Answer:

D;

Step-by-step explanation:

The term “Jim Crow” typically refers to repressive laws and customs once used to restrict black rights, but the origin of the name itself actually dates back to before the Civil War. "Jim Crow" was the stage name of Thomas Dartmouth Rice of New York, above, who gave minstrel performances in black face.
