Vice President Jennifer Davis, Executive Director June 24, 1992 For more information call: Richard Knight American Committee on Africa 212-962-1210 ADVISORY U.S. Mayors Call for Sanctions to Stay The U.S. Conference of Mayors, representing some 900 mayors of cities with populations over 30,000 in the United States, passed a resolution today at their annual meeting in Houston reaffirming support for city sanctions against South Africa. The mayor's resolution notes that "Nelson Mandela has stated that he will call on U.S. cities to lift existing sanctions against South Africa when the negotiations have resulted in the establishment of an interim government" and calls for cities to maintain sanctions against South Africa "until representatives of the democratic movement in South Africa call for their lifting." Mayor after mayor at the meeting stood up to condemn the South African government's role in the recent killings at Boipatong. The Mayor's go on to say that when an interim government is in place, "companies which do business in South Africa will make a positive commitment to help overcome the legacy of apartheid and promote equality of opportunity among all South Africans." The resolution was sponsored by Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn, who is outgoing president of the conference, and the mayors of New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Denver, New Orleans, Houston, Detroit, Seattle, Baltimore, Kansas City, San Leandro, New Haven, Newark, and Miami. The South African government lobbied vigorously against the resolution, and Ambassador Schwarz had aides place personally addressed letters to each mayor under their doors at the conference hotel. Schwarz argued against linking the lifting of sanctions to a call from the democratic movement and Nelson Mandela. Dumisani Kumalo of the American Committee on Africa, who worked with Mayor Flynn to draft the resolution, and attended the conference. "The support of the mayors for this resolution shows that U.S. cities are firm in their support for the struggle for freedom in South Africa," Kumalo said.

    Dr. King’s Dream Amplified (A Historical Synopsis of Denver’s and Colorado’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) Co-Documented By The Honorable Wilma J. Webb Mayor Wellington E. Webb & Dr. Vernon Howard April 4, 1968, the day that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., worldwide humanitarian, was assassinated, spurred an unstoppable and unapologetic movement to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a nationwide holiday in the United States of America. The Colorado Black Community, the clergy, civil rights organizations, elected officials, freedom fighters, and people from all walks of life launched an effort forward for this great American to be so honored because of his ability to change our nation and the world which was destined to forever be headed in a wrong direction by not acknowledging, respecting, regarding, and living out the ideal that all men and women are created equal. A law had to be created in Colorado to make that effort a reality. That path to accomplish a legal holiday in Colorado was championed by leaders in the Colorado General Assembly, who, over the years, included: Colorado State Senator George W. Brown, Colorado State Representative Wellington E. Webb, Colorado State Representative King M. Trimble, Colorado State Representative Arie P. Taylor, and ultimately Colorado State Representative Wilma J. Webb. These leaders began introducing, in the House of Representatives and in the State Senate, Tributes and Memorials to other elected officials who, by their support and by their votes, would have the responsibility and the honor to grant such a holiday. Early on, only one introduced bills to pass a law that would honor Dr.

    OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Mufi Hannemann, Mayor Kirk W. Caldwell, Managing Director • Trudi S. Saito, Deputy Managing Director TRANSPORTATION The 2009 fiscal year was chock-full of milestones for the City and County of Honolulu’s rail transit project. Charter Amendment Honolulu’s mass transit project passed a major milestone in November 2008 when Oahu voters solidly endorsed a City Charter question authorizing the City to establish a steel-wheel-on-steel-rail transit system by a 53 percent to 47 percent margin. On the heels of that approval, the City released the draft environmental impact statement for public comment in November and followed that in February with a request for proposals for the first segment of the system. The DEIS examined the environmental, economic, and community impacts and benefits of four future alternatives between Kapolei and the University of Hawaii at Manoa: three potential routes for a rail transit line from Kapolei to Ala Moana Center were analyzed in comparison to the no-build alternative. The City then issued a request for proposals in February for the construction of the first segment of the elevated guideway, from East Kapolei to Pearl Highlands, approximately 6.5 miles. The RFP is for an estimated $550 million to $600 million design-build contract that includes track installation and surface restoration in addition to the guideway viaduct. Stations along the guideway are to be constructed in future contracts. Transit-Oriented Development In March, the mayor approved Bill 10 (2008), which defines the City’s approach to transit-oriented development (TOD) around sta- tions for the planned rail transit system.

  • The World Class City 1982-2014.Pdf
    7. The World Class City—City Planning and Reinvestment, 1983-2014 By Thomas H. Simmons and R. Laurie Simmons with contributions by Mary Therese Anstey 7.1. Introduction1 Denver’s most recent era, 1983-2014, presents two sharply contrasting phases—a period of overbuilding, economic collapse, population loss, and slow recovery (1983-90) and a time of substantial population growth, neighborhood revival, and unprecedented civic and private investment (1990-2014). The city lost nearly 50,000 inhabitants between 1970 and 1990 but then added almost 200,000 people between 1990 and 2014. Denver ended the period as the nation’s twenty-first most populous city with a population of 663,862 and a rapidly expanding economy. Writing in 1990, historians Stephen J. Leonard and Thomas J. Noel captured the mood of the era at its fulcrum: As the 1990s dawned the metropolitan area seemed to be stuck in a nearly motionless car at a low point on the roller coaster. Despite an economy reminiscent of the 1860s, the 1890s, and the 1930s, Denverites hoped to resume their uphill climb. In the 1860s they built railroads to pull them out of their slump; in the 1890s they realized the importance of diversity; in the 1930s they looked to the federal government to bail them out. In the 1990s they dreamed old dreams on a grand scale: They hoped that the government would continue to spend; they expected that a new convention center would lure more tourists; and they started building a great airport.2 To lead the city through this turbulent period, voters elected four Democrats: Federico Peña (1983-91), Wellington Webb (1991-2003), John Hickenlooper (2003-11), and Michael Hancock (2011-present).
