Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H. R. 7152) which was referred to said committee November 27, 1963 in support of which motion the undersigned Members of the House of Representatives affix their signatures, to wit: 1. Emanuel Celler 2.

Bell-Atlanta B-29B-60-BA Superfortress (44-84061) the Pacusan Dreamboat

11 December 1945: Three days after Lieutenant Colonel Henry E. Warden and Captain Glen W. Edwards set a transcontinental speed record flying a prototype Douglas XB-42 from Long Beach, California, to Washington, D.C., in 5 hours, 17 minutes, Colonel Clarence S. Irvine and the crew of the B-29 Pacusan Dreamboat also set a record, flying from Burbank, California to overhead Floyd Bennett Field, New York, in 5 hours, 27 minutes, 8 seconds. The average speed for the 2,464-mile flight was 450.38 miles per hour (724.82 kilometers per hour).

Lieutenant General Clarence S. Irvine, U.S. Air Force

Irvine was Deputy Chief of Staff, Pacific Air Command, 1944–1947. He flew the Pacusan Dreamboat on several record-setting flights, including Guam to Washington, D.C., and Honolulu, Hawaii to Cairo, Egypt. He rose to the rank of lieutenant general in the United States Air Force, and served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Materiel.

Pacusan Dreamboat was a Bell Aircraft Corporation B-29B-60-BA Superfortress, built at Marietta, Georgia. The B-29B was a lightweight variant of the B-29, intended for operation at lower altitudes. It did not have the four power gun turrets and their .50-caliber machine guns. A radar-directed 20 mm cannon and two .50-caliber machine guns in the tail were the only defensive weapons. Much of the standard armour plate was also deleted. Pacusan Dreamboat was further lightened. The tail guns were removed and the tail reshaped.

The B-29B was equipped with four air-cooled, fuel-injected Wright R-3350-CA-2 Duplex Cyclone two-row 18 cylinder radial engines and specially-designed propellers. The engine nacelles were modified for improved cooling.

The Superfortress had been lightened to an empty weight of 66,000 pounds (29,937 kilograms). A standard B-29B weighed 69,000 pounds (31,298 kilograms) empty and 137,000 pounds (62,142 kilograms) fully loaded. Additional fuel tanks installed on the Dreamboat were able to carry 10,000 gallons of gasoline. www.joebaugher.com/usaf_bombers/b29_5.html

Weekend Edition: Essays, Part 2

We’re back today with more collections of essays. Remember to see our post Here for You to learn how you can access the following materials remotely. Even if you are not on campus, both printed materials and electronic resources are still available to you!

The Good Immigrant: 26 Writers Reflect on America edited by Nikesh Shukla and Chimene Suleyman

Presents essays by first- and second-generation immigrant writers on the realities of immigration, multiculturalism, and marginalization in an increasingly divided America. From Trump's proposed border wall and travel ban to the marching of White Supremacists in Charlottesville, America is consumed by tensions over immigration and the question of which bodies are welcome. In this much-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling UK edition, hailed by Zadie Smith as "lively and vital," editors Nikesh Shukla and Chimene Suleyman hand the microphone to an incredible range of writers whose humanity and right to be here is under attack. Chigozie Obioma unpacks an Igbo proverb that helped him navigate his journey to America from Nigeria. Jenny Zhang analyzes cultural appropriation in 90s fashion, recalling her own pain and confusion as a teenager trying to fit in. Fatimah Asghar describes the flood of memory and emotion triggered by an encounter with an Uber driver from Kashmir. Alexander Chee writes of a visit to Korea that changed his relationship to his heritage. These writers, and the many others in this singular collection, share powerful personal stories of living between cultures and languages while struggling to figure out who they are and where they belong. By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, troubling and uplifting, the essays in The Good Immigrant come together to create a provocative, conversation-sparking, multivocal portrait of America now.

Appalachian Reckoning: A Region Responds to Hillbilly Elegy edited by Anthony Harkins and Meredith McCarroll "With hundreds of thousands of copies sold, a Ron Howard movie in the works, and the rise of its author as a media personality, J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis has defined Appalachia for much of the nation. What about Hillbilly Elegy accounts for this explosion of interest during this period of political turmoil? Why have its ideas raised so much controversy? And how can debates about the book catalyze new, more inclusive political agendas for the region's future? Appalachian Reckoning is a retort, at turns rigorous, critical, angry, and hopeful, to the long shadow Hillbilly Elegy has cast over the region and its imagining. But it also moves beyond Hillbilly Elegy to allow Appalachians from varied backgrounds to tell their own diverse and complex stories through an imaginative blend of scholarship, prose, poetry, and photography. The essays and creative work collected in Appalachian Reckoning provide a deeply personal portrait of a place that is at once culturally rich and economically distressed, unique and typically American. Complicating simplistic visions that associate the region almost exclusively with death and decay, Appalachian Reckoning makes clear Appalachia's intellectual vitality, spiritual richness, and progressive possibilities."--Back cover

Victorian Comedy and Laughter: Conviviality, Jokes and Dissent edited by Louise Lee This innovative collection of essays is the first to situate comedy and laughter as central rather than peripheral to nineteenth century life. Victorian Comedy and Laughter: Conviviality, Jokes and Dissent offers new readings of the works of Charles Dickens, Edward Lear, George Eliot, George Gissing, Barry Pain and Oscar Wilde, alongside discussions of much-loved Victorian comics like Little Tich, Jenny Hill, Bessie Bellwood and Thomas Lawrence. Tracing three consecutive and interlocking moods in the period, all of the contributors engage with the crucial critical question of how laughter and comedy shaped Victorian subjectivity and aesthetic form. Malcolm Andrews, Jonathan Buckmaster and Peter Swaab explore the dream of print culture togetherness that is conviviality, while Bob Nicholson, Louise Lee, Ann Featherstone, Louise Wingrove and Oliver Double discuss the rise-on-rise of the Victorian joke -- both on the page and the stage -- while Peter Jones, Jonathan Wild and Matthew Kaiser consider the impassioned debates concerning old and new forms of laughter that took place at the end of the century.

