This Far by Faith: African-American Spiritual Journeys. Boston: PBS Video, 2003.
Documents the African-American religious experience during the last three centuries from the early African slaves, through the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Era, and into the 21st century. Explores the struggle of African-Americans in their faith and how it became a force for social, political and cultural change in the United States.

The Murder of Emmett Till. Boston: PBS Home Video, 2003.
Documents the brutal 1955 murder of Emmett Till, a teen from Chicago who broke the unwritten Jim Crow South laws by whistling at a white woman in a grocery store in Money, Miss. His 2 white killers were acquitted by an all-white, all-male jury, and later sold to a journalist the story of how they killed the boy, adding momentum to the civil rights movement.

The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow. San Fransisco, CA: California Newsreel, 2002.
PBS television series of America’s segregation history, race relations, and African American Civil Rights. Jim Crow was not a person, yet affected the lives of millions of people. Named after a popular century minstrel song that stereotyped African Americans, “Jim Crow” came to personify the system of government-sanctioned racial oppression and segregation in the United States.

Remembering Jim Crow (http://americanradioworks.org/features/remembering/index.html)
For much of the 20th Century African Americans in the South were barred from the voting booth, sent to the back of the bus, and walled off from many of the rights they deserved as American citizens. Until well into the 1960’s, segregation was legal. The system was called Jim Crow. In this documentary, Americans ---black and white---remember life in the Jim Crow times. Remembering Jim Crow is produced in cooperation with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University.

The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow)
A four-part television series that tells the story of the African-American struggle for freedom during the era of segregation. The programs show how African Americans, from the end of the Civil War to the eve of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, dedicated their energies, and sometimes their lives, to gain their civil, political and economic rights.

Sampling of Jim Crow Laws (http://www.nps.gov/malu/documents/jim_crow_laws.htm)
From the 1880s into the 1960s, a majority of American states enforced segregation through “Jim Crow” laws (so called after a black character in minstrel shows). From Delaware to California, and from North Dakota to Texas, many states (and cities, too) could impose legal punishments on people for consorting with members of another race. The most common types of laws forbade intermarriage and ordered business owners and public institutions to keep their black and white clientele separated.
