March on Washington and “I Have a Dream,” speech, August 28, 1963
Fifty years ago a delegation of 58 Minnesotans attended the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Cecil Newman (above), a pioneer in African-American journalism, founded the Minneapolis Spokesman and the St. Paul Recorder. Newman also attended the March on Washington where Martin Luther King, Jr. made his “I Have a Dream” speech.
Here is the full list of Minnesotans that went on the march:
Rev. Webster Branett, Jesse Bell, Margaret Benton, William Budd, Joe E. Byrne, Rev. Denzil Carty, Lois Doty, Christopher Durand, Max E. Fallek, Rev. Mark Fallonsbee, Zetta Feder, Father Edward Grzeskowiak, S.F. Hammond, June Hanson, William Heryla, Eugene Hill, Rev. Lewis Holm, Harry Ballard, Dorothy Huseby, Josie Johnson, Mary Ann Jones, Rev. Stanley, Mary J. Kyle, Rev. George Lemoine, Rabbi Jerome Lipnick, Robert Lippert, Matthew Little, Jim Lugar, Rev. Richard Mathison, Paul Muller, Cecil Newman, Rev. Jerome Nissen, Mr. and Mrs. Marty Nordstrom, Rev. Andrew Otani, Dorothy Parker, Hertha Pflanze, Connie Price, Mrs. Ralph Primm, James Rice, Sam Richardson, Shirley Ricketts, Rev. Roland Robinson, Rabbi Moses B. Sachs, Robert Samples, Floyd Scott, Chester Simmons, O. Donald Smith, Rev. T.R. Taylor, Dr. D.B. Terrell, James Thomas, Rev. Peter Thompsen, Rev. Kneely Williams, Olive E. Willis, Marjorie Wynn, Robert Wynn.
The occupations of some of the group was as follows: 18 clergyman (13 Protestant, 3 Catholic, 2 Rabbis) 10 housewives, a doctor, 2 unemployed persons and 4 press representatives. We found this information in an August 22, 1963 Minneapolis Tribune article in the Special Collection Civil Rights vertical file.
Sorry I've been AWOL! Lots of things happening. But shine on, friends - Monday is sooooon! And this weekend will be positively wintry after this week.
The long range forecast, courtesy of Paul Douglas. 76 on September 4, 79 on September 5, and OH BASKET OF KITTENS, a high of 66 on Saturday, September 7.
Oh god, for real? I'm having trouble sleeping because of a cold, and even with AC it's kinda toasty in here. So naturally, I'm wearing cat pants to sleep. WTF guys? Ugh, and as I type this Lucille just rotated slightly so I could better re-acquaint myself with her anus. Speaking of, highs in the upper 90s most of the week, lows that aren't actually not even a little. Stay cool, stay hydrated, stay safe.
If you can't stand the heat... So, our late summer is finally here. Temps in the 90s stretch out through the whole 10-day forecats. Many nights, lows will remain in the high 70s. Dew points will suck, the heat index will suck, and the heat will reach dangerous levels. Stay hydrated, find a cool place, and don't do anything stupid like leaving a pet outside or in a car or anything like that. Wow. So, yeah. Chance of storms today and tonight, and also Monday. If you're strange enough to want to be outside.
Woo! We enjoyed some playtime last night with the windows open for the first time since...we closed them? From Tuesday night through yesterday the weather was pretty great, and today won't be that bad either. Sun, high of 87 and low of 69. Tomorrow will be 87 again with a 40% chance of storms, then the 90s come back to town, uh, through next Friday. So yeah. Enjoy the weekend.
If 80 with a dew point of 69 at 9am is fair, then that witch in Snow White didn't exactly have stiff competition, yeah? Temps are gonna get up to Goddamn today, and we'll have a low of Oh For Real?
Apparently a quick storm might blow through around 4, also, Annyong!
Annyong will do anything for a glimpse at the traffic. I'm always afraid she'll get something caught in the fan - not unlike my fear of ceiling fans falling on me while I sleep. Enjoy tonight, for it will be the last nice stretch we have in a while. Near, at, and above 90 all week long. And oh, the humidity! Sticky: Dew Point's Revenge will be showing this week at all the metro area theaters. Tomorrow, a high of 89 and a low of 71. I'm wondering how long I can hold out before I turn on the air.
We had a late night. I have an IKEA bed with under the bed drawers. I love it. So handy! But I was changing the sheets last night and Annyong crawled into a drawer and over the back of the drawer and under the bed between the four drawers. I went to look for her because I couldn't see her, and when I figured it out Lucille had somehow wandered in their too. Annyong is smart and agile and wily. Lucille is plump, half-blind, and endearingly dim. To get Lucille out of there would have required pulling off my mattress and removing a set of slats, or moving bedroom furniture to get a drawer out. Annyong reappeared on the bed apparently pleased with herself for coaxing Lucille to the underworld. She tried to care at one point, half-heartedly peering into the drawer. Finally, I resorted to the thing that cat owners do when they're blind, food-motivated cats get stuck: wet food. After I cracked the can Lucille still couldn't figure out that she had to go over the drawer, under the edge of the bed, and climb out. Then the food made her start to panic. Because she fucking loves food. When she was mostly in the drawer I was able to slide her out, and then they got a midnight snack. Assholes. Another great day! Sun, fun, low 80s, overnight low of 62.
Good morning America, how are you?
Another fine morning in the world of Forecats, waking up to a very chilly 61 degrees. My fan did a much better job than usual of sucking cool air into my bedroom, and I think it really was 61 degrees in there. Brrr! I only have a blanket on there right now, and it was chilly.
High of 81 today, and sun sun sun until Daddy takes the kittens away. Low of 61 again.
Mid-80s in the weekend, then near 90 Monday through Wednesday. Higher lows, higher dew points, so a bit uncomfortable for a spell perhaps.
Also I recently discovered rabbit flopping, and it is in fact exactly what Lucille does to me every morning, beginning about an hour before my alarm should wake me up:
Multiple times. With my face on the broadside of the flop. I feed them, and she comes back rejuvenated after a quick snack and goes at it again. And again. And again. The looping of the gif really does it justice.
Obnoxious, but strangely endearing.
Also, though neither cat does this, rabbits also do this thing calling binkying which, despite how it sounds, is not a pervy euphemism:
And with that. Have the best of Fridays.
Oh! And I forgot to tell you guys! That bottle in the previous photo is A.J. Stephans cream soda, which is pretty damned good. The Ace Hardware on Grand Avenue in St. Paul has a huge selection of fun sodas, including Mr. Cucumber (have not tried that one yet). Fantastic. I anticipate I will be there again often.
Yes, Annyong jumped over a pair of right-side up kitchen shears to win at Cat Tetris once again. Whooo, now that school started I'm finding it harder to make the time to post a Forecats, but I will still post a cats and weather daily. More sunshine and nice temps today in the mid to high 70s, and another cool night. Higher temperatures roll in at the weekend, for those of you who actually dig that sort of thing. Highs bump up against 90 on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a 30% chance of storms Wednesday as well.
Wow, gooood morning Minneapolis! I've only been up for 90 minutes but I can tell it's gonna be a fantastic day! We're looking at sunny skies and a high of 78. Hot diggity, I love August!! Let's just christen today Exclamations Wednesday.
Morning! We woke up to a pleasant 63 degrees, and we'll scoot up to about 80. Low of 58. Sun, sun, sun in the forecast through the 10-day, with a 30% chance of storms Saturday. Temps still slated to get up to the mid 80s for a stretch at the end of this week into next week.