Why I Like This Story edited by Jackson R. Bryer

On the assumption that John Updike was correct when he asserted, in a 1978 letter to Joyce Carol Oates, that "Nobody can read like a writer," Why I Like This Story presents brief essays by forty-eight leading American writers on their favorite American short stories, explaining why they like them. The essays, which are personal, not scholarly, not only tell us much about the story selected, they also tell us a good deal about the author of the essay, about what elements of fiction he or she values. Among the writers whose stories are discussed are such American masters as James, Melville, Hemingway, O'Connor, Fitzgerald, Porter, Carver, Wright, Updike, Bellow, Salinger, Malamud, and Welty; but the book also includes pieces on stories by canonical but lesser-known practitioners such as Andre Dubus, Ellen Glasgow, Kay Boyle, Delmore Schwartz, George Garrett, Elizabeth Tallent, William Goyen, Jerome Weidman, Peter Matthiessen, Grace Paley, William H. Gass, and Jamaica Kincaid, and relative newcomers such as Lorrie Moore, Kirstin Valdez Quade, Phil Klay, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Edward P. Jones. Why I Like This Story will send readers to the library or bookstore to read or re-read the stories selected. Among the contributors to the book are Julia Alvarez, Andrea Barrett, Richard Bausch, Ann Beattie, Andre Dubus, George Garrett, William H. Gass, Julia Glass, Doris Grumbach, Jane Hamilton, Jill McCorkle, Alice McDermott, Clarence Major, Howard Norman, Annie Proulx, Joan Silber, Elizabeth Spencer, and Mako Yoshikawa. Editor Jackson R. Bryer is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Maryland.

Amid Protests Against Racism, Scientists Move to Strip Offensive Names From Journals, Prizes, and More! “Dismantling White Supremacism in Science Has Taken on a New Urgency.”

— By Eli Cahan | July 2, 2020

*Update, 6 July: This story has been updated to include the American Society of Ichthyology and Herpetology’s decision to change the name of its flagship journal, Copeia, to Ichthyology and Herpetology beginning with the first issue of 2021. It also includes the Entomological Society of America’s decision to change the name of its student trivia competition.

*Update, 3 July: This story has been updated to include Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's decision to remove the name of biologist James Watson from its graduate program.

For Earyn McGee, terminology matters.

McGee, a herpetologist, studies the habitat and behavior of Yarrow’s spiny lizard, a reptile native to the southwestern United States. The University of Arizona graduate student and her colleagues regularly pack their things—boots, pens, notebooks, trail mix—and set off into the nearby Chiricahua Mountains. At their field site, they start an activity with a name that evokes a racist past: noosing.

“Noosing” is a long-standing term used by herpetologists for catching lizards. But for McGee, a Black scientist, the term is unnerving, calling to mind horrific lynchings of Black people by white people in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries. “Being the only Black person out in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of white people talking about noosing things is unsettling,” she says. McGee has urged her colleagues to change the parlance to “lassoing,” which she says also more accurately describes how herpetologists catch lizards with lengths of thread.

McGee isn’t alone in reconsidering scientific language. Researchers are pushing to rid science of words and names they see as offensive or glorifying people who held racist views.

This week alone, one scientific society is considering renaming a major journal that honors a renowned 19th century researcher who held racist views, and another is voting on changing the name of a trivia competition that canonizes a prominent eugenicist. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) decided to change the name of its graduate school because of Nobel laureate James Watson's past racial comments. And a prominent university has said it will remove from a campus building the name of a famous scientist who supported white supremacy. The moves come in the wake of last month’s decision to rename a major statistical prize—and in tandem with efforts to change the names of animals and plants that include ethnic slurs or honor researchers who were bigots.

Unifying these initiatives is reinvigorated resistance to institutional racism. Kory Evans, a marine biologist at Rice University, says, “Dismantling white supremacism in science has taken on a new urgency” amid the broader reckoning ignited by the killing of George Floyd, the Black man suffocated by a white police officer in Minneapolis in May. The buildings, journals, prizes, and organism names that have come under scrutiny “lionize figures … who specifically took actions to undermine the humanity of people of color … [and] who laid the academic foundation for actual discrimination, sterilization, and genocide,” says Brandon Ogbunu, an evolutionary biologist at Brown University.

The current movement isn’t the first to target scientists whose actions were judged unconscionable by subsequent generations. After the fall of Nazi Germany, apartheid in South Africa, and various communist nations, the names of scientists who supported oppressive policies were stripped from institutions and awards. And even before the recent demonstrations against systemic racism in the United States, many scientists had lobbied universities and science groups to stop honoring prominent researchers who had bigoted views. In 2018, for instance, years of activism prompted the University of Michigan (UM), Ann Arbor, to remove the name of Clarence Cook Little, an influential 20th century geneticist who supported eugenics, from a science building and a transit hub.

Universities concerned about creating diverse and empowering atmospheres are wise to reconsider whose names adorn their buildings, says UM historian Alexandra Minna Stern, who has chronicled the evolution of eugenics in the United States. The names, she says, “make visible the values and priorities and beliefs of an institution.”

This week, the University of Maine, Orono, followed UM’s lead, announcing on 29 June it would strip Little’s name from a building. “Little made an enduring positive contribution to science,” a university task force wrote. However, it added, “Major areas of his professional life violate the ideals that are central to the educational mission of the University of Maine and its commitment to the public good.” Drivers of the decision included Little’s high-profile support of eugenics and his work for the U.S. tobacco industry to dispute evidence linking smoking to cancer.

At the University of South Carolina, officials on 19 June moved to remove the name of physician J. Marion Sims from a women’s dormitory. He is known for inventing the Sims vaginal speculum, as well as for pioneering surgical techniques for vaginal fistula repair, both of which are still used in obstetrics today. Activists have noted that the tool and the surgery were developed through experimental surgeries on enslaved women conducted without anesthesia. The university’s move has been controversial in the state: “Changing the name of a stack of bricks and mortar is at the bottom of my to-do list,” tweeted Senator Harvey Peeler (R–SC).

On 1 July, according to a CSHL statement, its board of trustees "voted to restore the original name of the graduate program to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory School of Biological Sciences." The move, which required 75% of the board to approve changing the institution's charter, came after 133 CSHL students and alumni sent a 21 June letter saying Watson's name was "inextricably linked with racism" given comments he had made since at least 2007, when a newspaper quoted him saying Black people were of inferior intelligence. CSHL removed him as chancellor then and in 2019, after he told PBS his views had not changed, the lab stripped his remaining honors except for the school's name.

