OR, a less medieval Europe outlook;
Crows are very vocal birds. They are sly and often deceptive in their actions. Crows have been known to build false nests high in treetops to confuse predators. The height of their nests give them the opportunity to watch everything that is going on around them. Many cultures think of crow as the keeper of knowledge for nothing escapes their keen sight.
Crows travel in groups and make mischief in teams. As one crow explores something new, others will watch closely to see what happens and then learn from it. In this way they seem to always be in council with each other. They often raise a ruckus when hunters are around, warning deer and other birds. Crows recognize possible danger and always post lookouts when feeding---thier most vulnerable time.
Their language is complex and they have a remarkable voice range. Each caw has its own meaning. Sometimes crow warns of impending danger. Other times it signals a time to join in council and make decisions. Listening to crow can teach those with this medicine how to hear the truth of what is being said.
The striking black color of crow represents the color of creation. It is the womb out of which the new is born. Black the color of night gives birth to the light of a new day. Crow is a daytime bird reminding us that magic and creation are present in both. Their ability to shift between the known and unknown world indicates new journeys.
Because crow is adaptable to all environments and will eat almost anything they can survive in almost any situation. Crow is associated with magic, unseen forces and spiritual strength. If crow flies into your life, get out of your familiar nest, look beyond your present range of vision, listen to its caw and act accordingly.

The segregation and discrimination under the Jim Crow laws (1876-1965) was eventually dismantled after years of civil rights efforts.
The Supreme Court recognized that these laws were incompatible with equal treatment under law and overturned Plessy v. Furguson in the landmark ruling Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This led to conflict between the federal government and the states, but after a decade of racial strife, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 meant the end of Jim Crow and separate but equal.
Most of the surviving laws were eventually ruled to be extensions of discrimination on the basis of race, and deemed unconstitutional.
