Jim Crow has become such a familiar term — as in Jim Crow Laws or the Jim Crow South or the Jim Crow Era — that it’s easy to miss the animal — in this case...the crow inside the phrase.

What is the story behind this animalogy?  Resources for living compassionately and healthfully at joyfulvegan.com, including my books, cooking classes, and vegan trips.
