Jim Crow terminals : the desegregation of American airports / by Ortlepp, Anke,author.(CARDINAL)350293;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-199) and index.The emergence of the Jim Crow airport -- On location : direct action against airport segregation -- In the courts : private litigation as a road to desegregation -- Changing the law of the land : regulatory and statutory reform -- Back in the courts : federal antisegregation lawsuits.Historical accounts of racial discrimination in transportation have focused until now on trains, buses, and streetcars and their respective depots, terminals, stops, and other public accommodations. It is essential to add airplanes and airports to this narrative, says Anke Ortlepp. Air travel stands at the center of the twentieth century's transportation revolution, and airports embodied the rapidly mobilizing, increasingly prosperous, and cosmopolitan character of the postwar United States. When segregationists inscribed local definitions of whiteness and blackness onto sites of interstate and even international transit, they not only brought the incongruities of racial separation into sharp relief but also obligated the federal government to intervene. Ortlepp looks at African American passengers; civil rights organizations; the federal government and judiciary; and airport planners, architects, and managers as actors in shaping aviation{u2019}s legal, cultural, and built environments. She relates the struggles of black travelers-- to enjoy the same freedoms on the airport grounds that they enjoyed in the aircraft cabin-- in the context of larger shifts in the postwar social, economic, and political order. Jim Crow terminals, Ortlepp shows us, were both spatial expressions of sweeping change and sites of confrontation over the renegotiation of racial identities. Hence, this new study situates itself in the scholarly debate over the multifaceted entanglements of race and space.

Separate but equal : Plessy v. Ferguson / by Rauf, Don.(CARDINAL)464132;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 123-124) and index.A ticket toward equal rights -- A history of discrimination -- The case for equality -- Louisiana's case against Plessy -- The Supreme Court upholds segregation -- The legacy of Plessy: separate but unequal -- Questions to consider -- Primary source documents."Following the Civil War, feelings were mixed about the freedoms that Lincoln had granted to African American citizens through his Emancipation Proclamation. A group in Louisiana decided to challenge a state law that required companies to have railway cars separated by race. They orchestrated a situation in which a white-looking black man would sit in the white only part of the train and announce he was colored. In a landmark decision that supported the racist feelings in some areas of the country following the Civil War, the effort to secure equal rights at this time failed. The book provides insight into the details of the case and also includes questions to consider, primary source documents, and a chronology"--Provided by the publisher.9-12
