    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

    1040 xv. Irwin Signey Weiner Biographical Summar-y (1341) Irwin Signey Weiner was born on March 6, 1916, in Chicago, Ill ., the son of Leon Weiner, a bookmaker who was shot to death in it murder-suicide incident in Chicago. 1Veiner has been described as 5 feet 51;2 inches, 160 pounds, stocky with blue eyes and brown hair. Iii 1970, he was residing in -Niles. Ill. He had never served in the mili- tary and had no felony record. (2204.) (1 :342) Weiner's connections to organized crime were a dominant, if not pervasive, eienient in his life, and they included both direct ;inks to the highest levels of organized crime nationally and in Chi- cago, and less definitive relationships with seemingly legitimate activi- ies. In a Washington Post article; he was characterized as follows . Irwin Weiner is thought to be the underworld's major financial figure in the Midwest." (2205) Almost all documentation concerning Weiner contains references to known organized crime members, and a comprehensive list of his associates would include a significant num- ber of the major organized crime figures in the United States. (2206) Trcat»z~e)it by the ll'a1 ,relt ConzIyiissioib (1343) The only reference to Irwin Weiner by the Warren Commis- sion occurs in the Commission's examination ofV Jack Ruby's telephone records; which indicated a call from Ruby to IV, einer (Chicago num- ber SH 3-6865) on October 26, 1960'. (2207) Ruby was never questioned about this call ; Weiner was never questioned at all . This omission is consistent with the Commission's overall failure to investigate possible organized crime connections.

  • The Mississippi of the West?
    THE MISSISSIPPI OF THE WEST? Michael S. Green* During the 1950s, African Americans in Las Vegas began referring to their city and state as the "Mississippi of the West." Magazine writers and civil rights advocates around the country picked up on the phrase. As the leading scholar of Las Vegas history, Eugene Moehring, wrote after cataloguing and condemning local racism: [T]his conclusion seems a bit overdrawn. While Las Vegas was certainly no bastion of equality, it was no worse a town for blacks than Phoenix, Salt Lake, and most medium-sized cities in California. Indeed, segregated housing, schools, and job dis- crimination were common throughout the mid-twentieth-century west. So too was the rippling effect of the national civil rights movement.' As NAACP attorney Franklin Williams said during a 1954 visit, Las Vegas was "a non-southern city with the pattern of the deep south ....Human rights in the western states are in a vacuum. "2' How this situation developed is both tragic and ironic. The tragedy of racism and segregation is obvious. The irony lies in the evolution of Nevada's political economy, the witting and unwitting role of the federal government, and the growth of Nevada's largest industries, gaming and tourism. Together, these factors managed to worsen de facto segregation while also sowing the seeds of its destruction.3 The inseparable issues of slavery and race affected Nevada's origins as a territory and a state. The Compromise of 1850 had created the Utah and New Mexico territories, which divided present-day Nevada: Utah included the Great Basin north while New Mexico included the bulk of what is now Clark County, Nevada, including Las Vegas.

  • Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams Why Should You Care?
    Jewish Tough Guys Gangsters and Boxers From the 1880s to the 1980s Jews Are Smart When we picture a Jew the image that comes to mind for many people is a scientist like Albert Einstein Jews Are Successful Some people might picture Jacob Schiff, one of the wealthiest and most influential men in American history Shtarkers and Farbrekhers We should also remember that there were also Jews like Max Baer, the heavyweight Champion of the World in 1934 who killed a man in the ring, and Jacob “Gurrah” Shapiro, who “helped” settle labor disputes. Why Have They Been Forgotten? “The Jewish gangster has been forgotten because no one wants to remember him , because my grandmother won’t talk about him, because he is something to be ashamed of.” - Richard Cohen, Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams Why Should You Care? • Because this is part of OUR history. • Because it speaks to the immigrant experience, an experience that links us to many peoples across many times. • Because it is relevant today to understand the relationship of crime and combat to poverty and ostracism. Anti-Semitism In America • Beginning with Peter Stuyvesant in 1654, Jews were seen as "deceitful", "very repugnant", and "hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ". • In 1862, Ulysses S. Grant issues General Order 11, expelling all Jews from Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky. (Rescinded.) • In 1915, Leo Frank is lynched in Marietta, Georgia. • 1921 and 1924 quota laws are passed aimed at restricting the number of Jews entering America. • Jews were not the only target of these laws.

  • Crime Network Will Find an Endless Source of Inspiration in Hill’S Account of Mafia Life
    Network News April 2010 Bedrock Game’s Bi-Monthly Newsletter Book Review Wise Guy by Nicholas Pillegi BY BRENDAN DAVIS Even if you haven’t read Wise Guy, there is a good chance you already know the story of Henry Hill. Martin Scorsese based his hit film “Goodfellas” on this 1985 tell-all book, and the movie remains one of the highest rated gangster films of all time. Anyone who enjoyed the movie will absolutely love the book and anyone who plays Crime Network will find an endless source of inspiration in Hill’s account of mafia life. Written by Nicholas Pileggi (who also wrote Goodfel- las), Wise Guy provides a street level view of life in the Lucchese crime family from the perspective of Henry Hill, a lowly associate. Hill Explains, in vivid detail, how crimes are committed, how people are murdered and how a crime family operates. He even explains how stolen goods are sold on the street. Reading the book is like being beside Hill as he greases hands and lights fires for Lucchese capo, Paul Vario. Henry’s narrative isn’t just a peephole into a rarely seen underworld of vice; criminal. The book’s author, Pileggi, describes Vario as it drags the reader into that world as deeply as Tolkein a someone who moved “in the lumbering manner of a drags the reader into Middle Earth. man who knew that people and events waited for him.... [h]e seemed invulnerable. deliberate. He exhorted the Pileggi does the right thing by keeping his ego in check sort of lethargy that sometimes accompanies absolute and allowing Henry Hill to tell the tale in mostly his power”.
