In Bogyiszló, as in over 700 other Hungarian villages, the Roma population lives segregated from the rest of the village, at the end of a long dirt road, behind the cemetery. This is the view of the village behind the fields, seen from the Roma settlement.
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.

"I’m not working
Know I need help
I will like to go back
To school to
Get me a trade
And better my
Life!"

Yet again, an important but not particularly interesting (visually) photo.
What’s pictured here is a picnic area with an exhibit regarding the time when this portion of the Little Talbot Island State Park was a segregated black beach (see history below). The exhibit itself has relatively good documentation (see adjacent pictures), but there is nothing nearby to inform anyone that there is an exhibit here. Worse, when I asked at the entrance to the park, the attendant at the gate had no idea what I was talking about – fortunately he asked for a manager and the manager knew where the exhibit was.

Fig. 1. Segregation of the S7 and hpt genes in R 1 progeny of transgenic Taipei 309 plants. Genomic DNA was isolated from R 1 plants and used in coamplification of S7 and hpt gene-specific DNA fragments by PCR using primers for respective promoter sequences and for the 5' regions of the S7 and hpt genes. L1a, L1b, L1c, and L1d represent R 1 progeny of four plants from the same transgenic line. The arrow indicates occasional absence of a particular PCR fragment possibly due to deletion of a region of the transgene in the segregating population.

Defending Freedom, Defining Freedom: The Era of Segregation, 1876-1968, part of the the History Galleries, explores the years following the end of Reconstruction to show how the nation struggled to define the status of African Americans.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, was established in December 2003 and opened its permanent home in September 2016. The 350,000-square-foot, 10-story (five above and five below ground) was built to the postmodern design of Phil Freelon's Freelon Group, Sir David Adjaye's Adjaye Associates and Davis Brody Bond. The above ground floors feature an inverted step pyramid surrounded by a bronze architectural scrim, which reflects a crown used in Yoruba culture. With more than 40,000 objects in its collection, although only about 3,500 items are on display, the NMAAHC is the world's largest museum dedicated to African-American history and culture.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.

The Bullion Plaza School is being nominated to the National Register under Criterion A, for its association with the history of Mexican Americans and school segregation in Arizona, and Criterion C, as an example of late Neo classical Revival architecture in public buildings in Miami. Segregation of Mexican-American students was a common practice in Arizona schools from the early decades of the 1900s until the early 1950s precisely the period during which Bullion Plaza School served as a segregated school for Miami's Mexican-American children. The school also is representative of "Mexican schools" because of its configuration and operation as a vocational training center, which school administrators at the time thought was needed for Mexican-American students because of their supposed inability to perform well in traditional scholastic subjects.
Unfortunately, the history of the segregation of Mexican-American students is not well known, and there are few properties in Arizona on the National Register commemorating this important aspect of the state's ethnic history. This omission can be remedied by placing this building on the National Register. Given the rarity of other Mexican-American school buildings on the Register, the Bullion Plaza School is historically significant at the state level.
As an example of Neo-Classical Revival architecture, the Bullion Plaza School is significant at the local level. Only two of the existing buildings in Miami are in this style (the other is the Miami YMCA), and none is currently listed on the National Register. Architect-designed buildings were rare in Miami during the period when the Bullion Plaza School was constructed, and buildings that were executed in a recognized architectural style were even rarer. As a result, this Neo-Classical building has exerted a marked influence on the town's built environment that should be recognized through listing on the National Register.

An Act to make provision for the better protection and care of the Aboriginal inhabitants of Western Australia
The purpose of the Aborigines Act (continued from the earlier 1886 Act) was the ‘protection, control and segregation of Aboriginal people’. Unlike the earlier legislation, the impact of the 1905 Act was far-reaching, establishing an administrative regime under the control of a Chief Protector that invaded every aspect of Noongar people’s lives. The Act assumed that Aboriginal people were a ‘dying race’ in its objective of forced assimilation of future generations.
The Act incorporated terms of ‘caste’ and ‘blood’ into the definition of ‘Aboriginality’ where ‘persons deemed to be Aborigines include all Aboriginal inhabitants of Australia, and half-castes or their children’. More Noongar people were affected by this Act than any previous discriminatory legislation, and its impact lasted well into the 1970s (reinforced by subsequent amending Acts).
The Chief Protector had wide-reaching power as legal guardian of all Aboriginal children (under 16 years) whom he decided were illegitimate. He could grant or deny permission for Aboriginal women to marry non-Aboriginal men and could manage the property of Aboriginal people without their consent. Freedom of movement was also restricted. In the subsequent 1936 Native Administration Act, which continued the objectives of the 1905 Act, there were severe penalties, including imprisonment for cohabitation between Noongars and Europeans. Police had extensive powers of surveillance, which continued for some time.
The segregation reinforced by the Act and the existing attitudes based on race, established an apartheid regime where Aboriginal people in Western Australia were discriminated against in all sorts of ways. Civil rights were denied by the Act. For example: those Noongars who had lost control of their property under the 1905 Act lost their eligibility to vote at State Elections.
In 1893, men were entitled to vote at WA elections if they leased or owned property. The Commonwealth Franchise Act, 1902, stated that no ‘Aboriginal native of Australia, Asia or Africa’ were entitled to vote unless already enrolled as voters in their State. Even if Noongars were eligible to vote, this right was removed by the Electoral Act 1907. Aboriginal people did not obtain the right to vote at State and Federal elections until 1962.

One of the ushers hired to urge women to board from the rear door and men from the front door -- in complete violation of Israeli law
One core topic in quantitative social science is the measurement of the polarization or segregation of groups. The vast quantity of digital data such as Internet browsing histories, item-level purchase data, or text, allows us to get a picture of interests, opinions, and related behavior. The challenge is that parsing this high-dimensional data requires methods different from the standard, existing practices of measurement. In this talk, Matthew Taddy will discuss how ideas from machine learning can be used to build a new set of metrics for measuring segregation in high dimensions. His talk will focus on how these methods were applied to measure the partisanship of speech in the United States Congress from 1872 to the present, and compare the results with the conclusions drawn from more simplistic, bias-prone measures.
Flames rise behind the four Doric-style columns that once framed the entrance to the Drewryville School building. 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.

This map illustrates education segregation in the U.S. prior to Brown v. Board of Education. Red = segregation required by law. Yellow = no legislation regarding segregation. Blue = optional or limited segregation. Green = segregation is forbidden.
This can be used for teaching the culture differences of the United States' regions during the period of desegregation. It helps illustrate the South's reluctance to adhere to the Supreme Court's ruling.
