Things Learned from Chapter 1

Three things that I Learned from chapter one was about the Black Madonna, Jim Crowe Laws, and Brown vs. Board of Education. The Black Madonna was a black version of the Virgin Mary. To the right is a picture of the Black Madonna. Jim Crowe laws were laws that stated that segregation was OK as long as everything was "separate but equal."Brown Vs. The Board of education was a court case that was held because a black man thought it was more logical to send his daughter to a white school that was right down the street instead of her going to the all black school that was 15 miles away it was a large building block for the civil rights movement.
