Louisiana State University, 2012 May 2018 Don’t Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is strange with its twists and turns As every one of us sometimes learns And many a failure comes about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow— You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell just how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit— It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. - John Greenleaf Whittier ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS “It always seems impossible until it's done.” – Nelson Mandela T.G.I.F.! Thank God I’m Finished! Thank you to everyone who has ever supported me during this journey. Words here cannot express my appreciation and gratitude. There are some people specifically I’d like to recognize. To my mother Olivia: Mama, you’re the Queen of my heart. I miss you so much. My life changed the day yours ended. Since then, you have been my constant source of motivation and inspiration. The greatest compliment anyone can give me is when they say how I remind them of you. YOU were the greatest woman who ever lived and to be compared to you is an honor. I love you. To my father Arthur: Daddy, you are the best father anyone could have. Even when you embarrass me to others with stories, I still smile inside because I know that means you care. Thank you for always being there and for supporting me. I love you. To my siblings: Sam, Dionne, Joey, Darryl, and Keith, thank y’all for always being there for me and for continuing to support me throughout the years. I love y’all. To my closest friends: Katrice, Gena, Tara, Deleon, and Heather, thank y’all for always being there for me to vent, to cry, to complain, to entertain, and just being the wonderful friends you are. To my committee: Dr. Chen, Dr. Clayton, and especially my Chair Dr. Blanchard, thank you so much for taking the time to assist me in process. I literally could not have done it without you. To my participants: “AJ”, “Alexandra”, “Andy”, “Caroline”, “Dawn”, “Heath”, “Melvin”, “Rose”, and “Raphael” – thank you for your candor, openness, and honesty. I learned so much from you all and sincerely thank you for my participation. To Lawrence Ross whose book Blackballed inspired the topic of my research and who told me on the day we met to “write truth to power”. I will carry your words everywhere. To Victoria Archangel, my undergraduate Academic Advisor who served as the catalyst for my desire to be a higher education student affairs professional. Thank you for all that you did for me. You were confident in me when I was not confident in myself, and because of you, I want to be to a student what you were to me. May you Rest in Power. To all cats and kitties: I just really wanna acknowledge cats here. They’re awesome and underappreciated.

  • Black and Blue: Police-Community Relations in Portland's Albina
    LEANNE C. SERBULO & KAREN J. GIBSON Black and Blue Police-Community Relations in Portland’s Albina District, 1964–1985 It appears that there is sufficient evidence to believe that the Portland Police Department indulges in stop and frisk practices in Albina. They seem to feel that they have the right to stop and frisk someone because his skin is black and he is in the black part of town. — Attorney commenting in City Club of Portland’s Report on Law Enforcement, 1981 DURING THE 1960s, institutionalized discrimination, unemployment, and police brutality fueled inter-racial tensions in cities across America, including Portland, Oregon. Riots became more frequent, often resulting in death and destruction. Pres. Lyndon Johnson’s National Advisory Com- mission on Civil Disorders issued in early 198 what became known as the “Kerner Report,” which declared that the nation was “moving toward two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal.”2 Later that year, the City Club of Portland published a document titled Report on Problems of Racial Justice in Portland, its own version of the national study. The report documented evidence of racial discrimination in numerous institutions, including the police bureau. The section “Police Policies, Attitudes, and Practices” began with the following statement: The Mayor and the Chief of Police have indicated that in their opinions the Kerner Report is not applicable to Portland. Satisfactory police-citizen relations are not likely to be achieved as a reality in Portland in the absence of a fundamental change in the philosophy of the officials who formulate policy for the police bureau.

  • SEVIRI HRV Fog RGB Quick Guide
    SEVIRI HRV Fog RGB Quick Guide Aim: Distinguishing of fog/low clouds from snow-covered land in high resolution. Area and time period of its main application: Mid-latitude region, daytime during winter. Application and guidelines: The identification of foggy and low cloud-covered areas is important for traffic and aviation security. Winter fog/stratus frequently forms over snowy cloud-free surfaces in high pressure conditions. Fog/water clouds have good colour contrast against snow and snow-free land. This is a daytime RGB as it uses shortwave channels. SEVIRI HRV Fog RGB for 7 March 2014, 08:40 UTC Background The table shows which channels are used in the HRV Fog RGB and lists some of the land and cloud features which typically make a low or high contribution to the colour beams in this RGB. Snow's reflectivity is much higher in the HRV than in the NIR1.6. As water clouds reflect much of the radiation in both channels they can be used in combination to distinguish snow and water clouds. Smaller contribution to Larger contribution to Colour Channel [µm] Physically relates to the signal of the signal of Cloud phase Ice cloud Red NIR1.6 Water clouds Snow reflectivity Snow covered land Cloud optical thickness Thick clouds Green HRV Thin clouds Snow reflectivity Snow covered land Cloud optical thickness Thick clouds Blue HRV Thin clouds Snow refllectivity Snow covered land Notation: HRV: High Resolution Visible channel, NIR: near-infrared, number: central wavelength of the channel in micrometer. HRV is used in two colour beams so the high resolution is not lost.

