The bust which is on loan to the House of Lords from the National Portrait Gallery, was on display in the Robing Room in the House of Lords until 22 April, after which it was moved to become part of an exhibition on the life and work of Learie Constantine in the House of Lords. Lord Constantine became the first black person to be appointed to the House of Lords as a life peer, on 26 March 1969. This followed the passing of the Life Peerages Act in 1958 which opened the House to the whole of society, with members being appointed to contribute to the parliamentary democracy based on Above: Lord Fowler and Baroness Benjamin with their knowledge and experience, regardless the bust of Lord Constantine.

Oral History Interview, 1995. User Copy: 9 sound cassettes (ca. 489 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 4 sound cassettes (ca. 489 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Orville W. “Sonny” Martin Jr., an Oshkosh, Wisconsin native, describes his experiences growing up in a military family; serving in the 3 rd Platoon, A Company, 59 th Armored Infantry Battalion, 13 th Armored Division during World War II; training the 4th Field Artillery Battalion and the 35 th Quartermaster Pack Company during the Korean War; serving in Taiwan in 1959; and working at the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. Martin describes the service of his father, a Neenah (Wisconsin) native, during World War I and his parents’ wedding at Camp Stotsenburg (Clark Air Force Base) in the Philippines. Martin touches upon his military ancestry including a great-great-uncle, “General” Warren Healy, who was a drummer boy during the Civil War and became Paymaster General of New York during the Spanish-American War. Martin grew up an “Army brat” on various bases, including: West Point (New York), Fort Ethan Allen (Vermont), Fort Sill (Oklahoma), Schofield Barracks (Hawaii), Fort Hoyle (Maryland), Baton Rouge (Louisiana), and Fort Leavenworth (Kansas). He discusses at length his schooling and social interactions among children of officers and enlisted men. Martin details family life on the base which he calls a “very moral society.” Martin tells stories of corporal punishment and officers disciplining others’ children, a practice that faded in the 1960s.

  • Calypso Rose
    Calypso Rose Forget the thorns, because she has them, and without delay pick this (Calypso) Rose who, at 75 years old, looks fresher than ever. Far From Home has to be the 20th album at least of her crowded discography and the latest chapter of an eventful career started in 1964. But you’ll never hear her sound in the least bit tired; quite the opposite. Petulant, energetic, vehement, jovial, gregarious… there aren’t enough words to describe her performance on these 12 tracks on which she generously dispenses her joie de vivre with the voice of a young girl. Yet, life hasn’t been a bed of roses for McCartha Linda Lewis, born in 1940 in Bethel, a small village on the island of Tobago which, with Trinidad, is one of the many insular republics of the Caribbean, and the land of one of the most popular music in the world: calypso. Born at the end of the 19th Century from a mix of African and European musical ingredients, calypso really grew in the first half of the 20th Century into a refined art and a medium in its own right to address everyday problems as well as important social issues. It became universal in the 1950’s, notably through Harry Belafonte, and was exclusively delivered by males until a troublemaker entered the scene and blew-up the conventions. In 1972, Calypso Rose was the first artist to be awarded the title of Calypso Queen and, six years later, the gender-neutral title of Calypso Monarch. One of the songs from the new album titled ‘Calypso Queen’ evokes the pride she still feels today at having been the one to overthrow the established order of things.

  • The Late Registrations and Corrections to Greene County Birth Records
    Index for Late Registrations and Corrections to Birth Records held at the Greene County Records Center and Archives The late registrations and corrections to Greene County birth records currently held at the Greene County Records Center and Archives were recorded between 1940 and 1991, and include births as early as 1862 and as late as 1989. These records represent the effort of county government to correct the problem of births that had either not been recorded or were not recorded correctly. Often times the applicant needed proof of birth to obtain employment, join the military, or draw on social security benefits. An index of the currently available microfilmed records was prepared in 1989, and some years later, a supplemental index of additional records held by Greene County was prepared. In 2011, several boxes of Probate Court documents containing original applications and backup evidence in support of the late registrations and corrections to the birth records were sorted and processed for archival storage. This new index includes and integrates all the bound and unbound volumes of late registrations and corrections of birth records, and the boxes of additional documents held in the Greene County Archives. The index allows researchers to view a list arranged in alphabetical order by the applicant’s last name. It shows where the official record is (volume and page number) and if there is backup evidence on file (box and file number). A separate listing is arranged alphabetically by mother’s maiden name so that researchers can locate relatives of female relations. Following are listed some of the reasons why researchers should look at the Late Registrations and Corrections to Birth Records: 1.

