Reagan's Neshoba County Fair states' rights speech
Reagan in all his racist glory states right speech there the 3 civl rights workers were killed in 1964 by kkk and the cops -People like Georege wallace -lester maddox and ross barnet were for states rights aka keeping jim crow laws - . Neshoba County’s primary claim to fame when Reagan won the Republican Party’s nomination for president in 1980. The case was still a festering sore at that time. Some of the conspirators were still being protected by the local community. And white supremacy was still the order of the day.
That was the atmosphere and that was the place that Reagan chose as the first stop in his general election campaign. The campaign debuted at the Neshoba County Fair in front of a white and, at times, raucous crowd of perhaps 10,000, chanting: “We want Reagan! We want Reagan!”
Reagan was the first presidential candidate ever to appear at the fair, and he knew exactly what he was doing when he told that crowd, “I believe in states’ rights.”

In Memory of Georgia Louis- Walk With Me, Lord
Georgia M. Louis
6/20/1932 - 7/3/2014
The following was taken from the online obituary of Ms. Georiga Louis, which can be found at:
Georgia Louis was born on June 20, 1932 and passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 3, 2014. She was born to Samuel and Anna Branch of Delmopolous, Alabama and was preceded in death by her parents, 11 siblings and her only child, Joseph W. Louis.
She moved to Connecticut in the late 1950's and was quickly discovered while singing in a community choir called The
Wobelairs, founded by Carlo Martignoni. He had her sing at the Italian Festival in Stamford, Ct & all over the Tri- State area. While being the opening act for Louis Armstrong at Freedom Land in NYC, Mr. Armstrong came up to her after a show and said, I've been all over the world, worked with countless singers and musicians, but you touch a part of my soul that no
one has been able to reach. I would like you to be my Musical
God-Child. And with that, he gave her his trumpet mouthpiece to seal the deal. They became very close friends. Whenever they were in town together they would hang out at his home with his family or meet at various places with Mrs. Armstrong. Shortly thereafter, Ms. Louis was asked to host a new television show called, TV Gospel Time. She became not only the first black woman, but the first woman period, to host a nationally syndicated television show. It aired out of NYC from WOR TV
Channel 9 in the mid 1960's. The Rev James Cleveland had his first television appearance on that program and featured acts from all over the country. A young singer named Aretha Franklin, traveling with her father Rev. Franklin, was Miss Georgia's opening act on many occasions.
She travelled extensively through the United States, Canada and Europe, singing Gospel and Spiritual music. She recorded six singles and the most popular was Walk With Me Lord. The song Walk Softly Children was very popular in Isreal. Her brother, Dupree, was stationed in Vietnam and had the troops wake up to Walk With Me Lord every day. Ms. Louis
performed with such great artists as Dinah Washington, The Staple Singers, Shirley Ceasar, The Caravans and Mahalia Jackson (who Ms. Louis beat out in 1963 for Top Female Vocalist of the Year by the AME Zion Church... of course she said it was just a gimme cause who could do that?!!?). She had triumphant performances at the New York World's Fair, Lincoln Center, The Tonight Show, the Ed Sullivan Show, the State
Theater in Philadelphia (...she saved someones life on the way to the theater. She got blood all over her gown and had to run back to the hotel to get another one.). She shared the bill at the Apollo Theater with James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Brooke Benton, The Jackson Five, Dinah Washington, among others. A young
Whitney Houston opened for her as well. Among her busy travel schedule, she worked as a nurses aid in both Stamford and Greenwich Hospitals. She was accompanied by her musical director and dear friend Dr. William H. Collins, Jr. of NYC, Musical Director of Mt Hermon Baptist Church, Bronx, NY.
She is survived by many nieces and nephews and her long time
friend, Mr. Pierre Guertin....

Dusty Vision TV The Crips are a gang based in the coastal regions of southern California. They were founded in Los Angeles, California in 1969 mainly by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. Once a single alliance between two autonomous gangs, they are now a loosely connected network of individual sets, often engaged in open warfare with one another. Its members traditionally wear blue clothing, a practice that has waned somewhat due to police crackdowns specifically targeting gang members. Historically, members have been primarily of African-American heritage.
The Crips are one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States.[1] With an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 members in 2008,[2] they have been involved in murders, robberies and drug dealing, among other crimes.
The Crips have a long and bitter rivalry with the Bloods. The Bloods, also known as Original Blood Family (OBF), are a primarily African-American street gang founded in Los Angeles, California. The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Crips. They are identified by the red color worn by their members and by particular gang symbols, including distinctive hand signs.
