“Twenty Years Ago Today”: David O. Mckay's Heart Petals Revisited, Mary Jane Woodger
BYU Studies
David Oman McKay and Emma Ray Riggs were married January 2, 1901, making them, as David noted, the first couple sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in the twentieth century. As David's public profile rose with his call as Apostle in 1906 and then as President of the Church in 1951, the McKays became known popularly as the Church's happiest couple. During their marriage, President McKay wrote poems and other expressions of endearment for Emma Ray. He delivered these "heart petals," as he called them, from the Tabernacle pulpit and in the Deseret News Church Section on their anniversary, her …

A Penny For Their Thoughts: Draft Resistance At The Poston Relocation Center, Eric L. Muller

Korematsu And Beyond: Japanese Americans And The Origins Of Strict Scrutiny, Greg Robinson, Toni Robinson
Korematsu And Beyond: Japanese Americans And The Origins Of Strict Scrutiny, Greg Robinson, Toni Robinson
Law and Contemporary Problems
The authors examine the role that the Japanese American Citizens League played in the development of the "strict scrutiny" doctrine partly responsible for the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. The plight of Japanese Americans during their WWII internment gave them experience in implementing this doctrine, which they passed on to the NAACP.

Although the dissent has been criticized as incoherent, it contains strong legal implications within its complexity.
Fall From Grace: Arming America And The Bellesiles Scandal, James T. Lindgren
Fall From Grace: Arming America And The Bellesiles Scandal, James T. Lindgren
Law and Economics Papers
Before there was a scandal, there was a book - Michael A. Bellesiles's Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture. Arming America is a well-written and compelling story of how early Americans were largely unfamiliar with guns until the approach of the Civil War. It tells a wide-ranging, detailed, but relatively unnuanced story of gunlessness in early America. Bellesiles writes: "The vast majority of those living in British North American colonies had no use for firearms, which were costly, difficult to locate and maintain, and expensive to use." His primary evidence was low counts of guns in probate …

Hirata Family: Toshiye Hirata (Elder), Amy E. Smith

Carido Family: Kathleen Nomura (Youth), G. Lee
Filipino American Stories
Although she’s now well past the age of maturity, Kathleen Nomura thinks that her elders in her large extended family do not yet see her as an adult. In reply to the question, “When did your family start treating you like an adult?” with a good-natured laugh, she answers, “They still don’t.” Yet, there were milestones along the way that indicated to her she was becoming an adult—being able to drive, moving away from home, and having to be responsible for her own bills.

As a child, there was always an adult to supervise and guide her…

Komure Family: Roxanne Komure (Youth), Oksana Ivanschencko
Japanese American Stories
