American Civilization: Whites only! Coloreds click here

The Remember Segregation website, honoring civil rights martyr Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, is meant to be an antidote to the pablum that is served up about the history of race relations in this country. The site is divided into "white" and "colored" sections, the latter urging that "…for your protection and for the sake of decency, please remain within your side of this web page. If you should happen to move into an area designated for persons of the white race, your safety cannot be guaranteed." Once you get past the chilling opening pages, you'll find a bio of Dr. King, a photo gallery, a civil rights timeline, audio versions of the "I have a dream" and "I've been to the mountaintop" speeches, and a selection of other writing. <http://www.RememberSegregation.org/>

Photography: Teenie Harris Archive

Charles "Teenie" Harris' "photographs are unsurpassed in the range of subjects they portray and for their ability to evoke the spirit of an era and to display the humanity of a people. Harris' 40-year career with the Pittsburgh Courier, one of the largest and most influential Black newspapers in the country, began as the nation emerged from the Depression and ended with the Civil Rights Movement. Numbering upwards of 80,000 images, this archive represents the largest single collection of photographic images of any Black community in the United States -- or the world for that matter....in its breadth and in its rich documentation of the life and community spirit of Black urban America, the Teenie Harris collection surpasses that of any other African American photographer. In the long run, his photographs may cause Pittsburgh's Hill District to join New York City's Harlem in forming our view of urban Black life from the 1930s to the 1960s....Using the [Carnegie M]useum's online collection search page, you can now view over 18,000 images in the collection...." -- from the website. <http://www.cmoa.org/teenie/info.asp>
