Thor and Champ, the two young stallions are in segregation. They are not allowed in the pasture with Queen and the new colt and even Tootsie, Freddie Mac, and Prince are in a different pasture. The two young horses were suppose to be gelded last year and they are still on a waiting list. They are both depressed and really one to see the small herd all together again.

Dec 14,2021 - the Return of Covi : It seems to be discrimination when certain Acadia gym members received a notice informing them they are forbidden access to the Athletics complex until further notice.. While other members of same and equal membership standing received no such notice and these male, female, trans and non-Binary members are still allowed to openly use the fitness centers all they want for their daily workouts ? This policy of segregation is different from last year's Covi adjustment (2020) when ALL active members were included and treated equally ?
copied from the official notice : "The Athletics complex will be closed to community drop-ins, community memberships, and external rentals until further notice " However,, Acadia staff, faculty and students, with proof of double vaccination, will continue to access the fitness center, the pool and the arena for skating.

Exposition : The color line
Du mardi 04 octobre 2016 au dimanche 15 janvier 2017
Quel rôle a joué l’art dans la quête d’égalité et d’affirmation de l’identité noire dans l’Amérique de la Ségrégation ? L'exposition rend hommage aux artistes et penseurs africains-américains qui ont contribué, durant près d’un siècle et demi de luttes, à estomper cette "ligne de couleur" discriminatoire.
—————
« Le problème du 20e siècle est le problème de la ligne de partage des couleurs ».
Si la fin de la Guerre de Sécession en 1865 a bien sonné l’abolition de l'esclavage, la ligne de démarcation raciale va encore marquer durablement la société américaine, comme le pressent le militant W.E.B. Du Bois en 1903 dans The Soul of Black Folks. L’exposition The Color Line revient sur cette période sombre des États-Unis à travers l’histoire culturelle de ses artistes noirs, premières cibles de ces discriminations.
Des thématiques racistes du vaudeville américain et des spectacles de Minstrels du 19e siècle à l’effervescence culturelle et littéraire de la Harlem Renaissance du début du 20e siècle, des pionniers de l’activisme noir (Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington) au réquisitoire de la chanteuse Billie Holiday (Strange Fruit), ce sont près de 150 ans de production artistique – peinture, sculpture, photographie, cinéma, musique, littérature… – qui témoignent de la richesse créative de la contestation noire.

Shown here is an image of Case 2 from the exhibit "The Virginia Way of Life Must Be Preserved", on display in the Nancy Marshall Gallery on the 1st floor of Swem Library at the College of William & Mary. This exhibit is part of "From Fights to Rights: The Long Road to a More Perfect Union," Swem Library's project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement. The exhibit is on display from June 18-October 22, 2012.
The following is a transcription of the labels presented in this section of the case:
Pro-Segregation:
The materials in this section represent a tiny fraction of the thousands of pro-segregation letters and documents in Swem’s collections. Those who favored segregation gave a variety of reasons, but the most emotional was a fear that integration of schools would lead to race mixing, including interracial marriages. U.S. Senator A. Willis Robertson, a Democrat and crony of Harry Byrd’s, received letters from all over the state. He is pictured here speaking at William & Mary’s commencement in 1957, when the College awarded him an honorary degree. State Senator (and later Governor) Mills Godwin, Jr. (W&M ’34), also pictured here, was a Democrat who served on the Gray Commission and received letters primarily from his Southside constituents. U.S. Representative William Tuck (W&M ’17), another Democrat, received letters not just from his Southside district but also from across the state, because he was a former governor and one of the leading segregationists in Virginia. He helped found the extremely pro-segregation Defenders of State Sovereignty and Individual Liberties. His correspondents included extremists who advocated removal of the black population to Africa and the assassination of the president, vice president, and the entire Supreme Court.

