The Strange Career of Jim Crow: Books that Changed the National Conversation
“Segregation in complete and fully developed form did grow up contemporaneously with slavery, but not in its midst. One of the strangest things about the career of Jim Crow was that the system was born in the North and reached an advanced age before moving South in force.”
-C. Vann Woodward, The Strange Career of Jim Crow, 1955
