China figure of a minstrel style figure wearing a top hat and tails, possibly depicting Jim Crow: The term “Jim Crow” refers to repressive laws and customs once used to restrict black rights. The name Jim Crow dates back to the early 1830s. A white actor Thomas Dartmouth “Daddy” Rice was famous for performing minstrel routines as the fictional “Jim Crow,” a caricature of a clumsy, dimwitted black slave.
