My Jim Crow Life Story
The document tells the story of a man who was born in Gary, Indiana in 1958 to devout Jehovah's Witness parents. As a child, he gained success as the leader of the musical group The Jackson 5. As an adult, he was twice accused and acquitted of child molestation charges. The document then takes a turn, revealing that the man has awoken in a strange place and his memories reveal he was actually born in Arkansas in the 1950s and grew up experiencing Jim Crow laws. He formed a musical group with his brothers called The Jackson 5 and moved to Michigan to record, but was later arrested after trying to pass as white to further his career.
Jim Crow Signs Powerpoint
Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation and were enforced in the United States between the 1880s and 1960s. These laws required facilities like schools, public parks, restaurants, and transportation to be segregated for black and white people. Signs at facilities would label entrances, waiting areas, seating sections, or other spaces as "colored" or "white." The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional and violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, finding that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." This landmark ruling overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine and dismantled the legal basis of racial segregation in America.
The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow
The document discusses segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the Southern states from 1896 to 1968. It describes how the Supreme Court's ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson legalized racial segregation and discrimination under the doctrine of "separate but equal." The ruling allowed states to mandate segregation in public schools, transportation, and other public facilities as long as the facilities for black people were equal to those for white people, though in reality they were rarely equal.
Ppt 10 jim crow laws
After the abolition of slavery in 1865, Black Americans still faced widespread legal discrimination and racism in the Southern United States. The Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and denied Black people access to equal resources like schools, housing, and the right to vote through literacy tests. These unjust laws were not abolished until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s fought to end segregation and racial discrimination.
6.5 rise of jim crow and segregation
This document summarizes the rise of racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the post-Civil War South, known as the Jim Crow era. It describes how after Reconstruction ended in 1877 and federal troops withdrew, racist white southerners imposed strict segregation laws and customs. This included poll taxes, literacy tests, and the "separate but equal" doctrine established by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision, which legalized segregation across the South. The document also profiles early African American leaders who opposed these discriminatory policies, such as Ida B. Wells fighting against lynching, and Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois debating different approaches to civil rights.
JIM CROW LAW
The Jim Crow laws established racial segregation and discrimination in the Southern United States between 1882 and 1968, prohibiting African Americans from interacting with whites in public places, using the same transportation, or attending the same schools. The laws negatively impacted African Americans by denying them privileges, instilling constant fear, and leading to poorer living conditions, less education, and widespread discrimination. The Jim Crow system developed from a combination of historical factors, racial beliefs of the time, and a snowball effect that reinforced further discrimination.

The document discusses American segregation and racial inequalities prior to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling. It describes how, under the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling, black Americans were considered second-class citizens and faced legally mandated segregation in public spaces, as well as discrimination in housing, jobs, schools, hospitals and other aspects of life. The reality of "separate but equal" was that black Americans experienced inequality, as segregationists had no interest in equality. Brown v. Board of Education ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional and helped begin dismantling the system of racial segregation in the United States.

Balck history
Slavery has been traced as far back as the Code of Hammurabi in the Bible. Plantations in the southern states of America relied heavily on slave labor, with slaves primarily coming from West-Central Africa. The Civil War between the northern and southern states from 1861-1865 was fueled by disagreements over slavery and states' rights. After the war, Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination against freed black slaves until the civil rights movement of the 1950s-1960s fought to ban discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Civil rights ppt
The Civil Rights Movement sought to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. Key events included the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision that established the "separate but equal" doctrine allowing racial segregation. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision overturned this, finding racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional. In 1955, Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal event that highlighted the civil rights struggle and raised awareness.
Photo Essay Racial Segregation
Racism has existed throughout history and was particularly prominent between 1750 and 1970, when people were openly segregated by skin color in many countries. In the US, black people faced targeted discrimination through policies like segregated drinking fountains and prevention from voting, enforced by groups like the Ku Klux Klan, though civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. fought against it. While racism is less overt today, some areas of the US still have few black residents, contributing to remaining ignorance and racism.
Jim Crow In Pictures
The document summarizes Jim Crow laws in the United States that legalized racial segregation and discrimination, particularly against African Americans. Typical Jim Crow laws mandated separate public facilities, including schools, hospitals, transportation, and recreational areas for "white" and "colored" people. Some strange Jim Crow laws prohibited interracial interactions even in private businesses or games. By the early 20th century, African Americans protested against racial segregation through organized boycotts and demonstrations, sometimes resulting in violence between black and white citizens.

