Unfair segregation? On the left is "ticketed passengers," which would make me think the other line is for passengers without tickets. But the "restricted access" line is for first-class passengers, business-class passengers, "premium" passengers, military personnel, and USO people. Not fair, and not appropriate. TSA shouldn't treat people differently based on how much they paid for their tickets. Denver International Airport. Denver, CO.
This was once Paradise Park along the Silver River in Ocala. This was a park for blacks only during the days of segregation. Blacks were not allowed at the spring head unless they worked there. There was a glass bottom boat that came down here and took the people of color on boat rides. This is what's left.
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

This concrete wall actually stood across the road in a London suburb, it was paid for by residents, why? to separate their privately owned houses from the newly built council houses because they didn't want to mix with "the poor people"..
This was in the 1950's, not SO long ago really, can you imagine the reponse of the authorities were such a thing to occur today ?!

“As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash.” (Harper Lee)
A reminder of who we once were. Uncomfortable, but historically accurate. Taken at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, Miami.

Washington (AP)—The supreme court ruled Monday that the states of the nation do not have the right to separate Negro and white pupils in different public schools.
By a unanimous 9-0 vote, the high court held that such segregation of the races is unconstitutional. Chief Justice Earl Warren read the historic decision to a packed but hushed gallery of spectators nearly two years after Negro residents of four states and the District of Columbia went before the court to challenge the principle of segregation.
The ruling does not end segregation at once. Further hearings were set for this fall to decide how and when to end the practice of segregation. Thus a lengthy delay is likely before the decision is carried out.
Is this segregation? Welsh speaking children to the left, non Welsh speaking children to the right - and keep your distance!

Back door which led to the porter's quarters in the St. Thomas, train station. Because they were African American, they had bunks (5 high), in a separate section of the building. They laid over here waiting for their next train.
Segregation, discrimination, and racism were not just southern issues; they were alive in the North as well. In Omaha, newspapers such as The Monitor and The Guide helped to bring attention to these issues in the early 20th century; by the late 1930s The Omaha Star was fighting the fight. The Omaha Star was the voice of the African-American community and was involved in the civil rights movement, fighting discrimination and racial injustice. One of their battles was getting African-American teachers hired in Omaha Public Schools. During the Civil Rights era, some leaders within Omaha Public Schools thought African-Americans were not qualified to be teachers and only let them teach in predominantly African-American schools. This article from 1946 represents how The Omaha Star brought attention to this injustice, and ultimately won the battle they had been fighting for a long time. Both in the past and in the present, African-American newspapers play a large role in voicing the concerns of the community.

The Froebel School Strike
On the 18th. September 1945, hundreds of white students at Froebel School walked out of their classes to protest against the presence of African-American students at the institution.
According to the Gary Post-Tribune, the striking students “Urged that Froebel school be reserved for whites only” or that they be transferred to other schools themselves.
While the conflict between segregation and integration was far from new, the student strike in Gary would call into question the very values the United States fought to uphold during World War II, which had formally ended just two weeks before the “hate strike.”
The Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, composed of black ministers, made this point clear when it issued its “Appeal to reason” to the citizens of Gary, Indiana:
'It is indeed regrettable to note that after
the nation has spent approximately 190
billion dollars, the colored citizens of Gary
have sent about 4,000 of their sons, brothers,
and husbands to battlefields around the world
and have supported every war effort that our
government has called upon us to support,
in a united effort to destroy Nazism and to
banish from the face of the earth all that Hitler,
Mussolini, and Tojo stood for; to find in our
midst those who are endeavoring to spread
disunity, race-hatred, and Hitlerism in our
community'.
(Gary Post-Tribune, 20th. September 1945)

This is the tomb of Homer Plessy. He went to court in the 1890's to fight segregation on trains. The US Supreme Court upheld the local law requiring segregation, and by extension all racial segregation laws across the country in Plessy versus Ferguson in 1896. This was not overturned until the 1950's.
