The Lorraine Motel is the site of the assassination of civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. and now home to the National Civil Rights Organization.
In the days of legal segregation, the Lorraine was one of the few hotels in Memphis open to black guests. Its location, walking distance from Beale Street, the main street of Memphis' black community, made it attractive to visiting celebrities. When Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, or Nat Cole, came to town, they stayed at the Lorraine.
In March 1968, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King visited Memphis to support the city's striking garbage collectors. He checked into the Lorraine, and led a march that, despite his policy of non-violence. turned violent. A second march was then planned.
On April 3, in a speech at Memphis Mason Temple, Dr. King said "We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountain top. I won't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life."
Dr. King was assassinated at the Lorraine the next night, as he stood on the balcony outside room 306, on the motel's second floor.
The official account of the shooting named a single assassin, James Earl Ray, who fired one shot from the top floor of a rooming house whose rear windows overlooked the motel.
Many believed that Dr. King was the victim of a conspiracy involving the Memphis police department, the FBI, and the U.S. Army. His opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam war, and plans for massive protests, in the name of his Poor People's Campaign, calling attention to poverty in America, have been cited as reasons.

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.

by Andy Warhol
Acrylic paint and screenprint on canvas
In this painting Warhol used three photographs of a police dog attacking an African American man. The images were taken by Charles Moore and first published in Life magazine on 17 May 1963. They documented the non-violent direct action by civil rights demonstrators seeking to remove racial segregation in Birmingham Alabama. While the term 'race riot' was commonly used at the time, it is more accurate to refer to it as a race protest. The painting presents the oppression of African American citizens and police brutality, but it brings up questions about Warhol's decision as a white artist to depict Black suffering. Was the image of violence being used to shock or to promote social commentary, attempting to bring news imagery into the rarefied space of the gallery? Some have suggested that Warhol's desire to call his 1964 exhibition in Paris 'Death in America', in which this work was exhibited, was a comment on a United States that appeared to be falling apart.

Andy Warhol
(March – November 2020)
A new look at the extraordinary life and work of the pop art superstar
Andy Warhol was the son of immigrants who became an American icon. A shy gay man who became the hub of New York’s social scene. An artist who embraced consumerism, celebrity and the counter culture – and changed modern art in the process.
He was born in 1928 as Andrew Warhola to working-class parents from present day Slovakia. In 1949 he moved from Pittsburgh to New York. Initially working as a commercial illustrator, his skill at transforming the imagery of American culture soon found its realisation in his ground-breaking pop art.
This major retrospective is the first Warhol exhibition at Tate Modern for almost 20 years. As well as his iconic pop images of Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola and Campbell’s soup cans, it includes works never seen before in the UK. Twenty-five works from his Ladies and Gentlemen series – portraits of black and Latinx drag queens and trans women – are shown for the first time in 30 years.
Popularly radical and radically popular, Warhol was an artist who reimagined what art could be in an age of immense social, political and technological change.

The Art Moderne style Greyhound Bus Station was built in 1937. Outstanding features are the rounded corners, an exterior of smooth blue enamel panels and glass block windows. The Art Moderne style was widely used in the design of Greyhound bus stations during the 1930s in a period now called Greyhound's "blue period."
Starting in May 1961, Freedom Riders began arriving on Greyhound buses at the station to challenge racial segregation in interstate travel and accommodations. When the Freedom Riders tried to use facilities at the station that were denied them, they were arrested, convicted of "breach of Peace" and jailed. In 1961, between May 24 and September 13, 329 people were arrested in Jackson for attempting to integrate public transportation facilities. Most refused bail and were sent to the state penitentiary. The jailing of protesters and their refusal of bail, drew more attention and outrage to the situation. In September 1961, the federal Interstate Commerce Commission mandated that segregation in interstate transportation end. The former Greyhound Bus Station building is in the Farish Street Neighborhood Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is contributing property.

La ségrégation est là et on est mis au parfum dès l'entrée du musée. Le billet d'entrée vous donne la couleur et la porte à utiliser.
Segregation is there and we are on the ball as soon as we enter the museum. The entrance ticket gives you the color and the gate to use.

I feel a great debt to Harry Truman. He had to make two momentous decisions, both involving the military.
One was the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, which, by military estimates, shortened WWII in the Pacific by at least two years. The Japanese just would not stop fighting!
The second caused a firestorm as big or bigger than the ones at Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- he signed Executive Order 9981, which integrated the United States military after 170 years of segregation and laid the groundwork for the civil rights and women's rights movements to come.
There's a quote from then-Governor Strom Thurmond of South Carolina which illustrates how unpopular that decision was at the time, and still is, in some quarters.
"There are not enough troops in the Army to force the Southern people to admit the Negroes into our theaters, swimming pools and homes -- we have been stabbed in the back by a President who has betrayed every principle of the Democratic party in his desire to win at any cost."
So, Southern Negroes weren't "people", Senator? That's nice to know. And isn't it interesting how President Obama is being accused of betraying our country's principles simply because he wants everyone, not just the wealthy or people with generous full-time employers, to have access to affordable health insurance.
And we now know that, despite his segregationist pronouncements, Thurmond was a complete hypocrite. He admitted at least one female Negro servant into his bed -- and an out-of-wedlock daughter was the result.

