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:
âąAfrican 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.
âąArtist 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.
âąStudent 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.
âąIn 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

What was once the âcoloredâ entrance to the bus station â in the larger picture you can see that it is too the left of the Greyhound sign. The âcoloredâ entrance opened to a hallway which led to a separate, and smaller, âcoloredâ waiting room, lunch counter, and ticket window in the back of the station.
Ready for a pickup game. This gym was huge. The backstories I've read about Ellerbe Road School said this was a school for the poor black children of the area. I would tend to disagree with that. In the days before segregation, there is no way an elementary school for poor children would have been this nice.

By the way,
Professor Emeritus Robert Kimbrough / Lecturer / Teacher / Author / Authorite has proved and demonstrated that he is the very manifestation and embodiment of "The Bloody Racist Nigger" that the Third World Writer Chinua Achebe is writing about.
I take exception the the demarcation and division and segregation of the World into First World and Second World and Third-World when any blind fool knows that there is ONLY ONE WORLD.
So it is very accurate and fair and realistic to see and despise Kimbrough as a Racist Slave-Driver because, he, in the year 2000 is using and preaching the hate-filled language of his Prophets and Elders and Scribes and Dictators and their books and learning and is brain-washing others with that venomous poison.
I am so fortunate to never have had any preacher, teacher, lecturer, professor, who used the term and justified the term and the usage of the term: THE THIRD-WORLD and THIRD-WORLD PEOPLE, and THIRD-WORLD NATIONS, THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES, AND THIRD-WORLD CONTINENTS and THIRD-WORLD RACES and THIRD-WORLD-TRIBES.
It is very fitting and deserving that he be shamed with the Noun, COCKROACH, A Bloody Racist Cockroach. This kind of Brain-washing is inexcusable and intolerable and uncivilized for it is hateful and Barbaric and Brutish.
Yet this kind of racist demeaning and degrading labeling and segregation is is the same foul-breath and breadth as those Lobbying American Politicians who preach to their Brothers and Sisters and Brethren about "People from Shit-Hole Countries" and "Shit-Hole-People" (President Donald Trump).

Apparently segregation is alive and well on a farm near you. These are the kinda things they just don't teach you in school.

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.

When I graduated from West, segregation was still the rule. Now if I walk throught that grand old building, I can see that times have changed. I think this portrait was done with pencils an copy paper. There is another similar picture on down the hall.

In March 1950, Centenary hosted a three-day International Relations Club Southwest Regional conference. Around 500 delegates representing 64 colleges and universities attended. Approximately 12 attendees were black.
Four Centenary students notified the Shreveport Journal that the conference events were not racially segregated. In response, the newspaper published articles scrutinizing the conferenceâs integrated activities.

It was interesting to discover the depot had segregated ticket entrances labeled colored and white. To actually see remnants of this aspect of history is startling. It's hard to imagine that segregation was once considered a normal part of life.

E.J. Hayes Elementary School in Williamston, NC
Brief history:
E.J. Hayes was a high school in the 1960s when my father attended school here. It was the "Negro" high school back then during the reign of Jim Crow and Segreation.

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.
This broke my heart. We had to make Widget sit by herself during the cupcake decorating so she wouldn't eat the cake or frosting. Thankfully she seemed happy enough with a big bowl of pineapple.

"Ax Handle Saturday
Jacksonville has a history of racial segregation and violence. Because of its high visibility and patronage, the Hemming Park and surrounding stores were the site of numerous Civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s. Black Sit-ins began on August 13, 1960 when students asked to be served at the segregated lunch counter at Woolworths, Morrison's Cafeteria and other eateries. They were denied service and frequently kicked, spit at and addressed with racial slurs. This came to a head on "Ax Handle Saturday", August 27, 1960. A group of 200 middle aged and older white men (allegedly some were also members of the Ku Klux Klan) gathered in Hemming Park armed with baseball bats and ax handles. They attacked the protesters conducting sit-ins. The violence spread, and the white mob started attacking all African-Americans in sight"

Scenes from U Street and Shaw neighborhood, where a dog park, a soccerfield, a skateboard park coexist, together and separately - what micro-segregation looks like
In its 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling, the United States Supreme Court declared the segregation of schools based on race unconstitutional. (Many modern politically-minded folk would call this legislating from the bench.) But school systems across the South resisted this push toward desegregation, loudly repeating the cry that's plagued us for almost two centuries that the federal government had no right to meddle in the affairs of states and municipalities. This eventually came to a head in a number of locations. One of those spots was here in Arkansas, at Little Rock Central High School.
A court order had forced the Little Rock School District to admit nine African-American children to Little Rock Central High School at the start of the 1957-58 school year. But two days before school was to start, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus (and if that isn't the perfect name for a Southern governor, there isn't one) went on television to say he wasn't going to let it happen. Order needed to be preserved, he said, and he would do this by calling up Arkansas national guard troops to keep the black kids from entering the building. Those nine kids went to the school on September 4, but the national guard turned them away, and they were swamped and spat upon by an angry mob. The mob kept these kids out of class for two weeks.
U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower responded by federalizing the national guard troops and ordering them removed. (Today's politicians would probably call this tyranny and sue.) The nine kids were brought back on September 20. Little Rock police escorted the kids into the school this time, but the mob outside quickly broke out into a riot (so there is a precedent for this sort of thing), and the police took the kids right out the back door.
Finally, on September 25, Eisenhower sent in troops from the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division to escort the kids into the school. (I wonder if there's a unit patch for that.) The troops stayed at the school for the entire year, and Little Rock Central High School was finally desegregated. African-American kids were finally able to exercise their constitutional right to walk up these steps ... with military escort.
This sign reads:
"Think before you sit. [The verbs are in the plural, present tense, rather than in the imperative, so that the sign can also be read: We think before we sit. In any case, the idea here is to soften the imperative tone and to give a feeling of in-group, of community, as in: This is what we do.]
"Before we board the bus, we think about the most important thing: where to sit?
"We all obey the instructions of the great sages of Israel!
"Men: in the forward portion
"Women: in the inner portion."
Notice that the sign says "Inner portion" rather than "Rear portion." A lame attempt to disguise what the sign is really saying:
"Women to the back of the bus!"
