On a personal note, our family has a new addition. Tanner Davis Thornburgh was born Wednesday, Oct. 27. He’s doing very well, and between him and our older son, Grey, Annette and I are constantly on our toes. Now, on to election news. I am pleased to report that progress has been made in virtually every aspect of our current census projects—ranging from the Complete Count Committee (CCC) to the preparation for the 2000 Federal Census. As reported in the September issue of Canvassing Kansas, the CCC held its first two meetings in July and August. Since then, our office has continued to work with them. We have established a weekly e-mail network with the committee members to inform them on updates, as well as to pass along articles they can use in their own organizations. Another CCC meeting will be held during the first of the year to assess progress and discuss what remains to be done. Also, various communities in Kansas are forming complete count committees. The Federal Census Office has set up four Kansas district offices in Topeka, Hays, Wichita and Kansas City. Our office took part in the grand opening of the Topeka office, and I had the privilege to attend the Wichita opening. Our office is continually working on promoting the Census and encouraging people to actively participate in through speaking engagements and the distribution of promotional material. As mentioned in this issue, questionnaires regarding residence are already being distributed to college students and military personnel for purposes of the census adjustment. We will continue to keep you informed on the progress of these projects.

Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.
