Negro) and East Los Angeles (predominantly Mexican-American) was taken by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in November, 1965, and the results were compared with 1960 census statistics. Although total population declined in both areas, further "ghettoization" took place as percentages of major culture groups increased. Housing conditions and family status deteriorated in both areas. Increases were shown in women heads of households and children living in one-parent homes. Unemployment rates decreased slightly, but not in keeping with the nationwide drop in unemployment. Although median family income increased slightly in both areas, purchasing power fell significantly at a time when real income in both the nation and the west increased. In addition to widespreadproblems of education and job preparation, cultural discrimination was a major problem in South and East Los Angeles.

But it has been selective prosperity, reserved largely for the well educated,. white Anglo, Eng Iiisk-speaking citizen. Many Negroes and people of Spanish surname do not share in this prosperity. Their deprivationl has been most heavily felt in the State's largest urban complex, Los Angeles, where high unemployment for minorities, low income for those who are worldng, substandard housing, and one-parent families constitute the past, present. and probable future of many residents in the South and East areas of that metropolis.. Indeed, there is evidence that minority communities in some sections. of Los Angeles,. far from advancing, are steadily sinking below previous levels. Purchasing power of average family income in South and East Los Angeles fell. by $400 between 1960 and 1965. Wh.:Te in the Nation as a whole the unemployment rate of nonwhite men was cut from 12 to 6 percent, the unemployment rate for men in South Los Angeles remained virtually un- changed--Il percent in 1960 and 10 percent in 1965. These harsh facts emerge from a special census survey made in South and East Los Angeler three months after the Watts eruption of August 1965. Some of the deterioration may be attributed to lower averages resulting when the more successful minority families move out of the depressed areas. Such successes are not measured in this report. But the difficulties confronting those who remain in the ghettos continue to multiply; the statistical analysis here supports long-voiced demands that their crushing socio-economic problems be faced clearly. It has often been surmised--and much repeated in the numerous studies that followed Watts--that South Central Los Angeles was a port-of-entry for unschooled, unsophisticated Negroes from the South who buckled at their first encounter with the pressures of urban life. Yet the special census reveals a high degree of residen- tial stability among residents: 87 percent had lived in the Los Angeles area for five or more years. Only six percent fit the description of the newcomer from the South. Again, the report indicates that cultural attributes that once seemed strong enough to survive ghetto pressures are in fact being eroded. The familial cohesiveness or interlocking neighborhoodrelationships that serve to support an individual through his worst times aregiving way to relentless economic and social pressures. Among Mexican Americans, as well as Negroes, the number of broken families is increasing. Casting dark shadows over all the statistics in this report are the fundamental issues of jobs and housing. Along with widespread problems of education and job preparation, discrimination because of race or national origin remains a major problem for the residents of South and East Los Angeles in their pursuit of good jobs or decent housing. Equal opportunity for all, based on merit and ability, is the goal of the Fair Employment Practice Commission. To achieve this end, it joins with other governmental agencies, federal, state and local, and with educational institutions, community groups and all responsible citizens, in working to find solutions to the problems posed by the serious inequities shown in this report.

  • Protest at the White House
    Classroom Resource Packet Protest at the White House INTRODUCTION For more than 100 years, people have exercised their First Amendment rights to speak out using the White House as both their stage and audience. Many of these protests have influenced legislation and encouraged government action. Demonstrations at the White House have taken the form of nighttime vigils, marches, picketing, and other peaceful activities. CONTEXTUAL ESSAY The United States Constitution provides for “the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Lafayette Park, located on the north side of the White House, has become an important place for public exercises of the First Amendment, which protects Americans’ freedom of speech (Image 1). Advocates of a wide variety of causes have long understood the relevance of the location and used it in their attempts to effect change. Sometimes their campaigns changed the views of fellow citizens including government decision makers. In 1916, the National Woman’s Party moved their headquarters to Lafayette Square. Suffragists, wanting to confront President Woodrow Wilson about women’s voting rights, gave speeches, marched with banners demanding the right to vote, and stood with picket signs in front of the White House gates (Images 2-4). Supportive onlookers cheered; others hissed and accused the protestors of “bad manners and mad banners.” Hundreds of women were arrested, charged with inciting unlawful assembly and obstructing the sidewalk. In August 1917, an unruly crowd, upset by a banner labeling the president “Kaiser Wilson,” threw eggs and Image 3 tomatoes at the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage headquarters, and a bullet was fired through a second-floor window (Image 5).

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

  • Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, 1968
    United Nations Audiovisual Library of International Law TREATY ON THE NON-PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS, 1968 While the issue of the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons had arisen in the general discussions on disarmament since the early days of the United Nations, it was not until 17 October 1958, during the thirteenth session of the General Assembly, when Ireland introduced a draft resolution in the First Committee of the Assembly, that nuclear non-proliferation emerged as a distinct topic (A/C.1/SR.953). The draft resolution, adopted by the First Committee on 31 October 1958 would have established an ad hoc committee to study the dangers inherent in the further dissemination of nuclear weapons (A/C.1/L.206). The General Assembly did not adopt any resolution on the issue during its thirteenth session. However, pursuant to a request by Ireland (A/4125), the General Assembly included on the agenda of its fourteenth session the item “Prevention of the wider dissemination of nuclear weapons”. At its fourteenth session, in 1959, following the recommendation of the First Committee (A/4286), to which the item had been allocated, the General Assembly adopted resolution 1380 (XIV) on 20 November 1959.
