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.
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 and Lawrence Diggs of Columbia, 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.
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.
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.
-Sports were segregated -- baseball had a black and a white league

Lynching in America
Thousands of African Americans were victims of lynching and racial violence in the United States between 1877 and 1950. The lynching of African Americans during this era was a form of racial terrorism used to intimidate Black people and enforce racial hierarchy and segregation. Racial terror lynching was most prevalent in the South, but during what became known as the Red Summer of 1919, anti-black riots erupted in over two dozen American cities in Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and other states. White mobs intent on protecting their economic and social dominance from growing Black communities and an increase in Black workers destroyed property and killed or injured hundreds of Black people. In this era, racial terror lynchings had become the most public form of racial terror and was frequently tolerated or even supported by law enforcement and elected officials. Racial terror lynchings generally took place in communities that had functioning criminal justice systems but chose to deny due process to racial terror lynching victims, who were frequently pulled from jails or delivered to mobs by law officers legally required to protect them, often based on mere accusations. The names of many lynching victims were not recorded or remain unknown, but at least 318 documented racial terror lynchings took place in Florida between 1877 and 1950, including 8 in Duval County.
The Lynching of Bowman Cook and John Morine
On September 8, 1919, a mob of 50 White men lynched two Black veterans of World War I, Bowman Cook and John Morine. This was during the Red Summer of 1919, when Black veterans returned from the war determined to overcome racism and discrimination at home, and many White communities responded with violence. In Jacksonville, several Black taxi drivers were killed by White riders. Jacksonville officials refused to investigate, placing Black drivers at greater risk. To protect themselves, Black cab drivers began refusing White passengers. When a White rider was refused service in mid-August, he indiscriminately fired a handgun into a crowd of Black people. In an era when accusations against Black people rarely faced scrutiny, police alleged that this man was killed on August 20 by Mr. Cook and Mr. Morine, and they were arrested. Three weeks later, before either man could stand trial, a mob abducted them from the Duval County Jail, drove them to North Main Street and Cemetery Road, and fatally shot
them. They left Mr. Morine's body in a ditch, then dragged Mr. Cook's corpse behind a car for nearly 50 blocks before dumping his mangled remains on Hogan Street near the Confederate monument in Hemming Park. Lynchings and public mutilations were intended to enforce white supremacy, and lynch mobs would sometimes abandon the victim's body in a prominent space. No one was ever arrested or charged for lynching Bowman Cook and John Morine.
Under mayor Curtatone, Somerville, MA is noncompliant with State and Federal regulations and pedestrian rights of way code.
Even the most basic construction standards for architectural access building code are ignored during routine street reconstruction projects in Somerville, MA. Summer, 2011.
Since the recent resurgence of downhill longboard,
Skateboarding seemed destined to segregation between hard and soft wheels between flips and slides.
However skateboarding is skateboarding and there is no right or wrong about it
and suddenly what seemed to be no longer seems.
In "All Around" Nick Crown shows us the way and between tricks and slides, switch and base
he resets what we used to call "freeriding".
Follow Nick in his hometown showing all his arsenal.
Thanks For Watching!

Workers removed this desk from the former Drewryville School building before demolishing the structure. Meanwhile a bulldozer in the background skirts a burning pile of wood and pulverizes bricks from the structure. The school first opened in 1924 and served white students in the 1st through 11th grades during segregation. It closed in 1955, and was heavily damaged by Hurricane Isabel in September 2003. Photo taken on Monday, July 20, 2009.
“While 20 photographs were eventually published in Life, the bulk of Mr. Parks’s work from that shoot was thought to have been lost. That is, until this spring, when the Gordon Parks Foundation discovered more than 70 color transparencies at the bottom of an old storage box, wrapped in paper and masking tape and marked, ‘Segregation Series.’”

The Segregation wall streches for miles all around Palestine. It separates villages and towns, families, and friends, more importantly it separates Israel and Palestine. Is seperation ever really the way forward?
Per the NBC29.com website:
"The train depot on the Montpelier Estate in Orange County has been restored. The Montpelier Foundation hopes it will teach the public about the Jim Crow period of segregation, and turn a dark chapter in American history into a positive lesson about change.
It's a chance to step back in time, when travel by train was king and when those who rode them were segregated. Montpelier President Michael C. Quinn says, "It's a much different sense of space in the colored waiting room from the white waiting room."
The Montpelier Foundation spent the past 18 months authentically restoring the building to what it looked like when it was built 1910 by William DuPont. There's an old telegraph and typewriter, and the benches are original to the building.
As required by racial segregation laws in Virginia at the time, the depot had to include two waiting rooms, a large one for whites and a smaller one for African Americans. So the historians re-hung the waiting room signs.
Tom Chapman is the research coordinator for the Montpelier Foundation. Chapman says, "We really did that to bring in to focus the realization that this aspect of this history existed."
The exhibit is a stark reminder of the Jim Crow era and the racism that African American travelers confronted. But the Montpelier Foundation hopes the message is about how America has changed. Quinn says, "It's a very key part in our overall effort to interpret race relations, social justice and even the evolution of the constitution here at Montpelier."
Chapman says, "We at Montpelier don't necessarily look at it as separate history to say it's African American history or it's American history but it's all kind of incorporated into one history with many different experiences."
Train service to the depot stopped about 1974, but the US Post Office has been there since 1912. If you'd like to visit the museum, the exhibit is free."

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 this 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.]
