Mailbox ** Bit of History John Alexander Sommerville (1882-1972) Born in Jamaica on December 1, 1882, John Alexander Sommerville immigrated to the United States in search of a new life. He initially settled in San Francisco, California, where he came face-to-face with the racist realities of US life. Sommerville moved to Los Angeles. For two years, he worked in a bowling alley and saved enough money to attend the USC School of Dentistry. Sommerville's white classmates threatened to boycott classes, if he was not removed. Apparently, the white students opposed his presence and objected to him being treated as their equal. Like Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a public bus to a white man, he refused to be removed. Five years after arriving in the US, Sommerville became the first black person to graduate from the USC School of Dentistry. He graduated first in his class with the highest score recorded at the time. Sommerville opened his dentist office at 4th and Broadway in the heart of LA's black business district. He became the first black member of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. In 1912, Sommerville married Vada Watson, the first black female, second black person to graduate from the USC School of Dentistry. She also became the first black female certified to practice dentistry in the state of California. The Sommerville's worked tirelessly to achieve the good life for themselves under difficult circumstances, as discrimination was prevalent during this period in US history. While the couple prospered, many blacks in the City of Los Angeles were less fortunate. They founded the LA Chapter of the NAACP. Socioeconomic and political restrictions placed on blacks became more pervasive with an influx of people from other states, especially whites and blacks from the south. Jim Crow laws placed public hotels off limits to blacks. To satisfy the growing black demand for housing, Sommerville built La Vada, a 26-unit apartment building. He later built Hotel Sommerville. Like so many businessmen, Sommerville suffered a financial setback during the 1929 stock market crash. Although forced to sell his hotel, Sommerville did recover from his financial woes. Active in politics, he became the first black delegate to the California Democratic National Convention (1936). The first black appointed to the Los Angeles Police Commission (1949), Sommerville was declared an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his contributions to Anglo-American relations (1954). Vada Sommerville died in 1972. Months later, John Sommerville died at the age of 91. (Source: www.aaregistry.com) Hood Notes Grandma Died, Police Lied On November 21, 2006, undercover narcotics officers, armed with a ‘no-knock' warrant signed by Fulton County Magistrate Kimberly Warden, burst into the home of 88-year old Kathryn Johnston. Early reporting indicated the elderly woman fired on the officers. During the melee, she reportedly wounded three, none seriously. Johnston, shot twice in the chest, was pronounced dead at the scene. According to a police informant, investigators involved in the botched raid asked him to lie and go along with the story they fabricated after the shooting incident. The informant has been placed in protective custody. Atlanta Police Chief Richard J. Pennington has promised a thorough investigation. He has asked the U.S. attorney's office, the FBI, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Fulton County district attorney's office to assist in uncovering the truth. Until the investigation is concluded, the narcotics team has been placed on administrative leave with pay.

That's where my confusion comes in. Note many quotes from really old stuff like Burns and Allen, the Alka-Seltzer commerical (70s), the Smothers Brothers and others. They cover the time periods that go back much farther than one could expect someone in that age range to remember. And if they did, then again, how'd they skip Laugh-In, which is from the same time as the Smothers and was one of the cultural pulsebeat shows of the day?

[scifinoir2] Massive terror screening draws outrage
interesting... Massive terror screening draws outrage By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 9 minutes ago A leader of the new Democratic Congress, business travelers and privacy advocates expressed outrage Friday over the unannounced assignment of terrorism risk assessments to American international travelers by a computerized system managed from an unmarked, two-story brick building in Northern Virginia. Incoming Senate Judiciary Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy (news, bio, voting record) of Vermont pledged greater scrutiny of such government database-mining projects after reading that during the past four years millions of Americans have been evaluated without their knowledge to assess the risks that they are terrorists or criminals. Data banks like this are overdue for oversight, said Leahy, who will take over Judiciary in January. That is going to change in the new Congress. The Associated Press reported Thursday that Americans and foreigners crossing U.S. borders since 2002 have been assessed by the Homeland Security Department's computerized Automated Targeting System, or ATS. The travelers are not allowed to see or directly challenge these risk assessments, which the government intends to keep on file for 40 years. Some or all data in the system can be shared with state, local and foreign governments for use in hiring, contracting and licensing decisions. Courts and even some private contractors can obtain some of the data under certain circumstances. It is simply incredible that the Bush administration is willing to share this sensitive information with foreign governments and even private employers, while refusing to allow U.S. citizens to see or challenge their own terror scores, Leahy said. This system highlights the danger of government use of technology to conduct widespread surveillance of our daily lives without proper safeguards for privacy. The concerns spread beyond Congress. I have never seen anything as egregious as this, said Kevin Mitchell, president of the Business Travel Coalition, which advocates for business travelers. It's evidence of what can happen when there isn't proper oversight and accountability. By late Friday, the government had received 22 written public comments about its after-the-fact disclosure of the program last month in the Federal Register, a fine-print compendium of federal rules. All either opposed it outright or objected to the lack of a direct means for people to correct any errors in the database about themselves. As a U.S. citizen who spends much time outside the U.S., I can understand the need for good security, wrote one who identified himself as Colin Edmunds. However, just as I would not participate in a banking/credit card system where I have no recourse to correct or even view my personal data, I cannot accept the same of my government. Privacy advocates also were alarmed. Never before in American history has our government gotten into the business of creating mass `risk assessment' ratings of its own citizens, said Barry Steinhardt, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. We are stunned the program has been undertaken with virtually no opportunity for the public to evaluate or comment on it. The Homeland Security Department says the nation's ability to spot criminals and other security threats would be critically impaired without access to this data. And on Friday as the normal daily flow of a million or more people entered the United States by air, sea and land, the ATS program's computers continued their silent scrutiny. At that Virginia building with no sign, the managers of the National Targeting Center allowed an Associated Press photographer to briefly roam their work space. But he couldn't reveal the building's exact location. None of the dozens of workers under the bright fluorescent lights could be named. Some could not be photographed. The only clue he might have entered a government building was a montage of photos in the reception area of President Bush's visit to the center. But there was only one guard and a sign-in book. Inside, red digital clocks on the walls showed the time in Istanbul, Baghdad, Islamabad, Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney. Although billboard-size video screens on the walls showed multiple cable news shows, there was little noise in the basketball-court-sized main workroom. Each desk had dual computer screens and earphones to hear the video soundtrack. Conferences were held in smaller workrooms divided by glass walls from the windowless main room. Round the clock, the targeters from Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection agency analyze information from multiple sources, not just ATS. They compare names to terrorist watch lists and mine the Treasury Enforcement Communications System and other automated
