This paper will examine racial discrimination in jury selection. Starting with historical context, we will demonstrate how racial discrimination came into play. George Stinny, Emmett Till, and other African Americans are victims who both experienced racial discrimination. The Supreme Court's decisions will be a guide to help understand each of the cases and how they each helped change the justice system. Jim Crow Laws Jim Crow laws, also known as the Black Codes, were codes created in the South that separated African Americans from white Americans. Some of the laws were as follows:1. African American men were not allowed to shake hands with white American men because it showed equality between the two races.2. The two races were not allowed to eat together. If they did, white people would eat first and black people second.3. African Americans were not allowed to show affection to their partners in public.4. Black people were always expected to be respectful to white people. These are some examples of Jim Crow laws and they demonstrate the inequality between African Americans and white Americans - "separate but equal" (.

Kentucky 1986). Finally, the basic story shows the progression of racial discrimination before civil rights to the present day. . George Stinny and Emmett Till were sure to face a system of racial justice due to Jim Crow and civil rights laws. After civil rights, the court system created revised rules and regulations for everyone, including African Americans and other races. Obviously, most of the other articles are from before 2010, followed by Supreme Court decisions making due process equal for all races..
