A detailed and thought-provoking account of segregation including photos and first-person stories illustrating life in the Jim Crow era (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Told through unforgettable first-person accounts, photographs, and other primary sources, this book is an overview of racial segregation and early civil rights efforts in the United States from the 1890s to 1954, a period known as the Jim Crow years. Multiple perspectives are examined as the book looks at the impact of legal segregation and discrimination on the day-to-day life of black and white Americans across the country. Complete with a bibliography and an index, it is both an engrossing read and an important addition to black history books for young people.
