1591CAT0004511591. Good Condition. Hand colored engraving light foxing and soiling paper thinned in upper margin from prior mounting.<br/><br/>It reads translation from Discovering the New World Based on the Works of Theodore de Bry Harper & Row 1976: As can be seen from the preceding illustrations this area abounds with very agreeable little islands. The rivers are not deep; the pure clear water scarcely reaches the chest. When the Indians want to make an enjoyable excursion with their wives and children they go to these islands. They either swim across the river for they are excellent swimmers or they wade across carrying the little children. In fact the mothers can manage three children at once the smallest on a shoulder clutching its hand and the other two under her arms. With the free hand the women carry a basket full of fruit or other food for the occasion. For fear of meeting enemies the men carry bows and arrows. In order not to wet them they attach the quiver to their hair and hold the bows stretched and ready with and arrow prepared instantly to defend themselves as can be seen in our engraving.

17131African American Education De facto Segregated classroom in Portland OR. Original silver gelatin print press photograph. May 12 1963. Image of a classroom of 25 African-American students and 1 White teacher. Original press clipping of image caption pasted to verso: "Are Negro students such as these sixth graders at Eliot school being denied equal educational opportunity and development by attending schools composed of nearly all Negroes A citizens' committee Monday night will ask the Portland school board to name a committee to study effects on students at de facts segregated schools." In 1964 Eliot School student body was 96% African-American children. Housing policy discrimination explained some of the skewed school demographics. Redlining restricted African-Americans from living in certain areas of the city keeping them within North and Northeast Portland where their children ended up going to school. Additionally Portland like many other cities across the country experienced the "white flight" of families moving out of cities into the suburbs. Around 1964 one year after this photo helped spark the question on de facto segregation the district began allowing African-American families to voluntarily transfer to other schools in the neighborhood in an effort to integrate.
