Jim Crow is not a specific individual but rather a term that refers to a set of laws and social practices that enforced racial segregation in the United States, primarily in the South, from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. The name is believed to have originated from a minstrel character created by white performer Thomas Dartmouth Rice in the 1830s. These laws affected various aspects of life, including education, transportation, and public accommodations, institutionalizing racial discrimination.
