This web quest will take you through a series of activities that will allow you to further investigate the Jim Crow laws and the people who were affected by them. In your first activity you will be asked to research the history and examine the actual Jim Crow Laws, while making personal connections; second you will read personal narratives of African-Americans who were personally affected by the restrictions imposed on them by these laws and complete an informational sheet about your narrator; for your final task you will be asked to listen to a personal narrative and create a one page personal response allowing you to make an emotional connection to the lives of the African American who survived this time. Your goal is to uncover what it was really like to be African American during a time of extreme racism and segregation. Without this understanding, any reference to this era will be much harder to comprehend.
