Golden Garden Chinese Takeaway, 195 Kingston Road, Epsom KT19 0AB.
I strive to be accurate in all respects in my posts to CRWDP. Flickr geotagging is a big distraction, It is often, as in this case, just plain wrong. That said, some of the listed addresses don't help. If one is to believe the boundaries depicted on Google Maps, Epsom and Ewell are very oddly laid out. However, this takeaway is in Epsom.

In India many young children opt out of education in favour of a life on the streets or working as child labourers. Realising that people living in slums don’t have an income proof, schools use this as an excuse to reject applications. The schools employ different ways to discourage them. Ranging from shortage of admission forms to outright humiliation. For the poorest group of children, poverty is both a cause and a result of inaccessibility to education. The poor cannot afford education, and the illiterate cannot hope to earn enough to overcome poverty.
I've chosen the motto of Gateacre Communty Comprehensive as the title for this photo of the sign to their former premises on Grange Lane (which I got by pointing the camera through the fence and zooming right in)
I had wanted to get a few decent shots of the former school (where a friend of mine Russell 'Gasfire' Tunney was before he came to Underlea where I went) but by the time I got there, demolition was well underway and there's nothing more disheartening than photos of a building during demolition.
Had the school been left standing, it could have played a 1970s comprehensive, but I suppose keeping a building empty isn't cost-effective. This sign is living proof that the school did admit disabled kids.

I have fallen in love with this shot. So much that I have printed it as a 48x36 print and it is framed and hanging in my bedroom. It is, for me, a wonderful shot which captures the energy and eagerness which these two thoroughbreds exhibited about six strides from the starting gate. Muscles and tendons straining, nostrils flared, striving for that lead. Their jockey's, while astride a coiled spring releasing and recoiling repeatedly over the soft track. From the time those gates spring open, to the time the jockey dismounts, the horses are creating their own wave. Relentlessly pursuing the spot in front. Relentlessly eager to cross that finish line. I haven't had a chance to edit the rest of the shots from that day at the races, but hope to soon.

The “2018 HLPF Side Event on Shaping Smarter and More Sustainable Cities: Striving for Sustainable Development Goals" held on 12 July 2018 in New York provided a platform to debate the impact of frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT) on cities, to present current national and international initiatives such as the United for Smart Sustainable Cities and to discuss the challenges and opportunities faced in shaping smart and sustainable cities at the local level.

Description:
Introduction for Kennedy Library’s exhibition “Strive and Struggle: Documenting the Civil Rights Movement at Cal Poly, 1967-1975,” which pays tribute to the students, administration, and national civil rights leaders that brought about lasting changes to Cal Poly.
In honor of Black History Month, Kennedy Library is showcasing an exhibition
titled “Strive and Struggle: Documenting the Civil Rights Movement at Cal Poly,
1967-1975.” In collaboration with University Archives, Kennedy Library staff,
Graphic Design student assistants, and History Department graduate students,
the exhibition is presented through the pages of the campus newspaper, the
Mustang Daily, and explores campus reactions, struggles and triumphs during
the Civil Rights years, as well as the efforts to establish Ethnic Studies courses,
recruit black faculty, and combat racial prejudice on campus.
Though the peak of the Civil Rights Era fell between 1955 and 1968, as Myrlie
Evers indicated, the struggle continued long after this period. The exhibit
focuses on the height of the Civil Rights Movement on the Cal Poly campus
during these latter years.
The exhibit also highlights national black leaders who visited Cal Poly’s campus during this period. Visitors included political leaders, sports legends, comedians, musicians, educators, and civil rights activists. These men and women shared their experiences combating racism, encouraged cooperation, and discouraged apathy. The final section documents the achievement of black leaders who have advanced the cause of African Americans by attaining unprecedented levels of political power and achieving important “firsts.”
“We must continue to strive and struggle for equality no matter how tired or successful we are ourselves, to help all our brothers and sisters... we must pick up and finish the work that others have died for trying to get our rights.”
-- Myrlie Evers, African American Activist, as quoted during her campus visit on Jan. 8, 1973. The Mustang Daily, Cal Poly

Blocks of townhouses in West Harlem, originally built by the developer David E. King as the King Model Houses (1891-1893). See introductory comments here.
Seen here: McKim, Mead & White's Italianate facades on the north side of 139th Street. These are executed in several very pleasing shades of ochre-ish brick, and are my own favorites of the set.
