JIM CROW: SEGREGATION

A sobering collection documenting the Jim Crow era through the racist signage that enforced segregation across the American South from the 1870s through the 1960s. These images preserve the "Whites Only," "Colored," and other discriminatory signs that divided water fountains, restrooms, waiting rooms, and public spaces. This collection serves as a powerful reminder of America's shameful history of institutionalized racism and the daily humiliation faced by African Americans under segregation laws. These historical artifacts are essential for education, remembrance, and understanding the long struggle for civil rights and equality.
