  • Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence
    SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.

  • Characteristics of the Cross Timbers Region
    Characteristics of the Cross Timbers Region Once a rural area thriving on agricultural practices such as cotton, peach, corn farming, and cattle ranching, the Cross Timbers Region is an area that was thickly wooded with Post and Blackjack Oaks and a mixture of prairies. This area covers portions of Kansas, Oklahoma and north central Texas. It also served as a north-south travel corridor for Native Americans so that they could remain hidden on their journey. For settlers, the Cross Timbers Region was a landmark that signaled the beginnings of Indian Territories and the western frontier. Ecologically, the Cross Timbers Region serves as habitat for large populations of mammals and birds. Much of this can be attributed to the area’s combination of ecological characteristics provided by heavily forested areas and prairies. One of the largest and most common of all wildlife living in the Cross Timbers Region is the white tail deer. Deer sustain large populations due to the abundant food sources associated with oak forests and prairie habitats. The area continues to provide wildlife with an adequate water supply through creeks and streams. The availability of water has been enhanced by the development of constructed lakes, ponds, and stock tanks for watering cattle, and agricultural uses. The Town of Flower Mound is located in the southeastern finger of the Cross Timbers Region. This area is typically dominated by Post (Quercus stellata) and Blackjack Oaks (Quercus marilandica). These two species of trees are drought- tolerant, low in stature, wind sculptured, slow growing, and poorly suited for urbanized areas. Originally, these trees were found in areas affiliated with tall grass prairies, however, over time much of the prairie areas have been sodded with Bermuda grass and seeded with Bahalia grass for grazing purposes.

  • Structure, Composition, and Regeneration of Cross Timbers Forest Fragments in Different Land Use Contexts
    STRUCTURE, COMPOSITION, AND REGENERATION OF CROSS TIMBERS FOREST FRAGMENTS IN DIFFERENT LAND USE CONTEXTS Ingrid Dunn Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2015 APPROVED: Alexandra Ponette-González, Major Professor Mathew Fry, Committee Member C. Reid Ferring, Committee Member Paul Hudak, Chair of the Department of Geography Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Dunn, Ingrid. Structure, Composition, and Regeneration of Cross Timbers Forest Fragments in Different Land Use Contexts. Master of Science (Applied Geography), May 2015, 85 pp., 17 tables, 12 figures, references, 120 titles. Throughout its current range, the Cross Timbers forest ecosystem is vulnerable to land- use change. In this study, we examined the surrounding land use matrix on the vegetation structure, composition and regeneration of six Cross Timbers forest fragments in Denton County, Texas (north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex). Two fragments adjacent to agricultural land, two to residential neighborhoods, and two formally protected forest sites were selected. In summer 2015, five 100 m2 plots were randomly established in each fragment at least 200 meters from the edge. In each plot, all live and dead trees ≥ 3 cm diameter were identified and their height and diameter at breast height (DBH at 1.3 m aboveground) measured. Evidence of dumping (presence of trash) was recorded as an index of human frequentation. Differences in vegetation structure among the forest fragments were found. Most notably, fragments adjacent to agriculture contained 25% to 50% fewer trees per hectare than all other sites (Kruskal-Wallis, p < 0.02), especially trees <10 cm DBH.

  • 1900-1902 (Pdf)
    SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS VOLUME V 1900-1902 COMPILED BY DAN FENTON 2003 INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the time period covered by this volume, there were four newspapers being published in Holton, The Holton Weekly Recorder, The Holton Weekly Signal, The Tribune, and The Kansas Sunflower. The Soldier Clipper, and the Whiting Journal continued in their respective cities. In Circleville, the Circleville News ceased publication on November 8, 1900, and was soon replaced by the Jackson County World, which began publication on December 7, 1900. In Hoyt, the Hoyt Sentinel began publication on April 12, 1902. In Denison, the Denison Herald began publication on September 25, 1902. As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a.paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration. Three ellipses denote the deletion of part of a sentence and four that of a sentence or even paragraphs. Each death notice is numbered consecutively and it is this number that appears in the index, not the page number. This is an all surname index that I hope will help the researcher identify family relationships that otherwise would be hidden. The index begins on page 893.