U.K. universities are also taking a hard look at whom they honor. On 24 June, the University of Cambridge decided to remove a stained-glass window named after biostatistician Ronald Fisher, who has been celebrated as “the single most important figure in 20th century statistics” but was also a prominent supporter of eugenics. The university acknowledged Fisher’s “remarkable scientific discoveries,” including his application of mathematical theory to the process of natural selection, but decided to strip the name to “broaden and strengthen our community for all its members.”

At University College London, officials are evaluating whether to rename buildings celebrating geneticist Francis Galton (who coined the term “eugenics”) and mathematician Karl Pearson (founder of the Annals of Eugenics). Pearson derived the correlation that now bears his name—a commonly used statistical technique—through studies designed to demonstrate “[the] problem of alien immigration into Great Britain.” Joe Cain, a philosopher of science at the university, says, “The science behind these discoveries may be groundbreaking,” but institutions need to “consider the man and his data set, too.”

He adds, “Students should be able to look at a name and ask, ‘Who is that?’ and have their professors respond: ‘That’s a person you can aspire to.’”

The swell of support for inclusive placemaking has not been limited solely to campus grounds. Earlier this month in Geneva, residents submitted a motion to the municipality’s Grand Council to rename a street memorializing Karl Vogt. The 19th century German zoologist is known for his influence on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. But Vogt was also a vocal advocate of irreconcilable differences in cranial capacity between Black and white people, claiming in his Lectures on Man that Black people were closer anatomically to apes than humans.

Scientific societies that fail to similarly reflect on the spaces they construct contribute to “an extremely poisonous … ambiance for people of color,” Ogbunu says. At the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, an effort to change the name of its flagship journal—Copeia, named after Edward Cope, a scientist who held racist views—is nearing its end. Motivated in part by a June survey that found the society’s membership is 82% white and less than 1% Black, the society’s board voted on 3 July to remove the eponym. Beginning with its first issue of 2021, the journal will be known as Ichthyology and Herpetology.

Also under scrutiny: prizes and other accolades bestowed by societies, including those awarded to exceptional early-career scientists. This month, the Society for the Study of Evolution and the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies both renamed awards that honored Fisher, the statistician. Still, resistance to such name changes persists. “We can at once celebrate and benefit from scientific contributions while disagreeing wholeheartedly with the personal beliefs of the scientists responsible for them,” wrote three researchers—statisticians Harry Crane of Rutgers University, Joe Guinness of Cornell University, and Ryan Martin of North Carolina State University—in a public letter opposing the change. Stripping Fisher’s name, they write, would “damage public trust in science by signaling that the evaluation of scientific advances reflects not only scientific achievement but also social acceptance.

Event names are also being re-evaluated. Some members of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) are calling for renaming the society’s annual Linnaean Games, a student trivia competition named after Carl Linnaeus. The 18th century botanist invented the system for classifying species, including Homo sapiens, which he categorized based on race, assigning negative social traits to nonwhite populations. “For those of us who have ever been called Black, brown, or yellow, Linnaeus’s legacy lives on every day,” says Taylor Tai, an entomology graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and co-author of a petition to rename the games.

On 3 July, ESA board members discussed renaming the event. “By today’s standards, there is no way to read [Linnaeus’s] classification of humans as anything other than racist,” Chris Stelzig, the society’s executive director, said before the session. But, he added, some members opposed to removing Linnaeus’s name wondered whether it was “right to judge our ancestors by today’s standards.” Today, the society announced the board’s decision to rename the Linnaen Games as the Entomology Games. Explaining the decision, ESA President Alvin Simmons said: “The loss of any student competitors who felt unwelcome because of the name of the Games went against ESA’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and students as the future of entomology.”

Some researchers are also pushing to change species names they find objectionable. Graduate students around the world have contributed to a spreadsheet that lists potentially problematic common and scientific names of plants and animals. It includes a scorpion, a duck, and a buttonquail that carry the name hottentota, hottentotta, or hottentottus; colonialists in the 17th century used “Hottentot” as a derogatory term for Indigenous Black people in Africa. Researchers say other names—including those of the Nasutitermes corniger termite, the Orsotriaena medus butterfly, Speke’s weaver, McCown’s longspur, and the flowers, chives, and turtles named after Linnaeus’s apostles—also include slurs or glorify bigots.

“Nomenclature is in service to hierarchies,” says Harriet Washington, an ethicist who has written about structural racism in medicine. “Toppling these statues, so to speak, is not eroding history so much as issuing a correction to it.”

McGee, who co-organized last month’s #BlackBirdersWeek, favors such name changes. And she says she has been blindsided by the pervasiveness of racialized taxonomy, learning only recently that the lizard she studies is named for H. C. Yarrow, who “objectif[ied] the bodies of ‘others’ in order to explain and justify … [racial] dominance,” according to Museums and Empire: Natural History, Human Cultures and Colonial Identities, a book by historian John MacKenzie. McGee was “disappointed but not surprised” by that history, she says.

McGee’s campaign to change her field’s term from “noosing” to “lassoing” has made limited headway, she says, but she is not discouraged. “What is customary or convenient to a previous generation [of scientists] is not a good excuse for retaining racism,” she says. “I’ve accepted I’m the type of person who will speak up so the next Black herpetologist doesn’t have to go through this.”

Eddie Kendricks

Edward James Kendrick (December 17, 1939 – October 5, 1992), best known by the stage name Eddie Kendricks, was an American singer and songwriter. Noted for his distinctive falsetto singing style, Kendricks co-founded the Motown singing group The Temptations, and was one of their lead singers from 1960 until 1971. His was the lead voice on such famous songs as "The Way You Do The Things You Do", "Get Ready", and "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)". As a solo artist, Kendricks recorded several hits of his own during the 1970s, including the number-one single "Keep On Truckin'".