  • Black Seminoles Vs. Red Seminoles
    Black Seminoles vs. Red Seminoles Indian tribes across the country are reaping windfall profits these days, usually from gambling operations. But some, like the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, are getting rich from belated government payouts for lands taken hundreds of years ago. What makes the Seminoles unique is that this tribe, unlike any other, has existed for nearly three centuries as a mixture of Indians and blacks, runaway slaves who joined the Indians as warriors in Florida. Together, they fought government troops in some of the bloodiest wars in U.S. history. In the late 1830s, they lost their land, and were forced to a new Indian home in present-day Oklahoma. Over the years, some tribe members have intermarried, blurring the color lines even further. Now the government is paying the tribe $56 million for those lost Florida lands, and the money is threatening to divide a nation. Seminole Chief Jerry Haney says the black members of the tribe are no longer welcome. After 300 years together, the chief says the tribe wants them to either prove they're Indian, or get out. Harsh words from the Seminole chief for the 2,000 black members of this mixed Indian tribe. In response, the black members say they're just as much a Seminole as Haney is. www.jupiter.fl.us/history On any given Sunday, go with Loretta Guess to the Indian Baptist church in Seminole County, Okla., and you'll find red and black Seminoles praying together, singing hymns in Seminole, sharing meals, and catching up on tribal news.

  • Degree Attainment for Black Adults: National and State Trends Authors: Andrew Howard Nichols and J
    EDTRUST.ORG Degree Attainment for Black Adults: National and State Trends Authors: Andrew Howard Nichols and J. Oliver Schak Andrew Howard Nichols, Ph.D., is the senior director of higher education research and data analytics and J. Oliver Schak is the senior policy and research associate for higher education at The Education Trust Understanding the economic and social benefits of more college-educated residents, over 40 states during the past decade have set goals to increase their state’s share of adults with college credentials and degrees. In many of these states, achieving these “degree attainment” goals will be directly related to their state’s ability to increase the shares of Black and Latino adults in those states that have college credentials and degrees, particularly as population growth among communities of color continues to outpace the White population and older White workers retire and leave the workforce.1 From 2000 to 2016, for example, the number of Latino adults increased 72 percent and the number of Black adults increased 25 percent, while the number of White adults remained essentially flat. Nationally, there are significant differences in degree attainment among Black, Latino, and White adults, but degree attainment for these groups and the attainment gaps between them vary across states. In this brief, we explore the national trends and state-by-state differences in degree attainment for Black adults, ages 25 to 64 in 41 states.2 We examine degree attainment for Latino adults in a companion brief. National Degree Attainment Trends FIGURE 1 DEGREE ATTAINMENT FOR BLACK AND WHITE ADULTS, 2016 Compared with 47.1 percent of White adults, just 100% 30.8 percent of Black adults have earned some form 7.8% 13.4% 14.0% 30.8% of college degree (i.e., an associate degree or more).

Derived, complex words and analytical structures transmit shades of colors. Four colors have the highest use frequency in Ossetian language: black, white, red and blue. Black and white colors have the greatest semantic and stylistic meaning in the speech of Ossetian linguistic culture. These colors are precisely the part of mental language formations. An important role in color features of objective world is played by yellow and gold that is close to it. Blue, green and gray are named by one color. Color words have connotative meanings, express the peculiarities in people mentality and participate in symbol formation and stereotypes. Individual author’s development of color vocabulary enriches visual and expressive possibilities in Ossetian language. This study gives an idea of color picture of the world in the minds of the Ossetians.

Black women face a 90% wealth gap. The economic and business case for diversity will only grow as US demographics and the labor force are set to become increasingly racially and ethnically diverse over the coming decades. Yet, due to complex historical factors and ongoing discrimination, Black Americans and especially Black women remain heavily disadvantaged across a broad range of economic measures, including wealth, earnings, and health. The median Black household owns nearly 90% less wealth than the median white household and the gap is even slightly larger for single Black women relative to single white men. The structural factors that have created and reinforced these economic disparities that Black women face are multifaceted and interrelated, and inevitably we neglect many important issues.
