Sociology major, Salem Seymour, recently published an article that traces the origins of Jim Crow laws in the US South in the journal Spectre. The article, co-authored by sociology professor, Dr. Cody Melcher, shows, through a critical reinterpretation of late-19 th century southern history, that Jim Crow laws were passed in an attempt to repress and co-opt a radical interracial working-class movement centered around white and Black sharecroppers.
