XI. COMMENTS FROM THE CHAPTER: There were no significant comments, so the President offered the following closing comments: A. CLOSING COMMENTS: Dick Toliver - Ladies and gentlemen, our communities and nation are desperately seeking answers to the persistent scourge of COVID-19 and the recent social and racial upheaval. Therefore, allow me to offer two great examples to consider: The Tuskegee Airmen and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. -- In 1945, a group of over 100 black officers boldly protested the racist military leadership at Freeman Field, Indiana thus, initiating the first nonviolent protest against a rigidly segregated and powerful military establishment. The so-called "Freeman Filed Mutiny" was a series of incidents in which members of the 477th Bombardment Group attempted to integrate an all-white officers' club. The mutiny resulted in 162 separate arrests of black officers, some of them twice. Three were court-martialed on relatively minor charges. One was convicted. -- The mutiny is generally regarded by historians of the Civil Rights Movement as an important step toward full integration of the armed forces and as a model for later efforts to integrate public facilities through civil disobedience. Justice was finally served when President Harry Truman ordered the desegregation of the armed forces in 1948 with the Executive Order 9981. Although many whites in the military resisted the order, this was a major civil rights victory for African Americans. It took decades before the Freeman Field charges were finally resolved. -- Ten years after the Freeman Filed Mutiny, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. launched his Nonviolent Protest for Justice and Social Change in the "Cradle of the Confederacy." Many believed Dr. King considered, in part, the legacy of the Tuskegee airmen. However, the very core of his philosophy was based upon his great capacity to love and his foundation of faith. - The Tuskegee Airmen's incredible legacy of service and Dr. King's legacy of faith, forgiveness, and love have stood the test of time and are still relevant today. As President of ARAC, I strongly encourage you to let us keep our focus on the stated missions of TAI and ARAC. Let us keep on doing what we have been doing, especially in reaching the youths across the valley, throughout the state, and throughout the Western Region. ARAC's contributions in scholarships in Arizona, the National Scholarship Fund, and Tuskegee University have been particularly noteworthy. - I humbly submit that as we strive to accomplish our mission with determination, passion, and vigor, WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITES BETTER PLACES IN WHICH TO LIVE! XII. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 2:55 PM MEMBERS IN ON TELEPHONIC CALL Patricia Arreola Ron McGee Benita Beckles James Modeste Nate Carr Bill Norwood Ted Dowd Dave Toliver Diana Gregory Gail Toliver Ron Hilliard Peggy Toliver Erin Lanphier Richard Toliver Iain Lanphier Valetta Toliver Christine Martinez Carol Weaver .

  • Seeds of Growth: Neighborhoods on the Salt River Floodplain VARS Locational Map
    Seeds of Growth: Neighborhoods on the Salt River Floodplain VARS Locational Map The City of Phoenix Aviation Department’s Community Noise Reduction Program (CNRP) funded this report. The CNRP was created by the Phoenix City Council in 2002, and offered services to eligible Phoenix and Tempe residents living in the neighborhoods most severely impacted by noise from aircraft using Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Residential property owners wishing to receive assistance were eligible for Voluntary Acquisition and Relocation Services (VARS). The VARS boundaries, determined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), were 7th Street to the west, 44th Street to the east, Washington Street to the north, and University Drive to the south. VARS was a voluntary buy-out program whereby eligible home- and landowners could sell their property to the City of Phoenix and relocate to a comparable dwelling of their choice in any community outside of the program area and outside other noise-impacted areas. The CNRP-VARS project area included seven residential neighborhoods: Eastlake Park, North/32nd Street, Ann Ott, El Campito, Cuatro Milpas, Green Valley, and Rio Salado San Juan Bautista. From 2007 to 2013, a research team from Desert Archaeology, Inc. and Arizona Preservation Consultants studied prehistoric and historic archaeological resources affected by the project. This research, sponsored by the City of Phoenix, in cooperation with the FAA and the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), was conducted in compliance with federal and state laws that protect our nation’s cultural resources, ensuring that the valuable scientific information contained in these resources would be carefully collected, analyzed, preserved, and reported.

Alright, Ken, do you have any questions for me? HOLLIN: No. I go by Ken, though. You said Kenneth. INT: Ken, sorry. HOLLIN: Only my mom calls me Kenneth. (laughs) INT: Ken, um, when did you first come to ASU? HOLLIN: As a student? Or first visit here? INT: First visit here. HOLLIN: Well, I was brought up in Yuma, Arizona, and uh…I’ll give you a roundabout answer. I’m the youngest of three kids in my family. My older brother and sister both went to U of A. When I was in high school I would go and visit them so I was a Wildcat fan growing up. And then in my junior year of high school, junior/senior year I was on the Yuma High basketball team. So every other weekend we’d have basketball…in the basketball season we’d have an overnight trip – played a game Friday then another game Saturday in this area.
