Note to Nomad: When I collected these, it made me think of that day you and I were on here posting pictures that made us think...and feel.

And then we got ragged on for being too gloomy. Remember? That was a good day. :-6

Pictures start in next post.

North Carolina- A black man drinks at a segregated fountain, 1950.

Note the fact the "white" fountain is much nicer and the "black" fountain is like an afterthought.

This is one that really gets me.

Breaker Boys1910

â€œBreaker Boys,â€ whose job was to separate coal from slate, in South Pittston, Pa. Once again, pictures swayed the public in a way cold statistics had not, and the country enacted laws banning child labor.

Hmm....could be. This is the site it came from:

It still has impact though. Sadly.

Lyndon Johnson Is Sworn In 1963

Isn't that the suit Jackie had on that was blood spattered? I can't tell but I heard she refused to remove it because "the People put it (the blood) there."

Four Years After Segregation Was Outlawed

Elizabeth Eckford strides through a gantlet of white students, including Hazel Bryant (mouth open the widest), on her way to Little Rock’s Central High.

I can see the hate in this picture.

This one upsets me probably the most and should never be forgotten.

Lynching 1930- Marion, Indiana

A mob of 10,000 whites took sledgehammers to the county jailhouse doors to get at these two young blacks accused of raping a white girl; the girlâ€™s uncle saved the life of a third by proclaiming the manâ€™s innocence.

Thanks Magenta, that's good to know. I will check those other songs out. I don't really know how popular they were here, I just remember that "Beds" was on the radio ALL the time.

Uh oh...that bad huh? Not exactly an ode to US, I suppose? I'll check it out later on and see what it says.

I kind of thought it might be, but no, I wasn't sure. I could barely make out that it was a person on the end of that...rope. That's disgusting. And no, I haven't seen this particular photo before that I can recall.