These words are engraved on my transport belt. Well, being dressed in a striped jumpsuit and having to wear full restraints always feels somewhat dehumanizing. But these restraint belts probably don't feel that bad as other more severe waist restraints. And of course, the infamous black box would be pretty much inhumane.
J. Charles Jones leads Access Coordinating Committee to End Segregation in the Suburbs (ACCESS) members on a 66 mile walk around the Beltway starting June 8, 1966 at Georgia Ave.
The protesters were demanding that dozens of large, affordable apartment complexes in the Washington, D.C. suburbs open their doors to African Americans.
During the four day march through rain and heat, they received many indications of support. However, integration opponents also threw objects at them and swerved autos in their direction.
Jones led demonstrations for a year in nearly every county in the Washington suburbs, including sit-ins, marches and picketing. The longest fight occurred at the Buckingham Apartments in Alexandria.
While the publicity engendered much debate and raised the issue in public consciousness, the actual number of apartment complexes that began admitting African American renters as a result of the protests was small.
The federal 1968 Civil Rights Act finally prohibited most instances of discrimination in housing. Prior to the federal act, Maryland voters rejected an open housing law by referendum in 1967.
Jones was a veterans civil rights worker who was a leader in the 1960-61 efforts to desegregate Charlotte department stores and was a freedom rider in 1961. After receiving his divinity degree from Howard University, he returned to Charlotte where he remained active in civil rights issues.

Tchula developed a thriving blues culture during the segregation era as a freewheeling home base and gathering spot for musicians throughout the area. “It was very energetic,” recalled guitarist Jesse Robinson, who lived in nearby Mileston and later became a leading blues figure in Jackson. “Musicians would just be playing all over the place.” The area's most famous performer, slide guitar master Elmore James (1918-1963), was inspired, according to local lore, by guitarist Henry “Nub” Craft. James, who recorded the classic “Dust My Broom,” gave a rural Tchula address when he registered for the Navy in 1943. Fellow slide guitarist Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor, known locally as "Nitter" or "Niller," was influenced by Willie Collins and in turn taught guitarist Wylie (or Wiley) Gatlin (c. 1916-1983) when he lived here in the 1930s and '40s. In Chicago Taylor was the first artist to record for Alligator Records, and his “genuine houserocking music” provided the label with its theme. Tchula natives Gatlin and Woodrow Adams both moved to Tunica County and recorded in Memphis in the 1950s.
The Chicago blues scene once included a sizable contingent of Holmes County cousins. Albert “Little Smokey” Smothers played with cousin Lee “Shot” Williams and others, and when he was a member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Little Smokey mentored blues-rock guitarist Elvin Bishop. He and his brother Otis “Big Smokey” Smothers (1929-1993) from Lexington recorded albums of their own, as did their cousin, multi-instrumentalist Lester Davenport, who also played harmonica with Bo Diddley. Davenport was the son of slide guitarist Neely Davenport. Cousins from the Brown family included vocalist Arelean and her brothers China (later a bandleader in St. Louis), George and King. Arelean was famed for her topical 1970s records “I Am a Streaker Baby” and “Impeach Me Baby.” Lee “Shot” Williams recorded prolifically as a soul-blues singer for many labels –including his own Tchula Records–and sometimes returned to this area to live and perform.
Jimmy Dawkins became one of Chicago's most critically acclaimed blues guitarists after recording his debut LP "Fast Fingers" in 1969. Dawkins, an advocate for blues artists' rights, later started his own publishing, recording and management companies. Guitarists Emmett “Maestro” Sanders and his cousin James “Quick” Smith played blues in Peoria, Illinois, and Sanders was also featured in Koko Taylor's Chicago band. Singer Bobby Foster (b. Tchula, 1941) recorded soul and blues in St. Louis and Memphis, while guitarist Matt Nickson (1924-2000), a Mileston native, was a veteran of the Buffalo, New York, blues scene. Lewis Clark, at one time known as the “Blues Doctor,” made a name recording southern soul as the “Love Doctor.” A track called “Blues for Tchula” was released on a 1994 CD by local medical doctor Ron Myers, a jazz pianist and promoter.
DPAC protest at Dept for Education for inclusive education - London 04.09.2013
Campaigners from disability groups Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) and Alliance for Inclusive Education (ALLFIE) protested outside the Dept. For Education to demand an end to increasing educational segregation of disabled children.
This protest was one of four simultaneous protests taking place as the culmination of a national week of action organised by Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) using the campaign title "Reclaiming Our Futures", and were aimed specifically at government departments whose actions are impacting severly on disabled people - Education, health, Transport and Energy.
Following the individual actions, all four groups of campaigners merged on the Dept for Work and Pensions headquarters for a larger protest against benefits cuts to disabled people which, they claim, affects them disproportionately.