Two ball chains (the kind you find on light switches or inside toilets) are shaken on a slot-shaped horizontal plate. The shaking provides something like temperature and the chains are something like 2D self-avoiding polymers. But they do sometimes cross themselves. The two chains are each 76 cm long and identical except that they are colored red and blue. After a while, they spontaneously separate from each other and wind themselves into two tight spirals, which then interact.
The shaking frequency was 20Hz. The pictures are taken 5s apart and animated at 12fps, so each second of the movie is 60 seconds of real time.

This shop, located in Jerusalem's Geula neighborhood, had several small seating areas behind dividers with no sign. I saw mixed groups eating there. But here, on the other side of the shop, was a room with a sign above it that read: "This room for men only."
To be fair, the segregation may not be of the owner's free will, but something that is imposed on him from without.

Wasting the City! A box for a box
There it goes! The Frappant Building in Hamburg Altona is teared down to build a new City Ikea. Wide range and long protest didn't help. People are not only scared that the new massive Ikea-Store in the residential area of Hamburg-Altona will bring way more traffic into the area, but also that Ikea is part of the gentrification that starts with higher rents and ends with residential segregation. At the end of the day..a box will be replaced by an even bigger box.

This photo shows a sign for a "colored waiting room", which is something that students may not recognize. The teacher should explain to students that before the Civil Rights Movement, many parts of the United States were segregated and African Americans were not allowed to interact with whites. The students couldwrite a reaction to this in their journals, comparing and contrasting that time period with the present. Would this ever happen today? What would people do if a sign like this was seen our our town?
This image will probably give students a sense of injustice, and it would also be a great way to introduce a unit about Martin Luther King, Jr. or the Civil Rights Movement.

Manchester Victoria Baths, Females Pool
Segregation in swimming and bathing both by gender and by class was normal procedure at the beginning of the twentieth century. Where an establishment had only one or two pools, segregation would take place by giving each class of user a different day of the week. At Victoria Baths, there were three separate entrances, separate swimming pools and separate wash baths for Males 1st Class, Males 2nd Class and Females.
Each of the three pools at Victoria Baths was Olympic length (25 yards) but they differed in width; the Females pool, at 30 feet, being the narrowest.
The water for Victoria Baths came from a well which was specially sunk for the establishment. It has been said that the water was first used to fill the Males 1st Class pool, then it was returned to the water tanks, filtered, aerated, re-heated and used again in the Males 2nd Class pool before being recycled again and used in the Females pool! Certainly there was equipment which enabled water to be pumped between the three pools and the water tanks situated on top of the boiler house and filter room
Whether or not this story is true, having the smallest pool, and 3rd-hand water did not prevent swimming from becoming a popular activity for women and girls in the early part of the 20th century.
Mixed bathing was introduced with great caution in 1914 and by the 1920s mixed bathing sessions were held every Sunday morning enabling families to swim together for the first time
In the fall of 1947, Martin Luther King delivered his first sermon at the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Ebenezer’s congregation voted to license King as a minister soon afterward, and he was ordained in February 1948. King went on to serve as Ebenezer’s associate minister during his breaks from Crozer Theological Seminary and from his doctoral studies at Boston University School of Theology through early 1954. He returned as co-pastor with his father, Martin Luther King, Sr., serving from 1960 until his assassination in 1968.
The church was founded in 1886 by its first minister, John Andrew Parker. In 1894 Alfred Daniel Williams, King, Jr.’s maternal grandfather, became Ebenezer’s second pastor. Under Williams the church grew from 13 members to nearly 750 members by 1913. Williams moved the church twice before purchasing a lot on the corner of Auburn Avenue and Jackson Street and, announced plans to raise $25,000 for a new building that would include an auditorium and gallery seating for 1,250 people. In March 1914 the Ebenezer congregation celebrated the groundbreaking for its new building. After the death of Williams in 1931, King, Sr., who had married Williams’ daughter Alberta in 1926, became pastor.
With King, Sr. as pastor and his wife, Alberta Williams King, serving as musical director, the King family spent much of their time at Ebenezer. King, Jr. later described how his earliest relationships were formed at church: ‘‘My best friends were in Sunday School, and it was the Sunday School that helped me to build the capacity for getting along with people’’ (Papers 1:359). While in seminary, King often preached at Ebenezer. He delivered some of his most enduring sermons for the first time at Ebenezer, including ‘‘The Dimensions of a Complete Life,’’ ‘‘What Is Man?’’ and ‘‘Loving Your Enemies.’’
After King accepted the pastorate at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, members of Ebenezer’s congregation attended his October 1954 installation service, prompting King to express his gratitude: ‘‘Your prayers and words of encouragement have meant a great deal to me in my ministry; and you can never know what your presence in such large numbers meant to me at the beginning of my pastorate. I want you to know Ebenezer, that I feel greatly indebted to you; and that whatever success I might achieve in my life’s work you will have helped to make it possible’’ (Papers 2:314).
In November 1959, King accepted Ebenezer’s call to join his father as co-pastor, a move that brought him closer to the headquarters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. His first sermon as copastor at Ebenezer was ‘‘The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life.’’ After King’s assassination in 1968, his brother, A. D. Williams King, was installed as Ebenezer’s co-pastor. King, Sr. continued as pastor until 1975, and Coretta Scott King continued to attend services at Ebenezer until her death.

