Ku Klux Klan racist memorabilia on display at the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia located at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan USA on 27 April 2012. The museum's goal is to use objects of intolerance to teach tolerance and promote social justice. From the museum the Original Jim Crow came about in the 1830s and '40s, the white entertainer Thomas Dartmouth Rice performed a popular song-and-dance act supposedly modeled after a slave. He named the character Jim Crow. After the American Civil War (1861-1865), most southern states and, later, border states passed laws that denied blacks basic human rights. It is not clear how, but the minstrel character's name 'Jim Crow' became a kind of shorthand for the laws, customs and etiquette that segregated and demeaned African Americans primarily from the 1870s to the 1960s.
