| Summary | "The Jim Crow Car; Or, Denouncement of Injustice Meted Out to the Black Race" by Rev. J. Clay Coleman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the severe injustices and discriminatory practices faced by the Black community in the Southern United States, particularly focusing on transportation and public accommodations. Through personal observations and accounts, the author seeks to highlight the oppressive conditions endured by African Americans and create sympathy for their plight. The opening of the narrative sets a solemn tone, offering insight into the author's background and motivations. Coleman reveals that his opposition to the systemic discrimination against Black people led him to write this work, which stems from his extensive travels through the South, where he observed the stark inequalities on railroads and in public spaces. He recounts personal experiences that elucidate the deeply ingrained prejudices and injustices imposed by the societal norms of the time. Coleman emphasizes the ongoing impacts of slavery and argues for a better understanding and treatment of the Black race, urging readers to consider their humanity and rights in a society that continually marginalizes them.
