In the Land of Jim Crow: Using the Vote-Sharing Power (clip)

African American civil rights workers and elected officials recall the indignities and brutality of racial discrimination and their personal experiences in winning the right to share political power. Interwoven are images that enhance the drama of these heartbreaking and courageous narratives. A Kinocraft production.

Part of a five-part series called In the Land of Jim Crow, these films offer a historical look at the de jure/de facto segregation that left African Americans behind. Even after the abolition of Jim Crow laws, they continue to have an impact on U.S. society today. 22 minutes, color.

Racism is making a return. neoCON/tae baggers are the idelogical decedents of the CONfederates. The N word used against Congressman?!?! What the s..t is this, Selma AL all over agian. Racism against Arabs, Mexicanos, and blacks is back. Who's next? Chinese Americans or people of India because of job exports? Remember the killing of Vietnamese refuge fishermen in the 70' and the murder of Sikh (not muslim) shop owners after 9/11?