marabastad, pretoria. old polaroids and slide scans, around 1980
Marabastad was a culturally diverse community, with the Hindu Mariamman Temple arguably being its most prominent landmark.
Like the residents of other racially diverse areas in South Africa, such as District Six, "Fietas" and Sophiatown, the inhabitants of Marabastad were relocated to single-race townships further away from the city centre.
These removals were due to Apartheid laws like the Group Areas Act. Unlike Sophiatown, Fietas and District Six, it was not bulldozed, but it retained many of its original buildings, and became primarily a business district, with most shops still owned by the Indians who had also lived there previously.
Some property was however owned by the city council and the government, resulting in limited development taking place there. In addition, a large shopping complex was built to house Indian-owned shops.
The black residents of Marabastad were relocated to Atteridgeville (1945),
the Coloured residents to Eersterus (1963), and the Indian residents to Laudium (1968).
There are plans to revive once-picturesque Marabastad, and to reverse years of urban decay and neglect, although few seem to have been implemented as of 2005.
History[edit]
Marabastad was named after the local headman of a village to the west of Steenhoven Spruit. During the 1880s he lived in Schoolplaats and acted as an interpreter.
During this period some Africans lived on the farms where they were being employed and also chose to live on other, undeveloped land. Schoolplaats could also not accommodate all the migrants and this resulted in squatting.
An overflow from Schoolplaats to the north-west and Maraba’s village occurred and in August 1888 the land was surveyed by the government. The location Marabastad was established and was situated between the Apies River in the north, Skinner Spruit in the west, Steenhoven Spruit in the east and De Korte Street in the south.
There were 67 stands varying between 1400 and 2500 square meters each. Residents were not allowed to own stands, but had to rent them from the government at 4 pounds a year.
They were allowed to build their own houses and to plant crops on empty plots. Water was acquired from the various bordering rivers and 58 wells situated in the area.
The township was not private owned and was managed by the Transvaal Boer Republic. At the outbreak of the Second Boer War in 1899 there were no rules and regulations with regard to Marabastad.
Africans who streamed to Pretoria during the war were living in squatter camps near the artillery barracks, the brickworks and the railway stations at Prinshof.
This resulted in the development of ‘New Marabastad’ in the area between Marabastad and the Asiatic Bazaar in 1900 by the British military authorities. They had been occupying the city since June 1900 and resettled refugees in the area. By 1901 there were 392 occupied stands in the New Marabastad and there was no real segregation between Africans, Asians and Coloured people.
Although New Marabastad was intended as a temporary settlement the military authorities granted permission for in their employ to erect brick houses. This resulted in the erection of other permanent structures like schools and churches.
The new Town Council was established in 1902 and it was accepted that the residents of New Marabastad would be moved to other, planned townships.
In 1903 New Marabastad had grown to 412 stands while Old Marabastad still only had 67. Along with the Cape Location, which was situated in the southern part of the Asiatic Bazaar, it fell under the jurisdiction of the City Council of that year.
The greatest problem was the provision of water and this was only addressed after the war. Due to the fear of epidemic all wells in the area had been filled during the war, and a single public tap had replaced the entire system.
New Marabastad didn’t have any wells or taps. There was an attempt to rectify this in 1903 by providing more taps, but the number was still inadequate.
In 1906 New and Old Marabastad became one location.
Rates were determined and sanitary and building regulations came into effect. These regulations didn’t achieve their objections as a result of municipal maladministration and the fact that Africans could not own land and afford well-built permanent houses.
Streets remained unpaved, the water supply was inadequate and there were no sanitary facilities worth mentioning. More and more shacks appeared. By 1907 conditions improved marginally, but the streets were left in their unkempt state and by 1910 this had still not been addressed.
The Native Affairs Department accused the Pretoria Town Council of inefficient administration, which had led directly to this situation.
Removals[edit]
South Africa portal
The relocation of residents of Old Marabastad had been on the agenda of the town council since 1903 and in 1907, when the council decided to build a new sewage farm, it became a reality.
It was decided to remove all residents of the area to a new location further away from the city centre and to demolish the old township. Now followed the struggle of finding a suitable site.
The site on the southern slope of Daspoortrand was decided on in 1912 and in January planning for the ‘New Location’ started. It would include a number of brick houses that could be rented from the municipality.
By September of the same year the first relocations were taking place and demolishing of old structures commenced. It was a slow process and Old Marabastad was only completely destroyed by 1920.
The lack of space remained a problem and New Marabastad was experiencing severe overcrowding.
By 1923 the last houses of the second municipal project was completed in New Location and Marabastad residents who had been exposed to the worst conditions were allowed to move in first.
In 1934 part of the Schoolplaats population was moved to Marabastad and the squatter problem became more severe.
There was no room for expansion due to a lack of space.
An attempt to solve these problems manifested itself in the establishment of Atteridgeville in 1939. The Marabastad community would be moved here and compensation was offered to previous owners of property in the form of new houses they could rent, but not own.
The war slowed down the process considerably, but 1949 had moved three quarters of the population of Marabastad to Atteridgeville, and by 1950 the transition was complete

