The typical list of organizations includes, inter alia, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

  • Omnibus June 2019 Dem Primary
    Democratic Dividing Lines Verified Voter Omnibus Survey N=484 Democrats or Democratic leaners June 22 - June 25, 2019 !X!1 Key Findings • Biden’s lead among 24 announced Democratic candidates has narrowed by 6-points since May to 32% of the Democratic vote. • Biden’s 6-point drop came with a concurrent 6-point gain by Elizabeth Warren to 11% of the Democratic vote, or 4- points behind Bernie Sanders who takes 15% of the Democratic vote. • Biden continues to lead both Sanders and Warren in head to head match-ups, but his lead has narrowed to 30-points from both Sanders and Warren, down from 36-points ahead of Sanders and 47-points ahead of Warren in May. • 73% of Democrats plan to watch the debates, or coverage of the debates. Ahead of the kickoff of tonight’s debates, we tested Democratic concern about two recent pieces of news about Biden — his flip flopping on the Hyde Amendment’s impact on access to abortion, and past associations with segregationists. • We found the Hyde Amendment resonates more strongly with Democratic voters, with 39% of Democrats concerned about Biden’s stance on the Hyde Amendment, and 22% concerned about his associations with segregationists. • Particularly concerned are women, African Americans, younger voters, and more educated voters. !2 Methodology • Using a voter file-matched online panel, we surveyed n=1,006 registered voters across the country from June 22 to June 25, 2019, with a sample of 484 Democrats or Democratic-leaning Independents. • With our third monthly tracking survey of 2019, we were able to confirm the voting history of participants and track changes in the attitudes and behaviors of key 2020 voters since our last survey of verified Democratic or Democratic-leaning Independent voters from May 20 to May 21, 2019.

  • Thurgood Marshall House Restoration Preserving History and Advancing Legacy
    Thurgood Marshall House Restoration Preserving history and advancing legacy 1632-1634 Division Street Baltimore, MD 2 Objective: To acquire Thurgood Marshall’s childhood home - restore, preserve, and establish it as a national civil rights destination, community law center, and catalyst for neighborhood renewal. 3 Thurgood Marshall Marshall was born in Baltimore, MD, on July 2, 1908. He was descended from slaves on both sides of his family. His father, William Marshall, worked as a railroad porter, and his mother Norma, as a teacher; they instilled in him an appreciation for the United States Constitution and the rule of law. Marshall first learned how to debate from his father, who took Marshall and his brother to watch court cases; they would later debate what they had seen. The family also debated current events after dinner. Marshall said that although his father never told him to became a lawyer, he “turned me into one. He did it by teaching me to argue, by challenging my logic on every point, by making me prove every statement I made.” Marshall attended Frederick Douglass High School in Baltimore and was placed in the class with the best students. He graduated a year early in 1925 with a B-grade average, and placed in the top third of the class. He went to Lincoln University. In his freshman year he opposed the integration of African-American professors at the university. In his second year Marshall participated in a sit-in protest against segregation at a local movie theater. In that year, he was initiated as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first fraternity founded by and for blacks.