Biography

Early years

Kendricks was born in Union Springs, Alabama on December 17, 1939, the son of Johnny and Lee Bell Kendrick. He had one sister, Patricia, and three brothers, Charles, Robert, and Clarence. His family moved to the Ensley neighborhood of Birmingham, where he met and began singing with his best friend Paul Williams in their church choir in the late 1940s. In 1955, Kendricks, Williams, and friends Kell Osborne and Jerome Averette formed a doo-wop group called The Cavaliers, and began performing around Birmingham. The group decided to move for better opportunities in their musical careers, and in 1957 the group moved to Cleveland, Ohio on E 123rd and Kinsman. In Cleveland, they met manager Milton Jenkins, and soon moved with Jenkins to Detroit, Michigan, where the Cavaliers renamed themselves "The Primes." Under Jenkins' management, the Primes were successful in the Detroit area, eventually creating a female spin-off group called The Primettes (later The Supremes). In 1961, Osbourne moved to California, and the Primes disbanded. Kendricks and Paul Williams joined forces with members Otis Williams and Melvin "Blue" Franklin of Otis Williams and the Distants after three members quit and became The Elgins, who on the same day changed their name to "The Temptations" and signed to Motown.

With the Temptations

The Temptations began singing background for Mary Wells. After an initial dry period, The Temptations quickly became the most successful male vocal group of the 1960s. Although technically Kendricks was first tenor in the group's harmony, he predominately sang in a falsetto voice. Among the Temptations songs Kendricks sang lead on were "Dream Come True" (1962), the group's first charting single; "The Way You Do the Things You Do" (1964), the group's first US Top 20 hit; "I'll Be in Trouble" (1964); "The Girl's Alright With Me" (1964), a popular b-side that Kendricks co-wrote; "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)" (1964); "Get Ready" (1966); "Please Return Your Love to Me" (1968); and "Just My Imagination" (1971). He was also allowed to sing a few leads in his natural voice such as "May I Have This Dance" (1962). He shares lead vocal duty on other records, including "You're My Everything (The Temptations song)" (1967) (shared with David Ruffin), and a long string of Norman Whitfield produced psychedelic soul records where all five Temptations sang lead, such as the Grammy winner "Cloud Nine" (1968), "I Can't Get Next to You" (1969), and "Ball of Confusion" (1970). He also leads on "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" (1968), a popular duet with Diana Ross and the Supremes, and on the Temptations' famous version of the Christmas classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (1968).

In the Temptations, Kendricks was responsible for creating most of the group's vocal arrangements, and also served as wardrobe manager, including the now famous purple suits the group wore for one performance. Though Whitfield had chief responsibility for writing, Kendricks co-wrote and received credit for several Temptations songs apart from "The Girl's Alright With Me" including "Isn't She Pretty" (1961) and "Don't Send Me Away" (1967). His favorite food was cornbread, and as a result he was nicknamed "Cornbread" (or "Corn" for short) by his groupmates. According to Otis Williams, Kendricks romantically pursued Diana Ross, lead singer of the Supremes, and he was said to have been close friends with Martha Reeves of the Vandellas. In her second book, Supreme Faith, Supremes singer Mary Wilson writes that she and Kendricks were lovers "briefly," but remained close friends.

Kendricks remained in the group through the rest of the decade, but a number of issues began to push him away from it in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was uncomfortable with singing the psychedelic style that Whitfield was now crafting for the group as opposed to the romantic ballads they had sung under the direction of Smokey Robinson; his friend Paul Williams was often too ill to perform with the group; and Kendricks often found himself at odds with bandmates Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin. As he grew away from the group, Kendricks began to rekindle his friendship with ex-Temptation David Ruffin, who convinced him to leave the group.

In a 1991 interview with a Chicago television series called Urban Street, Kendricks said he had actually considered leaving the group as early as 1965, even though that was when the band was finally starting to take off, because of things that "weren't quite proper." He explained that they were working with people that "didn't have their best interests at heart." Kendricks, however, initially decided to stay in the group because he was worried he would not get the support he needed if he left the group. Kendricks also expressed the fact that his relationship with Berry Gordy was less than cordial. "Berry Gordy is a man I don't know, I only met him about three times," he said, but "I know he didn't particularly care for me." Kendricks stated that he did not agree with many decisions that were made.

Following one final altercation with Williams and Franklin during a run at the Copacabana nightclub in November 1970, Kendricks walked off after the first night and didn't return, and it was mutually decided he would leave the group. While working on his first solo album, Kendricks recorded one last hit single with the Temptations, 1971's "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)". By the time the record reached #1 on the US pop charts in April 1971, Kendricks had signed a solo deal with Motown's Tamla imprint and was preparing the release of his first solo album, All By Myself. However, many of his problems with Motown would reoccur.

Solo career and later years

Kendricks' solo career began slowly; he endured two years of singles that missed the Top 40, while The Temptations continued with their string of Norman Whitfield-helmed hits (one of which, "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)", was written as a jab towards Kendricks and Ruffin). Despite enjoying only a modicum of commercial success and radio airplay, Kendricks's 1972 album People... Hold On (recorded with his touring group, The Young Senators, composed of Jimi Dougans, Frank Hooker, LeRoy Fleming, Wornell Jones, David Lecraft, James Drummer Johnson and John Engram) was a cornerstone of DJ playlists in downtown New York's nascent disco scene. The expansive, eight-minute take on "Girl, You Need A Change Of Mind", which peaked at number thirteen on the soul chart, was a particular favorite at David Mancuso's Loft. The single was later remade by R&B singer D'Angelo for the Get on the Bus Soundtrack. As the dance craze seeped through into other cities, Kendricks scored a #1 pop hit in 1973 with the Frank Wilson-produced "Keep on Truckin'". As well as reaching #18 in the UK, it sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Further hits included 1974's "Boogie Down" (US #2, UK #39) and another million selling release, "Son of Sagittarius" (US #28) from the same year, 1975's "Shoeshine Boy" (US #18), and 1976's "He's a Friend" (US #36). Another notable song is "Intimate Friends" (1977), which was sampled for the Alicia Keys song "Unbreakable", "A Penny for My Thoughts" by Common, Sparkle's "Time to Move on" on her self-titled first studio album, and for Sweet Sable's "Old Time's Sake" from the soundtrack for the 1994 2pac film, Above the Rim. Erykah Badu also sampled "Intimate Friends" for her song "Fall in Love (Your Funeral)", as well as his song "My People... Hold on" for her song "My People" on her album New Amerykah Part One (4th World War).

