  • UNITED STATES of AMERICA the Execution of Mentally Ill Offenders
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The execution of mentally ill offenders I cannot believe that capital punishment is a solution – to abolish murder by murdering, an endless chain of murdering. When I heard that my daughter’s murderer was not to be executed, my first reaction was immense relief from an additional torment: the usual catastrophe, breeding more catastrophe, was to be stopped – it might be possible to turn the bad into good. I felt with this man, the victim of a terrible sickness, of a demon over which he had no control, might even help to establish the reasons that caused his insanity and to find a cure for it... Mother of 19-year-old murder victim, California, November 1960(1) Today, at 6pm, the State of Florida is scheduled to kill my brother, Thomas Provenzano, despite clear evidence that he is mentally ill.... I have to wonder: Where is the justice in killing a sick human being? Sister of death row inmate, June 2000(2) I’ve got one thing to say, get your Warden off this gurney and shut up. I am from the island of Barbados. I am the Warden of this unit. People are seeing you do this. Final statement of Monty Delk, mentally ill man executed in Texas on 28 February 2002 Overview: A gap in the ‘evolving standards of decency’ The underlying rationale for prohibiting executions of the mentally retarded is just as compelling for prohibiting executions of the seriously mentally ill, namely evolving standards of decency. Indiana Supreme Court Justice, September 2002(3) On 30 May 2002, a jury in Maryland sentenced Francis Zito to death.

  • Women's Suffrage and Citizenship Marker
    Women’s Suffrage and Citizenship Marker Blurbs 1. Sen. Arcada Stark Balz: JOHNSON, MARION, MONROE COs.—Bloomington native Arcada Stark Balz grew up in Indianapolis, where she attended Normal College. In the 1930s, she served as president of the Indiana Federation of Women’s Clubs and director of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. In her club work, she delivered speeches encouraging women to get involved in policy making and advised on the Indiana club’s legislative department. Balz became the first woman to serve in the Indiana Senate when voters elected her to office in 1942; she was reelected in 1944. As a representative of Marion and Johnson Counties, the Republican Senator authored legislation to eliminate neglect and abuse in nursing homes. Sen. Balz also served as chairman of the Postwar Planning Committee in World War II. 2. Carrie Barnes: MARION CO.—African American public school teacher Carrie Barnes served as president of Branch No. 7 of the Equal Suffrage Association of Indiana (ESA) in 1912. Of the branch’s work, Barnes proclaimed “We all feel that colored women have need for the ballot that white women have, and a great many needs that they have not.” While branch president and later as president of the Women’s Council, she spearheaded local black suffrage work, collaborating with white branches and trade unions to obtain the right to vote. 3. Virginia Brooks: LAKE CO., IN, COOK CO., IL—Dubbed the “Joan of Arc” of West Hammond, social reformer Virginia Brooks organized for suffrage in the Calumet Region. Determined to end the mistreatment of immigrants and expel corrupt politicians from West Hammond (now Calumet City)—an Illinois town that overlapped into Indiana—she delivered speeches in barrooms, confronted law enforcement officials, and founded her own publication.

  • Long-Form Teacher's Guide for Ida B. Wells: Let the Truth Be Told By
    Long-Form Teacher’s Guide for Ida B. Wells: Let the Truth Be Told by Walter Dean Myers and illustrated by Bonnie Christensen Book Synopsis Ida B. Wells worked bravely as an activist, educator, writer, journalist, suffragist, and pioneering voice against the horrors of lynching. An inspiration for generations of civil rights crusaders, Wells' own words are used throughout this picture book biography (which is based on Ida B. Wells’ autobiography, The Crusade for Justice) to introduce young readers to this leader. Ida used fierce determination and the power of the pen to educate the world about the unequal treatment of African Americans in the United States. In this award-winning book, New York Times bestselling author Walter Dean Myers tells the story of this legendary figure, which blends harmoniously with the historically detailed watercolor paintings of illustrator Bonnie Christensen. Historical Background Ida B. Wells’ life started in hardship, born into slavery July 16, 1862, in Holly Springs, Mississippi and orphaned by the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878. After the Civil War ended and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, life for thousands of former slaves was fundamentally changed, yet prejudice and violence still plagued their communities. Lynchings, unfair trials, segregation, and voter suppression only represent a fraction of the injustices faced by African American men and women in the United States during and after her lifetime. Sometime after Ida moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with her siblings she became a journalist, later co-owning and writing for the Memphis Free Speech and Headlight. Ida’s activism against lynching started after the lynching of her close friend Thomas Moss and his associates Will Stewart and Calvin McDowell, due to the success of their grocery store, The People’s Grocery Store.