  • Biden Is Only Leading Dem to Top Trump in Ohio, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Former V.P
    Peter A. Brown, Assistant Director (203) 535-6203 Rubenstein Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: JULY 25, 2019 BIDEN IS ONLY LEADING DEM TO TOP TRUMP IN OHIO, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; FORMER V.P. HAS BIG LEAD IN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Former Vice President Joseph Biden leads President Donald Trump 50 – 42 percent in the critical swing state of Ohio, the only leading Democratic candidate to top the Republican incumbent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. The other leading Democratic contenders each are locked in a dead heat with President Trump, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds: 46 percent for Trump to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 45 percent; Trump at 46 percent to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 45 percent; 44 – 44 percent between Trump and California Sen. Kamala Harris; 44 – 44 percent between Trump and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg; 44 percent for Trump to 43 percent for New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker. Women, black voters and independent voters give Biden his lead in the matchup with Trump. Biden leads 53 – 40 percent among women, as men are split with 46 percent for Biden and 45 percent for Trump. White voters are divided, with 48 percent for Trump and 45 percent for Biden. Black voters go Democratic 84 – 8 percent. Independent voters go to Biden 55 – 32 percent. Republicans back Trump 86 – 10 percent as Biden leads 96 – 2 percent among Democrats. “Former Vice President Joseph Biden calls himself a blue-collar guy. With Ohio certainly a blue-collar state, it is no surprise he is the Democrat who runs best against President Donald Trump and is solidly ahead in the Democratic primary in the Buckeye State,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: MARYLAND'S FIRST BLACK WOMEN LAW GRADUATES TAUNYA LOVELL BANKS* INTRODUCTION Until 1888, twenty years after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment,' the State of Maryland, by statute, restricted the practice of law to white males.2 Thus, both race and gender posed insurmounta- ble barriers to black women, white women, and black men who wanted to practice law in Maryland. Yet black and white women and black men did practice law in other states. In 1844, Macon Boiling Allen became the first known black lawyer when he was admitted to practice law in the State of Maine.3 Before the Civil War, no Southern state had admitted black Americans to practice law.4 Even after the War ended, Maryland, like other Southern states, continued to bar all blacks from the practice of 5 law.

  • Thurgood Marshall
    S E P A R A TE IS NOT EQUA L B R O W N v. B O A R D O F E D U C AT I O N Thurgood Marshall Thurgood Marshall, one of the leading legal figures of the 20th century, grew up in a nurturing African American environment in segregated Baltimore. His father was a railroad dining-car porter and steward at a country club. His mother, a homemaker, was a graduate of the historically black Coppin Normal School. After graduating from all-black Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, he enrolled in Howard University’s law school. In 1934 Marshall began practicing law in his hometown and immediately was drawn into the local civil rights movement. Soon after graduation, he took the case of Donald Gaines Murray, an African American student seeking admission to the University of Maryland School of Law. This case went to the state supreme court and successfully challenged segregated education in Maryland. Afterwards, in 1936, Thurgood Marshall moved to New York and joined the NAACP legal staff. In 1938 Marshall took over the leadership of the NAACP legal team from his mentor, Charles Hamilton Houston. Thurgood Marshall was the lead attorney in Brown v. Board of Education, and it was he who announced the shift in the NAACP’s strategy in 1950 from equalization to desegregation. He coordinated the legal campaigns of the various local and New York attorneys who participated in the four “state cases,” and remained in close touch with the attorneys in the Washington, D.C., case. In South Carolina, he met with local leaders, and presented some of the arguments in the federal district court himself.

  • CNN/SSRS Poll -- December 04, 2019 to December 08, 2019 - Texas TABLE 007 Question P9 P9
    1 Braxton Way Suite 125 Glen Mills, PA 19342 484-840-4300 www.ssrs.com OVERVIEW The study was conducted for CNN via telephone by SSRS, an independent research company. Interviews were conducted from December 4, 2019 to December 8, 2019 among a sample of 1,205 respondents who live in Texas. The landline total respondents were 421 and there were 784 cell phone respondents. The margin of sampling error for total respondents is +/-3.4 at the 95% confidence level. The design effect is 1.46. For results among the 327 respondents who are likely to vote in the Democratic primary the margin of sampling error is +/-6.6 and for results among the 537 respondents who are likely to vote in the Republican primary it is +/-5.0. More information about SSRS can be obtained by visiting www.ssrs.com. Question text noted in parentheses was rotated or randomized. Values less than 0.5 percent are indicated by an asterisk (*). NOTE ABOUT CROSSTABS Interviews were conducted among a representative sample of the adult population, age 18 or older, of Texas. Members of demographic groups not shown in the published crosstabs are represented in the results for each question in the poll. Crosstabs on the pages that follow only include results for subgroups with a minimum n=125 unweighted cases. Results for subgroups with fewer than n=125 unweighted cases are not displayed and instead are denoted with "SN" because samples of that size carry larger margins of sampling error and can be too small to be projectable with confidence to their true values in the population.
