JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 1: PERSONAL/POLITICAL SUBSERIES 22: PATRONAGE, NOMINATIONS, EMPLOYMENT, & SCHOOL REFERENCES This subseries contains fifty-nine boxes of documents related to employment and school admission. A broad category, these files include information on individuals ranging from aspirants to the U.S. Supreme Court to students seeking summer employment as manual laborers in the Forest Service. The jobs under consideration include federal and state positions as well as careers in private business. Students sought the senator’s assistance in their applications to colleges, graduate schools, medical schools, and law schools. The files also contain correspondence from individuals wanting a position on Eastland’s congressional and committee staffs. Note that appointments to military service academies such as West Point and Annapolis appear in the Academy Appointments subseries. Files are arranged alphabetically by the name of the job applicant, and may contain resumes, correspondence with the applicant and interested parties, and constituents expressing endorsement or opposition to the candidate or nominee. The inventory identifies the prospective employer in the form of a named government agency/department or private business, and the time span of the documents in each file. Requests for government positions (either state or federal) within Mississippi include the name of the community. The last five boxes possess documents not filed by an individual name, but by the position sought. This includes correspondence that discuss several individuals vying for the same job without endorsement of a specific applicant, as well as applicants for jobs with Eastland’s office or committees. Senator Eastland formally held patronage appointments to the U.S. Capitol Police. Although the files indicate that he on rare occasions influenced the selection of constituent’s children as congressional pages, he typically replied to such requests that he did not possess that particular appointment patronage. Between 1836 and 1969, the president appointed local postmasters nominated by that state and district’s U.S. Representative (if he or she belonged to the same political party) or a state committee composed of the president’s supporters. Even after civil service tests became a part of the process, an applicant would still seek the support of their senators who could essentially “veto” an appointment by delaying Senate confirmation indefinitely. Post office patronage files often contain significant discussions of a political nature that extend beyond the applicant’s party involvement. At times, a significant percentage of a community would write letters endorsing one or another competing job seeker, and a number of these letters provide quite lengthy commentary. For researchers interested in a particular community, post office patronage files can be a rich source of local history and the state’s political network. In addition to postal positions, Eastland appeared to have considerable influence with regards to state and local Farmers Home Administration jobs and made U.S. Marshal appointments within Mississippi. A few large items are stored separately in Eastland Oversized Box 1, Folder 6. A removal sheet included among the regular sized files will cross-reference information on separated material.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus MCDONALD ET AL. v. CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 08–1521. Argued March 2, 2010—Decided June 28, 2010 Two years ago, in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. ___, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense and struck down a Dis- trict of Columbia law that banned the possession of handguns in the home. Chicago (hereinafter City) and the village of Oak Park, a Chi- cago suburb, have laws effectively banning handgun possession by almost all private citizens. After Heller, petitioners filed this federal suit against the City, which was consolidated with two related ac- tions, alleging that the City’s handgun ban has left them vulnerable to criminals. They sought a declaration that the ban and several re- lated City ordinances violate the Second and Fourteenth Amend- ments. Rejecting petitioners’ argument that the ordinances are un- constitutional, the court noted that the Seventh Circuit previously had upheld the constitutionality of a handgun ban, that Heller had explicitly refrained from opining on whether the Second Amendment applied to the States, and that the court had a duty to follow estab- lished Circuit precedent.

Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

    New Orleans, Louisiana Philanthropy: Yes

    Name in English: Harry Lee Name in Chinese: 朱家祥 Name in Pinyin: Zhū Jiaxiáng Gender: Male Birth Year: 1932-2007 Birth Place: New Orleans, Louisiana Philanthropy: Yes Profession: Sheriff, Federal Judge, Attorney, Air Force Officer Education: B.S., Geology, 1956, Louisiana State University; J.D., 1967, Loyola University Law School Awards: 1983, AMVETS Silver Helmet Americanism Award; 1998, National Conference of Community and Justice’s first annual Founder’s Award; 1998, Award from the Foundation for Improvement of Justice; 2000, Honorary Doctor of Law, University of New Haven; 2001, Louisiana Political Hall of Fame (one of only four sheriffs ever inducted) Contributions: Harry Lee was born on August 27, 1932, in the back of his family’s laundry business in New Orleans, Louisiana. Like many children of working-class Chinese immigrants born during the Great Depression, he and his eight siblings worked in the family-owned laundry and restaurant while attending school. One of his younger sisters, Margaret, in 1964, became Playboy’s first Asian-American Playmate and centerfold (under the name China Lee). Hailing from a state where Asians comprise only 1.4% of the population, Harry Lee would become one of Louisiana’s most beloved politicians and its most outspoken and controversial law-enforcement official. Lee’s love of politics began at age 12, when, despite his minority status, he would be elected to one student office after another by defeating white classmates. After graduating from Louisiana State University and serving in the U.S. Air Force, Lee returned to Louisiana in 1959 to pursue a career in politics.
