Civil Rights Protest with Southern University Students, showing support for the Greensboro, NC students protest

It was one of the most important events in the Civil Rights Movement and it set the stage for student involvement the movement nationwide.
Later that month, student activists at Southern University, wanting to show support for the Greensboro students and to protest segregation, began planning their own lunch counter sit-in at the Kress store in downtown Baton Rouge.

June 24, 1922

More than 3,000 African-American protesters marched on the streets of Washington carrying signs urging control and halting of the lynching of blacks. Federal intervention was sought so that the series of hangings and killings of blacks by whites might be curbed. The paraders also sought for proper protection to be provided for all African-American prisoners. The protester in front carries a picture of a man hanging, over the words, "Is this civilization?" The one behind carries a placard reading, "Congress discusses constitutionality while the smoke of human bodies darkens the heavens."

And of course the afghan girl, picture shot by National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry. Sharbat Gula was one of the students in an informal school within the refugee camp; McCurry, rarely given the opportunity to photograph Afghan women, seized the opportunity and captured her image. She was approximately 12 years old at the time. She made it on the cover of National Geographic next year, and her identity was discovered in 1992.

this a scary ass pic..

The "Wigwam" - Hampton Institute (1878)

In 1878 a group of about 17 young Indians who had been released as prisoners of war from Fort Marion, Fla., began to attend Hampton Institute, the only school that had responded to Pratt's appeal for their further education under Government auspices. That same year Pratt recruited 49 additional Indians in the West, including 9 girls. Pertinent to Indian education is the Wigwam, erected in 1878 to house the students from Fort Marion. Indians attended the school until 1923, though the Government discontinued appropriations in 1912.

Of the first five faculty members of Howard University College of Medicine, Lt. Colonel Alexander T. Augusta, M.D. was the only African American. He served on the faculty from 1869-1877 and is believed to be the first African American to serve on the faculty of a medical school in the United States.

Augusta was the first commissioned African American surgeon in the military serving the Seventh U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War and became the first African American to head a hospital in the United States when he directed Freedmen's Hospital from 1863-1864.