Reference Number: 100006020
Leevy’s Funeral Home built in 1951, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2020 for its significance in black history and the system of segregation in Columbia, South Carolina. The funeral home was part of a community effort by the city’s Black citizens, to create alternative spaces to gather and provide one another with essential services, including funerary services. The building’s significance expands beyond funeral services as it was also a site for politics as it assisted in African American voter registration and education. The funeral home was owned and operated by Isaac Samuel (I. S.) Leevy, a prominent local political activist and community leader. The funeral home was Leevy’s home, place of business, and the center of his political actions. Leevy was heavily involved in South Carolina politics as a registered Republican who advocated for the two-party system and voter registration. Black-owned funeral homes like Leevy’s that emerged in the early twentieth century did so out of both necessity and a desire for the African American dead to be afforded the same respect as whites. Around the turn of the twentieth century, few American communities had a Black-owned funeral home. African Americans who sought out mortuary services therefore had to seek the services of white undertakers. Some simply refused to serve African Americans altogether. Black funeral homes offered African Americans the full range of services associated with caring for the dead, including embalming, burial, and, in some cases, even casket manufacturing. Leevy’s itself was ultimately among the Black funeral homes that placed emphasis on the ambulance services they offered to the local community and the respectful services they deserved.

Three women of the group "Women of the Wailing Wall" were arrested while fighting for there right to pray as men do dressing in a talit and singing the praier in load voice.
They say that despite repeated arrests they will repeat this act again and again until they get recognized for their right to pray according to their faith
.
ראש חודש נחשב חג עבור נשים עוד מתקופת התלמוד. בראש חודש, לפי מסורת חז"ל, הנשים פטורות מכל מלאכה, מאחר וקיבלו תגמול מאת ה' על כי לא השתתפו עם הגברים במעשה עגל הזהב.
המאבק של נשות הכותל התחיל בדצמבר 1988 לאחר הכנס הבינלאומי הראשון של פמיניסטיות יהודיות בה השתתפו עשרות נשים מכל העולם ". כחלק מהכנס, תכננו הנשים המשתתפות לקיים תפילת הודיה לשלום המדינה ברחבת הכותל עם ספר תורה. כאשר הגיעו והחלו החלו לקרוא בתורה, התפרצה השתוללות אלימה מצד עזרת הגברים. הם ירקו עליהן, התעללו בהן התעללות מילולית וסחבו להן את ספרי הסידור מהיד. כל זאת, רק בשל העובדה שנשות הכותל התפללו בקול, עטופות בטליתות ואוחזות ספר תורה.
Rosh Chodesh is considered a holiday for women since the days of the Talmud. First of the month, according to rabbinic tradition, women are exempt from all work, since the compensation received from the Lord on that did not participate with the men act the Golden Calf.
Struggle of "Women of the Wailing Wall" began in December 1988 after the first International Conference of Jewish feminists attended by dozens of women from around the world. "As part of the conference, planned to women participating to have a prayer of thanksgiving for the State at the Wall with a Torah scroll. When they arrived and began began to read from the Torah, broke Rampage violent men's section. they spat on them, abused them verbally abused and dragged them to the hand arrangement books. all this, simply because women of prayed aloud, wrapped in shawls and holding a Torah scroll.
It was not surprising that even though I grew up in Wisconsin, with my father’s parents coming from Finland around 1903, I can relate to much of the author’s family history, because my mother and her family for many generations came from Tennessee and North Carolina, with supposedly at least 20 Confederate officers and probably some slave owners among her ancesters. My taste of Jim Crow segregation in the South was mostly in the early 1950s when I went to summer camps in Chattanooga, where my grandmother’s friendly banker neighbor next door was believably rumored to be a Klan member.