Jim Crow laws were introduced in the American South in 1868 and segregated African Americans from whites by taking away their basic human rights until the 1960s. The term "Jim Crow" originated from a character created by a white entertainer in the 1830s to demean and imitate enslaved black people. These laws affected all aspects of daily life by enforcing segregated public facilities, transportation, and social interaction. They aimed to confirm white supremacy and prevent social equality by threatening and abusing African Americans. As a result, many blacks moved North to escape this harsh treatment and seek better opportunities.
Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks was a civil rights activist who refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in 1955 Alabama, violating segregation laws. Her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 13-month non-violent protest of the city bus system led by Martin Luther King Jr. that ultimately resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional. Rosa Parks came to be known as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" for her pivotal role in fighting racial injustice and inspiring further protests against segregation.

The document outlines key events and developments regarding African Americans during the American Civil War, beginning with Lincoln's election and the South's secession in 1860-1861. It then details how the Union and Confederacy gradually adopted policies that affected slavery and the use of African American troops, such as the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the recruitment of all-black regiments. By the end of the war in 1865, over 186,000 African Americans had served in the Union army, with more than 38,000 losing their lives.

1) In colonial Virginia, Africans were initially viewed negatively and seen as primitive, but were still used as indentured servants. They were assumed to be captured and sold.
2) Over time, Africans became slaves as laws were passed declaring slave status would be inherited and preventing interracial relationships. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and profited from their labor and reproduction.
3) Abolition of slavery in the North did not eliminate racism and discrimination against African Americans, who faced barriers to employment, housing, and equal treatment before the law. Racism persisted subtly in practices and social norms.

Lincoln's son Tad asks him if there was anything he could have done differently as president to save lives during the Civil War. Lincoln reflects that slavery had divided the country long before he was president. He believes slavery is fundamentally wrong and felt compelled to fight its expansion. He explains to Tad how slavery began in the U.S. to support the agricultural economy, and that views on its morality varied widely among Americans throughout history, including in his own family.

The document summarizes key events and figures in the US Civil Rights Movement from the 1860s through the 1960s. It describes how abolitionists like Frederick Douglass fought slavery, while the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War saw some progress with blacks gaining rights. However, Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation. The NAACP and figures like MLK and Rosa Parks led the nonviolent resistance movement using tactics like bus boycotts, sit-ins, and marches. This resulted in landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, though violence from groups like the KKK remained a threat.
History
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor takes place in 1933 Mississippi, during the era of Jim Crow laws and segregation. The novel explores the racism faced by African Americans at that time through the experiences of the Logan family. Though the Supreme Court outlawed segregation in 1954 and Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, prejudice continued. Mildred Taylor drew on her own experiences witnessing racism in the South as well as her father's stories of living under Jim Crow laws to write this novel and shed light on the struggles of that era.

It provides context on nonviolent protests that were met with police brutality in cities like Birmingham. The violence included police using dogs and fire hoses on protestors. MLK's protests in Birmingham also faced brutality and bombings. Other events discussed include the murders of Medgar Evers and the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. The document also summarizes MLK's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech delivered at the March on Washington.
Ant Final Project
Homosexuality is illegal and persecuted in Jamaica. The culture and religion in Jamaica and many Caribbean islands view homosexuality as a crime. Article 79 of Jamaica's Offenses Against the Person Act punishes homosexual acts with up to two years imprisonment and hard labor. Reggae artists like Elephant Man and Sizzla promote homophobic lyrics that contribute to Jamaica's reputation as a dangerous place for LGBT people. While laws against homosexuality are not strictly enforced, the culture of homophobia allows for harassment. Changing attitudes and laws is difficult due to the influence of religion and anti-gay music in Jamaican culture.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
