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

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…..
本日のプロダクションは人種差別の主テーマとしてWowWowテレビで近い将来に放映する予定です。この写真集は撮影ロケでその番組のキャストメンバーです。天気も最適で最高でした。19ºCは２月の昇順ごろとしてとても例外的です。皆さんは楽しんでいましたが立つことはかなりありましてメンバーの一部の足み疲れてきて痛くなりました。
撮影ロケは西立川の昭和記念公園です。その番組予定の詳細を知りたい場合はメッセージを送って下さい。

Palm Beach County, FL
Listed: 01/22/1992
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.

28. Segregation rather than flight is a second way to close a city. In Renaissance Venice, foreigners were obliged to live in buildings isolated from citizens. The Jewish Ghetto is at the norther periphery.

Palestainain Land owners escorted by israeli and International Supporters tried to get to their land, drink water from their well and work on it, which they are prevented from doing so because Susia settlers that are sitting on the farmers original land are spreading to that land. The land Real land owners where kicked out ance again from their land, being able only to drink a zip from their water and and move a few stones.
Though constructed in 1912 as the Baxter Hotel, this building, at the heart of Denver’s Five Points community, achieved its prominence in the years following 1929. With its name change and establishment of the Rossonian Lounge, the hotel became one of the most important jazz clubs between St. Louis and Los Angeles. Jazz greats such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, George Shearing, and Dinah Washington stayed at the hotel and entertained in the Rossonian Lounge between their major Denver engagements. These shows were often staged after the musicians finished their scheduled performances at the same Denver hotels that refused them lodging due to the racial segregation existing at the time.

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.

The absurdity of segregation rears its head in many different ways. The state, under Governor Herman Talmadge, put together the Minimum Foundation Program. While it did do a good bit in improving white education around the state, its main purpose was to ward off integration by transforming black education around the state, which had been utterly neglected. Black schools, most of them the equivalent of shacks and scattered everywhere as most counties had done little consolidation, were now brought together in new buildings with new equipment.
J.L. Williams was one of the schools built as a result of the Minimum Foundation Program. It replaced Commerce's earlier school, Johntown, and consolidated all elementary schools on its side of the county (the other half - as well as all high school grades, including those who had been attending Johntown - would attend Bryan in Jefferson).
J.L. Williams is a prime example of the absurdity. The school was completed and opened in 1957. Integration meant that it closed in 1968, a mere 11 years later.
The State School Building Authority's terms stated that the Commerce city school system had to pay the state for 20 years for the two schools it funded them (Commerce High being the other). This was signed in 1955. Therefore, unless terms changed because of integration, Commerce city was paying the state until 1975 for a building that taught children for barely half the terms of the lease.

The ALBERTINA dedicates a retrospective to the Austrian photographer Alfred Seiland (* 1952) with around 80 works. Seiland is one of the first photographers in Austria to work exclusively with color photography, consciously following in the footsteps of the founders of US New Color Photography - Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore, William Eggleston. Internationally, his pictures of famous people caused a stir for a campaign of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
In his documentary photographs, Seiland explores cultural landscapes and develops an independent aesthetic: to this day, he photographs his motifs, which are always precisely composed in terms of colors and moods of light, in analogue method. For his earliest series, East Coast - West Coast, atmospherically dense images of vast landscapes, streets and neon signs are created in the USA. Travels lead him, inter alia, to Syria, Iran and Turkey, to Egypt and Greece. The territory of the ancient Roman Empire is at the center of the Imperium Romanum series, which sheds light on the tension between the Ancient and the Modern. The works of the Werkgruppe Österreich (Group of Work Austria) are characterized by their characteristic view of their own homeland.
The exhibition will be on view from June 13th to October 7th, 2018.
Die ALBERTINA widmet dem österreichischen Fotografen Alfred Seiland (*1952) eine Retrospektive mit rund 80 Werken. Seiland ist einer der ersten Fotografen in Österreich, der ausschließlich mit Farbfotografie arbeitet und sich bewusst auf die Spuren der Begründer der US-amerikanischen New Color Photography – Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore, William Eggleston – begibt. International erregten seine Aufnahmen berühmter Persönlichkeiten für eine Kampagne der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung Aufsehen.
In seinen dokumentarischen Fotografien beschäftigt sich Seiland mit Kulturlandschaften und entwickelt dabei eine eigenständige Ästhetik: Seine in Bezug auf Farben und Lichtstimmung immer exakt komponierten Motive fotografiert er bis heute analog. Für seine früheste Serie East Coast – West Coast entstehen in den USA atmosphärisch dichte Aufnahmen von weiten Landschaften, Straßenzügen und Neonschildern. Reisen führen ihn u.a. nach Syrien, in den Iran und in die Türkei, nach Ägypten und Griechenland. Das Gebiet des antiken Römischen Reiches steht im Zentrum der Serie Imperium Romanum, die das Spannungsverhältnis von Antike und Moderne beleuchtet. Die Arbeiten der Werkgruppe Österreich zeichnen sich durch seinen charakteristischen Blick auf die eigene Heimat aus.
Die Ausstellung ist von 13. Juni bis 7. Oktober 2018 zu sehen.