Shown here is an image of Case 2 from the exhibit "The Virginia Way of Life Must Be Preserved", on display in the Nancy Marshall Gallery on the 1st floor of Swem Library at the College of William & Mary. This exhibit is part of "From Fights to Rights: The Long Road to a More Perfect Union," Swem Library's project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement. The exhibit is on display from June 18-October 22, 2012.
The following is a transcription of the labels presented in this section of the case:
Pro-Integration:
This section includes many of the letters and resolutions in Swem’s collections from Virginians who favored the Brown decision. African Americans strongly supported the Supreme Court. NAACP chapters, ministers, and the Virginia Teachers
Association, which represented teachers of color, advocated for integration. The NAACP pin belonged to one of the Ragsdale sisters, pictured here, whose sister Mabel was assistant principal at Farmville’s Moton High School. Among whites, support tended to be strongest among ministers and religious groups such as the Friends and the Mennonites and also among people who lived in areas such as southwestern and northern Virginia, where the black populations were smallest. The Virginia Council of Human Relations was an interracial group that supported integration in schools and other public facilities.
Few of the supporters of the Brown decision bothered to write to the white political leaders whose papers Swem Library owns. The likeliest white politician in Swem’s collections to receive pro-Brown letters was State Senator Ted Dalton (W&M ’24), a Republican who represented southwestern Virginia. He favored segregation but opposed closing schools, putting him at odds with the architect of massive
resistance, Harry Byrd, with whom he is pictured in the other case.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speaks to an overflow crowd in Rankin Chapel on the campus of Howard University November 10, 1957 urging that black Americans “stand up as an organized mass and refuse to cooperate” with racial discrimination.
Within the past year, King had led the Montgomery bus boycott to a successful conclusion and led the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom where upwards of 25,000 gathered in Washington to urge federal intervention in enforcing the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decisions outlawing Jim Crow schools.
The year had catapulted King into the undisputed leader of the civil rights movement, surpassing the NAACP and other traditional civil rights organizations and leaders.
Kenneth Dole reported in the November 11, 1957 Washington Post on his Howard speech, which was more like a sermon:
“The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. yesterday told an overflow Howard University congregation that ‘with the method of nonviolence we can turn civilization upside down.’
“Student jammed the sanctuary of Rankin Chapel to hear the Montgomery, Ala. bus strike leader, filled the basement hall, stood in the corridors and sat on the stairs of the library building where a loudspeaker had been set up.
“An advocate of civil disobedience when segregation is involved, Dr. King said ‘we must stand up as an organized mass and refuse to cooperate, yet somehow do this with love in our hearts for those opposed to us.’
“Declaring ‘violence only gains victory and never gains peace,’ he warned against violent methods. ‘Violence creates more social problems than it solves.’ He said. If violence is resorted to, ‘unborn generations will be the recipient of a long night of futility and wickedness.’
“Nor should Negroes resign themselves to discrimination. ‘We must come to see,’ he said, ‘that the minute we passively accept injustice, we cooperate with it.’
“The method of ‘nonviolent resistance rooted in Christian love’ is the best way for Negroes to combat segregation ‘and God grant that we use it.’ He said.
“Dr. King told why Negroes should obey Jesus and ‘love your enemies.’ Hate, he said, does ‘nothing but intensify the existence of hate and evil in the universe.’ But love, he said, is ‘creative.’

