Segregation at work
He went across the hall and went to Dr. Blalock's office and said, I would like my pay. The way you talked to me this morning, I can't take that. I wasn't raised that way. And I want my pay. - Nat Crippens, North Nashville community historian, describing Vivien Thomas's reaction after an angry Dr. Blalock swore at him.

Quitting a job was often the only way to resist mistreatment on the job. The few labor laws that existed did not protect black workers. Talking back and openly resisting abuse was dangerous. Under the conditions of Jim Crow, African Americans frequently changed jobs, leaving whites complaining about the shiftless nature of black workers.

African Americans were confined to the least paid, least desirable, most dangerous and unstable jobs. White workers often went on strike to prevent black workers from being employed in "white" jobs. Black women were almost entirely limited to working as domestic laborers.

In the end, Vivien Thomas could work or not work for Dr. Blalock. He could go someplace else, and Dr. Blalock knew it... I think we have to understand that race relations and Jim Crow were not just a static system. There is a lot of negotiation going on between the races at all times. - Don Doyle, historian

He actually apologized to this nineteen year old youngster. - Nat Crippens, North Nashville community historian

Living with Segregation: At School
I knew we had old textbooks. I could see the old textbooks from other white high schools like the math books or the algebra book - clearly a hand-me-down. - Kwame Lillard, Nashville civil rights leader

For every dollar invested in white public schools, the Nashville Board of Education only spent fifty cents for black schools. Black teachers were paid less than their white colleagues. New programs instituted in the progressive era were channeled to white institutions, while black schools were systematically neglected.

I knew it was a little raggedy. But the Pythagorean theorem is ancient. It's all in that book anyway. So, you learn the material to fight with... Our teachers told us to look past the age of the book. Don't worry about it, where it comes from. That's a game to try and throw you off, you know. And -- it didn't work. We got the information from our teachers who told us, you got to be prepared, son. - Kwame Lillard, Nashville civil rights leader

On February 23, 1942, my older brother Harold filed suit on his own behalf and on behalf of others, challenging the validity of the action of the Board of Education of Nashville, Tennessee, in establishing fixed schedules of compensation for teachers which provided considerably larger salaries for white teachers than for Negro teachers having the same qualifications. - Vivien Thomas, in his autobiography

Find out more about the outcome of one of the first successful civil rights cases, argued by future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall.

Living with Segregation: At the Movies
If you went to the theatres, you would go in the front and you'd pay money and you'd go around to the side and go up the stairs to the balcony to watch a movie. - Elizabeth McClain, Nashville civil rights leader

When they needed popcorn or Cokes or something like that, they would have to go downstairs, go out, come around and get whatever they need to go back up to that balcony.- Bobby Lovett, historian

Black residents of Nashville created a separate world to escape the indignities of Jim Crow. There was a black business district downtown with banks, a publishing house and many independent entrepreneurs. In North Nashville, there were three predominantly African American institutions of higher learning. Black leaders and intellectuals, a strong middle class, and working class blacks formed a vibrant community in these neighborhoods. The neighborhood provided all services, from stores to movie theaters, from churches to funeral homes, schools, a library and a fire department.

We did not go to the white movies, because I refused to go through the alleys.- Marcus Gunter, former Vanderbilt colleague of Vivien Thomas

Living with Segregation: On Public Transportation
In 1896, Homer Plessy lost a civil rights case against John Howard Ferguson. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the classification of separate railway cars for whites and blacks on interstate trains as constitutional. The "separate but equal" Plessy v. Ferguson decision affirmed the countless local and state regulations that had been developing for more than two decades.

In 1905, the white majority in the Nashville city council passed a law that required the segregation of street cars.

Conductors are given police power and may abuse and arrest the colored people at will. The law, on its face, shows the mean, low spirit of race hate, for the whole object is to make the Negro feel that he is inferior to the white man, and therefore, unfit to ride on terms of equality with him.'- "The Voice of the Negro 2," Nashville newspaper, December 1905

Compared to other cities, Nashville segregated its streetcars relatively late. During the so-called Progressive Era in the early twentieth century, conditions for African Americans had generally deteriorated under the political leadership of people like Woodrow Wilson.

