    How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

    B.C. HISTORY OF NURSING SOCIETY NEWS volume 21 | issue 3 | October 2010 BY SHEILA portraitsin time RANKIN ZERR THE VANCOUVER GENERAL HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING HAS A LONG AND HONORED HISTORY. In 1899, the Vancouver City Hospital Training School for Nurses was opened. The Nursing School would be affiliated with the hospital for the next ninety- nine years. The first graduation exercises were held in 1902, in the same year the Vancouver City hospital was renamed Vancouver General Hospital (VGH). The uniforms worn by the students and graduates of the Training School changed over also in this issue time as influences such as fashions for women, social issues and financial factors came into play. PAGE 5 After ninety-nine years of operation, with 8,768 graduates, the VGH School of Nursing closed. The following portrait dolls represent the major changes from 1899 to 1998. PAGE 6 PAGE 10 s01. THE 1899 TO 1913 UNIFORM The hospital supplied the materials for the students to make their own uniforms – a blue ankle length dress of twilled cotton with five inch white linen cuffs over long sleeves and with a high, starched white linen collar called a bishops collar. The white apron was gathered and about two inches shorter than the dress. The bib with two straps across the back was required. The cap had a three inch cuff, gathered at the crown that puffed up behind. High laced black boots and a stiff laced corset completed the required uniform. 02. THE 1918 UNIFORM CAP AND CAPE CHANGES In 1914 the uniform was changed to keep pace with the fashion of the day and the student need for comfort.

As detailed in the program, participants dressed in blackface and performed skits for audiences in Portland, Oregon. Programs in the OHS Research Library collection indicate the church performed minstrel shows from the 1940s until at least 1950. During that time, the church moved the show from a single performance at Grant High School to two performances at Civic Auditorium. ON THE COVER: On May 26, 2017, White supremacist Jeremy Christian verbally attacked two young women, one wearing a hijab, on a light-rail train in Portland, Oregon. Three men intervened, and Christian killed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, while severely injuring Micah Fletcher. In the days following the attack, a powerful, tangible response from the community developed at the Hollywood MAX station — a memorial to the victims that included chalk messages, photographs, candles, and flowers. Jackie Labrecque, then a reporter for KATU News, took this photograph at dawn after someone wrote, in pink chalk, Taliesin Namkai-Meche’s final words: “Please tell everyone on this train I love them.” The memorial, a response to tragedy, also provided hope through a resounding denouncement of hate.

  • The Boer War Memorial – Unveiled in Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham – 23Rd June 1906
    The Victoria Cross Garden The Story of the Anglo/Boer War Memorial erected in the Victoria Cross Garden, Cheswick Green Will you come with me in silent thought to the battlefields of South Africa, to the lonely graves scattered over the veldt, and to the thousands of those who had died of wounds, disease and sickness since that Great Adventure. John W Pettinger January 2019 The Mysterious Stones Those people who have lived in Cheswick Green since the new Village was built in the 1970s have been aware of a tall column standing in the garden of 194 Creynolds Lane, on the corner of Cheswick Way. A fascinating and mysterious feature. Living in this Village, with its many odd features and origins, has stirred in many of its inhabitants a desire to understand more of its history. The author has some understanding of its origins and some of its odd features. Having relatives who were brought up and lived on the old Mount Estate, and who as children were discouraged from playing in the area around the column. It was regarded as a special, almost sacred place and not a place for playing! But what was its significance, and why was it regarded as special? There exists an old pamphlet from the early 1900s, advertising the features and attractions of the Pleasure Grounds that existed in Cheswick at that time. This document contains a reference to a ‘Victoria Cross Garden’. VICTORIA CROSS GARDEN. This is another object of interest commemorating the South African War, and especially the bravery of the Warwickshire men who were engaged.
