NEW YORK. — New York. - IN JANUARY 1928, they electrocuted Ruth Snyder, the first woman sent to the chair in New York. Most of Manhattan's newspapers ran columns of purple prose about it. Page 1 of the Daily News told the story in one word and one picture.

The word, in huge type, was DEAD! The blurred picture below it was of Snyder at the instant the shock hit her -- taken by photographer Tom Howard with a hidden camera strapped to his ankle.

That may have been the News' most famous front page, at least until the one in 1975 when the president refused to bail the city out of its financial crunch. The headline that day was was FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD.

The word ''dead'' has figured often in the 71-year-history of the News; the paper has specialized in crime reporting, and printed the best. But for the past week, since a long-feared strike began, some of its own employees have become actors instead of narrators in a running crime story.

Starting with the first editions after the strike began, competing papers have covered it as if the News itself were on its death bed, as it may be. There are three tabloids in New York, and the common wisdom is that not more than two can survive. If the strike and management's determination to break the unions does kill the News, one of those rivals might have the bad taste to run its own gleeful headline proclaiming the News DEAD!

That would be the Post, once stodgily liberal, now wackily conservative, catering to readers downscale from the News' hard-core blue-collar fans. The other, more upscale, is New York Newsday, the Manhattan sister of Long Island's Newsday (owned by Times-Mirror, which also owns the Baltimore Sun).

America's streets are in terrible shape. And I'm not talking about potholes, busted curbs or blinky street lights.

No, the problem is that so many of our streets are really mean. This meanness is sweeping the country and spreading to foreign lands.

I made this discovery recently after hearing a TV war correspondent refer to snipers shooting people on "the mean streets of Sarajevo."

It seemed to me that I had read or heard the phrase "mean streets" before.

Using a computer service, I searched for the words "mean streets" in dozens of newspapers.

The search covered only the first five months of this year. But the results were frightening. Here are just a few of the mean streets that were found.

On August 3rd of 1944 at the Tuskegee Army Air Field

Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site

https://www.facebook.com/TuskegeeAirmenNHS?fref=photo

On August 3rd of 1944 a group of twelve African American officers led by Captain Willard B. Ransom entered the west dining room of the Tuskegee Army Air Field (TAAF) Post Exchange restaurant. This restaurant had been reserved for white officers only. Capt. Ransom and the other officers sat down and asked to be served. When 2nd Lt. George D Frye the Assistant Exchange Officer, asked the black officers to go to the larger east dining room which was reserved for them, Captain Ransom showed Frye two War Department letters that noted service at base recreational facilities and post exchanges would not be denied to any personnel because of race.

With Col. Noel Parrish’s support, Lt. Frye agreed to let the black officers be served in the west dining room, effectively integrating the restaurant without violence. Unfortunately many white officers stopped eating at the facility. Also the elimination (wash out) rate for black cadets increased. Some white officers asked for transfers, however within two months, TAAF received its first black flight instructors. Col. Parrish assured the white leadership of nearby towns that integration of the base facilities would not affect areas outside the base.

Before WWII Capt. Ransom was a 1932 graduate of Crispus Attucks High School and he also graduated summa cum laude from Talladega College in 1936. Three years later he received his law degree from Harvard University and was admitted to the bar. In 1941, only two months into a four-year term as assistant attorney general, he was inducted into the service. After serving overseas in the Army, he returned to Indianapolis only to encounter prejudice at home.

As a result of this experience, Ransom reorganized the state chapter of the NAACP, encouraging people across the state to take direct action for civil rights. Ransom is credited with organizing local protests in Indianapolis in the late 1950s, before many of the sit-ins and marches in the South.

From 1947 to 1954, Ransom was the assistant manager of Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. During this time, he ran a private practice and played a major role in passing all significant civil rights legislation in Indiana. In addition to serving five terms as chairman of the state NAACP, he was legal counsel to many African Americans in the Indianapolis fire and police departments, he was also the director of the National City Bank of Indiana, and a board member of the Madame C. J. Walker Urban Life Center.

In 1970, he co-founded the Indiana Black Expo. He was also founding member of the Concerned Ministers of Indianapolis. Ransom also received the organization’s Thurgood Marshall Award in 1993 for his dedicated work in the civil rights movement.

Ransom died in Indianapolis on November 7, 1995, at the age of 79.

History is all connected.

The Relentless Fight

Indicative THEN Imperative

"In English grammar, the INDICATIVE is a statement of being. "The car is red." The IMPERATIVE is a statement of command, "Paint the car red." And the distinction between these two grammar concepts is one of the most glorious and empowering truths of Christianity, and it stands in contrast to culture & religion."

From the Vault: The Cross is for Failures

Are you a good person? If yes, then everything is peachy. But if no, what's your hope? All the other major world religions have bad news for you if you're a bad person. But that's where the gospel shines most brightly!!

From the Vault: Don't Conceal... Confess and Forsake

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. (Proverbs 28:13 ESV) So simple. Only 17 words in English. And yet here we have a weight of truth; here we have freedom held out. These words are priceless.