In Nashville and many other cities, African Americans boycotted the Jim Crow cars and founded their own transportation company.

The race means hereafter to make the white man pay for his prejudice.- "The Voice of the Negro 2," Nashville newspaper, December 1905

The following year, the boycott cost the Nashville Street Car Company $90,000 in revenue. But the city simply did not need two streetcar companies, and the smaller black company soon went out of business.

Living with Segregation: Facing Violence
Until the civil rights movement overturned systematic segregation, thousands of African Americans and other minorities were brutally maimed or killed by white vigilantes taking the law into their hands. Established law, which codified white supremacy, failed to protect the civil rights of black citizens. In the end, white segregation rested on open violence.

At the turn of the century, lynchings occurred every week, and most of the victims, denied the due process of courts, were innocent of the charges held against them. Some were not even accused of having committed a crime. Instead, whites invented the myth of the black rapist and portrayed lynching as a way to prevent the frequent rape of white women by black men. The real causes were economic competition, material greed, or simple terror to prevent blacks from wielding political influence. In some cases, consensual relationships between white women and black men provoked lynching. So-called miscegenation laws were at basis of all segregation legislation. They forbade blacks and whites to marry and have legitimate children. It was not until the mid-1960s that the Supreme Court abolished these laws as unconstitutional.

Nat Crippens, North Nashville community historian
A tense confrontation: It was very early in my life. I was seven years old and I lived on a street of shotgun houses, all of them made of wood, of course. And the boy next door to me when I was seven was seventeen at the time.

He had worked in a white family since he was twelve. And, apparently the family had a daughter who was eleven when he was twelve. And they grew up together. And most of the time during the summer, only the two of them were in the house together. And, inevitably, two kids like that sort of formed a closer relationship than they perhaps should have.

And the father forgot some papers. He was a businessman and came home one day and the boy ran out the back door. And obviously he had been engaged in the most taboo thing in the South at that time. And the only place he ran was home. And that happened in the morning, and by mid-afternoon, the word was around town in both the white and black communities that they were going to lynch him and string him up in front of the big black church, which was about a block from my home.

And both whites and blacks all afternoon were engaged in buying ammunition. And the only place to get ammunition was from a white hardware man. And whites criticized him for selling ammunition to blacks. And he said, "I'm in business. I'm going to sell to whoever will buy."

Anyway, about dusk dark, people began to collect in a vacant lot near my house. And by seven or eight o'clock, there were perhaps four or five hundred people down there, all male, all white. And during the afternoon, my father, who happened to be a minister, and about twenty or thirty other blacks congregated and had prayer meeting in our house. And they got whatever weapons together that they had. And they went next door to where this boy lived and they had vowed that if anybody came to take this boy, they'd have to take them first.

The resolution of the standoff: The top law official came up to the house next door, talked with the people there and was surprised that they were there. And he finally said, "Let's cut out all this small talk. We know this boy's here. We have watched this house ever since he came home. And you might as well give him to me, because they're going to come and get him." And my father and the others told him that they knew what the plan was and that they would not give the boy up.

And he got angry and said -- now, I heard this from my father -- he got angry and said, "It's cheaper to let one boy die than for this whole community to be destroyed." And they said, "We'll take the chance." And they said, "Well, it's enough people down there to get you." And my father and the others said, "There's enough people to take him. But fifty of them will be there in the morning if they take him." And he went back down there and this is what I heard, "Let's go get that N. Let's go get that N." I heard that for an hour or so and every time I heard it, I'd break out crying again. And my brother would, too. And my mother started howling, just crying.

But an hour or so later, we noticed the cars by their lights were going in all different directions. We thought they were surrounding the place. But actually, they were going home. They had decided that they couldn't see in the dark up there what was going on and that they were not going to take a chance.

