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.
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.
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.
The Lincoln Lane school is a historic reminder of segregation in Putnam County. Built in 1938 at a cost “not to exceed $600,” the one-room schoolhouse served African American children from grades 1 through 8. Compared with white schools operating in the county during the same time, the school year was shorter and text books were second-hand. Moreover, teachers at this school were paid less, and publicly-funded transportation was not provided to students. In 1954, the landmark United States Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka found that the “separate but equal” doctrine, which had been used to justify segregation in public schools since the 1890s, was inherently unequal and unconstitutional. In 1956, title to the school land was conveyed to Charles E. Brush, a prominent local businessman and resident, symbolizing the end of school segregation in Interlachen. The Historical Society of Interlachen, Inc. purchased the land and building in 2013 in recognition of its historic significance.

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 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
