Ghosts of segregation : American racism, hidden in plain sight / by Frishman, Rich,photographer.(CARDINAL)884611; Foster, B. Brian,author.(CARDINAL)879921; Perry, Imani,1972-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)356331;
Memories -- Traces -- Monuments -- Doors -- Places -- Remainders -- Ghosts."Seven years ago, Richard Frishman embarked on a 25,000-mile journey in his car that took him from his home state of Washington to Maine, from Mississippi to Michigan. The photographs he took along the way--in major cities, backwater towns and in the countryside--capture structures and landscapes that speak to America's history of racial oppression. Frishman's goal in documenting these places and sites was to heighten awareness, motivate action and spark an honest conversation about the legacy of racial injustice in America today. As he assembled his work, and wrote detailed captions that tell the fascinating and often horrifying stories behind the photographs, he recognized that combining forces with a writer who could imbue the book with a personal touch would add an even deeper dimension. Hence, each section of the book opens with an essay by noted sociologist and Mississippi-native B. Brian Foster that eloquently speaks to the memories, the history and the ongoing struggles of Black people in the United States. Within this collection, readers will witness a history of white supremacist violence and institutional racism. A history of segregated bathrooms, beaches, churches, dining areas, doors, hospitals, hotels, waiting rooms, and water. But there arehistories of Black aliveness here too. Histories of Black migration, Black entrepreneurship, Black pleasure and play, Black protest and organizing, Black singing and dancing, and Black placemaking. This remarkable book brings home a powerful truth: theseghosts of segregation haunt us because they are very much alive. The stories and photographs in this book seek to preserve the evidence of our nation's sins. When these telling traces are erased, the lessons they contain are easily denied and forgotten.Particularly by those who seek to deny and forget"--

The strange career of Jim Crow / by Woodward, C. Vann(Comer Vann),1908-1999.(CARDINAL)159120;
Bibliography: pages 221-224.This study became one of the basic books in America on this subject after the first edition was published in 1955. Its popularity continued to soar with the second edition of this much-honored work. In the third edition, C. Vann Woodward brings to a close his account of the strange career of Jim Crow by discussing the ramifications of his demise as a legal entity. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 legally ended Jim Crowism. Five days after the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, the Watts riots exploded, heralding a new era. Woodward describes the confusing, dramatic, often shattering events that took place after that--the murder of Martin Luther King; white backlash encouraged by black activism; the effect of the Vietnam War upon the civil rights movement; and the change in national mood when Richard Nixon replaced Lyndon Johnson in the White House. He also identifies many personalities who came to prominence after 1965, including H. Rap Brown, Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Malcolm X, Julian Bond, Bobby Seale, and George Wallace. "By 1965 ... when victory over legal Jim Crow at last seemed almost assured, the suppressed yearning for separate racial identity burst forth with startling force. Its spokesmen accused civil rights leaders of forfeiting racial identity and offering integration as a substitute. But integration with the white culture, they declared, was a betrayal of racial identity and an insult to racial pride. Hence the paradox of victory of the civil rights movement coinciding with violent escalation of protest. The new outburst was protesting something else. Its leaders were to offer some strange programs--all the old varieties of black nationalism, including the back-to-Africa one, and many new ones as well. Some expressions of impulse were irrational and some were violent, but behind them were the genuine needs that the struggle against segregation had not fulfilled."--Adapted from dust jacket.

Moore Street : growing up in the era of Jim Crow / by Lahuffman, Donald Waddell,author.;
Description of Fayetteville, North Carolina -- Downtown Fayetteville circa 1940-1960 --St. Joseph's Episcopal church -- Summer memories -- Boyhood days in Fayetteville -- A racially segregated town -- Lessons from home: coping with racism -- Education in Fayetteville -- Leisure time activities -- Some residents of Moorse Street"MOORE STREET: GROWING UP IN THE ERA OF JIM CROW is a compelling firsthand account of the author's boyhood years growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina during the era of racial segregation, circa 1942-1960. While the focus is on a neighborhood in Fayetteville, North Carolina, the story is a metaphor for the transcendences of manhood survival despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The story is told in a readable and warm manner seasoned with actual instances of things which occurred to a young man growing up in an African American family and community filled with love and positive support. This story had to be written in order to document insight into how life was growing up during this era in this Moore Street neighborhood by an eyewitness account." --
