Maryland Manual Supplement 1975-1976 199 MARYLAND MANUAL SUPPLEMENT 1975-1976 ■ - ' ' ^-3-/3-^] 992232 MARYLAND MANUAL yf: N o i\ SUPPLEMENT 1975-1976 Compiled By EDWARD C. PAPENFUSE State Archivist and FRANK F. WHITE, JR. Editor Issued By FRED L. WINELAND Secretary of State Annapolis, Maryland Distributed and Sold By Department of General Services Hall of Records Commission Annapolis, Maryland The John D. Lucas Printing Company 2601 Sisson Street Baltimore, Md. 21211 Copyright 1975 By The Hall of Records Commission of the State of Maryland FOREWORD The MARYLAND MANUAL SUPPLEMENT for 1975-1976, is an updated and abbreviated version of the 1973-1974 MARYLAND MANUAL. It contains an overview of State and local Government reflecting organizational and personnel changes that have occurred since the spring of 1974. With its name and general index and tele- phone numbers, including those for members of the General Assembly, it should prove an invaluable reference tool. However, it should be used in conjunction with the current MARYLAND MANUAL, be- cause it does not contain agency descriptions, certain election returns, historical data, or relevant documents such as Maryland’s Charter and the State Constitution, all of which are to be found in the 1973- 1974 MANUAL. As is the case with the full MARYLAND MANUAL, this SUP- PLEMENT could not have been compiled without the cooperation of many individuals and agencies, and to them we are greatly in- debted. Although it is not practical to mention each by name we are especially grateful to the Honorable George R. Lewis, Secretary of the Department of General Services, of which we are a part, for his constant support and encouragement of the project. Frank F. White, Jr., Editor of the MANUAL, has done his usual fine job in preparing this SUPPLEMENT, and to him should go the major share of the credit for its compilation. It is Mr. White’s duty to begin the new MANUAL when the old one is hardly off the press, to collect the information needed, process it, and see the book to completion. Copies of the 1973-1974 MANUAL and the paperbound SUPPLE- MENT, 1975-1976, can be purchased from the Hall of Records, Box 828, Annapolis, Maryland 21404, at the following prices: $8.00 cloth- bound and $6.00 paperbound for the full MANUAL, 1973-1974; and $5.00 for the paperbound SUPPLEMENT, 1975-1976. Purchasers residing in Maryland must also pay a sales tax of 4% unless they have been granted a tax exemption. Edward C.

The GWMP encompasses some 7,428 acres in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. For reasons that will later be explained, a small part of this acreage is not administered by its superintendent, and a greater amount of land formerly within GWMP now lies within another national park unit. Some of the GWMP acreage the superintendent administers is commonly known by other names, like Great Falls Park in Virginia and Glen Echo Park in Maryland. While most national park units may be characterized as predominantly natural, historical, or recreational, GWMP comprises such a diverse array of natural, historic, and recreational resources that it defies any such categorization. Further complicating matters, GWMP's superintendent also administers four other areas classed as discrete national park units-Arlington House, The Robert E.

David Wooten Chair Vice-Chair Vice-Chair Vice-Chair Vice-Chair Vice-Chair December 1, 2000 The Honorable Parris N. Glendening Governor The State of Maryland State House Annapolis, MD 21401 Dear Governor Glendening: While low unemployment rates and rising household incomes have rocketed Maryland into an unprecedented period of economic prosperity, several Eastern Shore counties have been left in the wake without the resources to reach their economic potential. At the request of the Eastern Shore Delegation, in December 1999, the Governor's Task Force on Eastern Shore Economic Development (Executive Order 01.01.1999.36) was authorized to address issues surrounding this economic disparity. On March 6, 2000, the first full Task Force, composed of nearly 200 representatives from state and local government, education, private industry, and community affairs, met at Chesapeake College to discuss the outlook for the region. The Task Force set as its goal to establish a forum in which business, government, and leaders from the entire Eastern Shore could provide leadership in developing smart growth strategies through a private/public partnership. These strategies would allow Eastern Shore residents to share in the current and future prosperity being realized across Maryland. State, local, and community leaders compose the steering committee, formed to assist the Task Force Chair. For the partnership to succeed, the Task Force urged each of the nine counties on the Eastern Shore to take part in a regional strategy and expanded the membership to ensure that each county has been adequately represented.

  • The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillm
    “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming.
