Little Rock Nine: the day young students shattered racial segregation Minnijean Brown Trickey didn’t intend to make a political statement when she set off with two friends for her first day in high school. She was, after all, only 15. “I mean, part of growing up in a segregated society is that it’s a little sort of enclave and you know everybody,” says Trickey, who is African American. “So, I was thinking: ‘Wow! Central high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, seemed to have a lot going for it. It was September 1957, the Jim Crow era of racial segregation, and nine black pupils little guessed they were about to plant a milestone in the struggle for civil rights to follow those of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old lynched in Mississippi in 1955, and Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Alabama later the same year. Brown v Board of Education, the landmark 1954 supreme court ruling that segregated schools were unconstitutional, should have meant she and fellow pupils could take their places at Central High.

"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 ? Présentation de l'oeuvre Titre:The Problem We All Live With ( Le problème avec lequel nous vivons tous ) Auteur : Norman Rockwell Date de création : 14 janvier 1964 (date de parution de la photographie du tableau à la Une du magazine Look). Nature de l’oeuvre : peinture Technique utilisée : huile sur toile Dimensions : 91,4 x 147,3 cm Lieu de conservation : musée Norman Rockwell de Stockbridge (Massachusetts) Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) Après 1960, il fera également les Unes de la revue Look dans laquelle il publiera en 1964 The Problem We All Live With.
Martin Luther King Jr. Explains the Importance of Jazz: Hear the Speech He Gave at the First Berlin Jazz Festival (1964) Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of full inclusion for Black Americans still seems painfully unreal fifty years after his death. By most significant measures, the U.S. has regressed. De facto housing and school segregation are entrenched (and worsening since the 60s and 70s in many cities); voting rights erode one court ruling at a time; the racial wealth gap has widened significantly; and open displays of racist hate and violence grow more worrisome by the day. Yet the movement was not only about winning political victories, though these were surely the concrete basis for its vision of liberation. It was also very much a cultural struggle. Black artists felt forced by circumstances to choose whether they would keep entertaining all-white audiences and pretending all was well. Many of those musicians could not stay silent after the murder of Emmett Till, the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, and a string of other highly publicized and horrific attacks. via JSTOR Daily
George Floyd's death highlights US struggle with racial tensions It’s happened again. Another black man has died at the hands of a white police officer, and Americans are again in mourning. The official account from Minneapolis police was short and lacked detail. An allegation of forgery. The suspect — a man who appeared to be “under the influence”, “who physically resisted officers”, and who appeared to be “suffering medical distress”. Mass protest as Minneapolis rocked by fatal police arrest But the video that emerged hours later told a drastically different story. For nine excruciating minutes, the officer continued to hold his handcuffed victim firmly against the concrete as bystanders called on him to stop. Repeated pleas for air by the alleged suspect — “I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe” — also went ignored. The face of this latest act of police brutality is 46-year-old George Floyd. The video, captured by a passer-by, went viral on social media. It gives the public a chance to play judge and jury in cases that could get swept under the carpet.
Rockwell – The problem we all live with | tips in english ART DU VISUEL DU XXème siècle Introduction Ce tableau de 91 cm × 150 cm (36 in × 58 inches ) est une huile sur toile polychrome réalisée en 1964, par Norman Rockwell.Exposé dans le Musée Norman Rockwell à Stockbridge, Massachussetts ( Etats-Unis ), il a été prêté à la Maison Blanche d’Octobre 2010 à juillet 2011. Le tableau a été réalisé pour illustrer la double page centrale du magazine ‘Look’ du 14 janvier 1964. Cela faisait moins d’un an que Rockwell collaborait avec ce bimensuel à très fort tirage, fondé en 1937 aux Etats-Unis, et qui jusqu’à sa disparition en 1971, proposait à ses lecteurs un contenu où l’accent était mis sur l’image plus que sur les articles. Rockwell y intervenait en tant que commentateur de faits d’actualité, ce qui lui laissait une liberté de création qu’il n’avait pas connue au ‘Saturday Evening Post’ pour lequel il avait travaillé pendant 40 ans.

Politics and Jazz - CounterPunch.org When bebop was born, it was the voice of black America. Black Americans were calling for freedom, and jazz expressed it better than mere words. Charlie “Bird” Parker played Now’s the Time, insisting the moment was right for social change. Charles Mingus composed Fable of Faubus (1959) in response to Orval Faubus’s racism as governor of Arkansas. It didn’t take long for America’s white elite to realise that jazz endangered their hegemony, and that jazz and America represented opposing ideologies. After the second world war, jazz became hugely popular in western Europe, and jazz giants such as Bird, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Dexter Gordon were treated as major cultural figures. So jazz became the cultural ambassador of the American civil rights movement–a fact that was highly embarrassing for the establishment, already presenting itself as the leader of the “free” and “democratic” world. For the white bourgeoisie, jazz became a problem that had to be addressed.
Martin Luther King III reflects on father's legacy amid George Floyd protests Amid nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd, Martin Luther King III, son of the famed civil rights activist, is speaking out about what his father would make of today's racial tensions. Joining Sunday TODAY's Willie Geist, King explained that he believes his father living past 1968, when he was shot and killed at a sanitation workers' strike, would've drastically changed the criminal justice system. "My father, I believe, and none of us can speak for him, but certainly through his words, he always had compassion, and so compassion would certainly be in order," he began. "But ... I just believe that had my father lived, we wouldn't be even dealing with these issues. We would've resolved them by now." King continued: "We would have a criminal system that is just ...

"Yes, people's actions are not the approach that I would want us to take," he said.

La leçon de The Roots sur l’esclavage Aux Etats-Unis, le 19 juin est le jour de l’Emancipation. Un jour férié pour célébrer l’annonce de l’abolition de l'esclavage survenue au Texas en juin 1865, deux mois après la fin de la guerre de Sécession. C’est cet événement historique méconnu en Europe qu’ont choisi de célébrer les créateurs de l’excellente série Black-ish dans leur nouvelle saison, en invitant The Roots par le biais d’un clip animé en forme de cartoon pédagogique. Durant près de deux minutes, Black Thought et Questlove se retrouvent ainsi plongés dans le sud Confédéré, au milieu des plantations de coton et des marchés aux esclaves. Sous le joug des propriétaires sudistes texans, ils chantent leur blues dans ce « I’m a Slave » et expliquent à un jeune garçon les détails de cette période sombre en pastichant l’ancienne et très populaire série éducative américaine Schoolhouse Rock!
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.
