  • Separate Interests to National Agendas Hispanic-American Members of Congress in the Civil Rights Era, 1945–1977
    Separate Interests to National Agendas hispanic-american members of congress in the civil rights era, 1945–1977 In June 1952 two long-running but often dissimilar paths of Hispanic-American congressional history converged, if only for a moment. At issue was the transformation of Puerto Rico from a colonial territory to a U.S. commonwealth. Under Puerto Rico’s proposed constitution, the island’s new government, the Estado Libre Asociado (Free Associated State or ELA), would be linked to the U.S. mainland by matters involving foreign affairs, but its authority to govern locally would be enhanced. Congress initially approved the concept, but quickly split over a constitutional human rights provision that had wide support among the Puerto Rican people. In the U.S. Senate, one faction sought to establish Congress’s ability to approve or reject amendments to the island’s constitution, essentially stripping Puerto Ricans of sovereignty.1 One such advocate bluntly argued that Congress essentially had the option to “give them a constitution or not give it to them.” Dennis Chavez of New Mexico, on the other hand—often that chamber’s lone proponent for boosting Hispanic civil rights—pushed back: “The Puerto Ricans did not ask us to take [their political rights]; we took them,” he said. In areas of the world where the U.S. was then working to contain the spread of communism, including in the Caribbean Basin, Chavez noted that America’s efforts would be aided by treating Puerto Ricans with more equanimity.2 Chavez’s intervention in the debate foreshadowed an important trend in this era—the increasing cooperation among advocates for Hispanic issues on a national scale.

  • CED-82-93 Reasons for High Food Prices in the U.S. Virgin Islands
    UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTINGOFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 May 28, 1982 coMMUNITv AN0 ccoNoMIC OEvELo?Mmvr 0lvuloN B-207434 4118516 The Honorable Ron de Lugo House of Representatives Dear Mr. de Lugo: Subject: Reasons for High Food Prices in the U.S. Virgin Islands (GAO/CED-82-93) Your October 13, 1981, letter requested that we determine: --Actual food price differences between the Virgin Islands and other specified locations, and whether any such differences have increased or decreased in recent years. --Reasons for substantially higher food prices in the Virgin Islands than elsewhere if, in fact, that is what is found. On December 16, 1981, we responded to the first part of your request in a report to you on high food prices in the Virgin Islands (CED-82-23). In that report we concluded that (1) Virgin Islands food prices were higher than in other specified locations, (2) the amount by which they were higher depended on the data and analytical approaches used to measure prices, and (3) food.price differences between the Virgin Islands and Washington, D.C., had generally been increasing in recent years. OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY On December 17, 1981, we briefed you on the results of our initial efforts and on our report. During that meeting, you asked us to proceed further in determining why Virgin Islands food prices are so high. Since then we have held discussions with and obtained documentary information from officials of a number of different sources, including the (1) Virgin Islands Government's Bureau of Labor Statistics, Departments of Commerce and Consumer Services, and Cooperative Extension Service, (2) Federal Maritime Commission, (3) Special Trade Group-Caribbean Section, Office of the President, (4) Virgin Islands Federal Programs Office, and (5) World Bank.

  • National African American History Month a Century of Black Life, History and Culture February 2021
    Celebrating Legends, Icons & Trailblazers National African American History Month A Century of Black Life, History and Culture February 2021 FREEDOM’S JOURNAL (1827-1829) POSTED ON JANUARY 4, 2011 BY CONTRIBUTED BY: ELLIOT PARTIN Freedom's Journal, Vol. 1 No. 1, March 16, 1827 Courtesy Library of Congress (sn83030455) Freedom’s Journal was the first African American owned and operated newspaper in the United States. A weekly four column publication printed every Friday, Freedom’s Journal was founded by free born African Americans John Russwurm and Samuel Cornish on March 16, 1827 in New York City, New York. The newspaper contained both foreign and domestic news, editorials, biographies, births and deaths in the local African American community, and advertisements. Editorials deriding slavery, racial discrimination, and other injustices against African Americans were aimed at providing a counterweight to many of the white newspapers of the time period which openly supported slavery and racial bias. Freedom’s Journal was not born solely out of the perceived need to defend African Americans as much as a desire within the black community to create a forum that would express their views and advocate for their causes. Russwurm and Cornish placed great value on the need for reading and writing as keys to empowerment for the black population and they hoped a black newspaper would encourage literacy and intellectual development among African Americans. Relatedly the newspaper sought to broaden its readers’ awareness of world events and developments while simultaneously strengthening ties among black communities across the Northern United States. Subscriptions were $3 per year and Freedom’s Journal at its peak circulated in eleven states, the District of Columbia, Haiti, Europe, and Canada.
