From the collections of the George Washington Carver National Monument. Thirst for Knowledge: Historic Context for the 1872 Neosho Colored School The first national superintendent of schools for the Freedmen’s Bureau, northerner John W. Alvord, began his tenure with the Bureau in late 1865 with a personal tour of the former confederate states. His first report for the Bureau, written in January of 1866, commenced with the following notes. “The desire of the freedmen for knowledge cannot be overstated.” He included a list of reasons for that enthusiasm, the first of which was “the natural thirst for knowledge common to man.”1 1 John W.

If a newspaper and its publisher always keep those constituencies in that order: readers first, advertisers second, employees third, creditors fourth, and shareholders last, then the newspaper will do well journalistically and financially, and the interests of all con- stituencies will be well served.” — Walter E.

  • The Kochs Fight Against Working Families in Missouri
    ((FFRRcc?? THE KOC))HS FIGHFFT AGAI??NST WORKING FAMIRLRIES INPP MISS?O?URIee 1 "SHOW ME" THE MONEY! THE KOCHS FIGHT AGAINST WORKING FAMILIES IN MISSOURI In America’s “Show Me State,” the Koch brothers have once again shown us their transparent, self-interested agenda to serve their bottom line. With at least six companies and thirteen subsidiaries active in Missouri, including their longest pipeline, the Kochs have a personal financial interest in the state. To protect these interests, the Kochs have mobilized their flagship astroturf advocacy group, Americans for Prosperity, working in conjunction with the Koch-funded State Policy Network group, the Show-Me Institute, and ALEC to influence both electoral and policy outcomes for their financial gain. The Koch brothers’ Missouri meddling continuously prioritizes their corporate greed at the expense of the state’s workers, families, students, as well as the environment. Perhaps the best example of the Koch’s self-interested efforts is their campaign for right-to-work-for-less legislation. Americans for Prosperity proudly led a coalition of fifty-five organizations and organized a six figure media and ground effort to push Missouri legislators to weaken unions and collective bargaining. AFP attempted to deceive voters on the intentions of their efforts, as they promised this legislation was not “anti-union.” However, Missouri state representative and ALEC member Bill Lant, revealed the Kochs’ self-interest behind the campaign when he championed right-to-work “by projecting it would cut wages by 2 to 3 dollars an hour,” providing a boon to big businesses like Koch Industries.
