  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.

  • The Discovery of a Relic from the US Brig Niagara
    The War of 1812 Magazine Issue 23, February 2015 The Discovery of a Relic From The US Brig Niagara By Brian Rollason The US Brig Niagara was launched in July 1813 for the purpose of protecting the vulnerable American coastline on Lake Erie from the British fleet. She was 110 feet long, weighing 492 tons, armed with eighteen 32 pounder carronades and two 12 pounder long range cannons. Her crew of 155 were professionals ready for a fight. She was involved in several actions during her career. On 10 September 1813, she participated in The Battle of Lake Erie. During the battle the flag ship USS Lawrence commanded by Oliver Hazard Perry was knocked out of commission. Perry, determined to win the fight, lowered the battle flag that represented the last words of his good friend Captain James Lawrence “Don’t Give Up The Ship”, who was killed during the action against HMS Shannon in June of 1813. He subsequently took command of the Niagara winning the battle on that day, capturing six British ships of the Royal Navy and ensuring that America maintained control of the lake for the rest of the war. In 1814 the Niagara turned her attention towards the ship HMS Nancy, a transport vessel of the Royal Navy. The Nancy was running supplies from the Nottawasaga River to Fort Mackinac. The supplies were desperately needed by the British. The Nancy was the last British ship in the region to help defend Canada. In August 1814, the US Brig Niagara escorted by the Tigress and Scorpion located the Nancy which was hiding near the mouth of the Nottawasaga.

He used his inherited wealth and rank to benefit and protect his fellow believers. Despite the unpopularity of his religion, he was socially acceptable in the king's court because he was trusted by the Duke of York, later King James II.

  • The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - Updated April 9, 2006
    The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - updated April 9, 2006 compiled by Linda Bangert Please send any additions or corrections to Linda Bangert ([email protected]) and notice of any broken links to Neil Ottenstein ([email protected]). This listing of tour dates, set lists, opening acts, additional musicians was derived from many sources, as noted on each file. Of particular help were "Higher and Higher" magazine and their website at www.moodies- magazine.com and the Moody Blues Official Fan Club (OFC) Newsletters. For a complete listing of people who contributed, click here. Particular thanks go to Neil Ottenstein, who hosts these pages, and to Bob Hardy, who helped me get these pages converted to html. One-off live performances, either of the band as a whole or of individual members, are not included in this listing, but generally can be found in the Moody Blues FAQ in Section 8.7 - What guest appearances have the band members made on albums, television, concerts, music videos or print media? under the sub-headings of "Visual Appearances" or "Charity Appearances". The current version of the FAQ can be found at www.toadmail.com/~notten/FAQ-TOC.htm I've construed "additional musicians" to be those who played on stage in addition to the members of the Moody Blues. Although Patrick Moraz was legally determined to be a contract player, and not a member of the Moody Blues, I have omitted him from the listing of additional musicians for brevity. Moraz toured with the Moody Blues from 1978 through 1990. From 1965-1966 The Moody Blues were Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge, although Warwick left the band sometime in 1966 and was briefly replaced with Rod Clarke.

DAVISON, 5401 Woodward Avenue Ed itor: Associate_Editor Detroit 2, Michigan Membership $ 4 . 0 0 Membership $ 4 . 0 0 Supported in part by the Detroit Historical Society Editorial We hold no brief for the AQUARAMA, or any other vessel, but we would like to know more about the boats reported capsized by her wake on July lij., in the Detroit River. Newspaper reports did not mention the size or type of the boats that came to grief. One carried four persons and the other five, it is said. One, at least, was powered by an out­ board motor, which always adversely affects the stability of what ever it is attached to. Now, it is possible that an outboard-rigged boat can be big enough to carry four or five people, but from what I saw, from the deck of the schooner J.T. WING, over a period of eight years, the average outboard craft is about 16 feet long, and only upon rare occasions did I see them without one, or more people in them than they could safely carry. Before we condemnthe AQUARAMA and Captain Morgan Howell,her skipper,let us have the facts in the case, from both sides. We are opposed to undue speed of large vessels in restricted waters, but more opposed to the practice of overloading small boats and venturing out in poorly designed small craft which can not meet the conditions to which they are exposed.
