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.

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.

Scenes from U Street and Shaw neighborhood, where a dog park, a soccerfield, a skateboard park coexist, together and separately - what micro-segregation looks like

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".
Brown at 60: Is Full Equality Within Our Grasp? A Conversation on Zero Tolerance, Segregation, and the Promise of Justice
During the 1960's blacks were trying to stop segregation. There were all kinds of black leaders trying to fight through the white man. One of the main black leaders while he was alive was Malcolm X. A militant black nationalist leader. He fully believed in black power and for them to be on top. Malcolm X was not just like any black leader though he was a criminal to the extent. He was addicted to drugs, a thief, jailed so many times, put on parol for several years, and he was a pimp. Yet, he was one of the best public speakers that black person could have around. He was shot during a rally. Another famous black activist was Martin Luther King Jr. which almost everyone knows about. He wrote the "I had a Dream" speech back in the 1960's. He spoke out to many Americans and changed the point of view on blacks for many white people. He was a more radical speaker then what Malcolm X was. MLK did not always portray as a bad guy and many people do not see him that way either. Some places say that he is an American hating activist and that he sexually abused white woman. Most Americans though look at him has a leader and a hero. He was also assassinated during this time.
The two most known black activist are both in this picture. It looks like they are engaging in some casual conversation. They are both dressed very nice more then likely they are both giving speeches or at least at some kind of rally. Neither one of them look really mad or angry. They might be discussing what they are talking about in there speeches. Looking in the back you can see that there are two white men and one other black man. The rally might be about them getting closer and breaking down segregation even more. Having the white men allowing there opinion in there points of view in on the speeches and discussions.

Debris flow tracks on an alluvial fan in Todalen. Debris flows trigger after torrent rain falls, reworking the talus significantly. The levees on each side of the track are a result of inverse segregation. Larger stones and boulders flow higher up in the whole debris flow, accumulating on the side along the track. When the debris flow stops, the debris front displays a tongue shape.

The segregation of Humans from Stick People continues, even in this day and age. This is the only designated rest zone in the whole of the Canary Wharf site for Stick People and this is the only sign pointing it out. The two in the background you can see on the bench only found it by accident.
We still have a way to go, people. We still have a way to go.

Article discussing the re-opening of playgrounds. List playgrounds, whether they were segregated black or white, and the directors of each. Part 2. Original: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1915-03-01/ed-...
In the old time woman was hide from other to be seen, only this window was the opportunity see the outside world.
Born in Atlanta during the height of racial segregation, Martin Luther King dedicated his life to bringing attention to these social injustices to light in a powerful but non-violent way. His dedication to God and his country lead him to be of service to his fellow man.
Raised in a family of preachers, Dr. King himself was a reverend at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. He began his journey as a civil rights early starting with the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. A few years later he founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and by 1963 delivered his famous speech to the world.
The author of numerous books on social consciousness and spirituality, Dr. King was the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. His dedication to ending racial segregation through non-violent means earned him this prestigious honor. In his later years, MLK focused his energies on ending poverty and protesting the Vietnam War.
With his actions, words and presence all reflecting his unfailing stance on non-violence, it was a tragedy to see Dr. King struck down in the prime of his life. Martin Luther King was assassinated on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel in Tennessee on April 4, 1968. Dr. King was only 39 years old.
