CHARLES H. HOUSTON

– “THE MAN WHO

KILLED JIM CROW”

By scook

This brief documentary talks about the origins of Jim Crow—how the name came about and why the character was developed.

It’s quite interesting.

It also talks about Charles Hamilton Houston, a man who was a prominent lawyer. He was responsible for dismantling the Jim Crow laws and was known as “The Man Who Killed Jim Crow.”
