At around 4 or 5 p.m., I leave for home. If I must stay late for a parents' meeting, students escort me home on their bikes. I may spend my evenings going for a run, buying fruit from a Salvadoran vendor who greets me in Spanish, stopping for water and Creole bread from the shop around the corner, or getting the latest news from my neighbor who waylays me at my gate to tell me the latest gossip. After cooking and eating my dinner, I may read, write letters, or visit with friends. ... [Read More]

FMCSA - State Hazardous Materials Compliance Effectiveness Study - Final Document - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
In Illinois, roadside inspections and escorts are required for all high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, and transuranic waste shipments. The Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety (IDNS) is the lead agency for the program. As soon as the IDNS learns about a shipment, they notify the ISP. At the border, the shipment is inspected by IDNS and ISP inspectors with the IDNS inspectors focusing on the radioactive aspects. The ISP also provides a patrol car to escort the shipment through the state. The IDNS has four people who inspect and escort radioactive shipments as part of their job responsibilities. Although the number of these shipments has been small, about ten per year, numbers are expected to increase dramatically when more shipments begin to move to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico. ...

We Shall Overcome -- F.W. Woolworth Building
In late 1949, a group of Anacostia neighborhood parents, the Consolidated Parents Group, joined with James Nabrit, Howard University professor of law, secretary of the University, and future president of the University to legally challenge the separate but equal doctrine. They petitioned the school board to use Sousa Junior High School on an integrated basis, as it could adequately offer Anacostia pupils a full Junior High program without additional cost for repairs or construction and serve all of the children and not be overcrowded. On September 11, 1950, in a carefully planned maneuver, the head of the Consolidated Parents' Group, along with student Spottswood Bolling and 11 other black school children, presented themselves at the brand new Sousa School for admission "with a police escort and a battery of lawyers."
