Article discussing the re-opening of playgrounds. List playgrounds, whether they were segregated black or white, and the directors of each. Part 1. Original: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1915-03-01/ed-...
Tule Lake Segregation Center...Tule Lake Internment Camp...Tule Lake Relocation Center. Whatever it is called, one thing was certain...it was the most brutal, the largest and the only maximum security camp where American citizens of Japanese descent were housed during WWII. Loyalty questionnaires were given and because of awkward phrasings and the fear and distrust of the American government, many in the camps across the country answered "No" to some of the questions. Answering no to 2 specific questions earned them a 1-way ticket to Tule Lake, which was also the last camp to be closed in 1946.
Milan's post segregation days status is a mystery. In 1970, there is only one elementary school listed for the town, while there had been two in the years before that (one white, one black). Its post office box number (248) does not match up with the one used for segregated Milan Elementary (297). However, though, it used the name Milan Elementary.
This site does not look like its been abandoned for 40 years. Twenty to 25? Quite possible. Forty? No.
A third factor in me thinking this was used past segregation is that this school was only built in about 1959 because the frame building in use at that time was in pitiful condition. It is unlikely that a county as poor as Telfair would close a building as new as this one.

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.

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.

Carver black schoool built by the WPA in the 1930s. It was later converted to the Hominy junior high school after segregation ended. Now abandoned.

Clothes hang between two trailers inside the government built Roma camp in Ardea. The fence separates the camp into Muslim and Christian sections although both groups move freely between both sides. Roma from Albania, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina are likely to identify as Muslim while Roma from Serbia and Romania consider themselves Orthodox Christian or Catholic. | Photo by Bogdan Mohora
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.
Highlighted New Listing – May 27, 2011
Montgomery, Montgomery County, AL
The Montgomery Greyhound Bus Station, located at 210 S. Court Street in Montgomery, Alabama, was made famous world-wide on May 20, 1961, when the Freedom Riders, a group of civil rights activists and students who wanted to test the validity and enforcement of segregation on the nation’s new interstate system in the south, were attacked by a white mob awaiting their arrival at the station. The South was the scene of many civil rights struggles where state laws segregated African Americans and European Americans. The Montgomery Greyhound Bus Station itself is a small, modest, single-story building constructed in 1950-51, but has earned its place in history by focusing the federal government to intervene instead of deferring to states to solve civil rights issues.
Woman with child from the Borana tribe
Segregation between men and women is strictly practical among the Borana. The duty to care for the herds is for the men, while women are responsibele for upbringing of the children and day-today life activities in the home.
Polygamy is a common practice, so majority of the men have at least 2 wives or even more. Family relations are closely knit and children are very important
