  • We Charge Genocide
    ·.. PART V Appendix INcLUDING: ( r) a case history of violence and illegal acts in the State of Georgia committed from 1940 through 1950 with the specific purpose of preventing Negroes from voting; (2) a study which, with some variation, is typical of other Southern states, revealing how the charge of "rape" was transformed into a state instrument for the oppression of the Negro people in the State of Louisiana; (3) a study of monopoly control of the South; and (4) a calendar of Congressional action showing its consistent refusal to act for the protection or welfare of the Negro people; (5) a selected bibliography. Document A DocUMENT A was prepared as an offer of proof in the trial of ihe United States of America v. William L. Patterson, executive secretary of the Civil Rights Congress. It will be recalled that Mr. Patterson was cited for contempt of Congress after Representative Henderson Lanham o.f Georgia, acting chair­ man of a Congressional committee investigating lobbying, had called him "a black son of a bitch" and had attempted to assault him. Although the purpose of the document was to show that Congressman Lanham had been illegally elected under the Fourteenth Amendment, it is also a social document of unusual worth, revealing how state officials combine with the Ku Klux Klan, and use the Klan as a quasi-official arm of govern­ ment, to prevent the Negro people from exercising their Constitutional right to vote. It is valuable, too, in that it reveals methods and techniques in widespread use in other states throughout the South.

  • A More Noble Cause: A.P. Tureaud and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Louisiana by Rachel L
    Book Review A More Noble Cause: A.P. Tureaud and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Louisiana by Rachel L. Emanuel and Alexander P. Tureaud, Jr. (Published 2011, Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge, La.) Reviewed by E. Phelps Gay 258 December 2011 / January 2012 f, as Martin Luther King observed, “human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability, but instead comes through the tireless efforts Iand persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God,” then the great New Orleans civil rights lawyer A.P. Tureaud belongs in the pantheon of heavenly co- workers. Many have heard the name A.P. Ture- aud. At Louisiana State University (LSU), a building is named in his honor. (In 1953, his son, A.P. Tureaud, Jr., co-author of this “personal biography,” was, as a result of his father’s efforts, the first African-American undergraduate admitted to the university.) In New Orleans, a bronze statue stands at the entrance to A.P. Tureaud Civil Rights Memorial Park. On Pauger Street, not far from where Tureaud lived, one finds A.P. Tureaud Elementary School. During the mayoral administration of one of Tureaud’s protégés, Ernest (Dutch) Morial, London Avenue was renamed A.P. Tureaud Av- enue to commemorate the legacy of this mild-mannered, courageous man. Visitors to New Orleans can view an impressive sculpture of Tureaud at the corner of A.P. Tureaud and St. Bernard Avenues. Scholars can pore over his papers at the Amistad Research Center on the campus of Tulane University. In 2005, Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Bernette J.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.

  • Descendants of James Hinton Died 1761 Johnston County, North Carolina
    Descendants of James Hinton Generation No. 1 1. JAMES1 HINTON died 1761 in Johnston County, North Carolina. Child of JAMES HINTON is: 2. i. AARON2 HINTON, b. Johnston County, North Carolina; d. 1779. Generation No. 2 2. AARON2 HINTON (JAMES1) was born in Johnston County, North Carolina, and died 1779. Children of AARON HINTON are: 3. i. JESSIE3 HINTON, b. Abt. 1761. ii. UNKNOWN HINTON, m. BRIDGES O'NEAL. Generation No. 3 3. JESSIE3 HINTON (AARON2, JAMES1) was born Abt. 1761. He married SARAH BRAUNER. Notes for JESSIE HINTON: Jesse Hinton the great-great-great grandfather of many of the Hinton descendants in Lincoln Parish today, settled in Green County, Mississippi in an area on the Leaf River, which later became Perry County. Jesse was born between 1761-1765 in Newburn District of Johnston County North Carolina and died ca. 1841 in Perry County, Mississippi. His wife's name was Sarah, and we believe her maiden name to be Brauner or Brawner. Jesse Hinton was the son of Aaron Hinton of Johnston County North Carolina who died in 1779. Aaron Hinton was the son of James Hinton who died in 1761. In the 1790 census of Johnston County North Carolina, Jesse had two sons, (1) Robert born ca. 1790, (2) William Riley born March 13, 1791. By 1800 Jesse had two more sons, (3) Blake born ca. 1793, (4) Budd born ca. 1798, and (5) a daughter who married Samuel Herrington. By 1810 Jesse had another son (6) Hugh born January 2, 1810 in Johnston County, North Carolina. On January 2, 1812, Jesse Hinton, on application received a 1 passport from the Governor of Georgia which read: "Ordered: That passports be prepared for the following persons to travel through the Indian Nations to the Western Territory, viz one for Messrs, Bridges O'Neal and Jesse Hinton, the former (Bridges O'Neal)(1) with his wife, five children and three Negroes, and the latter (Jesse Hinton) with his wife and six children, all from Johnston County, North Carolina, which were presented and signed." When Jesse Hinton settled in Mississippi, he had a land grant dated 1816.
