“James Howard Meredith (born June 25, 1933) is an American civil rights activist, writer, political adviser, and United States Air Force veteran who became, in 1962, the first African-American student admitted to the racially segregated University of Mississippi after the intervention of the federal government (an event that was a flashpoint in the civil rights movement). Inspired by President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, Meredith decided to exercise his constitutional rights and apply to the University of Mississippi. His goal was to put pressure on the Kennedy administration to enforce civil rights for African Americans. The admission of Meredith ignited the Ole Miss riot of 1962 where Meredith's life was threatened and 31,000 American servicemen were required to quell the violence – the largest ever invocation of the Insurrection Act of 1807. “

Reflections in Black and White exhibit - Cape Fear Museum - January 30, 2017 - New Hanover County, NC
Reflections in Black and White, features a selection of informal black and white photographs taken by black and white Wilmingtonians after World War II before the Civil Rights movement helped end legalized segregation. Visitors will have a chance to compare black and white experiences and reflect on what people’s lives were like in the region during the latter part of the Jim Crow era.
Examine mid-century cameras and photographic equipment and experience the “thrill” of opening a replica camera store photo envelope, a rare experience in today’s digital world. Flip through some recreated pages from Claude Howell’s scrapbooks, and take your own photograph in a 1950s setting.
Reflections in Black and White features selections from four large photographic collections:
•African American photographer Herbert Howard was a postal worker, a member of the NAACP, and a semi-professional photographer. Cape Fear Museum has a collection of more than 1,000 images he took documenting Wilmington’s black community.
•Artist Claude Howell left an extensive collection of scrapbooks to the Museum. The albums include hundreds of pages with photographs of Howell’s friends, local scenery, and people.
•Student nurse Elizabeth Ashworth attended the James Walker Memorial Hospital School of Nursing right after World War II. Her photographs provide a glimpse of a group of young white women’s lives in the late 1940s.
•In 2012, the Museum acquired a collection of photos that were taken in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and left at the Camera Shop, a downtown business that was a fixture from the late 1910s through the early 1980s.
Historian Jan Davidson explained why the concept behind the exhibit: “The different historical images speak to each other in some fascinating ways. Most of us can see our own lives reflected in the images, We all eat, hang out with friends, and many of us have taken silly pictures of ourselves or our loved ones. These images show our common humanity, and allow us to relate to people in the past as we might relate to a friend.”
Cape Fear Museum hopes the exhibit will spark reflection and conversation about the history of race relations. Davidson states, “When you look at these images as a group, they give us a chance to reflect on how legally-sanctioned racial segregation helped shape people’s daily lives. We want today’s visitors to have a chance to imagine what it felt like to live in a world where Jim Crow laws and attitudes deeply affected the textures of daily life.”

We didn't have much time to explore and there isn't a lot of information, but this small neighborhood was on the grounds of the original Tule Lake Segregation Center (internment camp). The local museum says many of the original barracks were reused after the war and I assume all these houses were originally barracks at the camp.

The Segregation wall streches for miles all around Palestine. It separates villages and towns, families, and friends, more importantly it separates Israel and Palestine. Is seperation ever really the way forward?

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.

This school was used back in the day for the residents of Eloy. Apparently Eloy was the first town in Arizona to desegregate, but this larger school house was for the whites and Mexican-Americans and the smaller school house was for the African-Americans. Even the brown people had to be separated, who knew.

Bethel Baptist Church in the Collegeville neighborhood of Birmingham (AL) served as headquarters from 1956 to 1961 for the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR), which was led by Fred Shuttlesworth and active in the Birmingham during the Civil Rights Movement.
The ACMHR focused on legal and nonviolent direct action against segregated accommodations, transportation, schools and employment discrimination. It played a crucial role in the 1961 Freedom Ride that resulted in federal enforcement of U.S. Supreme Court and Interstate Commerce Commission rulings to desegregate public transportation.
Fred Shuttlesworth served as pastor from 1953 to 1961. The church buildings were bombed on three separate occasions, first on December 25, 1956, again on June 29, 1958, and lastly on December 14, 1962.
The church complex was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on November 13, 1996.
It was then added to the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark on April 5, 2005.

This is set in the racially divided 'Jim Crow' America of 1955 and confronts Lovecraft's racism head on. Lots of segregation and hate in it.
The protagonist is a descendant of slaves, a Korean War veteran and an sf fan who it transpires is also the last of a line descended from an illegitimate son of a 19th C Lovecraftian-style magician/wizard! The white descendants run an evil cult and need to perform horrific rites to restore them to their rightful position!
Not read Matt Ruff for a few years; Bad Monkeys was the last I read back in 2007.
edit: That was slightly annoying! Lovecraft Country is composed as a set of linked short stories rather than a continuous narrative. I got 100+ pages in and was really enjoying the story, wondering where it would go next, when it stopped! And the next one took up one of the characters three months later in a completely different story. (Which is good, too.)
It's very good but I had expected the original story line to continue rather having the plot switch like it did.
In any case, it's probably the best book I've read this year, so far.

This is the interior view of the Brentsville School. A one room schoolhouse in the unincorporated area of Brentsville in Prince William County. There was a coal burning stove in the middle of the room. This school house educated children in grades 1-5 within a 3 mile radius with almost all students walking to school. The larger desks were reserved for the older students. Before this school house opened in 1928, the Brentsville Courthouse (next door) was used as a classroom. Students in the Brentsville area attended school here until 1944. Like all public schools of this period, the Brentsville School was segregated.
