Jim Crow is not a person but rather a term that refers to the racial segregation laws enacted in the United States, particularly in the Southern states, from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. These laws were named after a blackface minstrel character created in the 1830s by white performer Thomas Dartmouth Rice. The Jim Crow era is generally considered to have started in the 1870s and continued until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, effectively lasting around 90 years.