Negro and White Man Sitting on Curb, Oklahoma, 1939.
Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Black-and-White Negatives

The problems of the Great Depression affected virtually every group of Americans. No group was harder hit than African Americans, however. By 1932, approximately half of African Americans were out of work. In some Northern cities, whites called for African Americans to be fired from any jobs as long as there were whites out of work. Racial violence again became more common, especially in the South. Lynchings, which had declined to eight in 1932, surged to 28 in 1933.

Although most African Americans traditionally voted Republican, the election of President Franklin Roosevelt began to change voting patterns. Roosevelt entertained African American visitors at the White House and was known to have a number of black advisors. According to historian John Hope Franklin, many African Americans were excited by the energy with which Roosevelt began tackling the problems of the Depression and gained "a sense of belonging they had never experienced before" from his fireside chats.

Still, discrimination occurred in New Deal housing and employment projects, and President Roosevelt, for political reasons, did not back all of the legislation favored by such groups as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). When the U.S. entered World War II, labor leader A. Philip Randolph threatened to organize a march on Washington to protest job discrimination in the military and other defense-related activities. In response, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802, stating that all persons, regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin, would be allowed to participate fully in the defense of the United States.

I see children gathered in front of a house with lots of nature surrounding the house.
I think that they may be gathered there to work (possibly slaves).
This makes me wonder, are these children slaves?

# data[].attributes.body
I see a bunch of black kids standing togther in what seems to be a run down looking school in like the country side.

I think that this is probably a colored school house and that this shows the inequailty between whites and blacks.

I wonder why it was just like this back then why people cared about the color of your skin so much. - Bella

# data[].attributes.body
I see the run down house, what I assume is a family of African Americans all gathered together looking back at the house, the image is black and white making it quite a long time ago when it was taken. I think that this family has lost their house due to the amount of money they had or were possibly even offspring of previous slaves that lived there. I wonder what this family has experienced in their lives and what they will do next?

# data[].attributes.body
What I see is a run down school with black kids near it and the boonies I think.

What I think is going on is that this is segreation in like the early 20th century cause white people went to their own schools while black kids did the same but got way less funds.

What I wonder is where is this located at.

# data[].attributes.body
See: I think a group of black children and a big "house" in the background.
Think: I assume that's where they had to live because of the anti-civil rights movement and they were segregated.
Wonder: Did this happen to all black people?

# data[].attributes.body
What I see is what looks like an African American group of kids in front of a house

What I think is going on is that they are all forced to stay together since they are all of the same race

What this makes me wonder is what exactly is the reason they are taking a picture if they are.

# data[].attributes.body
See - I see a bunch of kids gathering around a house
Think - I think what's going on in this picture is they were kicked out of their home and weren't allowed back in
Wonder - I wonder if Black African Americans were treated like slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
I see a house that looks slightly broken and a group of kids all huddled together and some people walking around in the back. I think that that this might be a school or something similar for black people. I wonder what is actually going on in this image and where exactly the house is.

# data[].attributes.body
I see some African American kids outside of a broken down house. I also see some people inside of it.
I think that it's a school for African American students because due to schools being segregated African American kids didn't get the best conditions to learn in.
I wonder who took this photo and where?

# data[].attributes.body
In this image i see what looks like a school building but it is very damaged and run down, a part of the ceiling isn't there and it looks like the bottom of the building is deteriorating. I also see a group of kids in the front who are all African American and some others leaving the building or running around who are also all African American.  I think that this is one of the schools that the African American children went to while being segregated from white people like one of the colored schools. What I wonder is did it cost more money to separate everyone by skin color instead of just keeping everyone in one school.

