Jim Crow Car; Or,  Denouncement Of Injustice Meted Out To The Black Race

Jim Crow Car; Or, Denouncement of Injustice Meted Out to the Black Race

by John Clay Coleman

Published in the early 20th century, 'Jim Crow Car' by Reverend John Clay Coleman offers a firsthand account of the oppressive Jim Crow era in the American South. It delves into the realities of segregation, the horrors of lynching, and the discriminatory practices endured by Black people. Coleman, drawing on his own experiences and those of other prominent figures like Henry McNeal Turner and Ida B. Wells-Barnett, highlights the legal and social injustices that followed the Civil War. The book examines the landmark Supreme Court decision that rendered the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional, underscoring the ongoing struggle for racial equality. Coleman's personal narrative, coupled with his observations of segregation on railroad lines, adds a poignant layer to the historical analysis.
