Somerville MA continues to use this nonstandard and inaccessible ramp as the "accessible route" to the Parent Information Center office, claiming that if someone doesn't find it accessible, they can call up and request accommodations. There is a regular coffee hour for parents held in here, sponsored by the city of Somerville Public School District. If the USDOE doesn't monitor their own agreements with school districts, we'll never achieve OpportunityForAll, will we?

This young man is one of several ushers who was hired to direct women to the rear doors and men to the front doors of Egged buses. The megaphone he carries broadcasts a recorded message at the touch of a button asking men to board from the front and women from the rear. All this is in direct violation of Israeli law.
Maurice Jackson of Georgetown University says D.C.âs race relations have come a long way, but we still have quite a ways to go.

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.

In the 1940s, the Fox Theater was the only the only theater in Atlanta that allowed both black and white patrons, however it remained segregated until 1975. The black box office remains unused at the back entrance to the theater.
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."

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.

American Beach is nominated to the National Register for significance at the local level under Criterion A in the areas of Ethnic Heritage: Black, and Community Planning and Development. The Pension Bureau of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company developed American Beach as an ocean front resort for African-Americans. The company acquired the property in three parcels between 1935 and 1946. In addition to providing an open pavilion for company outings, and guest houses for company officials and employees, the Pension Bureau under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln Lewis had the parcels subdivided into lots to be sold for vacation homes. Around 125 acres of the platted sections of American Beach were eventually developed. American Beach meets Criterion Consideration G as the largest of several segregated beaches that developed in Florida as a result of legislated segregation that lasted until the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the initial effects of which were felt in American Beach in 1965. The period of significance therefore, is 1935-1965. American Beach was the most prominent of the Florida segregated beaches; was the most extensively developed; and retains the greatest concentration of historic resources of Florida's Black beaches.
American Beach was created as a very specialized community; a segregated planned beach resort. It thrived as one of the premier such resorts until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the social changes that followed. Despite these social changes, the harsh coastal environment, and local developmental and economic pressures on the community, it survives with a high degree of physical integrity and its unique environmental setting is intact. The historic resources associated with other such beach resorts have largely been lost to similar pressures, making the American Beach community uniquely associated with and representative of an earlier period of African American life.
