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.

Joint meeting of City of Beloit Parks and Recreation Commission and Landmarks Commission at Turtle Creek Park to tour the old pool Bathhouse building. The building's been sealed up for a many years waiting for some kind of decision on its future. Parks and Recreation Commission wants to examine options and thus the meeting.
Inside was this old desk under a rooftop skylight vent.
[I'll find the Beloit Historical Society page with information on this 1938 Flexcore roofed historic landmark building later.]
Redlining neighbourhoods and violent attacks against new Black homeowners were direct root causes of large scale unrest - the 1943 Detroit Race Riot and the 1967 Rebellion.
The action took place in downtown Chicago. The crowd chanted 'Hands-Up, Don't Shoot', and 'No Justice, No Peace'.

What jumps out of this image isn’t quite so much the segregation itself; but that the separate water fountains each group of people are supposed to be using are interconnected. They are conjoined by one pipe which in my opinion defeats the purpose of segregation. This is the punctum. The studium in this photograph is the segregation it is supposed to represent. It jumps out at me but doesn't wound me as the punctum would. Barthes helps me to better grasp what I’m looking at. If I had seen this photograph before I had known who Barthes was I don’t think I would have perceived this photo as I did.
Schools Reflect Segregation in Chile’s Educational System
VALPARAÍSO/VIÑA DEL MAR, Chile (IPS) – The decentralisation of Chile’s public schools, which were handed over to the municipalities to run in 1981, gave rise to a de facto segregation that has cast a shadow over several generations of Chileans.

A major achievement of the Nobel prize winning economist and game theorist Thomas Schelling was an elegant model of racial segregation, first described in 1969. Although the explicit concern of the model is racial segregation it affords many interpretations - the model can be seen as a finite difference version of differential equations describing interparticle forces, for example. For the first time we have now rigorously analysed the unperturbed model.
In the figure, each disc illustrates a simulation of the model. The inner ring displays a large number of individuals of two types who are initially given a random order and arranged in a circle. According to simple rules they then rearrange themselves into a much more structured form, which is illustrated in the outer ring, with the process by which this segregated configuration is reached being illustrated in the space between the inner and the outer rings.
The building that houses this "Colored Branch Of Rosenberg Library" was built in 1924.
So convinced that their segregationist ways were moral and natural, the building's designers had the exclusionary language carved in granite 61 years after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Rosenberg Library was desegregated in 1954, at which time this branch was closed. Today it is part of the Central Cultural Center and is located at 1302 27th St.
Booker T. Washington School served from 1900 to 1967 as an African American school for kindergarten through 12th-grade students during segregation.
The school is currently vacant and crumbling. It is currently for sale, but members of the African American community are lobbying for it's preservation:
“A lot of people see the school with the mold … but for us it’s so much more than that, What that school brought to us was love, support and encouragement. It’s more than just a building to us. It’s the only thing we can drive by and still say it still exists (from our) history.” from Kathy Washington, Washington School Reunion Committee.