The Bloods comprise various sub-groups known as sets between which significant differences exist such as colors, clothing, operations, and political ideas which may be in open conflict with each other. Since their creation, the Bloods gangs have branched throughout the United States. In 1969, the Pirus were created by teenagers from neighborhoods and young black men. The Pirus were a gang in Compton which spread. In 1969 with the Crip alliance made by smaller gangs, the Pirus also joined, making a large set of the Crips. At that time, there were various sets throughout the region of Los Angeles, California. However, these sets were small groups of hustlers. In 1969, fifteen-year-old Raymond Washington started the Crips street gang with friends from his neighborhood on the East Side of South Central Los Angeles. The Crips began to attack hustler groups and cliques in order to create a larger organization.[1]
The Pirus soon joined with the Brims gang, a victim of the Crips attacks, and together in jail they created the Bloods, starting off at first as a way to address one another. Following this, new inmates entering the LA County Jail were asked by intake/deputies, Who do you run with, the Crips or the Bloods?[citation needed] Those who were victimized by the Crips joined the Pirus and Brims and ran with the Blood identity, which is how the Blood gang was formed. The Bloods started in jail in LA County in 1974, and the Pirus and Brims both formed on the streets in 1972. A gang is a group of associates, friends or members of a family with a defined leadership and internal organization that identifies with or claims control over territory in a community and engages, either individually or collectively, in illegal, and possibly violent, behavior. Gangs arose in America by the middle of the nineteenth century and were a concern for city leaders from the time they appeared.[1] Some members of criminal gangs are jumped in (by going through a process of initiation), or have to prove their loyalty and right to belong by committing certain acts, usually theft or violence. A member of a gang may be called a gangster, or, less specifically, a thug.
A number of gangs have gained notoriety in the course of history, including the Italian Mafia, the Greek mafia, the Bosnian mafia, the Russian mafia, the French mafia, the Armenian mafia, the Macedonian mafia, the Irish mob, the Jewish mob, the Triads and crime syndicates in East Asia, the Jamaican Shower Posse and Yardies, the African-American Supreme Team, Bloods, Crips, Gangster Disciples, Black Disciples, Vice Lords, Black P Stones and Four Corner Hustlers, Latino gangs such as the Latin Kings, MS-13, Norteños, Sureños, and Trinitarios, white supremacist gangs such as the Aryan Brotherhood, Aryan Nations and biker gangs like Hells Angels and Comanchero. In discussing the banditry in American history Barrington Moore, Jr. suggests that gangsterism as a form of self-help which victimizes others may appear in societies which lack strong forces of law and order; he characterizes European feudalism as mainly gangsterism that had become society itself and acquired respectability through the notions of chivalry.[7]
A wide variety of gangs, such as the Order of Assassins, the Damned Crew, Adam the Leper's gang, Penny Mobs, Indian Thugs, Chinese Triads, Snakehead, Japanese Yakuza, Irish mob, Pancho Villa's Villistas, Dead Rabbits, American Old West outlaw gangs, Bowery Boys, Chasers, the Italian Mafia, Jewish mafia, and Russian mafia crime families have existed for centuries.
america media reaction on cricket!foreign media on india!
Cricket was played by British colonists in North America by the start of the 18th century.Archived references to cricket played in America date from 1709. A New York newspaper from 1739 contains an advertisement for cricket players and the first documented competition occurred in 1751 in Manhattan.According to William Byrd II's diary, cricket was played on the slave plantations of Virginia, including on his Westover estate among neighbors and slaves.By 1793, Dartmouth College students were playing cricket on the Green.
Philadelphia was the crucible of North American cricket and remains so today.[5] Haverford College formed a cricket team in 1833, generally accepted as the first cricket club exclusively for Americans.[6] Haverford and the University of Pennsylvania formed a strong rivalry, with the first match played in 1864, believed to be the third-oldest intercollegiate sporting contest in America, after the 1852 Harvard-Yale crew and 1859 Amherst-Williams baseball matches. An Intercollegiate Cricket Association existed from 1881–1924.
The eleven-person team cricket familiar with Americans today took root most effectively at the St. George's Cricket Club, founded in 1838. Clubs from the United States (St. George's CC) and Canada participated in one of the first international cricket matches on record in 1844 in Bloomingdale Park in Manhattan. Cricket received a significant amount of media coverage at the time. In the mid-19th century, the sport was played in approximately 125 cities in 22 states. Roughly 500 officially established clubs existed and it is probable that in 1860 there were 10,000 boys and men in America who had actively played the sport for at least a season.
