    61 far from solution. The difficulties of acquiring land and financing for this costly project appeared overwhelming. Mean- while, fuel tankers continued to make their noisy take-offs over Honolulu. The airport hoped there would be a technical development that would eliminate the need for this flight path. Highlights July 1, 1962 The Hawaii Visitors Information Program was established to welcome passengers at Honolulu International Airport and Honolulu Harbor, to encourage travel to the Neighbor Islands, and to provide information and other help to airport and harbor visitors. As of June 30, 1963, the staff of the HVIP consisted of 33 full-time and nine part-time employees. July 10, 1962 The widening of Taxiway X and restoration of P Road with a crossing over a new drainage ditch was com- pleted at a cost of $113,463.82. July 22, 1962 The Empress of Lima, a four-engine Britannia jet turboprop, crashed at 11:19 p.m. and burned while making an approach to Runway 8 on the Hickam Field portion of the airport. Twenty-seven persons were killed and 13 survived. It was the worst civil air carrier accident in the Islands’ history. The Air Force Fire Department acted promptly to minimize loss of life. Personnel of the Airport, Navy and City and County assisted in fighting the fire, maintaining order, and pro- viding ambulances and other services. The crash dramatically showed the need for continued cooperation between the Air Force and the airport. Several meetings were held after the crash and a number of suggestions developed for further improvement of the pattern for teamwork.

Osborn, Ph.D ABSTRACT This thesis is a cAse study of how a vintAge fashion brand cAn be innovated through humAn centered design for the current fashion industry. IDEO, global design and innovation company, has clAssified humAn centered design as A method for identifying viAble, feAsible and desirable solutions with the integration of multidisciplinary insights (IDEO). For this thesis, the brand of focus is FUBU, for us by us, a 90’s era streetweAr brand that is a product of New York City hip-hop culture. A succinct proposAl for FUBU’s resurgence in the fashion industry will be designed by first identifying the viAbility of the fashion industry and feAsibility of the brand’s revival. ViAbility will be determined by detAiling the current stAte of the fashion and streetweAr industries. This is to estAblish the opportunities and threAts of new and returning entrants into the industry. FeAsibility will be declAred by reseArching the history and current stAte of the brand, its cultural relevancy, and its strengths and weAknesses.

    CULTURAL ICONS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE The Iconic Impact Initiative by Bridge Philanthropic Consulting, LLC 12 TOP PIONEERS OF BLACK PHILANTHROPY By Dwayne Ashley, Tashion Macon, Ph.D, Jennifer Jiles 12 Top Pioneers of Black Philanthropy 1 | Introduction INTRODUCTION Nine years ago, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors issued a report on philanthropy that reported what to many was a startling fact but reflected what those of us on the ground already knew. Each year, the report said, Black donors give away 25 percent more of their incomes than White donors. Nearly two-thirds of Black households make donations, worth a total of about $11 billion a year. “African Americans have been very uncomfortable with the title of philanthropist,” Judy Belk, senior vice president of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, told Reuters news service. “If you don’t see role models who look like you when people start talking about issues related to philanthropy, you start believing, ‘Hey, maybe I’m not a philanthropist.’” That’s why Bridge Philanthropic Consultants felt it was critical to release 12 Top Pioneers of Black Philanthropy as its way to commemorate Black History Month. Black philanthropy has always existed. But Blacks were brought to America as slaves, were obstructed from achieving the American dream after emancipation by systemic racism, and have seen their philanthropic achievements receive little to no attention outside their own community. We are here to shine the spotlight on them not just to give the recognition they deserve but to set them out as role models. For example, the name of Frederick D.

D.C. 2054s February 6, 1970 Dear Mr. President: It was an honor to be named by you to membership on the President’s Commission on an All-Volunteer Armed Force. I looked forward to serving on this Commission because it confronts an extremely important issue. Unfortunately, a combination of a minor illness in December and an operation at the beginning of January prevented my participating in the last five Commission meetings during which specific recommendations and various drafts of the report were discussed. Because I was able to play only a small part in its shaping I did not feel it was proper for me to sign the report, and advised the Chairman, Thomas Gates, accordingly in late December. I am writing now to express my regret at not being able to sign this report. Although I have been unable to share in its specific recom- mendations, I would like to endorse the basic idea of moving towards an all-volunteer armed force, and to express my hope that you will be able to take steps in the near future to reduce reliance on conscription.

RACE IN ORDINARY COURSE: UTILIZING THE RACIAL BACKGROUND IN ANTITRUST AND CORPORATE LAW COURSES ALFRED DENNIS MATHEWSON* This article is about the discourse in law school classes in which non-white students are in classes with white students.1 I recall the integration of race in one of my first year law classes. I was one of a handful of Black students in Professor Geoffrey Hazard's Civil Procedure class at Yale Law School. Professor Hazard had supplemented the casebook with materials that he had prepared for a case as an attorney. I do not recall the exact details, but I believe the case was Swann v. Burkett.2 This case involved an African-American couple that sued a landlord under the Unruh Civil Rights Act 3 for refusing to rent them an apartment because of their race. Professor Hazard had chosen the case because it was a personal triumph as he had successfully represented the plaintiffs. Although Professor Hazard used it to demonstrate procedural rules, he brought race out of the background.

    Minnesota History: Building a Legacy

    January 2016 This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp Minnesota History: Building A Legacy Report to the Governor and the Legislature on Funding for History Programs and Projects supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Letter from MNHS CEO and Director Now entering its eighth year, the Legacy Amendment and its Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund has reenergized the field of history in Minnesota. Demand for history and cultural heritage funding has consistently outweighed available resources since the fund’s inception by a proportion of almost 4 to 1. Part of that demand includes 2015’s record amount of requests, $14.2 million, for large historical and cultural heritage grants ($10,001 and up). We were able to award 33 large grants, totaling $3.2 million. Clearly, Minnesotans are eager to ensure that our legacy is preserved for future generations. The Legacy Amendment has also been the springboard for the Minnesota Historical Society and our history partners to proactively involve citizens in designing history programs, particularly grant programs, through statewide town hall meetings, workshops, and citizen reviews of grant applications. MNHS takes its stewardship of Legacy allocations seriously, applying measurable outcomes and professional standards, ensuring accountability in expenditures. This report describes more than 50 Legacy Amendment-funded history-related programs and partnerships accomplished since January 1, 2015, the first year of the fourth biennium since the Legacy Amendment’s passage. It also includes descriptions of the 198 grants amounting to over $4.5 awarded in 2015.
