To test a ruling that outlawed segregation of bus stations and terminals serving interstate travelers, biracial groups of men and women volunteered to take bus rides through the South, using the "wrong" facilities at stops. Several Freedom Rides were injured because of mob violence instigated by segregationist,eliciting an outpouring of support and concern. A gouache by May Stevens called "Freedom Riders"(1963) honors the volunteers.

I was at the corner of Witchduck and Cleveland today and got the chance to snap off these pictures of the continuing demolition of the formerly segregated Union Kempsville High School.
They aren't the greatest pictures but what are you gonna do eh?
Natalie Moore gave a terrific and insightful presentation on her book, “The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation."

Alta would be heaven if it wasn't so segregated. Snowboarders are people too, and "yes, we can handle a traverse."
If you would like to tell Connie why Alta is behind the times, or you are a family planning a ski trip but your kid snowboards, or you just plain think that segregation is ignorant, contact this person below...

Let her know if you think that skiers and snowboarders should be be able to have fun at every ski resort in the world TOGETHER!
(Please don't leave two of the last three resorts in the U.S. to allow fun for both skiers and boarders to be in UTAH!)

A little recalled secret of the National Park Service was that for decades it was instructed to follow local laws, which meant in the South following Segregation. In no park was this more apparent than at Shenandoah, both due to being the first National Park in the South as well as having its leading political proponent Gov Harry Byrd being a fierce segregationist. By 1937 some 1 million visitors had gone to Shenandoah, including 10000 African-Americans. Worried about integrated campsites, Shenandoah quickly moved to establish the "Lewis Mountain Negro Area", opening a year later. It was mostly staffed by the former staff members of Skyland, who were all black-until they were all fired and replaced by all white workers when the Virginia Sky-Line Company took over. Ironically Lewis Mountain soon became known as the best facility in Shenandoah, famed for its food and its big bands playing Boogie-Woogie music. Lloyd Tutt, the African-American manager of Lewis Mountain, recalled frequently turning away white visitors from staying, though the restaurant became unofficially integregated.
Even so, the segregation did not sit right with the Roosevelt Administration, which pushed for full integration of all federal parks. Sec of Interior Harold Ickes continually pushed for integration, which was finally tested cased in 1939. Negative response was limited, and after the park reopened following WWII the government pushed to fully integrate the park. The biggest opposition was from the Virginia Sky-Line Company. But with some political trading, Shenandoah National Park finally became fully integrated in 1950, a full decade before the rest of Virginia.
Lewis Mountain remained a popular African-American spot until the late 1960s.

During the segregation period, blacks and whites traveled on separate transportation. This train car was for black passengers. (Museum note: this very large train car was lowered into the museum while it was under construction, and then the museum was built around the car. Because of its size, there would have been no way to get the car into the building after it was completed.) PhilSantaMariaPhotography.com
