Book Description
Contains nine mimeographed or mechanically reproduced letters, press releases, and internal memos documenting the Concerned Market Street Merchants organization, proposals, and activities. Includes four photographs (as well as two duplicate photographs) depicting homeless persons sleeping on or near Market Street, San Francisco. Concerned Market Street Merchants was formed by shoe store owner and manager Larry Hughes to activate business owners whose businesses operated on Market Street between 4th and 8th Streets (known as Mid-Market) to pressure San Francisco government and it's police and health departments to better address issues of vagrancy, theft, drug dealing, public intoxication, and public urination and defecation in an effort to bring back shoppers and businesses to the area. Among the group's 46 members were Crocker National Bank, Hibernia Bank and McDonalds, and a memo included in the collection lists Harvey Milk, founder of Castro Street Merchants Association, and John Eshleman Wahl, civil rights attorney, as individuals assisting the merchant's group. An outline of the organization's proposals includes actions for both city agencies and the individual merchants and shop owners and points out that the dangerous and unsanitary conditions are not the result of a 1976 municipal worker strike and instead are the result of a lack of police patrols, high police response time and a relaxed attitude towards arresting and prosecuting for crimes committed. A press release dated May 11, 1976 announces the merchant association's Kickoff Cleanup Day to bring attention to their efforts to improve conditions in the shopping district and to announce their meeting with Police Chief Charles Gain. A May 18, 1976 letter to Chief Gain outlines the group's demands for police action including revoking permits and extra patrols around a pool hall, arcade, and two bars located on Market Street; demanding the narcotics unit address the sale of drugs in the area; arresting and prosecuting rather than admonishing illegal behavior; and increasing patrols and decreasing response times. The letter also questions the equity of police patrols and response times, asking if more affluent areas of San Francisco experience the same lack of attention. It also posits whether or not the merchants need to arm themselves to keep their stores, their customers and themselves safe. Also contains newspaper clippings detailing the merchant's efforts, including a May 19, 1976 San Francisco Examiner article which points out that the merchant's concerns about the blight and crime on Market Street coincides with the city's $2.45 million plan to upgrade Market Street as part of many redevelopment plans taking place in the city in the 1970s.

Book Description
Oklahoma historian Angie Debo once observed that all the forces of United States history have come to bear in the development of the Sooner State. This collection of essays provides a series of snapshots reflecting both the singularity of the Oklahoma experience and the state’s connections to America’s broader history. Spanning the Civil War era and the present, this book develops historic themes as varied as the causes of Indian land dispossession, the Statehood Day wedding ceremony, the oil industry’s environmental impact, the Tulsa Race Riot, labor relations during the New Deal, the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment, the state’s unique Native artistic traditions, and its musical landscape. Oklahomans have always represented multiple races and cultures, lived in big cities or small towns or on farms, and promoted prosperity and cultural achievement while battling poverty and ignorance. The American Main Street has been the site not only of the best principles of community spirit and traditional values but also of shocking cases of prejudice and violence. Rather than shrinking from difficult subjects, Main Street Oklahoma describes the state’s abundant human, natural, and cultural resources, paying tribute to the true grit of Oklahomans, but also exploring some of the more troubling moments in Oklahoma’s past. The editors and contributors provide engaging perspectives on the state’s rich and diverse history.

Book Description
BUFFALO, NEW YORK IS ENJOYING A RESURGENCE, AND HAS BECOME A RECOMMENDED TRAVEL DESTINATION. THIS BOOK TELLS THE STORY OF HOW IT GOT HERE. In a sweeping narrative that speaks to the serious student of urban studies as well as the general reader, Mark Goldman tells the story of twentieth-century Buffalo, New York. Goldman covers all of the major developments: - The rise and decline of the city's downtown and ethnic neighborhoods - The impact of racial change and suburbanization - The role and function of the arts in the life of the community - Urban politics, urban design, and city planning While describing the changes that so drastically altered the form, function, and character of the city, Goldman, through detailed descriptions of special people and special places, gives a sense of intimacy and immediacy to these otherwise impersonal historical forces. City on the Edge unflinchingly documents and describes how Buffalo has been battered by the tides of history. But it also describes the unique characteristics that have encouraged an innovative cultural climate, including Buffalo's dynamic survival instinct that continues to lead to a surprisingly and inspiringly high quality of community life. Finally, it offers a road map, which-if followed-could point the way to a new and exciting future for this long-troubled city.