Exasperated by a lack of creative and financial control, Kendricks left Motown in 1978, with the requirement of signing away the rights to his royalties. He moved first to Arista Records, and later to Atlantic Records. By this time, his popularity had waned, and he was also gradually losing his voice as a result of chain smoking.

He and David Ruffin briefly re-joined the Temptations for a 1982 reunion tour. In an interview with Tom Meros, Dennis Edwards, Kendricks's former Temptations band mate, claimed that Kendricks had issues hitting his falsetto notes during recording sessions for the reunion album. Because of his singing difficulty, Edwards said that Kendricks went to a physician to examine his vocal ability. The physician discovered a "pin drop" of cancer on one of his lungs. However, Kendricks reportedly refused to undergo chemotherapy at the time because of fear that he would lose his hair.

Ruffin and Kendrick (Kendricks dropped the "s" from his stage name during the 1980s) reportedly met up one night when Ruffin went to watch Kendrick perform in a nightclub; Kendrick spotted Ruffin in the crowd, pointed him out, and invited him to come up on stage and perform with him. Afterward they talked about touring on their own and recorded an album as a duo for RCA in 1988.

Earlier, in 1985, they participated in the Hall & Oates live album Live at The Apollo recorded at a benefit at New York City's Apollo Theater; and sang with the duo at Live Aid in Philadelphia and the MTV Video Music Awards in New York. Hall & Oates have cited Kendrick and Ruffin specifically, and the Temptations in general, as a major influence.

In 1989, Kendrick, Ruffin, and their Temptations bandmates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There, Kendrick and Ruffin made plans with fellow former Temptation Dennis Edwards to tour and record as "Ruffin/Kendrick/Edwards, Former Leads of The Temptations." The Ruffin/Kendrick/ Edwards project was cut short in 1991, when Kendrick was diagnosed with lung cancer and David Ruffin died of a drug overdose, although Kendrick and Edwards continued to tour for the remainder of 1991.

Death

In late 1991, Kendricks, by now living in his native Birmingham, Alabama, underwent surgery to have one of his lungs removed in hopes of preventing the spread of the cancer. He continued to tour through the summer of 1992, when he fell ill again and was hospitalized. Kendricks died of lung cancer in Birmingham on October 5, 1992 at age 52. He was survived by his three children: Parris, Aika, and Paul Kendricks. He was buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama.

Legacy

In 1998, NBC aired The Temptations, a four-hour television miniseries based upon an autobiographical book by Otis Williams. Kendricks was portrayed by actor Terron Brooks.

On October 16, 1999, Eddie Kendrick Memorial Park, located on the corner of 18th Street and 4th Avenue North, was dedicated to Birmingham native Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations. The park uses Kendricks' family name sans the "s", which was added early in his career. The memorial features a bronze sculpture of Kendricks by local artist Ron McDowell, as well as sculptures of the other Temptations, set into a granite wall. Inscribed on the granite are the names of Temptation's hit songs. Recorded music can be heard throughout the park, featuring songs by Kendricks and the Temptations.

In the last years of the Seventeenth Century there was to be found among the fops and fools of the London coffee-houses one rangy, gangling flitch called Ebenezer Cooke, more ambitious than talented, and yet more talented than prudent, who, like his friends-in-folly, all of whom were supposed to be educating at Oxford or Cambridge, had found the sound of Mother English more fun to game with than her sense to labor over, and so rather than applying himself to the pains of scholarship, had learned the knack of versifying, and ground out quires of couplets after the fashion of the day, afroth with Joves and Jupiters, aclang with jarring rhymes, and string-taut with similes stretched to the snapping-point.

Top 10 Historic Houses in Canada

When visiting another country, it's always nice to see some of the historic and beautiful places it has to offer. You should take time to visit these places not only to appreciate the country even more, but also to learn more about it. And there are no other places more historic or more colorful than houses in which history happened.

10 Historic Houses In Canada

Canada is one of the most historic and colorful countries in the world. Everywhere you go, you'll find a place worth visiting. However, there are some places that are more worth visiting than others. Here are some of the houses that you should take time to visit:

1. Lougheed House

This place was first known as "Beaulieu", which means "beautiful place" in French. It's in Calgary, Alberta's Beltline district, and is a national historic site.

The Lougheed House Conservation Society are the ones who manage the place. It is a non-profit and an independent society that devotes itself to restoring the house and allowing the public to enjoy it.

Senator James Alexander Lougheed built the mansion back in 1891, for his wife Isabella Hardisty Lougheed. Together with their first two sons, Clarence and Norman, they moved into the house. After their move, they had four more children: Edgar, Dorothy, Douglas, and Marjorie.

The family expanded the house in 1907, in order to accommodate their growing family, as well as their increasing amount of acquaintances and friends. They made the house according to the municipal building code, because of the Calgary Fire in 1886.

For the most part, the Lougheed House was a residential place, a military barracks for women, blood donor clinic, and a women's training centre. However, preceding the year 2000, the house was empty, yet cared for. On that year, however, new restoration of the house began.

2. Henry House

The house can be found on Halifax Regional Municipality's Barrington Street. It's a two-and-a-half-storey property, and has been appointed as a National Historic Site of Canada. Under the Heritage Property Act of the province of Nova Scotia, the property is a Municipal Registered Property and a Provincially Registered Property.

Henry House was originally built for John Metzler back in 1834. He was a wealthy landowner and Halifax stonemason. The property is originally known as a house associated with William Alexander Henry, a native of Halifax who stayed with the Metzler family from 1854-1864.

Henry was very prominent back in the day, because he was a Father of Confederation. He was also the co-author of the British North America Act, a Mayor of Halifax, a provincial Attorney General, and a Member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. Henry served as Supreme Court of Canada's justice, and was the first Nova Scotian to ever do so.

During the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, the property was a Sailors' Home. The Navy League of Canada operated the property during that period.

Jacques Ducau and Richard (Dick) Raymond bought the property back in 1968. In 1969, the duo renovated the property, opening a restaurant and downstairs tavern inside. Little Stone Jug was the tavern, and the restaurant was deemed The Henry House.

The restaurant is still in operation today, but is now known as The Henry House Restaurant & Pub. In 1969, the property was appointed a National Historic Site.

3. Earnscliffe

The Victorian manor that was built in the style of the Gothic Revival can be found in Ottawa, Ontario. It was the house of Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada. However, since 1930, it has become the house of Canada's British High Commissioner.

