  • SEGREGATION in SPOKANE Longtime Black Residents Recount the Injustices and the Victories by Jim Kershner
    WashingtonHistory.org SEGREGATION IN SPOKANE Longtime Black Residents Recount the Injustices and the Victories By Jim Kershner COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Winter 2000-01: Vol. 14, No. 4 The word "segregation" conjures up vivid images from old civics class lessons: whites-only drinking fountains in Alabama; white mobs jeering at black school children in Mississippi; Ku Klux Klan rallies in Georgia. Up here in the more tolerant Northwest, it's easy to be smug about the bigoted South. Easy, that is, after conveniently blanking out a few of this region's own historical images: the "No Colored Patronage Solicited" signs in Spokane restaurants; the whites- only swimming pool at Natatorium Park; the "Nigger, Read This Sign and Run" sign at the edge of Wallace, Idaho. In fact, the northern states had their own brand of racial segregation, not always legally codified but often just as blatant. In Spokane, as African-American residents were constantly aware, a particularly northern brand of segregation thrived through the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s and even into the 1960s. It made for a relatively peaceful era of race relations, but at a price. It depended on white people and black people "staying in their place," as more than one black resident has put it. "Staying in their place" meant that black people were restricted to a relatively few restaurants, shops, hotels and jobs in Spokane, sometimes by policy, more often by social pressure. How intense was that social pressure? Listen to Jerrelene Williamson, now 68, tell about her experience breaking into the previously all-white occupation of grocery checker at a Spokane Safeway around 1965: "This man came in, I guess he was middle-aged, and he said, 'I wish I had a baby that looked like you.' I was trying to do my work, and so far everybody had been kind of decent, so I wasn't thinking he meant anything.

    presents the NORTH 24TH STREET WALKING TOUR STREET WALKING 24TH NORTH North 24th Street is pretty quiet these days. There is a little noise from the barbershops and retail outlets that dot the streetscape. A couple of restau- rants are making a go of it just off the thoroughfare on Lake Street. And there’s a burgeoning arts scene. But the music that once enlivened the area is mostly silent. For blacks who began to reside in North Omaha during the early 20th century, 24th Street became known as the “Street of Dreams.” The area around 24th and Lake Streets emerged as a lively district of music clubs, theaters, restau- rants and retail shops.

Photo courtesy Great Plains Black History Museum. The street also was important to Jewish settlers, who began to populate the area in the 1890s. They called the stretch of North 24th Street from Cuming to Lake Streets the “Miracle Mile.” Jewish historian Arthur Grossman described the street as “the arterial lifeline connecting homes, shops, and sundry suppliers of products and services necessary for the maintenance of Jewish life.” Blacks, Jews and other ethnicities coexisted peacefully for decades. In 1914, there were 17 grocery stores, five tailors, seven shoe repair shops and five second-hand stores on that stretch of North 24th Street alone, along with confectioners, barbers and butchers. Within four years, 15 of the businesses in the area were owned by blacks, including five restaurants.
