The demonstration against segregated buses that took place near the Supreme Court building in Jerusalem on October 27, 2009
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.

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.”

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.

"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"

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!"

Today, Claire met with two Montford Point Marine veterans, who traveled from Missouri to be honored for their bravery and commitment to America.
Claire personally thanked Robert Motley of Kansas City (left) and Lawrence Diggs of Columbia (right), two of today’s Gold Medal recipients. Claire previously cosponsored and helped pass legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to all Montford Point Marines who trained for duty at the segregated Montford Point facility at Camp Lejeune, N.C. In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order allowing African-Americans to be recruited by the Marine Corps, however they were not allowed to attend traditional boot camps, despite serving with distinction throughout the Pacific.
What was once the ‘colored’ entrance to the bus station – in the larger picture you can see that it is too the left of the Greyhound sign. The ‘colored’ entrance opened to a hallway which led to a separate, and smaller, ‘colored’ waiting room, lunch counter, and ticket window in the back of the station.
From what I hear, Union Kempsville is scheduled to be torn down soon. I'm not sure when. I have heard that it shut down after schools integrated because it the whites thought it wasn't good enough. Go figure.
I'll see if I can post some more pictures before the area is redeveloped.

Most historians date the beginning of the modern civil rights movement in the United States to December 1, 1955. That was the day when an unknown seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. This brave woman, Rosa Parks, was arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, but her lonely act of defiance began a movement that ended legal segregation in America, and made her an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere.

Monroe originally had thirteen classrooms. From the time of its construction until 1941, Monroe served Kindergarten through eighth grades. After this time the three upper grades were transferred to integrated junior high schools, leaving additional classroom space in the school. The Manual Training Room was later used as a lunchroom and two classrooms were converted for use in music and visual education.
Directly across the street from Monroe, there is an area that was used for an additional playground. This playground is a visible triangular-shaped area that is part of the park site. This property was used for the older children to participate in athletic activities especially for softball, baseball, track and football. The younger children would have used the playgrounds on the north and south ends of the building.
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.

I Just wish the yellow coat security hired by this SNP run council never stood so close to some of the things people tried to photograph and as for the council saying “you can`t walk on the grass around the Abbey, which is a fucking grave yard is shocking and offensive and more so a fucking hate crime.
Again! I`m the founder of Scotland`s one true god given religion cameronissim and under cameronissim I`m the spirit of Scotland under our dead and God. So these grave yards belong to the people of Scotland and not the council or other such political parties, to which I give no legal rights to. So it was a hate crime to refuse my right to walk around my nations dead while the councils private contractors where allowed to supplant their cables and other such devices around the graves here in the heart of god to which all of Scotland is the heart of god under cameronissim.
Remember that next time Renfrewshire and all you other councils around Scotland.. Cameronissim is freedom and freedom of speech keeps the tyrants at bay and the spirit of Scotland belongs to its people and its people’s right to roam our grave yards is part of my one true fucking god given Scottish religion cameronissim.. After all if Jews and Muslims have the right to their own segregation “NO SCOTS ALLOWED” cemeteries then it’s a racist hate crime on the part of councils to refuse Scots their right to practice their religious fucking freedoms here in Scotland the heart of god.
