Members of the Carroll County chapter of the NAACP joined tens of thousands Saturday at the National Mall - at the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial - in Washington to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the August 28, 1963 March on Washington.

It was at that time in the early 1960s that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) made "I have a dream" the clarion-call of the civil rights movement at a political rally called the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”

History continues to reflect upon the importance of the march on Washington in 1963. One thing remains certain, it was a pivotal moment in American history that has contributed greatly to who we are as a nation today.

The Wilmington 10: North Carolina Urged to Pardon Civil Rights Activists...

Published on Dec 28, 2012

DemocracyNow.org - As the new year approaches, North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue is being urged to pardon a group of civil rights activists who were falsely convicted and imprisoned 40 years ago for the firebombing of a white-owned grocery store. Their conviction was overturned in 1980, but the state has never pardoned them. We're joined by one of "The Wilmington Ten," longtime civil rights activist Benjamin Chavis, who served eight years behind bars before later becoming head of the NAACP. We also speak to James Ferguson, a lead defense attorney for The Wilmington Ten; and to Cash Michaels, coordinator for The Wilmington Ten Pardons of Innocence Project and a reporter for the Wilmington Journal where he has been covering the activists' case.

Eagle Archive: 50 years later, King's letter reminds us of a journey too long

By Kevin E. Dayhoff, 8:53 p.m. EDT, April 21, 2013 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0421-20130417,0,4791772.story

On April 16, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. penned a 7,000-word letter from a jail cell in Birmingham, Ala. The letter came in response to a statement by eight white Alabama pastors on April 12, 1963, titled "A Call for Unity."

King had been arrested April 12 for demonstrating in defiance of an injunction issued against the Birmingham Campaign of marches and sit-ins, which had begun on April 3.

The white clergy members argued that the cause of civil rights was better contested in the courts than the streets of Birmingham.

King's response has become famous in the study of persuasive rhetoric in which, in part, he suggested that the "wait" requested by the white pastors — who argued that 1963 was not the time for King to pursue equal rights — really meant "never."

King also put forth that non-violent civil disobedience was an appropriate response to unjust laws, and that "one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

The letter was the origin of the now-famous argument that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," and quotes Chief Justice Earl Warren, "Justice too long delayed is justice denied."

His letter also referenced a few other notables, such as Paul of Tarsus, Reinhold Niebuhr, Socrates, Paul Tillich and Thomas Aquinas.

In addition to being a man of letters, King is, of course, he's best known for speaking — the most famous example being his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington on Aug. 28, 1963.

Closer to home, we should note that a setback to the cause of King and many of his era occurred on Nov. 14, 1963, at the lunchroom of Sykesville Mayor Bernard McDougall's drug store, where Jean S. Evans and Bailey Conaway were refused service… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0421-20130417,0,4791772.story

NAACP Pardon Wilmington 10

NAACP: Pardon Wilmington 10

http://www.naacp.org/news/entry/pardon-the-wilmington-ten

The NAACP has launched a campaign to pardon the Wilmington Ten. Forty years ago, ten young activists were falsely accused and framed for crimes they did not commit. And though they all went on to become leaders in their community—their names were never cleared. Add your name to this petition asking North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue to pardon the Wilmington Ten.

The Wilmington Ten included Rev. Benjamin Chavis—who later went on to become the leader of the NAACP and eight African-American male high school students, and an older white women activist. They each spent four to six years incarcerated for a crime they did not commit.

The state of North Carolina has let forty years pass without clearing the names of the Wilmington Ten—it is high time for justice to be served. Sign your name to the NAACP petition asking for Governor Perdue to pardon the Wilmington Ten and clear their names once and for all.

English as the official language proposed in Carroll County MD

“English Only” Up in Carroll County by Kevin E. Dayhoff October 24, 2012

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414

In Carroll County, a hearing is scheduled in New Windsor on October 30 to gather public input on a proposed ordinance, similar to the one passed by Frederick County officials in February to designate English as the official language of the county.

In Frederick County, the proposal passed by a vote of 4-1 and, according to the Associated Press, “requires official actions of Frederick County to be taken only in English.”

Of course, nevermind that federal and state laws mandate that various government agencies offer assistance to non-English speakers.

If a predominant number of the members of the Frederick and Carroll County Boards of Commissioners were from the Democrat Party, Republicans would be screaming bloody-murder about such legislation being a waste of taxpayers’ time and money… Oh, well, nevermind, moving right along here…

Although the idea for such an ordinance in Carroll County has been discussed since last winter, or earlier, the proposal was introduced by the Board of Commissioners September 27.

The entire kerfuffle over “English only” piqued my curiosity since our area of the state has only spoken English for approximately 25 percent of our history… In our modern history, anecdotal accounts indicate that German was the predominant language in Carroll up to around the time of the Civil War, especially in the northern and western portions of the county.

My thoughts were immediately channeled into a column I wrote October 20 in The Baltimore Sun, “Strictly speaking, Carroll's predominant language was once German.”

“In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County, a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.”

Much of the opposition to forming a new county came from the predominant German population in Taneytown, Manchester and Hampstead. “Some of those folks were not really sure they wanted to form a new county – especially with a minority that spoke English and owned slaves, and well, perhaps were not as well educated or cultured as the German population.

“There was a great deal of concern that the English speakers would never learn German – and thus would exploit the generosity of the German majority. Paying extra taxes to support the English speakers was also of great concern…

Ultimately, the October 1833 referendum was defeated.” … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414

Hearing on Carroll County's English language bill set for Oct. 30

The Board of County Commissioners will hold its public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 30, regarding the proposal to designate English as the official language of Carroll County.

The hearing will be held at 7 p.m. at the New Windsor Community Building, Community Meeting Room, 1100 Green Valley Road, New Windsor.

This ordinance, if passed, would recognize English as the language in which all official county business will be conducted.

The ordinance, as proposed, can be read HERE

In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County, a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.

A bill authorizing the vote passed the General Assembly on March 2, 1833, according to "Carroll County Maryland, A History 1837-1976," by Nancy Warner, and "Advocates of the new county sprang into action" to help promote the vote.

They formed committees to write pamphlets containing arguments advocating a vote in favor of a new county. Several of my ancestors, the Warfields were members of this committee.

Some of the pamphlets were even printed in English — a special consideration, since the predominant language in Carroll County at the time was German.

Anecdotal accounts indicate that German was the predominant language in Carroll up to around the time of the Civil War, especially in the northern and western portions of the county… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1021-20121020,0,7714126.story

From my undisclosed location, LOL, I’d like to say, thanks so much for the feedback.

Ya know, I'll bet you may also like "Celebrate Eat More Chicken ‘Buy-cott’ Day” Kevin E. Dayhoff August 1, 2012 http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5261 It got national attention. …

Most young conservatives do not give a rat’s behind about the “English only” or the gay marriage thing. Those who were born between 1981 and 1999, the Millennials, [http://www.reporternews.com/news/2012/oct/14/dale-mcfeatters-millennials-the-cheapest/?partner=RSS] are now living at home with their parents after being away for years at college.

They are facing unsustainably high education debt, with the economy in turmoil, high unemployment, a dismal economic future and diminished prospects for the American dream of owning a home. The Millennials are collectively and totally bewildered by the prurient preoccupation of older Republicans in who people sleep with and what language they speak… in the face of an economic Armageddon…

Thanks again for reading the column and Explore Carroll.

As always, your thoughtful consideration is appreciated regardless of the outcome on any particular issue. Whether we agree or disagree, always find my door open for friendly civil and constructive dialogue.
