  • Constance Baker Motley, James Meredith, and the University of Mississippi
    CONSTANCE BAKER MOTLEY, JAMES MEREDITH, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI Denny Chin* & Kathy Hirata Chin** INTRODUCTION In 1961, James Meredith applied for admission to the University of Mississippi. Although he was eminently qualified, he was rejected. The University had never admitted a black student, and Meredith was black.1 Represented by Constance Baker Motley and the NAACP Legal De- fense and Educational Fund (LDF), Meredith brought suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, alleging that the university had rejected him because of his race.2 Although seven years had passed since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education,3 many in the South—politicians, the media, educators, attor- neys, and even judges—refused to accept the principle that segregation in public education was unconstitutional. The litigation was difficult and hard fought. Meredith later described the case as “the last battle of the * United States Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. ** Senior Counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP. 1. See Meredith v. Fair, 305 F.2d 343, 345–46 (5th Cir. 1962) (setting forth facts); Meredith v. Fair, 298 F.2d 696, 697–99 (5th Cir. 1962) (same). The terms “black” and “Afri- can American” were not widely used at the time the Meredith case was litigated. Although the phrase “African American” was used as early as 1782, see Jennifer Schuessler, The Term “African-American” Appears Earlier than Thought: Reporter’s Notebook, N.Y.

  • Jacob Nicholls Clark - Revolutionary War Soldier by Wilma J
    Jacob Nicholls Clark - Revolutionary War Soldier By Wilma J. Clark of Deltona, Florida Jacob Nicholls Clark, born 13 October 1754, followed his brother James Clark into military service in the Revolutionary War in January of 1776. James had enlisted from Baltimore, Maryland in 1775. Jacob enlisted under Captain Samuel Smith in the First Regiment of the Maryland Line, in Baltimore Maryland, which was commanded by Colonel William Smallwood.1 Jacob’s Regiment marched from Baltimore, through Pennsylvania and New Jersey to the American Army Headquarters in New York City. 27 August 1776 he fought in the Battle of Long Island, which was commanded by Lord Sterling, and then retreated with the troops to Fort Washington, York Island, New York. The British and Hessians attacked Fort Washington 16 November 1776, overpowering the American Army, and forcing a surrender of Fort Washington to the Hessians. Jacob and other surviving American soldiers fled across the Hudson River to Fort Lee, New Jersey, only to find that Fort Lee had also been captured 20 November 1776. After these defeats, the Continental Army was exhausted, demoralized and uncertain of its future. It was a cold winter and many of the soldiers were now walking barefoot in the snow, leaving trails of blood. Believing that the need to raise the hopes and spirits of the troops and people was imperative, General George Washington, Commander in Chief, ordered a massive surprise attack on the Hessian held city of Trenton, New Jersey. Colonel Smallwood’s First Maryland Regiment marched into the Battle of Trenton under the command of Major General Nathaniel Greene, 26 December 1776,2 and Jacob was once again engaged in battle.

  • CHAPTER VII. T HE News of the Bombardment of Fort Sumter, In
    CHAPTER VII. MILITARY HISTORY (Concluded). The Civil War.-The Election of Lincoln and the Fall of Sumter.-The first Call for Three-Months’ Men.-Response from the Cape Towns.-War Meetings.-Subsequent Calls.-Bounties.-Enlistments.-Return of the Volunteers.-G. A. R. Posts.-Mon- uments. HE news of the bombardment of Fort Sumter, in April, 1861, T greatly affected and changed the feelings of the political parties of the Cape; and when the surrender of the fort by Major Anderson, on the 13th, was announced, the feeling was almost unani- mous in favor of crushing the rebellion, the method remaining the only party question. Of the citizens of the Cape large numbers were engaged in various pursuits on the sea; but those at home recognized the issue as inevitable and were at once determined in their action. On the morning of Monday, April 15th, appeared the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, calling for seventy-five thousand men for three months, to suppress the rebellion. Its effect was like an electric spark in quickening the resolution and action of the men of this county. The president’s estimate was short of the necessities of the movement, as the history of the war abundantly proved; but to his calm and judi- cious patriotism a grateful nation has erected enduring monuments of granite, and engraved his deeds upon lasting pages of history. The first official act of this Commonwealth relating to the war was the recommendation by Governor Andrew, in January, 1861, that the adjutant general ascertain with accuracy the number of officers and men of the volunteer militia of the state who would instantly respond to any call of the president of the United States for troops.