With Fire Station 30 being the only station Black firefighters could work, the apparatus was heavy with manpower. As more African-Americans were hired, the LAFD moved the White firefighters out of Fire Station 14 to solve the staffing issues at Fire Station 30, but not before they vandalized the firehouse before the black members could occupy it. The Fire Chief ordered the White firefighters back to 14's to clean up their mess. After the move, there were still extra members assigned to some fire companies.
Rapid strata formation in soft sand (field evidence).
Photos of strata formation in soft sand on a beach, created by tidal action of the sea.
Formed in a single, tidal event of turbulent, high tide.
See many other examples of rapid stratification, field evidence.: www.flickr.com/photos/101536517@N06/sets/72157635944904973/
This natural example of rapid, simultaneous stratification refutes the Superposition Principle, the Principle of Original Horizontality and the Principle of Lateral Continuity.
Superposition only applies on a rare occasion of sedimentary deposits in perfectly, still water. Superposition is required for the long evolutionary timescale, but the evidence shows it is not the general rule, as was once believed. Most sediment is laid down in moving water, where particle segregation is the rule, resulting in the simultaneous deposition of strata/layers as shown in the photo.
Where the water movement is very turbulent, violent, or catastrophic, great depths of stratified sediment can be laid down in a short time. Certainly not the many millions of years assumed by evolutionists.
The composition of strata formed in any deposition event. is related to whatever materials are in the sediment mix. Whatever is in the mix will be automatically sorted into strata/layers. It could be sand, or material added from mud slides, erosion of chalk deposits, volcanic ash etc. Any organic material (potential fossils) will also be sorted and buried within the rapidly, formed strata.
Stratified, soft sand deposit. demonstrates the rapid, stratification principle.
Supporting, field evidence for the scientific work of eminent sedimentologist Dr Guy Berthault.
(Dr Berthault's experiments (www.sedimentology.fr/) and other experiments (www.ianjuby.org/sedimentation/)
Location: Sandown beach, Isle of Wight. Formed 07/12/2017, This field evidence demonstrates that multiple strata in sedimentary deposits do not need millions of years to form and can be formed rapidly. This natural example confirms the principle demonstrated by the sedimentation experiments carried out by Dr Guy Berthault and other sedimentologists. It calls into question the standard, multi-million year dating of sedimentary rocks, and the dating of fossils by depth of burial or position in the strata.
Strata lines/layers and folding and faulting are clearly visible in these photos.
Dr Berthault's experiments (www.sedimentology.fr/) and other experiments (www.ianjuby.org/sedimentation/) and field studies of floods and volcanic action show that, rather than being formed by gradual, slow deposition of sucessive layers superimposed upon previous layers, with the strata or layers representing a timescale or even a particular, environmental epoch, particle segregation in moving water or airborne particles can form strata or layers very quickly, frequently, in a single event. Such field studies and the experiments show that there is no longer any reason to conclude that strata in sedimentary rocks relate to different geological eras and/or a multi-million year timescale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PVnBaqqQw8&feature=share&.... It also shows that the relative position of fossils in rocks is not indicative of an order of evolutionary succession. Obviously, the uniformitarian principle, on which the geologic column is based, can no longer be considered valid. And the multi-million, year dating of sedimentary rocks and fossils needs to be reassessed. Rapid deposition of stratified sediments also explains the enigma of polystrate fossils, i.e. large fossils that intersect several strata. In some cases, tree trunk fossils are found which intersect the strata of sedimentary rock up to forty feet in depth. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Lycopsi... They must have been buried in stratified sediment in a short time (certainly not millions or even thousands of years), or they would have rotted away. youtu.be/vnzHU9VsliQ
In fact, the vast majority of fossils are found in good, intact condition, which is testament to their rapid burial. You don't get good fossils from gradual burial, because they would be damaged or destroyed by decay, predation or erosion. The existence of so many fossils in sedimentary rock on a global scale is stunning evidence for the rapid depostion of sedimentary rock as the general rule. It is obvious that all rock containing good intact fossils was formed from sediment laid down in a very short time, not millions, or even thousands of years.

Carbon dating of coal should not be possible if it is millions of years old, yet significant amounts of Carbon 14 have been detected in coal and other fossil material, which indicates that it is less than 50,000 years old. www.ldolphin.org/sewell/c14dating.html
www.grisda.org/origins/51006.htm
Evolutionists confidently cite multi-million year ages for rocks and fossils, but what most people don't realise is that no one actually knows the age of sedimentary rocks or the fossils found within them. So how are evolutionists so sure of the ages they so confidently quote? The astonishing thing is they aren't. Sedimentary rocks cannot be dated by radiometric methods*, and fossils can only be dated to less than 50,000 years with Carbon 14 dating. The method evolutionists use is based entirely on assumptions. Unbelievably, fossils are dated by the assumed age of rocks, and rocks are dated by the assumed age of fossils, that's right ... it is known as circular reasoning.
* Regarding the radiometric dating of igneous rocks, which is claimed to be relevant to the dating of sedimentary rocks, in an occasional instance there is an igneous intrusion associated with a sedimentary deposit -
Prof. Aubouin says in his Précis de Géologie: "Each radioactive element disintegrates in a characteristic and constant manner, which depends neither on the physical state (no variation with pressure or temperature or any other external constraint) nor on the chemical state (identical for an oxide or a phosphate)."
"Rocks form when magma crystallizes. Crystallisation depends on pressure and temperature, from which radioactivity is independent. So, there is no relationship between radioactivity and crystallisation.
Consequently, radioactivity doesn't date the formation of rocks. Moreover, daughter elements contained in rocks result mainly from radioactivity in magma where gravity separates the heavier parent element, from the lighter daughter element. Thus radiometric dating has no chronological signification." Dr. Guy Berthault www.sciencevsevolution.org/Berthault.htm