The company of Thomas McKay were the ones who built the property. It was built in 1855 for John McKinnon, McKay's son-in-law. In 1866, however, McKinnon suddenly died, and Thomas Keefer, McKay's other son-in-law, bought the property.

After two years, Keefer sold the property to a railroad developer, Thomas Reynolds. He stayed in the property for a couple of years. During his stay, the property got the name "Earnscliffe", which means "eagle's cliff".

In 1879, Reynolds died, and in 1883, Sir John A. Macdonald bought the property from Reynolds's son. During an earlier time, Macdonald had stayed with Reynolds. According to rumors, Macdonald was the one who gave the property its name. Macdonald made renovations to the property, and even added several rooms in 1888. He got sick and died on the property in 1891.

His widow, Lady Macdonald, briefly continued to reside in the home after his death, and Queen Victoria made her Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe. Soon, however, Lady Macdonald and her daughter departed for England, and leased the house to Lord Treowen, commander of the militia. Over the next decades, the building was home to several local notables, including Mrs. Charles A.E. Harriss.

Afterwards, William Henry Clark, Canada's first British High Commissioner, bought the house in 1930. And ever since, the property has been the British High Commissioner's house.

4. Dundurn Castle

If you're stopping by Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, then Dundun Castle is a must-stop. It's an 18,000 sq.ft. historic neoclassical mansion. The house cost $175,000 to build, and was finished in 1835. At the time, though, the house had the latest conveniences - such as running water and gas lighting!

The City of Hamilton is now the owner of the property, who purchased it for $50,000 in 1899. In order to make the property open to the public, the City has renovated it for almost $3 million. All of the rooms have been restored to how they looked back in 1855, when Sir Allan Napier MacNab owned it. Costumed interpreters are there to guide those who visit the house. A descendant of Sir Allan MacNab, the Duchess of Cornwall, is the Dundun Castle's Royal Patron.

Robert Charles Wetherell was the architect who built the house, completing it in 1835. Richard Beasley was the original owner of the house - however, due to financial problems, he was forced to sell it. He was one of the early settlers of Hamilton. MacNab built the house's foundation on the brick home of Beasley.

Once the house was finished, it became known for its grand entertainments all over Canada. King Edward VII and Sir John A. MacDonald are just a few of the people who have been to this historic house.

When MacNab died, the property became an institution for deaf mutes. In 1872, Donald McInnes bought the property. Later on, he would sell the property to the City of Hamilton. It was renovated, restored and appointed as a National Site of Canada.

5. Sir George Etienne Cartier House Museum

Another of Canada's National Historic Sites is the house of Sir George-Étienne Cartier. The place is now a historic house museum, commemorating Cartier's life and accomplishments. Nowadays, the house also has other adjoining houses, which features the architectural heritage of 19th-Century Montreal’s middle class.

The house is made up of adjacent houses: the 'west house' and the 'east house'. These houses were separate at first, but now they form one building. The 'west house' portrays the Cartier family's way of life during the 1960s, and an exhibit can be found on the 'east house' which showcases the life of Sir George-Étienne Cartier. Sir George-Étienne Cartier was a prominent man of his time, as a politician and a middle-class Montrealer.

Sir George-Étienne Cartier House showcases the work and career of one of the Fathers of Confederation. It's also a great example of a neoclassical building that went through modifications.

The house museum can be found on the northeast edge of the Old Montreal district. It was appointed as a Canadian National Historic Site in 1964. The house was recognized because of the architectural importance and historical value.

6. Park House Museum

When you go to Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada, then you should go to Park House Museum, a historic house museum that was built in Detroit in 1796. However, in 1799, it was moved to Amherstburg.

The house has had plenty of owners, but only the Park Family is widely-recognized. The Park Family lived in this house for 102 years.

The Rotary Club of Amherstburg would buy the property in 1972. It was renovated, and became a local history museum, portraying how it was in the 1850s.

Park House Museum was built by a British loyalist near the Rouge River in 1796. The owner went to Malden when the American Revolution was over. Two years later, in 1798, it was disassembled and moved, with the help of a canoe. The property was built back up again in Amherstburg on the 17th Lot, Dalhousie St., and it would stay there for the next 173 years.

Through a draw, the lot was awarded and given to Leigh, Duff, and Shepherd. Captain Hector McLean, Fort Malden's Commanding officer, chose to give it to Nancy, a schooner, instead. Nancy's owner held the property.

In 1817, the property was bought by Alexander Mackintosh. Soon after, however, in 1823, Jean Baptists Macon bought the property. Macon, who was a famous merchant, hired the Park brothers as clerks - and in 1839, Thomas F. Park bought the house. He lent it to Theodore Jones Park, Thomas's younger brother.

After Theodore Jones Park died, John R. Park, his younger brother, bought the property. The son of Theodore, Dr. Theodore James Park, lived in the house after that. And when he died, Lizzie, his sister, owned the property.

The property changed hands multiple times afterwards. Nowadays, though, it's educating everyone about day-to-day living in the 1850s. The Park House Museum was appointed as a National Historic Site on October 4, 2018.

7. McCrae House

One of Canada's Historic Sites is the McCrae House. It can be found in the birthplace of John McCrae in Guelph, Ontario. John McCrae is a soldier, doctor, and the author of "In Flanders Fields".

McCrae House is a small limestone cottage that is owned by the McCrae family. It was first built in 1858, and the McCrae family stayed there from 1870 until 1873. The property changed hands multiple times, until a group of Guelph citizens bought it in 1966. They created the Lt. Col. John McCrae Birthplace Society, and raised money to restore the house.

Every year, the house offers a different theme. It has temporary and permanent exhibition spaces, which showcase the life of John McCrae. The house was appointed as a place of national significance by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board. John McCrae was also appointed as a person of national significance.

8. Manoir Papineau

The Papineau family stayed in the Manoir Papineau from 1850 to 1929. Manoir Papineau is now being operated by Parks Canada. In 1993, Parks Canada were appointed as its custodians, and they opened it to the public.

Manoir Papineau is considered to be one of the Ottawa River region's most important heritage locations. The property was built to remember Louis-Joseph Papineau, who was one of the leading politicians of the 19th Century, and was the first leader of the French-Canadian nationalists. Later on, he became La Petite-Nation's first seigneur.

