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.

My Great Grandma, Lillie Rice and Grandma, Ophelia Rice Steward sitting in the living room of the families farm house in rural Cabarrus County, NC.
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?

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.

Nettie Hunt and her daughter Nickie sit on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. Nettie explains to her daughter the meaning of the high court's ruling in the Brown Vs. Board of Education case that segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. 1935 Washington, DC, USA
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.

Londonderry West Bank Loyalists Still Under Seige - No Surrender; Protestant populated Fountain Estate enclave, Derry-Londonderry, Northern Ireland
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.
