A FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE
1961, and in the United States George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration and fierce supporter of the civil rights movement, boards a Greyhound bus in Washington with Verena, an employee of Martin Luther King whom he is in love with, to protest against segregation.
A RISING TIDE OF DANGER
In East Germany, teacher Rebecca Hoffmann finds her entire life has been a lie as she is targeted by the secret police, even as her younger brother, Walli, dreams of escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain. In Russia, activist Tania Dvorkin narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news-sheet, her actions all the more perilous because her brother, Dimka, is an emerging star of the Communist Party.
A COLD WAR THAT COULD ELIMINATE THE WORLD FOREVER
In a sweeping tale that began in 1911, the descendants of five families will now find their true destiny as they fight for their individual freedom in a world facing the mightiest clash of superpowers it has ever seen.
There is a TV drama forthcoming on WowWow TV on racial discrimination, segregation versus integration issues. Here is a collection of cast members taken in between production shooting. It was perfect weather as well being an unusually warm day (19ºC) for early February. Every one seemed to enjoy themselves, except there was a lot of excess standing, so our legs became quite tired and sore.
Shoot location was Showa Memorial Park near Nishi Tachikawa Station, Tokyo, Japan. Anyone who is a subscriber to Wow Wow and is interested in viewing the movie, please send me a personal message. Cheers…..

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.

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.”

The “COMMUNIST TRAINING SCHOOL” CONTROVERSY
Many "state's rights" and pro-segregation groups were fond of repeating the assertion that Martin Luther King Jr. once "attended a Communist training school" --- which was meant to be a reference to King's attendance at a 1957 Labor Day weekend seminar at Highlander Folk School in Monteagle TN.
The Birch Society and its front-group, Truth About Civil Turmoil, plastered the country with billboards and postcards showing a photo of King "attending a Communist training school". Governors (like Ross Barnett of MS) repeated the charge in testimony before Congress. Many Congressmen inserted remarks into the Congressional Record which described Highlander in that same fashion.
The attack upon Highlander Folk School was part of a larger effort to discredit and demonize anyone connected to the civil rights movement in the United States -- and in particular to our most prominent national civil rights organizations.
Controversial billboard labels MLK a Republican
October 2012
“Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican. VOTE REPUBLICAN!” the controversial billboard reads from above Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Dallas, Texas.
TheHuffington Post reports that this voter registration tactic is nothing new, having been used before in Austin and Houston in 2009. The ads are the work of Claver Kamau-Imani, a Houston, Texas church leader and the founder of RagingElephants.org. His organization works to encourage African Americans to make the switch to the Republican Party.
But despite these claims, there has yet to be any evidence suggesting King was affiliated with the Republican Party.
“Martin Luther King may have very well believed in some of the Christian principles of the Republican Party, but Dr. Martin Luther King was not a Republican or a Democrat,” Quanell X, the leader of a local Texas New Black Panther Party chapter told Fox News in 2009, when Kamau-Imani first put up a billboard.
“[He] would not be with the party of Newt Gingrich. He would not be with the party of Sarah Palin. He would not be with the party of Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage or Sean Hannity,” Quanell X also said.
Rep. Cyrus Sulloway (R-N.H.) served as a U.S. representative from New Hampshire who served from 1895-1913 and 1915-1919.
Sulloway was a veteran of the Civil War who practiced law before becoming involved in politics. He was a classic Republican, upholding the rights of African Americans, but a protectionist in regards to goods produced overseas.
During his congressional career he headed the committee that oversaw Civil War pensions, insuring that former soldiers received their benefits.
Sulloway outraged the white supremacists during the period when Jim Crow spread across the nation because in 1902 he:
“…almost daily has as his guest in the House [of Representatives] restaurant his negro messenger, and the two, sitting at one table, break bread together and discuss the questions of the day.”

From the late 19th through the mid-20th centuries, segregation laws in Southern states separated African Americans and whites in almost every aspect of public life -- from railroad cars and schools to restrooms and drinking fountains. Varying from state to state, these laws were supposed to establish facilities that were "separate but equal." In reality, these were almost never equal.
Defending Freedom, Defining Freedom: The Era of Segregation, 1876-1968, part of the the History Galleries, explores the years following the end of Reconstruction to show how the nation struggled to define the status of African Americans.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, was established in December 2003 and opened its permanent home in September 2016. The 350,000-square-foot, 10-story (five above and five below ground) was built to the postmodern design of Phil Freelon's Freelon Group, Sir David Adjaye's Adjaye Associates and Davis Brody Bond. The above ground floors feature an inverted step pyramid surrounded by a bronze architectural scrim, which reflects a crown used in Yoruba culture. With more than 40,000 objects in its collection, although only about 3,500 items are on display, the NMAAHC is the world's largest museum dedicated to African-American history and culture.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.

Sign 2: "6544 CASES OF VENEREAL DISEASE AMONG NEGROES OF MEMPHIS IN ONE YEAR"
"MEMPHIS,[Saturday]Aug.31--MARCH AND COUNTER MARCH--A group of Negro marchers protesting school board policies were met by white counter marchers during a double demonstration here today. The Negroes, estimated at about 600, and some 50 whites marched side-by-side through the busy Main Street shopping district without incident."
More copy accompanying photo in another paper: "Sunday, Sept 1-MEMPHIS, Tenn.-About 500 Negroes staged the largest racial demonstration in Memphis' history yesterday to protest crowded school conditions and the Negroes' quickening desegregation drive flared in several other cities across the nation. ... The Memphis demonstration was sparked by a school board decision to require two shifts of classes in five Negro schools, a move which Negro leaders termed an attempt to shackle Negroes "within educational ghettos." The Negroes marched into the downtown section. About 50 whites formed in a counter-protest march but there were no incidents."
Memphis' black student enrollment soared in the early 1960s as many moved from surrounding rural areas to the city and the segregated all-black schools became increasingly overcrowded. Memphis had decided to integrate slowly, beginning in the 1960-61 school year with a total of 13 black students allowed to enroll at four previously all-white schools. The next year, a total of 53 black students attended seven previously all-white schools in grades 1-3. For the 1963-64 school year, a total of 258 black students were to attend 14 previously all-white schools in grades 1-4. Rather than further speed up integration to alleviate overcrowding at many black high schools, those schools were placed on double-shifts, with some students starting school at 7 AM, and others starting at 9 AM. This wreaked havoc with parents' schedules and made participation in extra-curricular activities difficult. The NAACP, perceiving the issue to be one of preserving segregation, led a boycott of the double-shift schools in 1963. The School Board responded to by announcing one white high school would also be placed on a double-shift the following year.
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.

According to my Grandmother, this occasion was my Great Uncle David, Lillies oldest son, graduation from High School. Every time she see's this picture, the first thing that comes out her mouth is "Lord them hats sure was ugly" lol!
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?