The house was built when Papineau came back to Canada, after he had been exiled to Europe. And he and his family lived here, in the house, until he died. Generations of his family continued to live in the house until the 1920s.

9. Maison Cartier

One of the most historic houses in Montreal is Maison Cartier. In Old Montreal, you can find the Maison Cartier, which is also appointed as a Canadian National Historic Site. It was appointed as a National Historic Site back on November 19, 1982.

The Maison Cartier was built from 1812 to 1813. Amiable Amiot dit Villeneuve, a mason, and Antoine Bouteiller, a carpenter, constructed the house. The walls and the dormers on the roof are made of ashlar. They are great examples of the 19th Century's urban architecture of Quebec. Augustin Perrault and Louis Parthenais were the first owners of the Maison Cartier.

Maison Cartier can be found in one of the most colorful areas in Montreal, The Village. Its interior design is heavily inspired from Art Deco's style and elegance. Each room has its own terrace or balcony, allowing you to enjoy the view of the city. If you want to enjoy Montreal, then you should definitely visit Maison Cartier.

10. Château Dufresne

One of the most historic places in Canada is Château Dufresne, a historic house in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve's borough. Oscar Dufresne and Marius Dufresne, two French-Canadian entrepreneurs who had huge involvements in the Maisonneuve's history, stayed at this house for a time.

Originally, the place was parted into two different houses - one for each Dufresne. The Dufresne family would later sell the property to the Congregation of the Holy Cross, who would use it as the Holy Cross College's pavilion annex.

In 1957, the City of Montreal became the new owner of the property. However, until 1961, Holy Cross College stayed as a tenant. Then, from 1965 to 1968, the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art was the tenant. From 1976 to 1997, the mansion's tenant was the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts. And the Château Dufresne Museum has been staying in the property from 1999 up until now. In 2014, the property was renamed “Dufresne-Nincheri Museum”.

Marius Dufresne and Jules Renard designed the property in the style of the Beaux-Arts. It was appointed as a historic monument by the provincial government in 1976.

This place was first known as "Beaulieu", which means "beautiful place" in French. It's in Calgary, Alberta's Beltline district, and is a national historic site.

The Lougheed House Conservation Society are the ones who manage the place. It is a non-profit and an independent society that devotes itself to restoring the house and allowing the public to enjoy it.

Senator James Alexander Lougheed built the mansion back in 1891, for his wife Isabella Hardisty Lougheed. Together with their first two sons, Clarence and Norman, they moved into the house. After their move, they had four more children: Edgar, Dorothy, Douglas, and Marjorie.

The family expanded the house in 1907, in order to accommodate their growing family, as well as their increasing amount of acquaintances and friends. They made the house according to the municipal building code, because of the Calgary Fire in 1886.

For the most part, the Lougheed House was a residential place, a military barracks for women, blood donor clinic, and a women's training centre. However, preceding the year 2000, the house was empty, yet cared for. On that year, however, new restoration of the house began.

2. Henry House

The house can be found on Halifax Regional Municipality's Barrington Street. It's a two-and-a-half-storey property, and has been appointed as a National Historic Site of Canada. Under the Heritage Property Act of the province of Nova Scotia, the property is a Municipal Registered Property and a Provincially Registered Property.

Henry House was originally built for John Metzler back in 1834. He was a wealthy landowner and Halifax stonemason. The property is originally known as a house associated with William Alexander Henry, a native of Halifax who stayed with the Metzler family from 1854-1864.

Henry was very prominent back in the day, because he was a Father of Confederation. He was also the co-author of the British North America Act, a Mayor of Halifax, a provincial Attorney General, and a Member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. Henry served as Supreme Court of Canada's justice, and was the first Nova Scotian to ever do so.

During the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, the property was a Sailors' Home. The Navy League of Canada operated the property during that period.

Jacques Ducau and Richard (Dick) Raymond bought the property back in 1968. In 1969, the duo renovated the property, opening a restaurant and downstairs tavern inside. Little Stone Jug was the tavern, and the restaurant was deemed The Henry House.

The restaurant is still in operation today, but is now known as The Henry House Restaurant & Pub. In 1969, the property was appointed a National Historic Site.

3. Earnscliffe

The Victorian manor that was built in the style of the Gothic Revival can be found in Ottawa, Ontario. It was the house of Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada. However, since 1930, it has become the house of Canada's British High Commissioner.

The company of Thomas McKay were the ones who built the property. It was built in 1855 for John McKinnon, McKay's son-in-law. In 1866, however, McKinnon suddenly died, and Thomas Keefer, McKay's other son-in-law, bought the property.

After two years, Keefer sold the property to a railroad developer, Thomas Reynolds. He stayed in the property for a couple of years. During his stay, the property got the name "Earnscliffe", which means "eagle's cliff".

In 1879, Reynolds died, and in 1883, Sir John A. Macdonald bought the property from Reynolds's son. During an earlier time, Macdonald had stayed with Reynolds. According to rumors, Macdonald was the one who gave the property its name. Macdonald made renovations to the property, and even added several rooms in 1888. He got sick and died on the property in 1891.

His widow, Lady Macdonald, briefly continued to reside in the home after his death, and Queen Victoria made her Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe. Soon, however, Lady Macdonald and her daughter departed for England, and leased the house to Lord Treowen, commander of the militia. Over the next decades, the building was home to several local notables, including Mrs. Charles A.E. Harriss.

Afterwards, William Henry Clark, Canada's first British High Commissioner, bought the house in 1930. And ever since, the property has been the British High Commissioner's house.

4. Dundurn Castle

If you're stopping by Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, then Dundun Castle is a must-stop. It's an 18,000 sq.ft. historic neoclassical mansion. The house cost $175,000 to build, and was finished in 1835. At the time, though, the house had the latest conveniences - such as running water and gas lighting!

The City of Hamilton is now the owner of the property, who purchased it for $50,000 in 1899. In order to make the property open to the public, the City has renovated it for almost $3 million. All of the rooms have been restored to how they looked back in 1855, when Sir Allan Napier MacNab owned it. Costumed interpreters are there to guide those who visit the house. A descendant of Sir Allan MacNab, the Duchess of Cornwall, is the Dundun Castle's Royal Patron.

