Jim Crow 101

"Jim Crow Guide: The Way It Was", is an excellent 'guide' to life in the Jim Crow South. Stetson Kennedy's book amply captures this era, when terriorism of an entire class of U.S. citizens, in the South, was the order of the day. The author's style of writing and unique presentation technique, makes this work easy reading for general readers and all students of American History from 9th grade and above.
