Jim Crow
Jim Crow is a theater character that was developed by Thomas D. Rice, who would perform in blackface as the character. The stage persona eventually led its name to negative stereotypes of black people. Later, “Jim Crow” segregation laws came into effect until Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights act. Jim Crow was never an actual person.
