In 1883, the convict lease system was enacted which allows American prisoners to be used outside the prison for manual labor and would return to their cells after the days work was over. These independent companies would pay a fee to the state which would be much less than the cost of hiring the work out to free individuals. Again this hit the African American prison population hardest. Because as time went by the percentage of African Americans in the prison system went up this also meant that the percentage of African American's participating in the convict lease system also went up. Since many times they were imprisoned for a minor offense, and the prison workers were not being paid, the convict lease system was inherently racist and could even be argued to be similar to slavery.
It was not only the south that was racist. The United States supreme court could have stepped in when southern states tried to disfranchise African American voters but they failed to do so. Also Jim Crowe laws were placed at the state level in terms of legeslation and segregation was the official stance of the south by 1905. The Supreme Court during the reconstruction was seen as a friend of the African Americans but would change during post reconstruction. In decision after decision the supreme court would destroy the very fiber in which many of these civil rights legislation had been passed. In the case of Hall vs. Ducuir in 1878, the United States Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to tell someone that they could not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, or color.

Also, the public accommodations act of the civil rights act of 1878 was rendered null and void by the Supreme Court when they ruled that it was in fact unconstitutional to prohibit discrimination in the area of public transportation and other public places. Therefore, restaurants, parks, busses etc. would be segregated because the Supreme Court was not allowing it. The Supreme court concluded, this attack on African American rights with Plessey vs. Ferguson in 1896. In this decision the Supreme Court argued that it was not unconstitutional to segregate individuals on basis of race, creed, or color as long as accommodations offered to African Americans were not inferior to those offered to whites, i.e. "separate but equal." This decision was placed knowing that schools, and pretty much any public institution would be inferior for African Americans.
In Post WW 1 America there were several instances of domestic terrorism or what have been dubbed "race riots," which was essentially white folks going into the black communities and terrorizing the population. The Summer of 1919 was so bloody that James Johnson labeled it the Red Summer. In 1921, the outstanding black town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was called the "black Wall Street," was completely destroyed as whites marched through town burning it to the ground. Logan and Professor Jenkins are clearly accurate in their beliefs that the Nadir must have been between 1877-1919. In fact, the only flaw could be that it does go further then 1919 into perhaps 1921.
