The last image on our quilt square is the colored person in the car. its there to symbolize the advancement and moving forward of colored people and the NAACP

Our quilt piece has four major african americans over the time after the civil war in our government. The background is the flag because it represents that this takes place in the U.S. on the top left corner is Hiram revels. The square underneath each person is what they did, their names, and the years the began or served. On the top right there is Edward Brooke. On the bottom right there is Carol Moseley Braun. And on the bottom left corner their is Barack Obama. In the middle their is the white house representing that they each worked in the white house. The thought bubbles around it represent that at one point they invited and at one point none could come and finally they were welcome again. also the arrows represent the time difference of when they each served in the office.

My artist statement

By Helena Fox-Sellers

My QS3 topic is about Segregation and Robert B. Elliott. On the side you can see The Civil Rights Act Amendment this represents the right, given to them at this time. On the other side Robert B. Elliott stands at his podium. This represents that he was in the House of Representatives. He was North Carolinas Representative for the house. The person on the left represents the South and that they disapproved of the house letting him in because he had darker skin. The person on the right represents the Black people and the North and how they were grateful that they let him in so they would probably get there full right.

Thank you, for reading my Artists statement

this is a picture of a house in the 1800s.  im sure when soldiers came home to there families there houses looked like this or worse.

isabel mctighe, lara tucker, black codes, karens office

this man is holding a sign of protest. it says that if the  U.S. government trusts black ex-slaves to fight for them they should repay them by giving them equal rights.




this photo showes a bus from after the civil war. there are signs indicating that while whites get to sit up front in normal seats black citizens must ride in the back on crowded benches.

  even after the civil war prejudice agents African Americans. many things were segregated, things from seats on a bus to school rooms. above is an example of such separations.


many businesses would only serve white people as a form of raciest prejudice.  facilities such as this one would turn away all  costumers  of different ethnicity es.

Material Devastation and Sherman's March (by Ian and Harry, Deb's class)

This is picture of Atlanta burning. Sherman and his troops marched through Georgia, starting at Atlanta. Atlanta was the railroad center for the Confederancy, so when Sherman burned/destroyed it, it was a serious blow.

This is another picture of Atlanta burning.

Horses carried supplies and soldiers, so they were often the target. After the civil war about 50% of Arkansas's horses had died.

This is a map of Sherman's March to the sea. He started in Atlanta and then marched to Savvanah, destroying everything in his path. After destroying Atlanta he moved on to Raleigh, North Carolina where he waited for Grant's final assult on Richmond. Between Savannah and Raleigh he and his troops traveled 425 miles in less then 50 days.

Another picture of the attack on Atlanta.

This is General Sherman, who has you might guess lead Sherman's march.

Jim Crow Laws, Sammi Redder, Deborah

http://northbysouth.kenyon.edu/1998/edu/jimcrow.htm

In the Plessy vs. Ferguson Case, the supreme court ruled that the if facilities were separate but equal, it didn't violate the 14th amendment. This rule was often broken as you can see in the picture below.

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow/

Jim Crow wasn't an actual person, but "he" affected the lives of millions of people. The laws were named after a popular 19th century minstrel song that stereo typed African Americans. A white minstrel performer named Thomas Dartmouth "Daddy" Rice blackened his face and danced a silly jig while singing the song "Jump Jim Crow"

 

Lyrics to Jump Jim Crow and the audio clip from the fiddle music he used.
http://memory.loc.gov/afc/afcreed/130/13035a39.mp3

Come listen all you galls and boys,
I'm going to sing a little song,
My name is Jim Crow.
Chorus:  Weel about and turn about and do jis so
Eb'ry time I weel about I jump Jim Crow.

I went down to de river, I didn't mean to stay,
But there I see so many gals, I couldn't get away.

I'm rorer on de fiddle, an' down in ole Virginny,
Dey say I play de skientific, like massa Paganini.

I cut so many munky shines, I dance de galloppade;
An' w'en I done, I res' my head, on shubble, hoe or spade.

I met Miss Dina Scrub one day, I gib her sich a buss;
An' den she turn an' slap my face, an' make a mighty fuss.

De udder gals dey 'gin to fight, I tel'd dem wait a bit;
I'd hab dem all, jis one by one, as I tourt fit.

I wip de lion ob de west, I eat de alligator;
I put more water in my mouf, den boil ten load ob 'tator.

De way dey bake de hoe cake, Virginny nebber tire;
Dey put de doe upon de foot, an' stick 'em in de fire

Jim Crow Laws discriminated against African Americans with attendance in public schools, restaurants, hotels, railway cars and other public facilities. When Rosa Parks wouldn't give up her seat to a white man she was arrested for breaking a Jim Crow Law. In the drawing below an African American man is being kicked out of his seat by a white man. Rosa Parks in a similar scenario refused to move and got arrested for it.

This is an image from a cafe in Durham, North Carolina in 1940. It has separate doors and lunch rooms that split apart whites and blacks. Many businesses in the south had separate facilities to serve each race.

15th Amendment- Deborah-Oliver A.

 http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h415.html

The 15th Amendment added to the constitution was the last reconstruction amendments. It was to stop discriminating because of race. The main reasons the 15th Amendment was placed was for the slaves, but also for the republicans. They wanted it so they could have more respect over the whole country, all the slaves that were men.

Harlem Renaissance, Julia, Madeline, Abby- Deborah

This website gives a brief summary of what harlem renaissance was, it also gives a timeline, biographies, and other links
http://029c28c.netsolhost.com/blkren

This is the symbol of the National Association for the Advancment of Colored people(NAACP). They had a lot to do with Harlem Renaissance. The NAACP published a newspaper for colored people. It was called the Crisis (as seen below). The NAACP put a lot of their art work , poetry and photography into the Crisis. It was one of the only ways for colored people to have their work published.

 

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow/stories_events_harlem.html

This website has good info relating to the NAACP.

Langston Hughes was a member of the Harlem Renaissance, here is one of the poems he wrote

 The Negro Speaks of the Rivers

I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
     flow of human blood in human veins.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln 
     went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy 
     bosom turn all golden in the sunset.

I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

Madeline's artist statement

I did my quilt square with Julia and Abby. Our topic was Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was a time in reconstruction where African American artists, musicians, writers, singers, actors, dancers and others, met up together in Harlem, NY. This was a way that African American's could express themselves through their passion without being judged by whites. 

In our quilt square, we divided it into four sections. They each have a symbol to represent the topic. One is a paint brush to represent the artists, one is a pencil to represent the writers and poets, one is the symbol of thearter (happy face, sad face) To represent the actors, the last one is a note to represent the musicians and dancers. In each one there is a few faces of people who were involved in that topic. On the top half there is the Apollo thearter and Cotton Club to represent where they performed. On the Bottom,There is The CRISIS to represent where their things were published. In the middle there is a scale with a question mark representing the question of, are blacks and whites equal today? 

 

These are some examples of art in Harlem Renaissance

15th Amendment- Deborah-Oliver A.

 This is the 15th Amendment. It was enacted in 1870 and It lets African American or blacks vote. It is still in effect today.
