New York, U. 5. A. From Painting by Dr. E, F. Coriu, Paris K.1s11\1 UL CASTLE} IsLE OF BAH HA PREFACE AVING a Highlander's pride of race, it was perhaps natural that I should have been deeply H interested, as a lad, in the stirring tales and quaint legends of our ancient Clan. With maturity came the desire for dependable records of its history, and I was disappointed at finding only incomplete accounts, here and there in published works, which were at the same time often contradictory. My succession to the Chiefship, besides bringing greetings from clansmen in many lands, also brought forth their expressions of the opinion that a complete history would be most desirable, coupled with the sug­ gestion that, as I had considerable data on hand, I com­ pile it. I felt some diffidence in undertaking to write about my own family, but, believing that under these conditions it would serve a worthy purpose, I commenced this work which was interrupted by the chaos of the Great War and by my own military service. In all cases where the original sources of information exist I have consulted them, so that I believe the book is quite accurate.

  • Voting Rights Act Materials Reader’S Note
    Voting Rights Act Materials Reader’s Note The following pages include historical artifacts, such as news articles, quotes, and published letters from the 1960s about the events leading up to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. They were originally published as part of the Secretary of State’s 2015-2016 Legislative Manual, or “Blue Book.” As readers will see, the language used and printed fifty years ago to describe the struggles faced by African-Americans and other communities of color is considerably different than today. The Secretary of State’s St. Paul Pioneer Press, March 16, 1965 Office, in consultation with the Saint Paul NAACP, felt it was important for Minnesotans to read these sources of information as they were written in 1965, not only for historical context but so Minnesotans can better understand how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go. Steve Simon Minnesota Secretary of State Jeffry Martin Saint Paul NAACP, President Key Events and Legislative Dates ♦ March 7 – March 25, 1965: Voting rights marches in Selma, Alabama ♦ March 15, 1965: President Johnson addresses Congress and calls for voting rights legislation ♦ March 17, 1965: Voting Rights Act introduced in the Senate as S. 1564 ♦ May 26, 1965: Passed the United States Senate (77-19) ♦ July 9, 1965: Passed the United States House of Representatives with amendment (333-85) ♦ July 29, 1965: Reported by the joint conference committee ♦ August 3, 1965: Agreed to by the United States House of Representatives (328-74) ♦ August 4, 1965: Agreed to by the United States Senate (79-18) ♦ August 6, 1965: Signed into law by United States President Lyndon B.

  • Foreword and Table of Contents
    Minnesota Legislative Manual Compiled for the Legislature of 2015-2016 Prepared pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 5.08 Published by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State Saint Paul, Minnesota Printed by Anderberg Innovative Print Solutions St. Louis Park, Minnesota Dedication of Blue Book To my fellow Minnesotans: I’m honored to present the 2015-2016 edition of the Minnesota Legislative Manual – also known as the “Blue Book.” As always, the Blue Book is a comprehensive guide to our government in Min- nesota. But it’s more than just a listing of offices, names, and biographies. It also contains interesting information about Minnesota’s history, culture, institutions, and profile. Since my days as a student, growing up in Hopkins, Minnesota, I’ve been a regular user of the Blue Book. I hope this edition will continue to be a trusted resource for people all over Minnesota, as it has been since the 1870s. I’m pleased to dedicate this edition of the Blue Book in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and the Minnesotans who made it a reality. A core mission of the Office of Secretary of State is to protect and strengthen the right to vote, so honoring the passage of that landmark legisla- tion, as well as the Minnesotans who fought tirelessly for equality and justice, is fitting and impor- tant. When President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law in 1965, he called it “a triumph for freedom as huge as any victory that has ever been won on any battlefield.” Before the law, many states openly suppressed the votes of African-Americans and other communities of color.

  • The Art of the Possible: Everett Dirksen's Role in Civil Rights Legislation of the 1950S and 1960S
    The Art of the Possible: Everett Dirksen’s Role in Civil Rights Legislation of the 1950s and 1960s Unable to secure enfranchisement and equality for African Americans through the executive and judicial branches, civil rights proponents turned to the legislative branch in the 1950s and 1960s. The Civil Rights Act of 1957 is often criticized as a weak compromise that lacked definitive power but it was very important because it demonstrated that it was possible to pass civil rights legislation. Southern congressmen and senators prevented any legislation from passing for decades due to their domination of powerful committees and their use of the filibuster. The 1957 act showed cracks in the system. There was another civil rights act in 1960 but southern opponents restricted its scope through the use of the filibuster. Civil rights proponents in Congress learned through these experiences that if they intended to pass meaningful legislation, they had to overcome the filibuster. The tool chosen to defeat the filibuster was cloture. The Senate adopted cloture, also known as Rule 22, in 1917. It allowed sixteen or more senators to file a petition and after a set amount of debate, senators voted and if two-thirds of the members present approved it, the filibuster stopped. The rules changed in 1949 to require two-thirds of the entire Senate. Cloture was difficult to invoke because many senators felt the filibuster was the only tool they had to oppose legislation introduced by a majority. Conservatives and senators from small states were especially wary of cutting off debate. In order to achieve cloture, and ultimately meaningful civil rights legislation, supporters had to assemble bipartisan coalition for a bill.

  • Interview with Karl Rolvaag
    Interview with Karl Rolvaag Interviewed by Mark Haidet December 11, 1978 MH: Today is December 11, 1978. This is Mark Haidet interviewing former Minnesota governor Karl Rolvaag in Deer River. Mr. Rolvaag, I think that an appropriate place to begin would be with a brief description of your family background and your early life in Minnesota. KR: Well, Mark, my father was a college professor at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. He was, by all reports that I get, a rather distinguished professorRolvaag of Norwegian language and literature and a special scholar in the area of the dramatistF. Henrik Ibsen. I still run into people who studied under him. He was also a novelist of significance; wrote in his native Norwegian language. He emigrated, incidentally, to the United States when he was 20 or 21 years of age. He never felt at home in the EnglishKarl language to the degree that he could write easily. He said he always thought in Norwegian. Society Northfield was a small community and St. Olaf College was at that time a rather small college. I graduated from Northfield public schoolwith system and started St. Olaf College in 1931. My father died that fall. I left home and came back in the fall semester of 1932. I then left home again and came back and graduated in 1941, receiving my diploma in one hand and my greetings from the President in the other. I entered military service through Selective Service in 1941. I don't know whatHistorical else you want to know about the early years.
