Together, they formed Massachusetts, stands outside the historic residence where a small group of activists the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts—the first ACLU state affiliate in founded the organization in 1920. the nation. The ACLU has always been rooted in courage and guided by a vision: to extend the promise of civil rights and civil liberties to all people. In 1920, the U.S. Supreme Court had yet to uphold a single free speech claim. So- called radicals were rounded up and deported in droves. Activists languished in jail for distributing anti-war literature and for promoting contraception and equal rights. Women won the right to vote just that year, and the Voting Rights Act was decades away. Equal rights for LGBTQ people were unthinkable. And yet, the ACLU dared to envision how, by standing together in support of civil rights and civil liberties, we could create a more just and equitable nation for all. Much has changed in the last century—but our role has not. For 100 years, the ACLU has been the leading defender of freedom here in Massachusetts and nationwide. The ACLU has grown from a small group of idealists to a vast resistance movement.

Box 71 Vincennes, Indiana 47591 March 28, 2015 Ladies and Gentlemen: Vincennes is Indiana’s first city, and this historic community lays claim to many other Indiana firsts—first bank, first newspaper, first university, first hospital, and the capital of the Indiana Territory, before Indiana became a state.DOUGLAS It seems E. STEELE fitting, PRESIDENT that Vincennes should also be home to the first Rotary club chartered in a town of less than 25,000 people, a town that Rotary International thought was too small to sustain a club! After nearly two years of persistence, and with the help and sponsorship of the Terre Haute Rotary Club, Vincennes received its charter, and the rest is history. We not only became a viable Rotary club but have been an active, vibrant club that is doing what good Rotary clubs do—making a difference in their community and beyond! Welcome to the Vincennes Rotary Centennial Celebration, and thank you for helping us celebrate our successful, first 100 years. Last October, we were the first club in District 6580 to conduct a three-year visioning process which, I feel confident, will help us to positively kick off our second 100 years.

  • Additional Historic Information the Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish
    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.