The neo-Darwinian idea that the human genome consists entirely of an accumulation of billions of mutations is, quite obviously, completely bonkers. Nevertheless, it is compulsorily taught in schools and universities as 'science'.

marabastad, pretoria. old polaroids and slide scans, around 1980
Marabastad was a culturally diverse community, with the Hindu Mariamman Temple arguably being its most prominent landmark.
Like the residents of other racially diverse areas in South Africa, such as District Six, "Fietas" and Sophiatown, the inhabitants of Marabastad were relocated to single-race townships further away from the city centre.
These removals were due to Apartheid laws like the Group Areas Act. Unlike Sophiatown, Fietas and District Six, it was not bulldozed, but it retained many of its original buildings, and became primarily a business district, with most shops still owned by the Indians who had also lived there previously.
Some property was however owned by the city council and the government, resulting in limited development taking place there. In addition, a large shopping complex was built to house Indian-owned shops.
The black residents of Marabastad were relocated to Atteridgeville (1945),
the Coloured residents to Eersterus (1963), and the Indian residents to Laudium (1968).
There are plans to revive once-picturesque Marabastad, and to reverse years of urban decay and neglect, although few seem to have been implemented as of 2005.
History[edit]
Marabastad was named after the local headman of a village to the west of Steenhoven Spruit. During the 1880s he lived in Schoolplaats and acted as an interpreter.
During this period some Africans lived on the farms where they were being employed and also chose to live on other, undeveloped land. Schoolplaats could also not accommodate all the migrants and this resulted in squatting.
An overflow from Schoolplaats to the north-west and Maraba’s village occurred and in August 1888 the land was surveyed by the government. The location Marabastad was established and was situated between the Apies River in the north, Skinner Spruit in the west, Steenhoven Spruit in the east and De Korte Street in the south.
There were 67 stands varying between 1400 and 2500 square meters each. Residents were not allowed to own stands, but had to rent them from the government at 4 pounds a year.
They were allowed to build their own houses and to plant crops on empty plots. Water was acquired from the various bordering rivers and 58 wells situated in the area.
The township was not private owned and was managed by the Transvaal Boer Republic. At the outbreak of the Second Boer War in 1899 there were no rules and regulations with regard to Marabastad.
Africans who streamed to Pretoria during the war were living in squatter camps near the artillery barracks, the brickworks and the railway stations at Prinshof.
This resulted in the development of ‘New Marabastad’ in the area between Marabastad and the Asiatic Bazaar in 1900 by the British military authorities. They had been occupying the city since June 1900 and resettled refugees in the area. By 1901 there were 392 occupied stands in the New Marabastad and there was no real segregation between Africans, Asians and Coloured people.
Although New Marabastad was intended as a temporary settlement the military authorities granted permission for in their employ to erect brick houses. This resulted in the erection of other permanent structures like schools and churches.
The new Town Council was established in 1902 and it was accepted that the residents of New Marabastad would be moved to other, planned townships.
In 1903 New Marabastad had grown to 412 stands while Old Marabastad still only had 67. Along with the Cape Location, which was situated in the southern part of the Asiatic Bazaar, it fell under the jurisdiction of the City Council of that year.
The greatest problem was the provision of water and this was only addressed after the war. Due to the fear of epidemic all wells in the area had been filled during the war, and a single public tap had replaced the entire system.
New Marabastad didn’t have any wells or taps. There was an attempt to rectify this in 1903 by providing more taps, but the number was still inadequate.
In 1906 New and Old Marabastad became one location.
Rates were determined and sanitary and building regulations came into effect. These regulations didn’t achieve their objections as a result of municipal maladministration and the fact that Africans could not own land and afford well-built permanent houses.
Streets remained unpaved, the water supply was inadequate and there were no sanitary facilities worth mentioning. More and more shacks appeared. By 1907 conditions improved marginally, but the streets were left in their unkempt state and by 1910 this had still not been addressed.
The Native Affairs Department accused the Pretoria Town Council of inefficient administration, which had led directly to this situation.
Removals[edit]
South Africa portal
The relocation of residents of Old Marabastad had been on the agenda of the town council since 1903 and in 1907, when the council decided to build a new sewage farm, it became a reality.
It was decided to remove all residents of the area to a new location further away from the city centre and to demolish the old township. Now followed the struggle of finding a suitable site.
The site on the southern slope of Daspoortrand was decided on in 1912 and in January planning for the ‘New Location’ started. It would include a number of brick houses that could be rented from the municipality.
By September of the same year the first relocations were taking place and demolishing of old structures commenced. It was a slow process and Old Marabastad was only completely destroyed by 1920.
The lack of space remained a problem and New Marabastad was experiencing severe overcrowding.
By 1923 the last houses of the second municipal project was completed in New Location and Marabastad residents who had been exposed to the worst conditions were allowed to move in first.
In 1934 part of the Schoolplaats population was moved to Marabastad and the squatter problem became more severe.
There was no room for expansion due to a lack of space.
An attempt to solve these problems manifested itself in the establishment of Atteridgeville in 1939. The Marabastad community would be moved here and compensation was offered to previous owners of property in the form of new houses they could rent, but not own.
The war slowed down the process considerably, but 1949 had moved three quarters of the population of Marabastad to Atteridgeville, and by 1950 the transition was complete
Less infamous than the Berlin Wall, the inappropriately named "Peace Wall" through West Belfast institutionalises segregation of communities.
In a striking example of natural segregation was shot on Holbox Island in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula where the Carribean Sea meets the Gulf of Mexico.
These Gulls and Cormorants spent large portions of their day their days engaged in this hilarious jockeying to-and-fro for the most desirable pole positions. Entertaining and occasionally, aligned. Birds of a feather really DO stick together, and this sort of natural segregation was quite typical ...

