical data: according to the 1900 census, 90% of african americans still lived in the south, and most worked on farms.
• effects of jim crow: jim crow laws enforced segregation in the south and restricted black americans freedoms and opportunities. as a result, many worked as tenant farmers and share - croppers, which kept them in debt and unable to leave.
• barriers to opportunity: sharecropping and tenant farming were exploitative and kept black people in poverty. as a result, little progress had been made toward black land ownership or educational advancement by 1900.
• the great migration: around 1915, while europe fought world war i, industrial jobs opened up in the north and the west. sensing the opportunity for better jobs without the violence and oppression of the jim crow south, millions of african americans moved to the industrial centers of the north and west; a shift known as the great migration.
