Segregation in the 1960s refers to the systemic practice of separating individuals based on their race, particularly in the United States. This period was marked by the ongoing struggle for civil rights, as African Americans and other minority groups sought to dismantle racial segregation and achieve equal rights under the law. Here are key aspects of segregation in the 1960s:1. **Jim Crow Laws:** Many Southern states enforced Jim Crow laws, which legalized racial segregation in public facilities, schools, transportation, and various aspects of daily life. These laws perpetuated a racially discriminatory system.2. **Public Facilities:** African Americans were often denied access to the same public facilities as white Americans. Segregated water fountains, restrooms, buses, and waiting rooms were common, reinforcing the notion of "separate but equal."3. **Education:** The landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. However, many schools in the South resisted desegregation, leading to a slow and contentious process.4. **Civil Rights Movement:** The 1960s saw a surge in the civil rights movement, with activists advocating for an end to segregation and racial discrimination. Iconic figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X played crucial roles in pushing for equal rights.5. **Sit-Ins and Protests:** The use of nonviolent protests, sit-ins, and marches became powerful tools in the fight against segregation. The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965 were pivotal events.6. **Civil Rights Legislation:** The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were landmark pieces of legislation that aimed to dismantle segregation and protect the voting rights of African Americans.7. **Resistance and Violence:** Desegregation efforts faced fierce resistance, and incidents of violence, including bombings of African American churches and homes, highlighted the deep-seated racism in certain communities.8. **Integration of Schools:** Through court orders and federal intervention, efforts were made to integrate schools. However, the process faced opposition, leading to incidents such as the forced integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957.The struggle against segregation in the 1960s laid the groundwork for significant social and legislative changes, ultimately contributing to the broader civil rights achievements and the ongoing pursuit of racial equality in the United States.Measures 18 x 24.

Pirelli calendars from the 1990's in original cardboard packaging, opened. To include:~ Five Pirelli 1990 calendars, landscape layout, In 1990 Arthur Elgort produced the first Pirelli Calendar all in black and white, devoted to the Olympics and to the German film director Leni Riefenstahl. Serial numbers: 29737, 10643, 48675, 10006, 07341. ~ Two Pirelli 1991 calendars, portrait layout, serial numbers: 25825,07540. Photographer Clive Arrowsmith. Heroic courageous women in history, tape mark on back cover.~ Three Pirelli 1992 Calendars featuring the theme of the Chinese Zodiac by Clive Arrowsmith, costume painting by Mathilde Sandberg, Serial number 21719, 853, 18362.~ A Pirelli 1993 calendar, Thirty years of Pirelli, photographs by John Claridge, serial number 26770. In 1993, coinciding with the end of another decade and after a change in the company’s top management, there was another important turning point. Pirelli upped its ante internationally, launching high profile advertising campaigns (including the famous image of sprinter Carl Lewis in red stilettos) and the Calendar became one of the key tools for conveying the Group’s new image. The artistic direction moved into the company’s Milan headquarters and it was decided that all references to tyres should be dropped. “The Cal”™ thus went back to being itself, an artistic publication with no limitations or restrictions placed on its creators except the canons of style and good taste. Pirelli, after all, is an international brand that is not identified with a single product family, but evokes a broad spectrum of values and meanings, first and foremost a commitment to innovation and the quest for excellence, elements that have always inspired the Calendar too.~ Two Pirelli calandars, 'In praise of women' n 1994 Herb Ritts launched the new era of “The Cal”™ with a phenomenal line-up of supermodels: Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Kate Moss and Karen Alexander. His calendar, entitled “A Homage to Women” set out to capture “the women of the ’90s and their place in the world: proud, sexy and beautiful on the inside”. Since then the creative talent of the photographers and the spellbinding allure of the models have been the cornerstones of the Pirelli Calendar’s success. Its connection with the world of fashion and glamour have become even stronger: for runway stars, appearing in “The Cal”™ is the equivalent of making it, and the competition between newcomers is fierce. Karen Alexander, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss feature. Serial numbers 48710 and 12069. ~ A Pirelli 1995 calendar with the theme of 'Seasons'. Photographer Richard Avedon. Serial number 31994.~ A Pirelli 1996 calendar, 'Timeless views' by Peter Lindbergh, in portrait layout, serial number 26923. Carré Otis, Eva Herzigová and Nastassja Kinski feature.~ A Pirelli 1997 calendar, 'Women of the world' serial number 19556, in a white sleeve with pull out ribbon, loose pages with platic binder and hanger enclosed. Landscape layout.~ A Pirelli 1998 Calendar, Photographer Bruce Webber dedicated to Robert Mitchum, the theme ' Women that men live for' and 'Men that women live for'. along with famous female Webber devoted a few shots to male film stars and singers, including Robert Mitchum, John Malkovich, Kris Kristofferson, B.B. King and Bono. Serial number 09548, portrait layout.~ 'A 1999 Pirelli, portrait layout calendar, 'Women through the decades', photographer Herb Ritts, includes Sophi Dahl as February in 1920's.(13)Credit for information - https://pirellicalendar.pirelli.com/en/about-the-cal/history

Contax II Ivory - das "Erstmodell" von 1947Carl Zeiss, Jena. Contax II Nr. 27908, mit Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 2/5 cm T Nr. 3104703. Von allen bisher bekannten Contax-Ivory-Kameras (Nr. 27917/3107140, 27927/3104794, 27949/3104753, 27960/3104785, 27965/3104755 und aus dem Kuc-Buch 279??/ 3104774) ist dies sowohl von der Kamera wie von der Optik die früheste Nummer. Voll funktionstüchtig, auch der Selbstauslöser, Filtergewinde mit Delle, nach 1947 auf der Frontseite synchronisiert. - Zur Authentizität: Der Lack (vermutlich für medizinische Geräte) ist an einigen Stellen nicht perfekt aufgetragen und zeigt eine leichte Reliefwirkung - ein typisches Merkmal eines noch nicht vollständigen Durchrührens einer frisch geöffneten Lackdose und/oder der Entfettung der unverchromten (!) Messing-Gehäusekappen. In der materialkritischen Nachkriegszeit unter den allzu strengen Augen der russischen Besatzungsoffiziere wurde aber eine Kamera nicht so schnell als II. Wahl deklassiert, und so kam dieser erste Lackmuster-Prototyp als erste aller Contax Ivorys in den Testbetrieb zur Erprobung. Start Price: EUR 3700 Zustand: (-/-)Contax II Ivory - "First Model" from 1947Carl Zeiss, Jena. Contax II no. 27908, with Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 2/5 cm T no. 3104703, full working condition, including the self-timer, filter thread with dent, synchronized on the front post 1947. - Note: From recorded Contax ivory-colored cameras (nos. 27917/3107140, 27927/3104794, 27949/3104753, 27960/3104785, 27965/3104755 and 279??/3104774 from the Kuc book), this example bears the earliest number in terms of both the camera and the lenses. The paint (probably intended for medical tools) displays scattered imperfections and a slight wrinkling, a typical feature of the freshly opened paint not being thoroughly stirred and/or the non-chrome-plated (!) brass housing caps not being degreased. With the material shortages of the post-war period, a camera was not so quickly reclassified as sub-quality, thus this first paint sample prototype may have been amongst the first of the Contax ivory-colored camera to have been put into test operation. Start Price: EUR 3700 Condition: (-/-)
