Unfortunately, this is why people can hate others without ever having met them. The KKK is an example of people hating others they have never met due to the fact they believe what others have said. It is important to never judge people on the what others tells us, we need to make our own informed decisions on people and get to know their character….because physical appearance has no influence on one’s character as a person.

I want you to listen to a girl who experienced people not knowing her as a person, but made judgments about her due to her race. In this story the people did not hate her, they wanted to find out for themselves what she was like.

Write a well thought out response to the following question:

How do you think the Jim Crow Laws affected peoples perception of African Americans and specifically the girl in the story?

After learning about Reconstruction and the Jim Crow Laws, why do you think so many people have never seen a girl like her before?
