The Gentleman from Ohio

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Trillium

Louis Stokes was a giant in Ohio politics and one of the most significant figures in the U.S. Congress in recent times. When he arrived in the House of Representatives as a freshman in 1969, there were only six African Americans serving. By the time he retired thirty years later, he had chaired the House Special Committee on the Kennedy and King assassinations, the House Ethics Committee during Abscam, and the House Intelligence Committee during Iran-Contra; he was also a senior member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Prior to Louis Stokes's tenure in Congress he served for many years as a criminal defense lawyer and chairman of the Cleveland NAACP Legal Redress Committee. Among the Supreme Court Cases he argued, the Terry "Stop and Frisk" case is regarded as one of the twenty-five most significant cases in the court's history. The Gentleman from Ohio chronicles this and other momentous events in the life and legacy of Ohio's first black representative--a man who, whether in law or politics, continually fought for the principles he believed in and helped lead the way for African Americans in the world of mainstream American politics.

This book covers fourteen generations of descendants of Captain Thomas Harris. Each descendant is numbered, starting with Captain Thomas Harris, who was born ca 1586 in England and died in Henrico County, Virginia, in 1658. Thomas arrived in Virginia in 1611, first in Jamestown and then Henrico County. He was one of the first burgesses to represent Henrico County. There is considerable disagreement about the wives of Thomas Harris. Some researchers insist that he first married Ann Gurganey (widow of Edward Gurganey); they had no children. Others believe that he first married Audrey Hoare (born 28 August 1604 in England); Thomas and Audrey had two children: Mary and William. He then married Joane Vincent, his neighbor's widow, ca 1623. Records typically contain (as available): full name, date and place of birth, date and place of death, age at time of death, date and place of marriage(s), source of marriage information, name of spouse(s), spouse's date of birth and death, and the names of children with dates of birth and death. A full-name index and a list of sources add to the value of this work.

At 5:30 p.m. on May 6, 1970, an embattled Ohio State University President Novice G. Fawcett took the unprecedented step of closing down the university. Despite the presence of more than 1,500 armed highway patrol officers, Ohio National Guardsmen, deputy sheriffs, and Columbus city police, university and state officials feared they could not maintain order in the face of growing student protests. Students, faculty, and staff were ordered to leave; administrative offices, classrooms, and laboratories were closed. The campus was sealed off. Never in the first one hundred years of the university's existence had such a drastic step been necessary. Just a year earlier the campus seemed immune to ...
