The title of this entry is, "Jim Crow Laws", but it contains no examples of the actual state and local laws. Grossly incomplete. WikiJoe24 (talk) 02:40, 4 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The External links section actually does include a link to state and local laws. There are some other sites that contain such lists which you can readily find with a google search, and if you feel that one of these other sites should be added to the External links section, that's certainly something that you could propose, if you don't want to do the edit yourself.

Why an image about a South African placard of the era of apartheid is used when linking this article in another article? You want to make South Africans look bad by a thing that happened in the USA?

Hi Breizhcatalonia1993. That's the ((Segregation)) navigation box for the whole "Part of a series of articles on Racial/ethnic segregation". If you have ideas for improving that box, Template talk:Segregation or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discrimination are the places to propose/discuss it.

Under the "Etymology" section the earliest mention should be updated according the following pertinent information:

"The first reference to a “Jim Crow car” that I could find in a newspaper, aided by the 21st-century power of digitized databases? The Salem Gazette, Oct. 12, 1838, less than six weeks after the new Eastern Rail Road opened for business on thirteen-and-a-half miles of freshly-laid track from East Boston to Salem, Mass." https://time.com/5527029/jim-crow-plessy-history/ Mitzip (talk) 16:16, 11 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I came to this page to say the same thing—Jim Crow laws began in the north well before the civil war even kicked off. It's also not a legal phenomenon restricted in the least to the former confederate states. This page is in major need of updates. Bailey.d.r (talk) 04:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
