Where Did the Name Jim Crow Come from?

0

It is believed that the name Jim Crow came from a song which was done by a white man depicting a black man with his face and hands made black with make up. This was done in the 1820’s, and so successful was the acting and singing that the name Jim Crow became synonymous with racial slurs and stereotyping against blacks.
