Description:
The Collection was assembled by the staff of USM's Special Collections to document the November 2000 State election referendum against discrimination based on sexual orientation. The issue was Question 6 on the ballot and read: “Do you favor ratifying the action of the 119th Legislature whereby it passed an act extending to all citizens regardless of their sexual orientation the same basic rights to protection against discrimination now guaranteed to citizens on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodation and credit and where the act expressly states that …

Literary Skinheads? Writing From The Right In Reunified Germany, Jay Julian Rosellini
Literary Skinheads? Writing From The Right In Reunified Germany, Jay Julian Rosellini
Purdue University Press Books
"Literary Skinheads? is a very nuanced, meticulously researched and vividly written study of a series of important debates in German literary circles since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rapid political transformations that have accompanied German unification. No other book in the English-speaking world offers such a comprehensive survey of the legacy of radical conservative ideas in German political life. Rosellini not only offers trenchant interpretations of major political controversies of the last decade in Germany, but he also provides the necessary background information needed to make sense of these important public debates." Elliott Neaman, author of …

“Every Town Shall Maintain Their Own Poor”: New England’S Settlement Laws, Jean F. Hankins
Maine History
New England's settlement laws dictated which town or county was responsible for supporting individuals in cases of hardship. Until the settlement laws of Maine were repealed in 1973, Maine's town officials and taxpayers were often legally obligated to support people whose connections with the town were largely historical One such case involved members of the Walker family, some of whom collected poor relief from the town of Otisfield from 1863 to 1968 even though the individuals receiving aid lived in the town for a total of less than seven years. Maine's archaic settlement laws persisted into the late twentieth century …

Reexamining The Racial Record Of Abraham Lincoln, Jonathan Scott Holloway, William E. Gienapp, Gabor Boritt, Allen C. Guelzo
Civil War Era Studies Faculty Publications
Since his death in 1865 Abraham Lincoln has been universally honored in black America. In many black homes and businesses, his photograph often hangs in honor next to the one of Martin Luther King Jr. But a new book by Ebony editor Lerone Bennett Jr. contends that Lincoln was a crude bigot who told demeaning darky jokes, had an unquenchable thirst for minstrel shows, consistently used the word "nigger," and supported efforts to ship Negroes back to Africa.
As Jack E. White pointed out in a recent Time magazine article, this book largely has been ignored by the mainstream press. …
