The Struggle Against Police Brutality, Mass Incarceration, and Educational Discrimination in the Jim Crow North



Jim Crow is best known for its impact in the south, but institutional segregation and systemic inequality defined life for African Americans living in the north through racist policies in housing, schools, and policing. Kris Burrell, James Forman Jr., and Clarence Taylor will examine the history of the Jim Crow North, and its continued impact on the inequality of today’s educational and criminal justice systems
