Jim Crow laws

Jim Crow laws
Jim Crow laws—sometimes, as in Florida, part of state constitutions—mandated the segregation of public schools, public places, and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains for whites and blacks. The U.S. military was already segregated. President Woodrow Wilson, a Southerner, initiated segregation of federal workplaces at the request of southern Cabinet members in 1913. Etymology The phrase "Jim Crow Law" can be found as early as 1892 in the title of a New York Times article about Louisiana requiring segregated railroad cars.[2][3] The origin of the phrase "Jim Crow" has often been attributed to "Jump Jim Crow", a song-and-dance caricature of blacks performed by white actor Thomas D.

Ethno Med - Alaska Native - History - Historical Trauma - Geriatrics - Stanford Medicine Definition Historical trauma is the accumulative emotional and psychological pain over an individual’s lifespan and across generations as the result of massive group trauma (Yellow-Horse Brave Heart, 1995). Historical trauma can have varied effects on individuals and populations that may include: unsettled trauma or grief, depression, high mortality, increase of alcohol abuse, child abuse and domestic violence. Examples of historical trauma have been observed among Lakota and other American Indian populations, and Jewish Holocaust survivors and descendants (Brave Heart, 2000). Background The historical trauma of Alaska Natives is closely related to external events impacting them over hundreds of years; however, the underpinnings of historical trauma predate back to the ethnocentric stance of the Russians and the missionaries. Many older Alaska Natives grew up in a time when the basic foundation of the social life that bonds the Alaska Native culture and communities together was damaged.

Trysta Krick gets reaction from Alabama and Oklahoma players on the viral video of the New Jersey wrestler who had to cut his dreadlocks to compete in a match. USA TODAY SAN FRANCISCO – California on Wednesday became the first state to protect citizens from discrimination based on hairstyle, a law greeted with both enthusiasm and a touch of dismay by people of color. “I’m not going to say we shouldn’t have a law that allows us to wear our hair the way it naturally is, but it’s also sad that in 2019, we have to have one in the first place,” said Tiffany Dena Loftin, youth and college director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “It’s a step in the right direction,” she said, noting that the NAACP has monitored cases in which there was discrimination based on a natural hairstyle.

Equity, Humor, and Inuit Brainpower Equity’s not an option but laughter makes it happen more, Inuit elders told me when I facilitated leaders on Baffin Island, near Greenland. Unsure why your workplace acts as if all humans were not its highest currency? Wonder why we wage wars at work that kill opportunities and maim innocent people? Question why bumps and bruises strike down daily when you least expect? Stress increases from discrimination, and lack of healthy humor at work increases cortisol, a dangerous hormone that can be at odds with brainpower. No surprise that cortisol can decrease brainpower, since this mental toxin literally shrinks a brain itself, and can shave years off life. Few deny that inequity and diminished brainpower define toxic workplaces, yet Inuit leaders laugh as a serotonin tactic to lower unfair barriers. Equity proliferates where workers share secrets that prosper all In turn, seniors taught youth to navigate rugged tundra far north of tree lines. Inuit humor transforms hardship into hope at work

Fatalities and racism In conjunction with IRR News and the European Race Progamme, we are undertaking a number of rolling research projects to collate the extent of and analyse trends in deaths which are in one way or another connected to state and/or popular racism. The research results are published via regular online reports and briefing papers, as well as noted bi-weekly in our regular calendar of racism and resistance. Ongoing cases are also reported on IRR News. Deaths in custody: Examines suspicious deaths which take place in the custody of prisons, special hospitals and in encounters with the police; the ensuing inquests into such deaths and subsequent disciplining or punishment of those involved. Deaths related to racial violence: The most extreme cases of racial attack can result in a loss of life. This project examines all those cases which appear to be linked to racial violence, the conduct of the police, prosecuting authorities, any subsequent trial and conviction.

Science - The First Years Fallacy | Inside The Teenage Brain | FRONTLINE For certain functions, neurologists have found a critical period of time at which a child must have sensory or motor input. If a particular stimuli is not present at that time in early development, the window closes and the opportunity is lost forever. In a famous experiment, two scientists, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel, illustrated that a kitten, temporarily blinded in one eye at a crucial developmental period, would never recover its sight in that eye even when the blindfold was taken off. It would not develop what is called binocular vision. The other mechanism guiding brain development is called "experience-dependent" and refers to experiences that are unique not to the species, but to the individual. Most Learning Takes Place Throughout Our Lives Most human learning is not dependent on sensitive or critical periods or on lessons being taught at a particular age. For language development as a whole, it appears that the critical period is much longer than it is for sight.

Wanted: 100 Alaska Native men Alaska Native men are being asked to look inward, and then step forward as mentors and role models to help break cycles of abuse across Alaska. Can a single generation of men transform our society? On a cold winter day in January, men from around Alaska journeyed to an office building in Anchorage for a meeting unlike any they'd attended in their lives. Inside a conference room at the Cook Inlet Tribal Center, with no women present, they spent hours speaking with each other about their lives, their hopes and dreams, and the individual role they each might have in offering tangible hope of a better life for their family members and neighbors. "The solutions have to come from Native men," said Patrick Anderson, the chief executive officer of Chugachmiut -- a nonprofit health consortium of seven tribal organizations in the Chugach region -- and the man who convened the meeting. More than 200 villages dot Alaska, many that have struggled with alcoholism, suicide, sexual abuse and violence.