  • Online Travel: the Internet Is the Key Sales Channel for Tour Operators
    ITB Berlin 2009 Special Press Release: Online Travel ITB Berlin Special Press Release 08 / 2009 ITB Berlin 2009 March 11 to 15 Online Travel: The Internet is the key sales channel for tour operators Author: Isabel Bommer 1 ITB Berlin 2009 Special Press Release: Online Travel Market and technology trends in digital travel sales Social networking, semantic searches, crowd sourcing, microblogging, and video content: the Internet is developing at lightning pace. Current trends, which today employ online pioneers and e-business developers, are also directly relevant for the tourist sector. In particular, in the main travel markets, the Internet is a targeted way of becoming the most important channel for holiday sales, information and recommendations. The current uncertain economic climate will not stop this trend, although it is likely to require strategic concentration on profitable e-travel applications. The ITB Berlin 2009 highlights the latest challenges and opportunities in online travel sales – with the ITB Future Day, over 130 Travel Technology exhibitors and PhoCusWright@ITB Berlin, the industry’s leading international Travel Technology Congress. In 2008, Europe’s travel sector posted sales of almost 246 billion euros – the largest travel market in the world. In 2007, the sector grew twice as fast as the remainder of Europe’s economy. Almost one third of capacity was ultimately due to Internet sales. The unique feature was that online travel business showed double-digit growth rates (2008: 19 %) and was considerably faster than offline business and the European travel market as a whole (2008: 3 %) (Source: PhoCusWright’s European Online Travel Overview Fourth Edition 2008).

Her refreshing serenity and indefatigable spirit often helped combat my nerves. I attribute my on-going interest in learning about new approaches to race, sexuality and gender solely to her. All the ideas in this research came to fruition in my supervision meetings during my master’s degree. Not only has she expanded my intellectual horizons in a multitude of ways, her brilliance and graciousness is simply unsurpassed. There are no words to express my thanks to Dr Robert Vanderbeck for his guidance. He not only steered along the project to completion but his meticulous editing made this more readable and deserves a very special recognition for his patience, understanding, intelligence and sensitive way of commenting on my work.

  • Celebrating Our Calypso Monarchs 1939- 1980
    Celebrating our Calypso Monarchs 1939-1980 T&T History through the eyes of Calypso Early History Trinidad and Tobago as most other Caribbean islands, was colonized by the Europeans. What makes Trinidad’s colonial past unique is that it was colonized by the Spanish and later by the English, with Tobago being occupied by the Dutch, Britain and France several times. Eventually there was a large influx of French immigrants into Trinidad creating a heavy French influence. As a result, the earliest calypso songs were not sung in English but in French-Creole, sometimes called patois. African slaves were brought to Trinidad to work on the sugar plantations and were forbidden to communicate with one another. As a result, they began to sing songs that originated from West African Griot tradition, kaiso (West African kaito), as well as from drumming and stick-fighting songs. The song lyrics were used to make fun of the upper class and the slave owners, and the rhythms of calypso centered on the African drum, which rival groups used to beat out rhythms. Calypso tunes were sung during competitions each year at Carnival, led by chantwells. These characters led masquerade bands in call and response singing. The chantwells eventually became known as calypsonians, and the first calypso record was produced in 1914 by Lovey’s String Band. Calypso music began to move away from the call and response method to more of a ballad style and the lyrics were used to make sometimes humorous, sometimes stinging, social and political commentaries. During the mid and late 1930’s several standout figures in calypso emerged such as Atilla the Hun, Roaring Lion, and Lord Invader and calypso music moved onto the international scene.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Take a Wine and Roll “IT”!: Breaking Through the Circumscriptive Politics of the Trini/Caribbean Dancing Body A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Critical Dance Studies by Adanna Kai Jones March 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Anthea Kraut, Chairperson Dr. Marta E. Savigliano Dr. Amalia Cabezas Copyright by Adanna Kai Jones 2016 The Dissertation of Adanna Kai Jones is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS You know how at fundraisers they say, “Every penny counts,” well the same applies to the process of dissertating. Every hug, every smile, every cheer, every piece of advice, every rough draft read, every second of listening, every book borrowed, every meal offered, every dollar granted, and every prayer sent on my behalf, all of these moments pushed me closer to the very real moment of completion. According to the south African philosophy of ubuntu, meaning “I am because we are,” I could only have made it here because of each and every one of you who hugged, smiled, cheered, mentored, read, listened, shared, cooked, and prayed for me. We all participated in a journey that has not only changed how I approach learning and teaching, but it has also changed how I view myself, as well as my purpose in this world. For each and every one of these necessary moments, I am eternally grateful. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, mind, and soul. And now it is time for the “shout-outs!” With regards to funding for my research in both Trinidad and Barbados, I am grateful for the support of the Dissertation Research Grant and the Dissertation Year Program Fellowship, both of which were received through the University of California, Riverside.
