What are some john crow laws?

Answer 1

there is no such animal as "john crow" laws; the questioner likely is confused in that "Jim Crow" laws are a major feature of America's racial past, laws that gradually disappeared in the 1930s and 1940s and were massively attacked by the decision of the US Supreme Court in Brown v School Board, 1954, which affected not only public school facilities in the US but in all areas of law where racially based distinctions were embedded in the language of the law. though this contributor's name is John Crow, he was a professor of political science for 26 years, then became an Immigration lawyer. While a scholar, he aulthored studies of black poverty in Arizona, racial segregation of Mexican Americans in the southwest, and appeared as an expert witness in the lawsuit of blacks against the Tucson School Board in the 1970s, when the school authorities were found by the federal judge to have used race in the design, location and assignment of black younsters in the public schools. Arizona had a miscegenation law for much of the 20th century. A black person and a white person could not marry in the State. The bar also applied to Asian persons. Enforcement of the laws merely barred the marriage ceremony itself: a black person and a white could go to another state, marry and return to their lives without any legal consequence. Jim Crow laws were in place in the public schools of Phoenix and Tucson through the 1950s. Blacks were not that numerous and as a consequence they were invariably assigned to schools where Indian and Mexican American children were predominant. John Crow
