Curb cuts are not reciprocal; Central st. east curb cut (across from Albion has cross slopes in excess of 6%; western apex curb cut across street cross slopes are 3.6%.
City advances the notion that this apex can't be relocated as a perpendicular curb cut at that corner, but all they seem to be doing is being cheap. We're not asking for a curb cut in front of that door, just reciprocal and perpendicular to Central Street. Move it 6 inches to the left and the cross slopes will also be fine- because, the sidewalk cross slopes less than one foot to the left of that apex curb cut are less than .5%

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.
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.

тут написано: "евреям не разрешается заниматься розничной торговлей и посылкой товаров по почте". я недавно читал про сегрегацию в америке и меня это побудило попробовать поискать подобные вещи в нацистской германии, но в интернете я как-то картинок не нашёл -- что-то не так искал видимо. в итоге я вспомнил, что видел фотку объявления в автобиографии хельмута ньютона, так что это просто переснятая мною иллюстрация из книги.

The men would knock on the right side (it would make a deeper, louder sound - suggesting patriarchy) and the women would knock on the left (making a lighter, quieter sound).
A section of the Woolworth's lunch counter from Greensboro, North Carolina; this is where four African-American men began a sit-in to end racial segregation.
The segregation of sexes in Tangier was very evident. I did not see any local woman in Western clothes. Yet, remarkably, no one really paid any attention to us. Though, several men tried to get Nick to trade his baseball hat for a souvenir.

The eskimos have 100 words for snow - and what do we have? 100 different colors available for m&m's candy. Priorities, people. We need to learn to not SEE color, and appreciate all the different varieties of m&m's. Stop candy racism now!
Carver black school built by the WPA in the 1930s. It was later converted to the Hominy junior high school after segregation ended. Now abandoned.

One of my favorite shots I took 2 Carnival last year. Simply highlighting the police presence at these festive events.
