Ripon Union Workhouse, Allhallow Gate, Ripon, North Yorkshire, 1854.
By Perkin & Backhouse.
Grade ll listed.
Segregation by Design.
This ground floor plan of the main block from 1930 shows how it was designed to keep different groups of inmates apart, despite living in close proximity. The dining hall in the centre of the building can be accessed via the male wing, the female wing and the infirmary, but inmates ate only with their own kind. Even within a wing, inmates were divided by age and there were dual staircases to keep the old and young people separate.
These impressive buildings were home to the poor and destitute of the city and surrounding parishes before the Welfare State. Replacing an earlier poor house, construction began in 1854 to the designs of Perkin and Backhouse of Leeds. Male and female paupers were separately housed within the main block. From the 1870s vagrants were accommodated in the gatehouse wings.

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.
when i looked at this picture the first thing that locked my eyes was the two men hung by rope as to what the situation must have been...? This justifies the meaning of studium which carries the first perception that comes to your mind when you first see the photograph. The punctum as i see the picture is the smile on peoples face, what makes them smile at the serious note of two people hanged to death??? Also the condition of the two men like their torn clothes depicts that they have been badly beaten by the public around for may be commiting a crime or something like that.These are the details of the picture which justify the meaning of punctum. The people standing at the back facing the camera are smiling which is a weired thing especially at the serious note of two people hung by rope.

By the way,
Professor Emeritus Robert Kimbrough / Lecturer / Teacher / Author / Authorite has proved and demonstrated that he is the very manifestation and embodiment of "The Bloody Racist Nigger" that the Third World Writer Chinua Achebe is writing about.
I take exception the the demarcation and division and segregation of the World into First World and Second World and Third-World when any blind fool knows that there is ONLY ONE WORLD.
So it is very accurate and fair and realistic to see and despise Kimbrough as a Racist Slave-Driver because, he, in the year 2000 is using and preaching the hate-filled language of his Prophets and Elders and Scribes and Dictators and their books and learning and is brain-washing others with that venomous poison.
I am so fortunate to never have had any preacher, teacher, lecturer, professor, who used the term and justified the term and the usage of the term: THE THIRD-WORLD and THIRD-WORLD PEOPLE, and THIRD-WORLD NATIONS, THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES, AND THIRD-WORLD CONTINENTS and THIRD-WORLD RACES and THIRD-WORLD-TRIBES.
It is very fitting and deserving that he be shamed with the Noun, COCKROACH, A Bloody Racist Cockroach. This kind of Brain-washing is inexcusable and intolerable and uncivilized for it is hateful and Barbaric and Brutish.
Yet this kind of racist demeaning and degrading labeling and segregation is is the same foul-breath and breadth as those Lobbying American Politicians who preach to their Brothers and Sisters and Brethren about "People from Shit-Hole Countries" and "Shit-Hole-People".

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.
