Each conference has resulted in one or more publications that contain the recommendations of that particular conference. The recommendation of specifi cations and procedures for school buses and their operation has been a major purpose of all conferences. The 1939 Conference was called for this sole purpose and formulated a set of recommended standards for school buses of 20 or more passengers.

  • Black Women's Music Database
    By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established. Beginning with publications like The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern (1971) and African American Music by Mellonee Burnim and Portia Maultsby (2006),

  • Porchside Songs
    2021/22 PRESENTED BY PORCHSIDE SONGS LIVE & IN CONCERT, IN YOUR FRONT YARD! #PORCHSIDESONGSTO PRESENTING SEASON SPONSOR WELCOME TO PORCHSIDE SONGS One of the earliest decisions we made when the pandemic began was to curate mini-concerts and tour them to Toronto porches, backyards and neighbourhoods. After a frightening and devastating first wave, we experienced a healing each time another group experienced one of our PORCHSIDE SONGS. We watched families, friends and communities come back together after months of separation through live music. And we felt the electricity of giving groups of silenced artists a place to raise their voices again. We were able to share 80 concerts last summer throughout the city, bringing the gift of musical storytelling to over 1500 people. One year later, the return date for large-scale theatrical productions remains uncertain. But our early experiment with PORCHSIDE SONGS has become the guiding light for our work – artists can bring joy, inspiration and togetherness into people’s lives at this time if we meet people where they are and fill unexpected spaces with song. As the weather warms again, we are so excited to return music to the city with four new and sensational PORCHSIDE SONGS concerts, led by remarkable local artists. May witnessing these concerts bring you the same hope and joy that we are feeling by sharing them with you today.

  • Nevada's Gaming Odyssey
    A NEVADA LAWYER PARTS THE CURTAIN OF NOSTALGIA – NEVADA’S GAMING ODYSSEY By U.S. Senator Richard H. Bryan (Ret.) When the Comstock Lode was discovered near Virginia City in 1859 hundreds of prospectors, entrepreneurs, and adventurists crossed the Sierra Nevada and came to Nevada seeking their fortune. They brought with them a gambling culture. In 1861, the Nevada Territory was created, and Abraham Lincoln appointed James Nye as the Territorial Governor. Nye opposed games of chance and urged the Territorial Legislature to ban them. Responding to the Governor’s request, the legislature imposed stiff penalties for running or participating in a game of chance. Thus, began a 70-year odyssey with Nevada decriminalizing gambling in 1869 and then reversing course at the height of the Progressive Era and banning nearly all forms of gambling in1909. 9 NEVADA GAMING LAWYER SEPTEMBER 2020 With the decline of mining, happens here, stays here” continues Nevada’s population at the turn the mystique that Nevada is a very of the 20th century had declined to different place. 45,000.
