Rautenberg Brandenburg an der Havel Denkmal für die Forty-Eighters in Berlin Revolutionäre Demokraten in den deutschen Feudalstaaten, anerkannte Bürger in den USA „Mit Wort und That für Volksfreiheit im alten und neuen Vaterlande“ (Stand: 19.01.2018) A. Das Projekt I. Der Anstoß Dirk Kurbjuweit, stellvertretender Chefredakteur des Nachrichtenmagazins „Der Spiegel“, hatte vorgeschlagen, vor dem im Wiederaufbau befindlichen Berliner Stadtschloss ein Denkmal für Forty-Eighters zu errichten („Der Spiegel“ Nr. 14/2.4.2016, S. 123). Damit ist er auf große Zustimmung gestoßen („Der Spiegel“ Nr. 17/23.4. 2016, S. 115 http://www.moin-moin.us/#!German-Secretary-of-State- Steinmeier-Supports-DER-SPIEGELs-48ers-Monument- Proposal/cjds/572f83ef0cf222003e9e0ffc ), worüber auch „The Guardian“ in der Ausgabe vom 30. April 2016 berichtete: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/30/germany-special-relationship-us- obama-carl-schurz-brexit Der damalige Bundesaußenminister Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier schrieb: „Im historischen Gedächtnis vieler Menschen haben die Amerikaner, unterstützt von den Briten und Franzosen, 1945 die Demokratie nach Deutschland gebracht. Dabei gab es aber schon vor 1933 eine parlamentarische Erfahrungsbasis, die von den Akteuren 1848 hart erkämpft wurde. Vor allem das Wirken deutscher Revolutionäre wie Carl Schurz, Friedrich Hecker, Gustav Struve und Franz Sigel in Amerika ist hier weitestgehend unbekannt. Deshalb ist das Denkmal für die sogenannten Forty- Eighters eine große Chance an die wechselseitige Einflussnahme beim Aufbau stabiler Demokratien auf beiden Seiten des Ozeans zu erinnern.“ Der damalige Chef des Bundespräsidialamtes, David Gill, schrieb mir: „Es liegt dem Bundespräsidenten sehr am Herzen, das Bewusstsein für die gemeinsame Freiheits- und Demokratietradition der USA und Deutschlands aufrechtzuerhalten.“ Weiter bekundeten Sympathie für das Projekt u.a.

Keel From Freischdrler in Baden to American Patriot: Wendelin Biihrle—a Common Soldier in Two Struggles for Freedom Writing some four decades after the unsuccessful attempt to establish a democratic, free and unified Germany in the turbulent period of 184849, M. J. Becker expressed the view in his book The Germans of1849 in America that: a few years more, and the last exile of *49 will have found refuge in that great asylum where extradition laws are unknown, and where, as I hope, he will not be compelled to serve a probationary term prior to his full admission to citizenship. But his children and his children's children will live on, assimilated, absorbed and Americanized; unmindful of their origin and indifferent to their descent.1 Perhaps Becker intended his words to be taken positively, meaning that the descendants of the refugees of the German Revolution of 1848-49 in America would in the course of a couple of generations be fully integrated into American democracy and society and no longer live under the despotic conditions their ancestors endured in Europe.

    Case: 1:13-cv-02214 Document #: 74 Filed: 03/31/15 Page 1 of 18 PageID #:<pageID> UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION TRAQUISE MANNING, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) No. 13 C 2214 v. ) ) Judge Sara L. Ellis CITY OF BLUE ISLAND and BLUE ISLAND ) POLICE OFFICER CARLOS ORTEGA, ) Star #160, ) ) Defendant. ) OPINION AND ORDER Traquise Manning, after being acquitted of attempted armed robbery, sued Defendant Officer Carlos Ortega for the alleged suppression of exculpatory evidence and for false arrest stemming from a show-up identification during the investigation of the armed robbery, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983. Additionally, Manning brought a claim for malicious prosecution against Ortega and Defendant City of Blue Island (“City”) and for indemnification under 745 Ill. Comp. Stat. 10/9-102 against the City. Defendants moved for summary judgment on all claims [65]. Because Ortega is entitled to qualified immunity, and Count II is barred by the statute of limitations, summary judgment is entered for Defendants on Manning’s due process (Count I) and false arrest (Count II) claims. Because Ortega is not liable on these counts, judgment is entered for the City on Manning’s claim for indemnification (Count III). Finally, because there are no facts to create a triable issue on Manning’s malicious prosecution claim, summary judgment is entered for Defendants on Count IV. The Court, therefore, grants Defendants’ motion in its entirety and this case is terminated. Case: 1:13-cv-02214 Document #: 74 Filed: 03/31/15 Page 2 of 18 PageID #:<pageID> BACKGROUND1 On May 12, 2010, Officer Ortega, a City police officer, responded to the scene of an attempted armed robbery at 2525 West Cochran Street in Blue Island, Illinois.