This burial site (remains of a Jewish cemetery) was discovered recently while building a modern underground parking lot in the City of Seville, Spain. It is thought that the burial took place from the late 13th to the late 15th century. The site is now protected by and can be seen through a glass window. Next to the window is an explanation written in Spanish that, to the best of my ability to translate, reads...."this structure was a simple brick funerary pit ('Lucillo' type). The body was laid supine in the coffin without dowry and faced towards the east".
Before the mid-fourteenth century, the Jewish population of Seville lived in what is now the barrio of Santa Cruz. Under various regimes, they experienced different amounts of religious persecution and political and economic discrimination. Under Muslim rule Jews and Christians were allowed to practice their religion in private, maintain their social organization and regulate their communities using their own laws. After the Christian "reconquista" of Spain, Seville's Jewish population was segregated, forced to live in the ghetto of Santa Cruz, behind large iron gates whose closure signaled the end of Jewish curfew. At the end of the fourteenth century, during an era of war, economic crisis, and widespread plague, the Jews of Santa Cruz were the victims of a pogrom (a riot aimed at persecution on the basis of religion). Blaming Seville's Jews for the city's social, economic, and political problems, the lower sectors of the Catholic Church attacked Santa Cruz, completely destroying the population and infrastructure of the community. Little of this political and religious violence is evident in Santa Cruz today. The churches, most of which were once synagogues, lack any mention of the area's Jewish history. The clean, whitewashed buildings bear no resemblance to the burned skeletons of houses that existed after the pogram. The seventy some Jewish families residing in Seville today do not live in Santa Cruz.
Little Rock Central High School (LRCHS) is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. Central High School was the site of forced school desegregation after the US Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. This was during the period of heightened activism in the Civil Rights Movement. Central is located at the intersection of Daisy L. Gatson Bates Drive (named for the civil rights leader and formerly known as 14th Street) and Park Street.
In 1927 at a cost of $1.5 million (USD), the city completed construction on the nation's largest and most expensive high school facility, which remains in use today. In 1953 with the construction of Hall High School, the school was renamed as Little Rock Central High School. It has since been listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and named as a U.S. National Historic Landmark and National Historic Site.
On November 6, 1998, Congress established Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site. The National Historic Site is administered in partnership with the National Park Service, Little Rock Public Schools, the City of Little Rock, and others.
The Visitor Center for the site is located diagonally across the street from the school and across from the memorial dedicated by Michael Warrick, and opened in fall 2006. It contains a captioned interpretive film on the Little Rock integration crisis, as well as multimedia exhibits on both that and the larger context of desegregation during the 20th century and the Civil Rights Movement.
Opposite the Visitor Center to the west is the Central High Commemorative Garden, which features nine trees and benches that honor the students. Arches that represent the school's facade contain embedded photographs of the school in years since the crisis, and showcase students of various backgrounds in activities together.
Opposite the Visitor Center to the south is a historic Mobil gas station, which has been preserved in its appearance at the time of the crisis. At the time, it served as the area for the press and radio and television reporters. It later served as a temporary Visitor Center before the new one was built.

in this autobiographical scene from 1944/45, Ybor City-born artist Ferdie Pacheco provides a reminder of the Jim Crow era of petty racial segregation that applied throughout the Southern US states. Despite being a recipient of the Purple Heart for bravery, this wounded soldier is obliged to sit in the Coloureds section of the TECO streetcar. The young Ferdie, in baseball gear, shows solidarity by sitting with him, but an irate trolley conductor demands that Ferdie takes his place in his own designated section.