St. George's CC employed Sheffield native Samuel Wright as its professional cricket playing groundsman. Wright's two sons, Harry and George, played for the United States XXII against the All England XI in 1859 in New York and Philadelphia. Both Wright brothers became renowned in baseball circles after they played for the Cincinnati Red Stockings, America's first professional baseball team. English cricket teams toured American regularly. Richard Daft's England side visited in 1869, when they played in New York and Philadelphia. Then with the spread of cricket to Boston, Lord Hawke's England XI played George Wright's New England Cricket XI at the Longwood Country Club in Boston. On the same tour in 1891 Lord Hawke's XI defeated a Germantown CC XI in Philadelphia, which included George Patterson, regarded as America's best batsman, with several centuries to his credit. George Patterson — referred to as America's W.G. Grace — was an American-born cricketer and lawyer by profession, described as brilliant under pressure when facing first-class English sides.
In 2004 Pro Cricket was organized as a professional Twenty20 format league with eight teams in two divisions. However, the league closed at the end of its first season in 2004. The Pro Cricket league was independent of the USACA and not recognized or sanctioned by it. Among post-secondary institutions, in recent years Haverford College is one of the few to field a cricket team at the varsity level.

American History - Part 070 - Polk - Leaves office - Slavery issues arise
Welcome to the MAKING OF A NATION -- American history in VOA Special English.
In 1848, while James Polk was president, there was a great constitutional debate in the United States. It arose over slavery in the new territories. Southerners argued that they had the right to take slaves into New Mexico and California. Northerners opposed any further spread of slavery. The question was did Congress have the power to control or even ban slavery in the new territories?
Senator John Clayton of Delaware proposed to the Senate that it name a special committee on the question of slavery in the new territories. Both parties -- the Whigs and the Democrats -- had the same number of senators on the committee. Senator Clayton was its chairman.
South and North were equally represented. After six days, Clayton's committee agreed on a compromise bill. It proposed that Oregon be organized as free territory. Slavery there would be illegal.
And on California and New Mexico, the bill proposed they could be organized as territories. But their territorial legislatures would not have the power to act on the issue of slavery. All questions on slavery in these two territories must be decided by the United States Supreme Court.
After long debate, Congress finally approved territorial government for Oregon. And it voted that Oregon should be free territory, with slavery illegal.
The vote on the Oregon bill was very close. It passed in the Senate only because 2 men from slave states voted for it. They were Senator Thomas Benton of Missouri and Senator Sam Houston of Texas.
Senator John C. Calhoun said it was a bad defeat for the South. But what was worse was the fact that it was caused by the votes of 2 southern senators.
Polk, however, had not served his party well. He was not a good politician. He failed to unite the disputing groups of the Democratic Party. What was worse, he let them move even farther apart.
There seemed to be no strong Democratic candidate who could unite the party. At one extreme were the supporters of former President Van Buren -- New York Democrats opposed to slavery. They were called Barnburners. They got this name from their political opponents, who charged that they were willing to burn down the barn to get rid of pro-slavery rats.
At the party's other extreme were the Democrats of the South, led by John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. In every state, the Democrats were divided between those who supported the administration and those opposed to it.
The Democrats met in Baltimore in May 1848 to choose their presidential candidate. Several men were proposed as possi Polk's Treasury Secretary Robert Walker of Mississippi; John Dix of New York; and Senator Lewis Cass of Michigan.
On the 4th, the convention chose Cass as the party's presidential candidate. Cass was 66 years old. He was a middle-of-the-road Democrat. He was a northerner who did not oppose slavery.
On the question of slavery in the new territories, Cass believed that the people of the territory should make the decision. The Barnburner Democrats of New York refused to accept Cass as their candidate. They walked out of the Baltimore convention.
Some Whig leaders remembered how William Henry Harrison had won the presidency for the party by campaigning as a military hero. The country had a new military hero now. Old Zach -- General Zachary Taylor. General Taylor and his men never lost a battle in the Mexican War. Several times, he defeated Mexican forces much larger than his.
After the general's first victory, New York political leader Thurlow Weed happened to meet Taylor's brother on a Hudson River steamboat. That meeting had a most important effect on future events.
Weed asked Joseph Taylor if his brother was a political man. Joseph answered that Old Zach was not. He said his brother belonged to no party, that often he did not even vote. He said Zach supported Henry Clay and did not like Andrew Jackson.
Joseph said his brother felt strongly that American products should be protected against competition from foreign imports. He felt so strongly about it, Joseph said, that he refused to wear any imported clothing. Weed made a quick decision. Your brother, he said, will be our next president.
By July of 1847, Old Zach had made up his mind. He told a I am satisfied that if the election were held now, nothing could prevent me from becoming president. Senator Clay did not think Taylor had the ability to be president. But Clay knew well how the voters loved a military hero. Senator Clay was 70 years old. He knew this would be his last chance to become president. He worked very hard to get the support of Whig leaders.
The Whig Party held its convention in Philadelphia in June of 1848. Four names were put before the co General Zachary Taylor, Henry Clay, General Winfield Scott and Daniel Webster. That will be our story next week.