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... They are happily appreciated!
The Henry House Hotel. A sad and shameful part of Ocean City's past. Prior to de-segregation this is were all "colored / black people had to stay when in Ocean City. Many famous black musicians stayed here while in town playing at local hotels and the boardwalk pier.
Children display crudely lettered signs calling for segregated schools as they pose across the street from the Supreme Court Building in Washington, Oct. 7, 1954.
One sign reads: "We Whites want our rights."
The children were demonstrating against attending District of Columbia schools along with black children.
Students at several schools staged strikes and demonstrations against integration. The most serious incidents occurred at Anacostia High School where a gang of white students chased newly admitted black students, staged a school boycott and marched through the city attempting to gain support from other schools.
The District’s integration took place following the Supreme Court’s Bolling v. Sharpe decision in May 1954 that was brought about by the Consolidated Parents Group. Consolidated represented parents and students living along the Benning Road corridor and led a seven year fight that began with a boycott of deplorable conditions at the all black Browne Junior High on Benning Road.

Speaker of the House Henry Thomas Rainey (D-Il.) begins clearing his desk as he waits for word from the Senate as Congress sets to adjourn June 18, 1934.
The session adjourned as Rainey kept from debate or a vote a special committee report addressing Jim Crow at the House of Representatives public restaurant.
Rainey was a prominent American politician during the first third of the 20th century. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1903 to 1921 and from 1923 to his death as a Democrat from Illinois. He is shown here in a 1921 photograph.
He was Speaker of the House during the famous Hundred days of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, and the last Speaker of the House born before the Civil War. He also served briefly as Majority Leader.
Rainey gave the Roosevelt administration carte blanche to do whatever it wanted, allowing almost the entire New Deal to be passed with little or no changes. More reforms were passed during the regular session starting December.
About 90 representatives hailed from the South under Rainey’s speakership—almost enough to tip the balance to the Republicans in the House on any given issue, if they became dissatisfied with Rainey.
When Oscar DePriest (R-Il) challenged the Jim Crow House of Representatives public restaurant in 1934, Rainey insured that the issue never came to a vote where a resolution banning segregation may have passed.
It was Rainey’s way of paying a debt to the “Solid South” for supporting Roosevelt’s New Deal agenda at the expense of African Americans.
