The History of Jim Crow is a wonderful Web site that provides a wealth of historical and pedagogical materials on the segregation and the disfranchisement of African Americans from Reconstruction through the modern civil rights movement. The site was produced in conjunction with the PBS documentary The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow and is divided into five sections. One provides teachers guides to the four-part television series, while another includes brief overview essays on the origins, transformation, and end of Jim Crow. Three of the overviews are accompanied by in-depth essays that include hyperlinks to esoteric terms and concepts and to biographies of key figures and summaries of events. The geography section is particularly well designed. The content is organized in a series of interactive maps showing, among other things, Jim Crow laws in and outside of the South, patterns of lynchings, the locations of formative Supreme Court decisions on civil rights, and African American pioneers in the sporting world.
