1968231511968. War on Drugs Policing & Community Organization Massachusetts drug enforcement and anti-crack protest press photo archive documenting narcotics policing evidence display neighborhood mobilization and women's rehabilitation in Boston Springfield Pittsfield and Framingham from 1968 through the late 1980s preserving direct evidence of how the drug crisis was made visible through arrests raids protest institutional treatment and press circulation. Issued by newspaper and wire service photographers including Springfield Newspapers and United Press International the group shows the operational side of drug enforcement as well as the public response it generated with several photographs placing African American subjects at the center of arrest scenes and anti-crack activism. The archive preserves 1960s narcotics policing and the crack era's far more public localized and racially charged visual culture of enforcement in Massachusetts while also extending that history to the correctional and rehabilitative management of incarcerated women.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 8 silver gelatin press photographs 7 x 9 and 8 x 10 inches Massachusetts 1968 to 1969 and 1986 to 1989. The images move between street scenes police evidence photographs neighborhood demonstrations and institutional rehabilitation space. One September 6 1989 Boston press photograph shows drug control unit Sgt. Tim Murray handcuffing a Black suspect bent across the hood of a car at Dudley and Nonquit Streets in Uphams Corner while a child stands nearby with hands in his pockets an unusually stark bystander presence within an arrest image. A May 1988 Springfield Newspapers photograph shows a Massachusetts State Police trooper revolver visible at his hip leading away a Black man during drug-related arrests in Pittsfield. Another Boston image dated September 7 1986 is captioned on a "Staff Photo Caption Slip" identifying Sgt. William Lang of the BPD drug control unit holding a taped strip of crack vials for the camera making the evidentiary display itself the subject. A 1968 UPI telephoto includes a long typed caption naming Boston Police Vice and Narcotics Squad Captain Joseph Jordan and detectives examining part of $300000 in confiscated drugs after raids on 18 homes and apartments. A March 26 1969 press photograph by James K. O'Callaghan shows inmates at leisure time in a new drug rehabilitation center at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Framingham formerly the Women's Reformatory bringing women into the institutional treatment side of Massachusetts drug control. The photograph shows a sparse cinderblock interior with a curtained window table chairs and three women two seated and one standing gathered in a supervised communal room; the verso bears O'Callaghan's credit stamp a clipped newspaper caption reading "INMATES ENJOY leisure time at the new drug rehabilitation center at the Women's Reformatory Framingham" and handwritten editorial notations dated 3/26/69. Two Springfield anti-crack protest photographs anchor the community response: one shows residents outside Tully's Dairy Mart with signs reading "CRACK OUT" "STOP" and "CRACK OUT OR CRACK THIS" while another identifies six-year-old Simonea Washington niece of organizer Rev. Michael Spruill holding a placard reading "CRACK OUT" wearing a plaid collared shirt and her hair in two high braids. Versos retain typed captions editorial stamps handwritten dates subject markings such as "DEMONSTRATIONS" and "DRUGS" and residue from removed newsroom labels.<br /> <br /> During the 1980s and early 1990s the War on Drugs initiated by President Ronald Reagan and expanded under President George H.W. Bush led to a dramatic escalation in drug enforcement policies across the United States including Massachusetts. Reagan's Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 imposed mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses disproportionately impacting communities of color in urban centers like Boston Holyoke and Springfield. This Massachusetts group shows that the anti-crack movement was not solely a matter of police enforcement but also a neighborhood effort to reclaim streets corners and businesses from open drug dealing. Arrest scenes confiscated narcotics displayed for newspaper circulation organized protest and a women's correctional rehabilitation interior appear together here revealing how policing treatment local activism and the press jointly shaped public understanding of the drug crisis. African American men appear as the public face of enforcement in arrest photographs Black residents in Springfield including a child demonstrator appear as participants in anti-crack protest and incarcerated women at Framingham appear within the gendered framework of imprisonment and rehabilitation placing racial disparity neighborhood response and women's institutional treatment within the same visual record. Light handling wear and minor verso residue from removed newsroom labels or attachments; overall in very good condition. A focused record of how race policing protest press photography and women's rehabilitation converged in Massachusetts during the drug crisis. unknown

A new Texas commissioner came and assisted the survey of a part of the west boundary or one hundred and third meridian west longitude. In the next year 1860 when the United States commissioner surveyed the north and east boundaries it does not appear from the records that the Texas commissioner took part in the work and the United States commissioner did the work without any cooperation.</p><p>The east boundary being part of the lime between Texas and Indian Territory along the one hundredth meridian west longitude had been in part previously established by Jones and Brown surveyed in 1859 marking the boundary line of certain Indian lands which boundary by treaty of 22 January 1855 was the one hundredth meridian or the line between the State of Texas and the Indian country. Said surveyors had marked the one hundredth meridian from the north bank of Red River north to the Canadian River and about 19 miles further north and under instructions issued to the United States commissioner by the Secretary of the Interior for the survey of the United States and Texas boundary he was only required to retrace so much of said meridian as had been previously established by surveyors jones and Brown.</p><p>No part of the boundary survey has ever been agreed upon or accepted by the two governments as contemplated by in the act of Congress authorizing the survey.</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>Corners gently bumped light self wear else better than very good in a custom enclosure.</p> Government Printing Office hardcover
