Today we reviewed the dawn of Jim Crow. We discussed the origins and causes and impact of the early Jim Crow laws and practices. We will return to Jim Crow practices soon.
We then shifted back to the industrialization of the United States. We created a two sided sheet with an small illustration of a newly rich factory owner on one side of a blank sheet of paper and a small illustration of a factory worker on the other side. We started watching the video about the Triangle Shirt Fire (see clips at the bottom of this page). During each segment we listed the grievances and concerns for each group. After watching each clip we discussed each group's perspectives about the situation as it developed. Today we completed sections 1 through 5.
