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."
Charlie McClendon runs the music ministry at Goodwill Baptist Church in Hampton. McClendon was integral in ending music segregation in the Tidewater region with his group Charlie McClendon and the Magnificents in the 1960s. McClendon photographed on on Sunday Dec. 2, 2012. (Photo by Pat Jarrett)

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!)
I know all about recycling system like Non-biogredable,biogradable etc. And Just saw this at camp john hay and i can tell that they are pretty specific when it comes to segregation system.. And i love the colours too.. :)
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
The Montpelier Train Station was built in 1910 and is today a museum with exhibits dealing with Segregation in Virginia and the United States. The Historic Station also serves as the community Post Office hold Zip Code 22957It stands on the Constitution Highway near the entrance to James Madison's Montpelier.

Certain private Christian based clubs or "lodges" that had previously practiced de jure segregation and sexism as little as fifty years ago no longer discriminate; however, the affect from the past has created an inevitable de facto segregation.
In fact, this club just welcome their first black family as members. Although the interaction was awkward between the applicant and the member taking the application because the white gentleman was concerned that the family would feel "out of place" or offended because there were no other black members. It takes a lot of courage and understanding to break down these barriers.
The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was printed in Great Britain. The card was posted in Chichester using a 4d. stamp on Thursday the 7th. August 1969. The postmark states 'Chichester Festival Theatre - 13 May to 13 September.'
The card was sent to:
Miss L. B. Howell,
Clare Cottage,
Claremont Drive,
Esher,
Surrey.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"A lovely day again. We
have not been out so far
today.
I am like a lobster, so we
have decided to go out
in the cool this evening.
Time is going very fast.
R & R are coming Friday
night, so then D & I may
be able to have a nice
walk on the sands.
Lots of love darling,
From Chubby xxx"
Well they certainly wouldn't be walking on the sands anywhere near where the photograph was taken, judging from the stony nature of the beach.
Bracklesham Bay
Bracklesham Bay is a 200.6-hectare (496-acre) biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in West Sussex.
Bracklesham is a coastal bay on the west side of the Manhood Peninsula. The bay looks out onto the English Channel, and the Isle of Wight is visible from the beach, as is the Nab Tower lighthouse and the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.
The villages of Bracklesham and East Wittering are situated in the centre of the bay, and it is bordered by the town of Selsey on the southeastern tip, and the village of West Wittering on the west side.
-- Biology and Geology of Bracklesham Bay
This stretch of foreshore has unimproved grazing pastures, shingle, salt marsh, reed beds and ditches. The pasture is subject to seasonal flooding, and it is important for its breeding and overwintering birds. The site has highly fossiliferous Eocene (56 to 34 million years ago) beds with over 160 fish species.
There are also much more recent Middle Pleistocene marine deposits dating to around 500,000 years ago which provide a record of changes in sea levels.
-- The Medmerry Managed Realignment Scheme
The earth embankment at Medmerry holding back the sea was originally built in the 1960's; however the coastline in the area was subject to frequent flooding events which were becoming unsustainable.
The Medmerry scheme arose out of consultations from the 2008 Pagham to East Head Coastal Defence Strategy, with the managed realignment scheme being adopted. In 2013 the Environment Agency completed a new 7 km inland floodbank and breach in the shingle wall to provide flood relief, and this enabled creation of the Medmerry RSPB nature reserve.
The scheme cost £28 million. It was the largest open-coast scheme in Europe, and one of the most sustainable projects that the Environment Agency has completed.
A willow and wire woven periwinkle art installation was created by environmental artists Mark Antony Haden Ford and Rebecca Ford. It has been mistaken by some visitors as depicting the poop emoji.
A Pledge to Give Up Smoking
So what else happened on the day that Chubby posted the card?
Well, on the 7th. August 1969, all but 10 of the residents of the small town of Greenfield, Iowa (population 2,243) pledged to give up (or never to start) smoking cigarettes, as well as cigars and pipes, in advance of the shooting of a film produced and directed by Norman Lear.
A total of 2,464 cards pledging to quit smoking or not to start were signed after lobbying by local leaders with the assistance of the Girl Scouts. The movie, starring Dick Van Dyke and Bob Newhart, was called 'Cold Turkey.' It featured the fictitious town of Eagle Rock, Iowa quitting tobacco, and was released in 1971.
Segregation in Alabama
Also on that day, a panel of three judges concluded that de facto racial segregation still existed in 8 city schools and 15 county school districts in Alabama. The largest of the districts cited were in Tuscaloosa County and in the city of Dothan.
In all cases, the systems continued to operate separate white and Negro schools, and in some cases, practised busing of negro students to all-Negro schools when a predominantly white school was nearer to their homes.
The systems were directed to de-segregate by the 1970 – 1971 school year.
Lunar Soil
Also on the 7th. August 1969, NASA officials announced at the Ames Research Center in Houston that testing of the lunar soil brought back by the Apollo 11 mission, showed no organisms and no "positive traces of life".
Scientists conceded that some of the Moon rocks had "a trace of organic material" (10 parts per million), but concluded that it was likely caused by Earth contamination from rubber gloves, tools and plastic bags that stored the samples.
Testing included injection of Moon dust into laboratory mice, spectrometer analysis and burning the samples for signs of carbon.
A New Hot-Line
Also on that day, U.S. President Richard Nixon and West Germany's Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger agreed to establish a "hot line" for instant communication between the two allies.
South Carolina State Capitol , Columbia SC 09/15/10 strom thurmond
"Thurmond supported racial segregation with the longest filibuster ever conducted by a single senator, speaking for 24 hours and 18 minutes in an unsuccessful attempt to derail the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Cots were brought in from a nearby hotel for the legislators to sleep on while Thurmond rambled on about random things, including his grandmother's biscuit recipe. Other Southern senators, who had agreed as part of a compromise not to filibuster this bill, were upset with Thurmond because they thought his defiance made them look bad to their constituents.
According to journalist Jeff Sharlet, he was a member of the Family (also known as the Fellowship), described by prominent evangelical Christians as one of the most politically well-connected fundamentalist organizations in the U.S."
"Throughout the 1960s, Thurmond generally received relatively low marks from the press and his fellow senators in the performance of his Senate duties, as he often missed votes and rarely proposed or sponsored noteworthy legislation."
"Thurmond decried the Supreme Court opinion in Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, which ordered the immediate desegregation of schools in the American South. Thurmond praised President Nixon and his "Southern Strategy" of delaying desegregation, saying Nixon "stood with the South in this case."
"Thurmond never explicitly renounced his earlier views on racial segregation"
