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.

Racial segregation was still legal in the United States on February 1, 1960, when four African American college students sat down at this Woolworth counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Politely asking for service at this “whites only” counter, their request was refused. When asked to leave, they remained in their seats. Their sit-in drew national attention and helped ignite a youth-led movement to challenge inequality throughout the South.
In Greensboro, hundreds of students, civil rights organizations, churches, and members of the community joined in a six-month-long protest. Their commitment ultimately led to the desegregation of the F. W. Woolworth lunch counter on July 25, 1960.
Ezell A. Blair Jr. (now Jibreel Khazan), Franklin E. McCain, Joseph A. McNeil, and David L. Richmond were students enrolled at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College when they began their protest.
Protests such as this led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which finally outlawed racial segregation in public accommodations.
Mother of the Modern Civil Rights Movement
Mrs. Rosa McCauley Parks (1913–2005). She was tired; her feet ached. The year was 1955 in the month of December when this seamstress was returning home on the Cleveland Street bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was ordered to give up her seat to a white man. When she remained seated, that simple decision eventually led to the disintegration of institutionalized segregation in the south, ushering in a new era of the civil rights movement.
The Citizens of Dyersburg, Tennessee gratefully acknowledge how far we’ve come and how much better we can be if we step beyond the shackles of the past.

"Material Classifier/ Density Separator
Reduce landfill cost and create new revenue streams with the EDGE MC1400 density separator. Designed to separate unwanted material from valuable commodities, the EDGE material classifier utilizes the latest advancement in “light V heavy” material separation technology. Incorporating a four stage separation process; the EDGE MC 1400 density separator removes impurities from aggregates, construction and demolition waste and other commingled waste streams.
The use of controlled air as a separation medium provides extreme versatility and greater flexibility to that of mechanical separation techniques. Easy adjustable parameters such as fan speed and feed conveyor belt speed allow operators the ability to customise the unit for optimum production in a wide range of applications. The MC1400s’ large capacity hopper coupled with its 1200mm (48”) wide feeder conveyor provides an even spread of material for efficient separation. The totally enclosed design helps control air flow and minimises air depressurisation whilst minimising dust creation with reduced spillage. .To know more call us at +91-8826413008/8826421172 or mail us at sales@segelindia.com.Visit our website:-www.segelindia.com

Monroe Elementary, completed in 1927, was one of four segregated black schools operating in Topeka. In 1951 a student of Monroe, Linda Brown, and her father, Oliver Brown, became plaintiffs in a legal battle over racial segregation. The case reached the Supreme Court, where it gained the name Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. In 1954 the Supreme Court determined that the segregation of schools was unconstitutional. In 1992 the Monroe School was designated a National Historic Landmark. Now it is a National Parks Service site committed to educating the public about this landmark case in the struggle for civil rights.

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…..

"Week Without Walls"
Segregation and Integration in Hayward and San Francisco
Impact Academy of Arts and Technology, MAP Teacher: Joel Key
Impact Academy is a college prep arts and technology high school located in Hayward. In our second year partnering with World Savvy, 25 students and 2 teachers spent one entire week (we call it "Week Without Walls") studying the single topic of Segregation and Integration in Hayward and San Francisco. World Savvy created custom fieldtrips and curriculum to help us with the exploration of the essential question:
“Are Hayward and San Francisco more integrated or more segregated?”
On Day 1, we explored the history of downtown Hayward by visiting the Hayward Area Historical Society and Museum. We also discussed how our different identities affect if we are friends or not.
On Day 2, we explored South Hayward through the World Savvy “Crossing Borders, Looking Local” fieldtrip and looked for signs of mixing between different cultural and racial groups.
On Day 3, we traveled to the Mission in San Francisco and toured with World Savvy and local mural artist and journalist, Josue Rojas. We learned how mural art helped people in the neighborhoods come together in spite of their differences.
On Day 4, we took a World Savvy fieldtrip on the 22 Fillmore Bus all the way through San Francisco to observe the changes in neighborhoods, and then we went on World Savvy’s Little Saigon fieldtrip and by interviewing locals, discovered what the borders of Little Saigon are in the tenderloin and how subjective they can be.
On the last day, we edited our videos of the week into film. Please enjoy watching our film and learning what we think about segregation and integration in Hayward and San Francisco.
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.

