This painting entitled 'Segregation' deals with isolation between different ethnicities. The style in which I have painted was inspired by the artist Paul Gauguin who focusses on colours to depict an emotion or feel to the piece. The painting is simplistic but has a very strong message behind it.

This is an image of a sculpture and civil rights monument that rests at Kelly Ingram Park adjacent to the 16th Street Baptist Church!
I met a man here named Johnny Walker near the fire hose sculpture who explained to me that he and his sister were a part of the demonstration that day in 1963 and that they were hosed down.....his sister was confined for the night in one of those makeshift jails! He had to reluctantly report this to his grandmother who wasn't too happy about them sneaking off and possibly getting hurt....but proud that they stood up for the cause!
Johnny directed me to shoot the jail sculpture from behind the bars to enable one to see the words "I ain't afraid of your jail"
As we visited I noticed he had a funeral bulletin in his hand with a womans portrait on the front! She had a big smile, like her brother, and he showed it to me.....his sister had just passed away 3 days ago after another kind of battle.....with cancer!
Another man I met exclaimed to be a self appointed tour guide of the park and proceeded to instruct me to also shoot the jail monument from the rear where you will see the words "Segregation Is A Sin" upside down! He mumbled something about it being written in blood that day!

The organisers of the Gatwick No Borders Camp demonstrate an innovative approach to litter segregation.
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…..

Metal windows and skylights brighten classrooms at Eastview Elementary School in Americus, Georgia. From Stevens and Wilkinson, Selected Works (Atlanta), [1958], 106.[Extracted from "Equalization Schools in Georgia's African-American Communities, 1951-1970" by Steven Moffson, Historic Preservation Division, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, 2010.]
This commemorates a bloody battle that took place in June 1943. What is unusual is that it was American Forces against fellow Americans. Also, it took place in England, in the relatively quiet town of Bamber Bridge.
Segregation between black and white servicemen was still in force in 1943 and that was behind the problem. One black serviceman was killed in the incident and after a Court Marshal several of the black Americans were sentenced to prison and some white officers were replaced.
Today the pub is still there and recently a commemorative plaque has been erected - see my photo.

The Northwest Historic District is significant under Criterion A as the center of the segregated black community of West Palm Beach, Florida from 1915 to 1941. The District's history reflects the development of a black community in south Florida during the first half of the 20th century.
The person credited as the first black settler in present day Palm Beach County, Willie Melton, arrived in the Lake Worth area in 1885. More black pioneers followed soon after, most migrating from the Deep South and the Bahamas. Many toiled as field laborers on local pineapple and vegetable farms, while others worked in the fledgling tourist industry. The early black population lived in a small settlement called the Styx, which was located on the east side of Lake Worth in what is now Palm Beach.
When Henry Flagler announced his plans to extend the Florida East Coast Railroad through Palm Beach, blacks from all over the southeast moved to the area in search of work. In 1894, as Palm Beach was being transformed into an exclusive resort community, Flagler decided to move the Styx community across Lake Worth to West Palm Beach. The relocation of the Styx community to the newly platted town of West Palm Beach in 1894 was haphazard. As in other Florida cities, the black population congregated together in areas where land owners were willing to rent or sell property to them. The black settlement in West Palm Beach was located north of the town and west of the Florida East Coast Railroad tracks near what is now the intersection of Tamarind Avenue and First Street. Known as the Northwest Neighborhood, the settlement soon spread as far south as Evernia Street, and as far north as Fifth Avenue, (now Seventh Street), west of the F.E.C. railroad tracks. During the 1910s, it grew northward, joining with a smaller black settlement known as Pleasant City. Pleasant City was located between what are now Eighteenth and Twenty-third Streets, and North Dixie Highway and the Florida East Coast Railroad tracks. Though the two areas overlapped, they continued as separate communities and the Northwest Neighborhood remained the larger of the two.
By 1915, the Northwest Neighborhood was the center of the city's black community. Segregated from the white community, the black population established its own social institutions: churches, social clubs, schools, businesses, and residential areas. The fact that most of the homes and businesses in the Neighborhood were owned by blacks was a source of pride. In addition, majority of the buildings in the area were constructed by black builders: Simeon Mather, R.A. Smith, J. B. Woodside, Alfred Williams, and Samuel O. Major. The city's first black architect, Hazel Augustus, designed many of the Neighborhood's buildings between the late 1910s and his death in an automobile accident in 1925. Examples of his work include Payne Chapel at 801 Ninth Street, his home at 615 Division Street (demolished), 815 Sixth Street, and 701 Ninth Street.
During the economic prosperity of the Land Boom (c. 1924 – 1926), job opportunities attracted large numbers of blacks from all over the country to West Palm Beach. Jobs were plentiful, especially in construction and farm labor, and encouraged a stable economy. A number of businesses were started or expanded in the Neighborhood during this period: beauty parlors, laundries, funeral homes, grocery stores and tailor shops, among others. Many of these were initially operated out of private homes but later grew into large-scale commercial operations.