# data[].attributes.body
I see a group of children standing outside what looks like a pretty rundown building. There is even a huge hole in the ceiling of the house.
I think that these kids might be going to school in that building. It looks very dilapidated. I feel bad if that is true.
I wonder if this was a part of the "separate but equal" philosophy.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I see only black children, standing in front of a rundown building.
2.  I think they are posing for the picture, and they may be standing in the yard of their school building.
3. I wonder if the roof of the building leaks when it rains.

# data[].attributes.body
I see this old run-down building and there are a lot of black children outside and some adults as well.
I think they might be slaves because it looks like there are crops in the background and they also don't seem too happy
I wonder if they could be slaves or not - Michael C

# data[].attributes.body
I see a dozen of black kids standing in front of a broken-down house.
I think it's about the terrible condition that black people live in.
I wonder why skin color had led to problem like this?

# data[].attributes.body
"I see the run down house, what I assume is a family of African Americans all gathered together looking back at the house, the image is black and white making it quite a long time ago when it was taken.

I see a group of black students and behind them is what I think of their school.
I think that its a school or possibly their home.
Questions the image raises for me is what the students are doing, where are they?

# data[].attributes.body
see: i see groups of children and a house that seems like a orphanage  i dont actully know,
think: i think that this image is showing that this is where they children live

# data[].attributes.body
I see a group of Black American children in front of a building. It looks like a house.

I think that the children are in front of a school house because of the details above.

I wonder what it's like to attend a one-room school house, particularly as a black child.

# data[].attributes.body
1. i feel nothing really/neutral
2. i can not relate

# data[].attributes.body
The video makes me feel bad for the people who had to be separated in society due to racism and were not even treated as human.
The things in this video that I can relate to are simply bonding with someone no matter who they are because you two get each other but that is all tat is relatable to me.

# data[].attributes.body
1) This video makes me feel nothing since I don't feel anything I guess.

2) I guess I can relate with my own family since my family is complicated and I talk to certain family members.

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel upset at the fact that people had to live through this back then and had to be segregated just because of there skin color.

# data[].attributes.body
1. It makes me feel bad for black people during that time because they had to live like "rats", because they had to "hide" themselves from white people to not get in trouble.
2. I can't really relate to this because I don't have a similar experience.

# data[].attributes.body
1. This video makes me feel bad for how blacks had to live and be seperated from the whit people. it is like they had to live in the dark.

2. I cant relate to this because ive never been treated that way nor felt that way due to my race or ethnicity

# data[].attributes.body
1. This video makes me feel like back then the races were like different planets or different species. This video makes me feel mad since like its just unfair that skin color mattered so much back then.

2. Well no because like I wasnt around at that time and luckily I never had any opperison or stuff like that. But yea I could relate to me feeling that whiter looking people had a greater adavantage in socitey. Also I could relate to the bonding part since I have so many friends of different races and idenities and that stuff doesnt matter to me.

# data[].attributes.body
This makes me feel pity for the Black Americans at the time because they couldn't do anything without having to follow the rules of segregation which were against them.
I cannot relate to this.

# data[].attributes.body
1. This video seems unreal to me in that I can't believe this was a large part of our nation's history. It makes me sad because of it. It also makes me angry because I feel like we don't talk about this aspect of our nation's history much anymore, even though unofficially segregation still exists today.
2. I can only relate in terms of avoiding people during the height of the pandemic. I would move away from others outside, especially if they didn't have a mask on. However, I cannot relate to segregation because I am a white woman, especially in 2022.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I don't know how to describe it.
2) I can't relate to anything in this video.

# data[].attributes.body
1) The video makes me feel bad for them because they had to go through a lot of segregation and society treated them as a completely different species.
2) There isn't anything that I can really relate to this video.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes me feel sorry for the black people in the 1900s because of the separation laws, just walking around was hard for them.
I cannot relate.

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel uneasy because of all of the rules that black people had to follow due to the amount of melanin in their skin. I don't think there is anything I can relate to in this video since I was born with a lighter complexion i've never really experienced racism against being black or being hispanic. I guess I can relate to the amount of rules because being a girl in society there are these sets of rules that you have to follow which gets annoying and confusing but other than that I can't relate to this.

