The Overtown Market in downtown Miami, Florida, Overtown, a largely African-American neighborhood that was called “Colored Town” in the days of rigid Jim Crow segregation regulations, particularly in the American South, from the late-19th to mid-20th centuries. There was no real Jim Crow, but he was the character of a dimwitted black slave portrayed by white minstrels in “blackface.” Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2020.
