“I was always kind of feisty
because of growing up with total
segregation. My sister and I, we
would always go to the white
fountain and always have to get a
sip. We just felt that it (segregation)
wasn’t right then.” — Mary Ransaw

Waste management awareness- Upasana Society- Feb 2017
Upasna Society NGO in association with Patkar college students ( Duheeta Joshi, Yash Chavan, Chaitali Pawar, Arya Vaidya, Hardik Rane, Trishant Bhatt and Vyanketesh Lutkurthi) is organising an awareness campaign on waste management in United English school at Malad Marve on 13th of Feb 2017 at 3pm . It is a school for under privileged children. Believing in the idea of, “What we sow, so shall we reap”, is the main motto of the campaign.
Students will be taught about waste management and its importance through audio visual aids.
Upasana Society volunteers would be demonstrating them what exactly is dry and wet waste.
"Best out of waste" competition will also be conducted for the kids.
Upasana Society volunteers will be installing two separate dustbins for the segregation of waste at the school so that the students can take this example to their own house.
At Upasana Society NGO, It is important to know how and what affects us and how we can bring out sustainable change. Thus this will be a small step towards bringing about a positive change in the society.
Those who wish to be a part of such events and campaigns can contact Saurabh- 9769727057 or Dipti- 7045127770.

Segregation in Washington: A Report of the National Committee on Segregation in the Nation's Capital (Chicago: November 1948), p. 87
Selected Background Scenes from Our Georgia Shoot Last week Of Special Note is the Imperial Hotel in Thomasville, Georgia. It's sad that this place has been let go... I am including a blurb from a website.
"Imperial Hotel
704 West Jackson Street
Built by the Lewis brothers in 1949 and operated until 1969 by Harvey and Dorothy Lewis Thompson, the Imperial Hotel is the only known black hotel in Thomasville's history. Until the end of segregation in public accommodations, African-American's could not stay in public hotels. When entertainers such as the King Perry Band, B.B. King, The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, Earl Bostic, Bells of Joy, Rosetta Thorpe and Marie Knight all came to Thomasville, they had to stay at the Imperial Hotel."

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.

Der Kaugummi auf Jauchs Auge stammt nicht von mir. Im Fernsehen fällt gar nicht auf, dass seine Ohren so groß wie bei einem Esel sind. Im Alter wachsen die Ohren.
Aber worum geht es auf dem Plakat? In Berlin wurde vor einigen Jahren das Fach Ethik für den Unterricht in gemeinschaftlichem Zusammenleben eingeführt. Berlin und die anderen deutschen Millionenstädte haben einen enormen Anteil an nichtdeutscher Bevölkerung mit den von der Heimat oder den Eltern übernommenen Moralvorstellungen. Statt Integration findet eher eine der Mietpreislage entsprechende Segregation statt. Um wenigstens dem Nachwuchs in den Schulen die deutschen Grundsätze für ein Zusammenleben von Menschen nahezubringen, wurde das Fach Ethik eingeführt, womit Berlin das fortschrittlichste Bundesland ist. Nun gab es eine Gruppe christlicher Gehirnatrophiker, die zur Stärkung des Faches Religion, das niemand besuchen muss, eine Zwangsentscheidung der Familien (Schüler dürfen erst ab 14 aus eigenem Antrieb zum Religionsunterricht gehen oder es lassen.) zwischen Ethik und Religion einführen lassen wollte. Dazu gab es dieses Plakat mit Günther Jauch als Zugpferd. "Freie Wahl" war nicht gemeint, denn es sollte ja eine Zwangswahl zwischen Ethik und Religion werden, aber wenn es um Politik geht, sind die Lüge und Dummheit immer im Spiel. Die Berliner Bürger wollten diesen Unsinn nicht tragen und die Volksabstimmung zur Gesetzesänderung scheiterte.
Civil War Era Segregation
15 July 2014 -- 196/365
Providence, Rhode Island
A small, empty field sits tucked into an out-of-the-way corner of the North Burial Ground. The area was known as a "Free Ground", meaning it was a common burial site for those that could not afford a plot of land. At the time of these interments, this land was adjacent to the Blackstone River Canal. The ground was poor, the area infested with mosquitoes, and the risk of malaria here was very high. The monument was erected in 1863, the mid-point of the Civil War. Segregation, even in the Union, was the law of the land, even after death. These graves, marked only with the initials of the deceased, all belong to black women that resided at the "Shelter for Elderly Coloured Women". These would all have been free women, not slaves, since Rhode Island started in the late 1770s to enforce the 1654 law abolishing slavery in the colony. (The transport of slaves through the state would survive in the 19th century, although Rhode Islanders could not technically own slaves.)
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, protect highlights, and details. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

nrhp # 100004751- The Blackwell School was a segregrated school in Marfa, Texas, that served the city's Hispanic population from its construction in 1909 until the end of school segregation in 1965. On October 17, 2022, President Joe Biden signed legislation authorizing the establishment of Blackwell School National Historic Site as a unit of the National Park Service upon federal acquisition of the property. The site memorializes the history of supposedly "separate but equal" practices in Texas and elsewhere, as well as the role of education in Mexican American culture and the Marfa community.
The main schoolhouse building is made of adobe and has three rooms. The site also includes the Band Hall, built in 1927 as an additional classroom; other buildings have since been torn down. Originally called the Ward or Mexican School, in 1940 it was named after the principal Jesse Blackwell. At that time the school had grown to more than 600 students. After 1954, students were not permitted to speak Spanish; one former student recounted holding a mock funeral for the language. Although segregation was not required by state law, many Texas school districts practiced it until more than a decade after the Brown v. Board of Education decision.
Alumni formed the Blackwell School Alliance to preserve the school in 2006 when the Marfa Independent School District proposed demolishing it. Their efforts led to the school's listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. The Alliance will continue to maintain the school until the National Park Service acquires sufficient land from the district. The national historic site will be the second area in the National Park System specifically about Hispanic American history, after César E. Chávez National Monument.

This article examines the central role of occupation as the “reward packages” in creating earnings disparities between rural migrants and local workers in urban China’s labor markets. Analyses of the data from the population mini-census of China in 2005 show that, rural migrants’ earnings disadvantages are largely attributable to occupational segregation based on workers’ hukou status, and the hukou-based occupational segregation pattern varies by employment sectors. Rural migrants who work in governmental agencies or state institutions earn less than their urban counterparts whereas those who work in public or private enterprises earn higher hourly wages. Our findings shed new lights on how government policies lead to occupational segregation and create inequality among different social groups in urban China.

In the early 1940’s, during the time of segregation in Asheville, Dr. Mary Frances Shuford led a campaign to establish a hospital for Asheville’s black citizens. Because blacks couldn’t be admitted to the local hospitals, she presided over minor operations like tonsillectomies in a little bedroom off her kitchen with her black cook serving as nurse. Eventually she gathered enough community support to establish the "Asheville Colored Hospital" on Biltmore Avenue where Eugene Ellison’s law offices are now located. This picture shows Dr. Shuford with Montford children in front of a house she converted into a community center in 1967.