A Pastoral Visit - 1881
Richard Norris Brooke
American, 1847 - 1920
In the 19th century, families often welcomed clergy into their homes, particularly when churches could not afford to offer housing.
Here, Richard Norris Brooke depicts a traditional pastoral visit. The pastor is served dinner first and later receives cloth-wrapped fruit and a cigar box holding the congregation’s weekly contribution. The banjo, an instrument with roots in African culture, suggests that the group enjoyed music after the meal.
Brooke, a white artist painting during the Jim Crow era of segregation and anti-Black racism, did not stereotype or caricature his subjects. He presents a realistic view of this family modeled by his neighbors in Warrenton, Virginia.
Brooke also maintained a studio in Washington, DC, where he taught at the Corcoran School of Art.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC is a world-class art museum that displays one of the largest collections of masterpieces in the world including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 13th century to the present. The National Gallery of Art collection includes an extensive survey of works of American, British, Italian, Flemish, Spanish, Dutch, French and German art. With its prime location on the National Mall, surrounded by the Smithsonian Institution, visitors often think that the museum is a part of the Smithsonian. It is a separate entity and is supported by a combination of private and public funds. Admission is free. The museum offers a wide range of educational programs, lectures, guided tours, films, and concerts.
The original neoclassical building, the West Building includes European (13th-early 20th century) and American (18th-early 20th century) paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions. The National Gallery of Art was opened to the public in 1941 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The original collection of masterpieces was provided by Mellon, who was the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and ambassador to Britain in the 1930s. Mellon collected European masterpieces and many of the Gallery’s original works were once owned by Catherine II of Russia and purchased in the early 1930s by Mellon from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.
The NGA's collection galleries and Sculpture Garden display European and American paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Paintings in the permanent collection date from the Middle Ages to the present. The Italian Renaissance collection includes two panels from Duccio's Maesta, the tondo of the Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi, a Botticelli work on the same subject, Giorgione's Allendale Nativity, Giovanni Bellini's The Feast of the Gods, Ginevra de' Benci (the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas) and groups of works by Titian and Raphael.
The collections include paintings by many European masters, including a version of Saint Martin and the Beggar, by El Greco, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Cranach the Elder, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, among others. The collection of sculpture and decorative arts includes such works as the Chalice of Abbot Suger of St-Denis and a collection of work by Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Other highlights of the permanent collection include the second of the two original sets of Thomas Cole's series of paintings titled The Voyage of Life, (the first set is at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York) and the original version of Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley (two other versions are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Detroit Institute of Arts).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Gallery_of_Art
Andrew W. Mellon, who pledged both the resources to construct the National Gallery of Art as well as his high-quality art collection, is rightly known as the founder of the gallery. But his bequest numbered less than two hundred paintings and sculptures—not nearly enough to fill the gallery’s massive rooms. This, however, was a feature, not a failure of Mellon’s vision; he anticipated that the gallery eventually would be filled not only by his own collection, but also by additional donations from other private collectors. By design, then, it was both Andrew Mellon and those who followed his lead—among them, eight men and women known as the Founding Benefactors—to whom the gallery owes its premier reputation as a national art museum. At the gallery’s opening in 1941, President Roosevelt stated, “the dedication of this Gallery to a living past, and to a greater and more richly living future, is the measure of the earnestness of our intention that the freedom of the human spirit shall go on.”

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.”

Alabama Governor George Wallace is remembered for his "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" speech. This is the text he read from that day.
Spectators line up outside the U.S. Supreme Court December 7, 1953 waiting to hear arguments on five cases that challenged segregation of public schools, including the Bolling v. Sharpe case that affected the District of Columbia.
James Nabritt and George E. C. Hayes made the arguments for the plaintiffs in the Bolling case stressing that the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the so-called “separate but equal” schools.
The argument centered around the plaintiff’s contention that the District’s public schools were inherently unequal because of segregation that deprived African Americans of “liberty” under the Fifth Amendment.
The four other school cases centered on the 14th Amendment’s “equal protection” clause, but the clause only applied to states and not the District of Columbia.
In May 1954, the Court ruled for the plaintiffs in all five cases, reversing the 1896 decision of Plessy v. Ferguson and outlawing so-called “separate but equal” schools.

An artifact of the time when commuter trains could switch from platform-level boarding to ground-level boarding. South Shore Line trains can still do that because half of the stations are ground-level, but all Metra Electric stations have raised platforms, rendering this function of necessary.
In any case - back in the old days, if the train had to stop at one of the outer tracks for some reason, it could just open one of the doors and drop off the passengers on this boarding walkway.
My Great Great Grandmother, Maggie Spain Rice. Born in 1885 in Iredell County, NC to Betty Campbell and Wash Spain, she was of mixed black and Indian heritage. Around 1905, at the age of 19, she married 41 year old former slave, Tom Rice, and they became share croppers in rural Rowan, County NC, around the town of Cleveland, NC. To their marriage was born 10 children, whom reflecting their parents mixed ancestry ranged in color from light yellow (Aunt Laura or "Laur" as she was called) to dark coffee (Great Grandfather David or "Paw-paw Rice" as we called him". A strict, but loving women, Maggie raised her children from a young age, to live with the love and fear of God, and a great appreciation for life itself. After her husbands death in the 1920's, she became a Domestic aka Maid. Living in Jim Crow North Carolina, she had few other options, and did her best to continue to provide for her large family. She died in 1949 at the age of 63. Interestingly enough, she died on a Thursday, was buried on a Saturday morning, her daughter, Lena died that same Saturday night, and was buried the following Monday.
Interesting fact, she had an accident in life that caused the removed of one of her legs, which resulted in her having a peg leg!
Rep. James O’Hanlon Patterson (D-S.C.) studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1886. He commenced practice in Barnwell, South Carolina.
Patterson was a probate judge of Barnwell County, South Carolina 1888–1892 and a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives 1899–1904.
He was elected as a Democrat to the Fifty-ninth, Sixtieth, and Sixty-first Congresses (March 4, 1905 – March 3, 1911).
While in Washington, D.C. he was outraged by an interracial couple that was seated in the House of Representatives public restaurant.
“However I refrained, by an effort, from making an unseemly exhibition of myself and sought the manager of the restaurant for an explanation.”
“To my astonishment, he told me that the portion of the restaurant set aside for the general public was free to anybody who wished to be served, regardless of color and that he was powerless to prevent such an exhibition of social equality as that which so enraged me.”
He was unsuccessful at that time in imposing Jim Crow within the U.S. Capitol. That would occur a few years after he left Congress in 1911.
After leaving Congress, he resumed the practice of his profession in Barnwell, South Carolina where he died on October 25, 1911.
