Over 25,000 march October 8, 1977 against a lower court decision in favor of Allan Bakke, a white student denied admission to the University of California Davis medical school who challenged the use of racial quotas to address discrimination.
The Supreme Court was scheduled to take up the case October 12th.
October 8th was designated as a national day of protest with large rallies taking place in Oakland, St. Louis as well as Washington, D.C.
Prior to the use of quotas, institutions such as colleges and workplaces struggled with low percentages of African Americans. UC-Davis medical school set a quota of 16 slots reserved for minorities out of a total of 100 freshmen admitted.
Bakke had scores that rated above the average admitted to the school and sued after twice being denied admission.
The case became one of the first to establish so-called “reverse-discrimination.”
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a widely split decision, found in Bakke’s favor and outlawed quotas to address racial discrimination. It upheld the use of race as a factor, thereby permitting affirmative action programs to continue.
According to some studies since the Supreme Court decision, progress in achieving racial parity essentially flat-lined. African Americans have held steady, or in some instances declined, in the percentage of students attending highly rated schools.
Critics point to the Bakke decision as the beginning of the end of racial progress in the U.S.

The Case Corporation was a manufacturer of construction equipment and agricultural equipment. Founded, in 1842, by Jerome Increase Case as the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company, it operated under that name for most of a century. For another 66 years it was the J. I. Case Company, and was often called simply Case. In the late 19th century, Case was one of America's largest builders of steam engines, producing self-propelled portable engines, traction engines and steam tractors. It was a major producer of threshing machines and other harvesting equipment, The company also produced various machinery for the U.S. military (combat engineer equipment for the USMC, full-tracked tractors and scoop loaders for the U.S. Army, etc.). In the 20th century, Case was among the 10 largest builders of farm tractors for many years. In the 1950s its construction equipment line became its primary focus, with agricultural business second.
Case's corporate entities and brands changed repeatedly in the 1980s and 1990s. When its corporate parent, Tenneco, bought International Harvester's agricultural equipment division and merged it into Case, the J. I. Case Company continued, but it began using the Case IH brand. In the 1990s it changed names several more times (each name including "Case") before its merger into CNH Global ended its history as a distinct entity. Various CNH brands continue to make use of the Case name, such as Case CE and Case IH.
Bought at auction with three other cased images. I thought they were all ambrotypes, but it turns out this one and one other are tintypes. It is ninth-plate and cased in an ornately embossed but simple leather covered case in excellent condition, with incredibly bright mat and preserver.
I suspected it was relatively early in the long period that tintypes were produced (1856 onwards) and have now confirmed this as the plate is embossed with the words "Neff's Pat 19 Feb 56", which dates it to 1856-60.

The Incase Hardshell Case for 15" MacBook Pro. I chose the Incase over Speck because I liked the rubberized, matte surface, and the build quality seemed sturdier (but that's purely conjecture). It snapped on easily, and a nice touch was the battery power meter button passthrough. The "clips" that secure the Incase to the laptop are more subtle than on the Speck, but I'm not a fan of how Incase embosses its own logo on the lid (whereas the Speck advertises only on the bottom piece).
My main complaint about the Incase was the right rear lower corner would catch on the MBP screen edge when I opened it up, making a teeth-gnashing snapping sound. I ended up filing down the edge a tiny bit, and now it opens without catching or rubbing. For something that costs so much and brags about how finely its engineered, though, this seems like a big flaw.
Third run of the pop up CD case, matte laminated, die cut and hand assembled.