Also called "guard railings", presumably to guard peds against motor traffic, these just spare drivers the inconvenience of looking out for peds. At the same time, they prevent peds from crossing the road where they want to, and make them slalom around a traffic island in the middle (this often, means as a ped you need two traffic light phases to cross one road!).

A flyer announcing a “Mass Meeting” Friday, October 20, 1944 at the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, Washington, D.C. is issued by The Institute on Race Relations.
The Institute, headed by Tomlinson Todd from 1941-51, was a “one-man pressure organization if there ever was one,” according to Ernest E. Johnson of the Associated Negro Press. Todd lobbied, held mass meetings, sponsored speakers and hosted a radio show on WOOK called American All in Washington, DC attempting to desegregate public accommodations like restaurants and theatres, all while holding a day job at the U.S. Bureau of Engraving.
Todd was credited by veteran civil rights leader Mary Church Terrell with uncovering Washington, D.C. so-called “lost laws” from 1872 and 1873 that prohibited discrimination in public accommodations.
The laws were dropped from the statue book in 1901, but were not repealed. They continued to be enforced up until 1912. However, this was the period in which Jim Crow was being imposed in the federal government and in other facets of life in the District of Columbia and the laws were not enforced thereafter.
Despite his discovery of these old laws, Todd didn’t put all his eggs in one basket and prevailed upon U.S. Rep. William A Rowen (D-IL) and U.S. Sen. Warren Barbour (R-NJ) to introduce bills in 1943 that would prohibit discrimination in public accommodations in the District of Columbia. He hoped that Congress would act in the District of Columbia when they weren’t prepared to act nationwide—much like Congress ended slavery and granted the right to vote to Black males in Washington, D.C. prior to do so nationwide.
The bills were bottled up in committee, so Todd was lobbying to secure enough congressional signatures for a discharge petition that would force a floor vote.
He was using the mass meetings as one tool to put pressure on Congress to act. The effort was ultimately unsuccessful.
In this flyer, Todd cites the incident of a “one-legged colored soldier of this war [WWII] who was actually refused a cup of coffee in Thompson’s Restaurant.” Thompson’s was a national chain that was desegregated in the north, but refused to serve Black clientele at its restaurants in the south, including Washington, D.C.
Mary Church Terrell took up the fight to enforce the “lost laws” in 1948, forming a Coordinating Committee for Enforcement of the D.C. Anti-Discrimination Laws (CCEDA). In early 1950, Terrell and other civil rights activists sought service at the same Thompson’s at 725 14th Street NW that refused service to the Black war veteran. The group was refused service and sued. The technicality of the law required the city to sue and Terrell persuaded the District government to do so.
In 1953, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the 1873 law and restaurants throughout the city then largely desegregated along with movie theaters. A year later the Bolling v. Sharpe US Supreme Court decision ended legal segregation of public schools. Actual desegregation remained a fight into modern times, with some gains being reversed in contemporary times.

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 peopleâs 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 âthrillâ of opening a replica camera store photo envelope, a rare experience in todayâs digital world. Flip through some recreated pages from Claude Howellâs scrapbooks, and take your own photograph in a 1950s setting.
Reflections in Black and White features selections from four large photographic collections:
â¢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 Wilmingtonâs black community.
â¢Artist Claude Howell left an extensive collection of scrapbooks to the Museum. The albums include hundreds of pages with photographs of Howellâs friends, local scenery, and people.
â¢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 womenâs lives in the late 1940s.
â¢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: âThe 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.â
Cape Fear Museum hopes the exhibit will spark reflection and conversation about the history of race relations. Davidson states, âWhen you look at these images as a group, they give us a chance to reflect on how legally-sanctioned racial segregation helped shape peopleâs daily lives. We want todayâs 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.â