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel sad because blacks couldn't walk on the same sidewalk, they couldn't try shoes, & they couldn't even use the same restroom

I can relate to this because there are people that are bonding with humans, Just because someone is a different skin color doesn't mean you should be excluded

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel upset for black Americans and how they had certain rules on how they were supposed to behave in public and where to walk, who to speak to.
I can't relate to the video.

# data[].attributes.body
1. This video makes me very upset - I can't imagine why society would condone segregation.
2.  I can not imagine what it felt like for the people in video, the fear they must have felt is insurmountable.

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel very bad especially towards the end of it because the way blacks were treated as not even human. They were not allowed to walk the same sidewalk as a white woman or look up at a white man. At the end the guy explained how someone who was able to do the bare minimum and respect a black person and consider him human was not common.
I don't think I can relate to this because I haven't experienced something like this

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel really sad. It just reminds me that there are so many problems with our country and it's history. It makes me wonder why this was seen as socially acceptable. I feel for all the people who had to go through life afraid of being friendly and just themselves was a sign of "disrespect."
I can't relate which really shows my privilege.

# data[].attributes.body
1. This video makes me feel bad because of how blacks were forced to live their lives separated from whites and how they weren't treated fairly.

2. I can't relate since my experiences aren't really similar.

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel disappointed and overall disgusted with the world about how people would treat other humans just because of their skin color. It is terrible that people would have to go through that and they couldn't even do anything about it.

I can't relate to this. Although, I do feel extremely bad for them that they had to go through this.

# data[].attributes.body
This video makes me feel bad for white and black people because they cant be around each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Three things that I learned was that that racism lynchings increased to 8 to 28 which is very scary fact. Also that Roosvlet let in and entertained black guest since I didnt know that before. And like there was polictal reasoning why roosvlet didnt support doucments and or papers that could help give blacks equal rights.

2 things I found interesting were that rossvlet seemed to have a love and hate relationship sort of thing with the blacks since he choosed to entertain them but isnt backing up something that could support them. Also how many people were slientced due to many factors.

1 question that I have is I wonder why rooslvet couldnt do "anything" apperently since he was the literal president of the US at that time-

# data[].attributes.body
3 things i learned:
- president franklin rooselvelt made black people have more hope since he was known to work with them
- african americans were affected the most by the great depression
-some whites called for african americans to be fired from their job.

2 things i found interesting:
- How the president made black people feel more welcomed
- people protested for discrimination

1 question I still have:
- is their protest still happening about equal rights for black people?

# data[].attributes.body
I learned
- The little labor laws that were around back then did not protect African Americans.
- There were protests back then to keep African Americans from getting hired into jobs that were considered "white jobs".
- For every dollar that was donated to "white schools" only half of that was sent to "black schools".
I found interesting
- I find it interesting how the one worker handles their bosses racism and simply leaves his/her outraged boss.
- I also find it interesting that African Americans are being given only the dangers and awful working conditions type of jobs in society when we are seeing them as non human.
I question
- Why were people so against African Americans getting a job that they wanted, what caused their fear of African Americans?

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the lynching of black people  had went from 8 to 28 in the matter of a year,  Former President Franklin Roosevelt had gave African Americans a sense of belonging in society, and that African American people would usually vote republican before Roosevelt.

What I found interesting was how the lynching numbers went from 8 to 28 so it went up by 20 more black people getting lynched due to the Great Depression and how because Philip Randolph threatened to organize a march Roosevelt had signed the Executive Order 8802.

A question I have is did white people blame black people for the Great Depression?

# data[].attributes.body
Three things I learned are :By 1932, approximately half of African Americans were out of work." and "Lynchings, which had declined to eight in 1932, surged to 28 in 1933." also "When the U.S. entered World War II, labor leader A. Philip Randolph threatened to organize a march on Washington to protest job discrimination in the military and other defense-related activities."

