Futter, President, American Museum of Natural History 2 gilder lehrman institute of american history Dear Friends, We mark the twelfth year of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. In 1994, we set out to join the leaders of a national effort to restore the teaching, study, and writing of American history to a preeminent position in the education of our countrymen. We are grateful to the many institutions which have worked with us to this end. We thank the thousands of American leaders and citizens who have helped us. To teach our distinguished heritage to a great nation, proud of its common culture, continues to inspire us. We shall stand fast in this work, for it is one of the greatest continuing stories ever told. Richard Gilder Lewis E. Lehrman Co-Chairman Co-Chairman 3 gilder lehrman institute of american history Dear Friends and Colleagues, We are pleased to share with you some of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History’s high points in 2005: ● Richard Gilder and Lewis Lehrman were awarded the 2005 National Humanities Medal at a White House ceremony in November. The award honors individuals and organizations whose work has deepened the nation’s understanding of the humanities. ● In May, the Gilder Lehrman Institute received the first ever “Friend of History Award” presented by the Organization of American Historians. ● The Gilder Lehrman Institute’s quarterly online journal, History Now, was honored by the National Endowment for the Humanities as one of the best online resources for education in the humanities. ● The U.S. Department of Education awarded nine new Teaching American History grants to the Gilder Lehrman Institute and its partner Local Educational Agencies in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The Gilder Lehrman Institute is now a partner in twenty-five Teaching American History grants. ● The George Washington Book Prize, a new $50,000 annual award for outstanding published works on George Washington or the Founding Era, was presented by co-sponsors Washington College, the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, and the Gilder Lehrman Institute. Historian and author Ron Chernow was honored for his book, Alexander Hamilton. ● The Gilder Lehrman Institute published Early American Abolitionists: A Collection of Anti-Slavery Writings 1760-1820, which restores to view some of the extensive anti-slavery literature that flourished in early America. The 2003 Gilder Lehrman History Scholars, undergraduates at the time, were among the editors of the book. ● The Gilder Lehrman Institute published The Founding Era, the first volume in its History in a Box series—document-based resources for teachers and students that address critical themes in American history. ● The Legacy Project’s collection of 20,000 letters from America’s wars, under the directorship of Andrew Carroll, was placed on deposit with the Gilder Lehrman Institute.

  • The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate
    Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate RALPH R. TINGLEY Party factionalism, individual ambitions, and personal rivalries contributed in 1924 to a situation unique in South Dakota politics. The names of eight candidates vying for one seat in the United States Senate graced the November ballots. Beyond the multiplicity of candidates, the election contest was also marked by its longevity, an element aggravated by a complex primary system initiated by the Richards Primary Law of 1918. Under this law, the election process started on the second Tuesday of November in the preceding year so that almost twelve months passed before final office holders were elected. The 1924 election, therefore, started on 13 November 1923, when every precinct elected three proposalmen for each party. Besides selecting county candidates, these proposalmen also chose three of their number from the county to assemble with other county delegations on 4 December to propose candidates and prepare a state platform for their party. At this state meeting in Pierre, each delegate had the power to cast votes totaling one-third the number of votes cast in his county for the party's gubernatorial choice in the preceding election. Proposal- men who dissented from the majority nomination could file an alternate slate. Any additional nonconformists were required to file as independents, without majority or minority sponsorship but with individual petitions that had endorsements representing at least 1 percent of the total number of votes cast for the party's Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

Howard-Hassmann Canada Research Chair International Human Rights Wilfrid Laurier University Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3C5 [email protected], +1 (519) 884-0710 ext 2780 Neither this paper, nor any part of it, is to be reproduced or circulated without permission of the author. Note to Readers: This paper is drawn from my book in progress (with Anthony P. Lombardo), Reparations to Africa, especially chapter 5 (“The Slave Trade: Law and Rhetoric”), chapter 6 “The Slave Trade: Debates,” and chapter 1, “Reparations to Africa: A New Kind of Justice.” Introduction This paper considers the call for reparations to Africa from the West, for the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as a form of transitional justice between regions (the West and Africa), which might result in better understanding—and less political resentment, between the two areas. Nevertheless, the call for reparations is so far ridden with rhetorical over-statements, misunderstandings of international law, and misinterpretations C:/reparations/working papers/UConn march 12 07 ©Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann Feb 5, 2007 2 of history. These are unlikely to result in any material reparations from the West to Africa for the slave trade. The discussion below focuses especially on the 2001 United Nations World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa, and on the call for reparations by the Group of Eminent Persons (GEP) established by the Organization of African Unity in 1992. The two remaining active members of the GEP in the early twenty-first century were Ali Mazrui and Jacob Ajayi.

Miller Cataloging Services Department Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County September 2008 The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County 800 Vine Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45202‐2071 513‐369‐6900 www.cincinnatilibrary.org The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, located on the banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, opened its doors on August 23, 2004. The Freedom Center facility initially included the John Rankin Library, but funding issues eventually lead to the elimination of the librarian position and closing the library to the public. In the fall of 2007, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center entered into an agreement for their John Rankin Library to be housed at the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati as a long‐term loan. The initial loan period is 10 years. The items from the Freedom Center have been added to the Library’s catalog and have been incorporated into the Main Library’s Genealogy & Local History collection. These materials are available for the public to check out, if a circulating item, or to use at the Main Library, if a reference work. The unique nature of the Freedom Center’s collection enhances the Main Library’s reference and circulating collections while making the materials acquired by the Freedom Center again available to the public.
