  • By Leroy T. Hopkins, Jr., Phd President, African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania June 2020
    By Leroy T. Hopkins, Jr., PhD President, African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania June 2020 1838: Pennsylvania State Constitution amended. Article III on voting rights read, in part: “ ith this action men of African descent in Pennsylvania were deprived of a right that many had regularly exercised. The response was W immediate. Some members of the Constitution’s Legislative Committee refused to set their signatures to the document on this exclusion, including State Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Gettysburg. Protest meetings were convened to petition the state legislature to remedy this wrong. Men from Lancaster County were involved in a number of those conventions, notably Stephen Smith and William Whipper, the wealthy Black entrepreneurs and clandestine workers on the Underground Railroad from the Susquehanna Riverfront community of Columbia. This publication commemorates some of the people of Lancaster County who endured generations of disenfranchisement, and who planned and participated in public demonstrations during the Spring of 1870 to celebrate the ratification of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Amendment states: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Despite the amendment, by the late 1870s discriminatory practices were used to prevent Black people from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South. It wasn’t until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that legal barriers were outlawed if they denied African-Americans their right to vote. ©—African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania—June 2020 1 n important protest meeting was the convention held in Harrisburg in 1848.

In 1941 the federal government dammed the Columbia River at the north endof Grand Coulee, creating a man-made reservoir named Lake Roosevelt that inundated homes, farms, and businesses, and disrupted the lives ofmany. Although Congress never enacted specific authorization to createa park, it passed generic legislation that gave the Park Service authorityat the National Recreation Area (NRA). Lake Roosevelt's shoreline totalsmore than 500 miles of cliffs and gentle slopes. The Lake Roosevelt NationalRecreation Area (LARO) was officially created in 1946. This historical study documents

    , THE MISSISSIPPI· FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY Background InformaUon for SUppoMlve CampaIgns by Campus Groups repal"ed by STEV E MAX PolItical Education Project, Room 3091' 119 FIfth Ave., N .. Y.C. Associated with Students for a Democrattc Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE llJAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres­ sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians who traditionally have been denied this right. In addition to being a political instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily think in these -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi­ nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in the destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are potential allies of the MFDP. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Mississippi Democratic Party runs the state of MisSissippi .with an iron hand. It controls the legislative, executive and judicial be nches of the state government. Prior to the November, 1964 elec­ tion all 49 state 3enators and all but one of the 122 Representa­ tives were Democrats. Mississippi sent four Democrats and one Goldwater Republican to Congress last November.

We believe the time has come to stress the inter-relationship of Christian and American ideals. The great conflict of the twentieth century is the struggle that is taking place for possession of the minds of men. Therefore, it follows that the education of our youth is one of the significant weapons that can be used in this struggle. Russia has become strong because she considered her youth as the primal target for the focus of· her work of capturing her people and the peoples of the world.
