@BenRossTransit “The whites-only restriction can’t be disentangled from the one-house restriction; they were meant to work together, with the purpose and effect of excluding people of color”

Today in Labor History September 10, 1962: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Civil Rights Leader, James Meredith, could be admitted to the University of Mississippi. White rioters burned cars, pelted federal agents and soldiers with rocks, bricks and shot at them. 31,000 soldiers were sent to quell the violence, the largest ever use of the Insurrection Act of 1807. Two people died. Meredith was harassed throughout his time at the university. He went on to organize the March against Fear from Memphis to Jackson. He also was active in the Voting Rights movement. He went on to become an adviser to the right-wing, segregationist Senator Jesse Helms.

Today in Labor History September 3, 1838: Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland to freedom in the north, where he became a leader of the abolitionist movement. During his lifetime, he wrote 3 autobiographies and became a best-selling author. He also fought for women’s suffrage and was the first black man nominated to run for vice president. Douglass opposed colonialism and segregated schools. He was the most photographed American of the 19th century, never smiling once for the camera so as to not play into the racist myth of the happy slave.

Something far more serious and somber from when I wandered around Pittsburgh on June 30: at the they had an amazing Smithsonian exhibit on The Green Book and segregation in the early 20th century spanning all the way into the 1970s. Somber and eye-opening.

There was an amazing interactive exhibit where you were taking a trip through the US and making decisions based on information in the Green Book. Extremely well-done.

White supremacists are calling for a “peaceful separation” from the United States — and a ban on people of color moving to New England.

Almost halfway through this video, Dr. Manning talks about the “separate-but-equal” days of her hospital, where segregation meant that the white side of the building was clean and well-maintained, but the Black side was a dump.

“The parent said she has since been reassured by her principal that he plans to staff core classes w/certified teachers, a decision that is made on a campus-by-campus basis. Still, she remains worried about the quality of edu at NES schools.”

Ya think?
& I’m betting… that their teaching contract doesn’t include…training their colleagues?

A fascinating look at something many of us took for granted in our youths, but is now an endangered species: the public pool.