Two things I found interesting are "Although most African Americans traditionally voted Republican, the election of President Franklin Roosevelt began to change voting patterns. Roosevelt entertained African American visitors at the White House and was known to have a number of black advisors." and also "In response, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802, stating that all persons, regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin, would be allowed to participate fully in the defense of the United States."

One question I have is was the President Franklin Roosevelt at the time nice to them because it made him look good as a humantarian or was he just doing what he felt was right or some other reason ?

# data[].attributes.body
3 things I learned
- Lynchings have increased from 8 to 28
- President Roosevelt entertained the African Americans
- The problems of the Great Depression greatly impacted the African Americans
2 things I found interesting
- I found that African Americans were changing voting patterns
- Discrimination occurred in housing issues
1 question I have
- Did the Africans Blame the president for this?

# data[].attributes.body
3:
Many African Americans were fired during the great depression because there were whites out of work. Labor leader A. Philip Randolph threatened to organize a march on Washington to protest job discrimination in the military and other defense-related activities, which caused the executive order 8802, stating that all persons, regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin, would be allowed to participate fully in the defense of the United States.
2:
A large number of black workers were fired because there were some white workers without jobs. President Roosevelt invited African American visitors to the white house.
1:
Did protests happen? If so what were the results?

# data[].attributes.body
Three things I learned
-The Great Depression led to about half of African Americans losing their jobs in 1932.
-President Franklin Roosevelt had many interactions with African Americans as his advisers and when it came to entertaining African Americans who visited the White House. This helped his political campaign with getting more African American votes.
-President Roosevelt signed executive order 8802 allowing people of all race and color to join the military.

Two things I found interesting
-President Roosevelt's interaction with African Americans in the White House benefited his campaign.
-President Roosevelt signed an executive order allowing African Americans and people of other races and color to be able to join the armed forces.

One question I have
-Did president Roosevelt choose African American advisers on purpose?

# data[].attributes.body
three things I learned:
1. Many white workers actually went on strike because they wanted to prevent black workers from being hired in white jobs.
2. Black residents in Nashville created a black business district to escape the laws of Jim Crow
3. Before the civil rights movement, thousands of African Americans were killed and there lynchings every week jusr because they didn't want blacks holding political influence.
Two things I found interesting
1. How in the beginning, the worker leaves their boss because of the racism
2. How African Americans were the ones given the awful working conditions and dangerous situations, its scary.
One Question:
1. Why did whites not want African Americans to get jobs, Its mind boggling to me.

# data[].attributes.body
3:
By 1932, half of African Americans were out of work.
White Americans wanted African Americans to be fired from any job as long as there were whites out of work.
President Franklin Roosevelt appealed to Black Americans.
2:
President Roosevelt had Black American advisors.
President Roosevelt still did not back all legislation that favored the Black Americans.
1:
What was the reason President Roosevelt chose to appeal to Black Americans?

# data[].attributes.body
3 important facts:
1. White textbooks were passed down to black schools.
2. Black schools received half of the funding that white schools received.
3. Black businesses did thrive even in the face of segregation.

2 interesting facts:
1. Conductors had police power over black passengers.
2. Relationships between black men and white women could not exist and could lead to death.

Segregation impacted Black and White Americans relationships because since they went to different schools and got different materials and stuff it gave white people a sense of superiorty that they were better then the black people and they might have tried harder to be better then them so basically without they would see that black people were the same as them and after a while they started getting treated the same way.

One thing I learned from article one is Black teachers were paid less than their white colleagues.
Another thing I learned is white people would blame black men to have raped white women.
Also, I learned that  white workers would go on strike to prevent black workers from being employed in "white" jobs.

Two things I found interesting is that black people would get blamed for raping women for no reason. Also, white people wouldn't let the black people get jobs, and they were really unfair to them.

One question I have is Why would people treat other people like this just because of their skin color?

A question I have is did every white person treated black Americans with the same mistreatment and violence?
