Charles Hamilton Houston is shown in an undated photo taken sometime between 1940-50.
Houston played a key role in the initial fight against Capital Transit, acting as one of the sponsors of Committee on Jobs for Negroes in Public Utilities. The Committee was composed of a broad range of organizations and individuals ranging from congressmen to communists that fought for breaking the color barrier for streetcar and bus operator jobs.
Houston later served on the federal Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC) from 1944-45. Houston resigned from the FEPC in disgust, blasting President Truman who refused to force Capital Transit to integrate its operator ranks.
Houston is best known as an activist who used is law degree to change social conditions, winning landmark desegregation years cases prior to the famous 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. Houston was NAACP special counsel from 1936-40 and a mentor of Thurgood Marshall.
He was also a fervent free speech advocate who defended the “Hollywood 10” against contempt of Congress charges when they refused to cooperate with an investigation into the Communist Party.
He is sometimes called the man who killed “Jim Crow.” The Capital Transit case is often cited as Houston’s biggest defeat. Houston, a Washington native, died April 22, 1950 and is buried in Lincoln Cemetery.
“We must never forget that the public officers, elective or appointive, are the servants of the class which places them in office and maintains them there.”
--Charles Hamilton Houston

I'd like to say this was Chippy meeting his mate, but he chased the other chipmunk away. Chipmunks have no problem with squirrels and birds, but are fiercely territorial when it comes to their own kind. I do hope Chippy lived happily ever after.
This wire replaces a missing or damaged track on the flexiprint. It connects a 40Hz clock signal to reset the time printing flip-flop. Hopefully this will mean the time platen solenoid is not always energised.

Spence Diamonds: Do You Really Need It? This Will Help You Decide! Spence Diamonds: Do You Really Need It? This Will Help You Decide! ift.tt/VVfrLM Harvard calls it “just-in-time inventory ” and “best vertical integration.”. We call it “low overhead” and “no middlemen.” Our clients win. Diamond Cut— the most crucial of the 4Cs:. The luster of a diamond will be determined by its cut. The science is amazing: light is gathered with the table, then bounced from feature to facet within the diamond as though it were in a house of mirrors. When all the light converges in the heart of the stone, it radiates outward with the crown facets in a silent surge of scintillation. Twinkle. Glimmer. Radiance. Cut. Cut. Cut. Every diamond cutter knows how to do this. The geometry isn’t a trick, so don’t be misled by all the embellishment about “master cutters” and other such nonsense. The simple reason that 99.71 percent of all diamonds are cut incorrectly is due to the fact that diamonds are sold by weight and at $850,000 an ounce, there is effective temptation to fudge the positioning of the elements so that the completed diamond will be heavier. The diamonds that are cut correctly are the ones whose natural shape makes it possible for the diamond cutter to optimize their weight without misaligning any elements. And now you understand why Doug Spence and Sean Jones made it their life’s work to achieve “very first look” position. The purchaser who gets “very first look” at the freshly-cut diamonds will constantly select the ones whose natural shape made it possible for them to be cut for optimum luster. Which, gentle reader, is the pedigree of every Spence diamond. Every Spence diamond is cut properly - for optimum glimmer - due to the fact that Spence diamond purchasers constantly get “very first look.”.
