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.
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.

“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

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.

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.)
