  • U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER
    U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER A Daily Summary of Motor Carrier Applications and of Decisions and Notices Issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration DECISIONS AND NOTICES RELEASED October 21, 2011 -- 10:30 AM NOTICE Please note the timeframe required to revoke a motor carrier's operating authority for failing to have sufficient levels of insurance on file is a 33 day process. The process will only allow a carrier to hold operating authority without insurance reflected on our Licensing and Insurance database for up to three (3) days. Revocation decisions will be tied to our enforcement program which will focus on the operations of uninsured carriers. This process will further ensure that the public is adequately protected in case of a motor carrier crash. Accordingly, we are adopting the following procedure for revocation of authority; 1) The first notice will go out three (3) days after FMCSA receives notification from the insurance company that the carrier's policy will be cancelled in 30 days. This notification informs the carrier that it must provide evidence that it is in full compliance with FMCSA's insurance regulations within 30 days. 2) If the carrier has not complied with FMCSA's insurance requirements after 30 days, a final decision revoking the operating authority will be issued.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1324 LONGWORTH HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING HEARING ON H.R. 87, H.R. 295, H.R. 1621 AND H.R. 2817 FEBRUARY 11, 2016 WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF DR. HENRY N. TISDALE PRESIDENT, CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY CHAIR, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, UNCF Introduction Good afternoon, Congressman McClintock, Congresswoman Tsongas and Members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for holding this hearing and the opportunity to testify on H.R. 295 – legislation to reauthorize the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Historic Preservation Program, sponsored by Congressman Clyburn. I am Henry Tisdale, president of Claflin University, located in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Claflin University was founded 147 years ago and we take pride in being the oldest HBCU in South Carolina. We are a private, four-year liberal arts university, enrolling approximately 2000 students. Our students are predominantly low- income, African-American students who are the first in their families to attend college. Claflin is part of a network of 106 private and public HBCUs across the country established as early as 1837 to provide African Americans with access to higher education. I also chair the Government Affairs Committee of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), which has a 72- year partnership with 37 private HBCUs, including Claflin University. HBCU historic preservation was a signature UNCF initiative from 1995 through 1999 when UNCF partnered with the National Park Service to support the rehabilitation of historic structures on ten HBCU campuses. HBCUs and their campuses have a significant place in American history, including serving as the first educational institutions for former slaves and freedmen, repositories of important books/papers/memorabilia of Black history, and as meeting places during the civil rights struggles of the 1900s.

  • Margaret Abigail Walker Was Born on July 7, 1915 in Birmingham, Alabama
    Margaret Walker Alexander and the Study of the 20th Century African American As a professor of English at Jackson State University (JSU) in 1968, Margaret Walker Alexander founded the Institute for the Study of the History, Life, and Culture of Black People. Inspired “to write the songs of her people” from a diverse group of authors ranging from Phillis Wheatley, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and William Blake to William Faulkner and the prophets of Hebrew scripture, Alexander was an already accomplished essayist, poet, and novelist. At the forefront of a nascent Black Studies movement, Alexander had had the unique opportunity both to be mentored by the likes of W.E.B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and Sterling A. Brown and to be a mentor to writers such as Amiri Baraka, James Baldwin, Haki Madhubuti, Nikki Giovanni, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, and Sonia Sanchez. Thus, the Institute and its mission reflected her complete immersion in 20th Century African-American history and culture.
