Jim Crow Law
1. We had to go to PBS and participate in an activity and I choose Voting then & Now. I had to take a literacy test and had to go through strict voting regulations and I wasn't exempt from voting regulations.
2. The point of the activity was ti try to make us see how hard it was for the African Americans to even try to register to vote and even harder was when they actually had to vote if they passed all those hard literary tests and i failed mine and most of the blacks in that time couldn't even understand what it was about because they made it so complicated.
3. I learned that voting for everyone is so much easier than it is now and we should all appreciate that we can vote because voting was much harder than it is now.
4. Here's the link if you want to try any of these three activities (Voting then & Now, Ways of Seeing, and Racial Realities) http://www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow/tools.html
