The Psychology of Racism in Jim Crow America
This documentary examines the psychology behind racism and racial violence in the Jim Crow era, when thousands of lynchings terrorised Black Americans. Setting the brutal statistics against the mindset that permitted them, it probes how ordinary people came to take part in atrocity. It draws on history and psychology to understand the roots of such cruelty. Serious and sobering, it confronts a painful chapter of American history with clarity and care.
