Black Peoples of America - How Slaves Lived - History For more information on counter-intuitive facts of ancient, medieval, and modern history, see Anthony Esolen’s The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilization. Africans sold as slaves in the Americas had to rely on their owners providing them with housing or building materials, pots and pans for cooking and eating, food and clothing. Many slaves did the best they could with what they were given. Most did not dare complain for fear of receiving a whipping or worse punishment. Housing Slaves were allocated an area of the plantation for their living quarters. They had little in the way of furniture and their beds usually made of straw or old rags. Slaves who worked in the plantation house generally had slightly better housing nearer to the house and were given better food and clothing than those slaves that worked in the fields. Food Sometimes they were given pots and pans for cooking, but more often they had to make their own. Clothing Free Time
Norman Rockwell's "The Problem We All Live With" To Be Exhibited at The White House - Norman Rockwell Museum - The Home for American Illustration “I was about 18 or 19 years old the first time that I actually saw it,” says Ruby Bridges Hall, who now serves on the board of Norman Rockwell Museum. “It confirmed what I had been thinking all along–that this was very important and you did this, and it should be talked about… At that point in time that’s what the country was going through, and here was a man who had been doing lots of work–painting family images–and all of the sudden decided this is what I am going to do… it’s wrong and I’m going to say that it’s wrong.” The illustration appeared in the January 14, 1964 issue of “Look” magazine, and earned Rockwell letters of both praise and criticism from readers unused to such direct social commentary from the illustrator.

Rosa Parks Refuses to Give Up Her Seat | How Rosa Parks Fought for Civil Rights Sitting Down On Thursday evening December 1, 1955, after a long day of work as a seamstress for a Montgomery, Alabama, department store, Rosa Parks boards a city bus to go home. Tired as she is, Mrs. Parks walks past the first few — mostly empty — rows of seats marked "Whites Only." It's against the law for an African American like her to sit in these seats. She finally settles for a spot in the middle of the bus. The bus continues along its route. QUESTIONS FOR ROSA PARKS Was Rosa Parks nervous standing her ground?

Montgomery Bus Boycott: A Victory for Civil Rights – Speakeasy News Sixty years ago, on 20 December, 1956, Martin Luther King and his fellow campaigners won a first victory in the long battle for African-American civil rights. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which had begun when Rosa Parks famously refused to move to the back of the bus, finally ended after 381 days, when the Supreme Court ruled bus segregation illegal. But Rosa Parks wasn’t the first African American woman to refuse to give up her seat in a Montgomery bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on 1 December, 1955. In the previous year, four other women had refused to move seats. Colvin was arrested. But Colvin wasn’t forgotten. Boycott When Rosa Parks, a middle-aged, eminently respectable NAACP activist refused to move to the back of the bus, this time the community felt it had found its spokesperson. In parallel, the NAACP decided it was time to challenge bus segregation in court. Webpicks Useful websites and online tools for classroom use > African American History on the Web

"The Problem we all live with" de Norman Rockwell Il y a des peintures qui sont devenues des sortes d'icônes de l'engagement et de la dénonciation. On doit le succès de cette oeuvre à cette petite fille noire dans sa petite robe blanche immaculée au milieu des ces adultes en costume. Mais pour beaucoup, il est impossible de citer le nom de l'auteur de cette célèbre toile datant de 1964. On ne connaît pas davantage le nom de ce premier enfant de couleur qui a intégré une école de blancs ?

Strange Fruit: the first great protest song | Music It is a clear, fresh New York night in March 1939. You're on a date and you've decided to investigate a new club in a former speakeasy on West 4th Street: Cafe Society, which calls itself "The Wrong Place for the Right People". Even if you don't get the gag on the way in – the doormen wear tattered clothes – then the penny drops when you enter the L-shaped, 200-capacity basement and see the satirical murals spoofing Manhattan's high-society swells. You've heard the buzz about the resident singer, a 23-year-old black woman called Billie Holiday who made her name up in Harlem with Count Basie's band. And then it happens. She begins her final number. "Southern trees bear a strange fruit." Do you applaud, awed by the courage and intensity of the performance, stunned by the grisly poetry of the lyrics, sensing history moving through the room? Meeropol worked out a tune and Strange Fruit quickly became a fixture at leftwing gatherings during 1938, sung by his wife and various friends.

Au terme de la guerre civile américaine, aussi connue sous le nom de Guerre de Sécession (1861-1865), le Congré Américain vote en 1865 le 13ème amendement qui abolit l’esclavage. Pendant la période de Reconstruction (1865-1877), cette nouvelle législation fut imposée dans les Etats du sud, autrefois esclavagistes.