Robert Charles Wetherell was the architect who built the house, completing it in 1835. Richard Beasley was the original owner of the house - however, due to financial problems, he was forced to sell it. He was one of the early settlers of Hamilton. MacNab built the house's foundation on the brick home of Beasley.

Once the house was finished, it became known for its grand entertainments all over Canada. King Edward VII and Sir John A. MacDonald are just a few of the people who have been to this historic house.

When MacNab died, the property became an institution for deaf mutes. In 1872, Donald McInnes bought the property. Later on, he would sell the property to the City of Hamilton. It was renovated, restored and appointed as a National Site of Canada.

5. Sir George Etienne Cartier House Museum

Another of Canada's National Historic Sites is the house of Sir George-Étienne Cartier. The place is now a historic house museum, commemorating Cartier's life and accomplishments. Nowadays, the house also has other adjoining houses, which features the architectural heritage of 19th-Century Montreal’s middle class.

The house is made up of adjacent houses: the 'west house' and the 'east house'. These houses were separate at first, but now they form one building. The 'west house' portrays the Cartier family's way of life during the 1960s, and an exhibit can be found on the 'east house' which showcases the life of Sir George-Étienne Cartier. Sir George-Étienne Cartier was a prominent man of his time, as a politician and a middle-class Montrealer.

Sir George-Étienne Cartier House showcases the work and career of one of the Fathers of Confederation. It's also a great example of a neoclassical building that went through modifications.

The house museum can be found on the northeast edge of the Old Montreal district. It was appointed as a Canadian National Historic Site in 1964. The house was recognized because of the architectural importance and historical value.

6. Park House Museum

When you go to Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada, then you should go to Park House Museum, a historic house museum that was built in Detroit in 1796. However, in 1799, it was moved to Amherstburg.

The house has had plenty of owners, but only the Park Family is widely-recognized. The Park Family lived in this house for 102 years.

The Rotary Club of Amherstburg would buy the property in 1972. It was renovated, and became a local history museum, portraying how it was in the 1850s.

Park House Museum was built by a British loyalist near the Rouge River in 1796. The owner went to Malden when the American Revolution was over. Two years later, in 1798, it was disassembled and moved, with the help of a canoe. The property was built back up again in Amherstburg on the 17th Lot, Dalhousie St., and it would stay there for the next 173 years.

Through a draw, the lot was awarded and given to Leigh, Duff, and Shepherd. Captain Hector McLean, Fort Malden's Commanding officer, chose to give it to Nancy, a schooner, instead. Nancy's owner held the property.

In 1817, the property was bought by Alexander Mackintosh. Soon after, however, in 1823, Jean Baptists Macon bought the property. Macon, who was a famous merchant, hired the Park brothers as clerks - and in 1839, Thomas F. Park bought the house. He lent it to Theodore Jones Park, Thomas's younger brother.

After Theodore Jones Park died, John R. Park, his younger brother, bought the property. The son of Theodore, Dr. Theodore James Park, lived in the house after that. And when he died, Lizzie, his sister, owned the property.

The property changed hands multiple times afterwards. Nowadays, though, it's educating everyone about day-to-day living in the 1850s. The Park House Museum was appointed as a National Historic Site on October 4, 2018.

7. McCrae House

One of Canada's Historic Sites is the McCrae House. It can be found in the birthplace of John McCrae in Guelph, Ontario. John McCrae is a soldier, doctor, and the author of "In Flanders Fields".

McCrae House is a small limestone cottage that is owned by the McCrae family. It was first built in 1858, and the McCrae family stayed there from 1870 until 1873. The property changed hands multiple times, until a group of Guelph citizens bought it in 1966. They created the Lt. Col. John McCrae Birthplace Society, and raised money to restore the house.

Every year, the house offers a different theme. It has temporary and permanent exhibition spaces, which showcase the life of John McCrae. The house was appointed as a place of national significance by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board. John McCrae was also appointed as a person of national significance.

8. Manoir Papineau

The Papineau family stayed in the Manoir Papineau from 1850 to 1929. Manoir Papineau is now being operated by Parks Canada. In 1993, Parks Canada were appointed as its custodians, and they opened it to the public.

Manoir Papineau is considered to be one of the Ottawa River region's most important heritage locations. The property was built to remember Louis-Joseph Papineau, who was one of the leading politicians of the 19th Century, and was the first leader of the French-Canadian nationalists. Later on, he became La Petite-Nation's first seigneur.

The house was built when Papineau came back to Canada, after he had been exiled to Europe. And he and his family lived here, in the house, until he died. Generations of his family continued to live in the house until the 1920s.

9. Maison Cartier

One of the most historic houses in Montreal is Maison Cartier. In Old Montreal, you can find the Maison Cartier, which is also appointed as a Canadian National Historic Site. It was appointed as a National Historic Site back on November 19, 1982.

The Maison Cartier was built from 1812 to 1813. Amiable Amiot dit Villeneuve, a mason, and Antoine Bouteiller, a carpenter, constructed the house. The walls and the dormers on the roof are made of ashlar. They are great examples of the 19th Century's urban architecture of Quebec. Augustin Perrault and Louis Parthenais were the first owners of the Maison Cartier.

Maison Cartier can be found in one of the most colorful areas in Montreal, The Village. Its interior design is heavily inspired from Art Deco's style and elegance. Each room has its own terrace or balcony, allowing you to enjoy the view of the city. If you want to enjoy Montreal, then you should definitely visit Maison Cartier.

10. Château Dufresne

One of the most historic places in Canada is Château Dufresne, a historic house in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve's borough. Oscar Dufresne and Marius Dufresne, two French-Canadian entrepreneurs who had huge involvements in the Maisonneuve's history, stayed at this house for a time.

Originally, the place was parted into two different houses - one for each Dufresne. The Dufresne family would later sell the property to the Congregation of the Holy Cross, who would use it as the Holy Cross College's pavilion annex.

In 1957, the City of Montreal became the new owner of the property. However, until 1961, Holy Cross College stayed as a tenant. Then, from 1965 to 1968, the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art was the tenant. From 1976 to 1997, the mansion's tenant was the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts. And the Château Dufresne Museum has been staying in the property from 1999 up until now. In 2014, the property was renamed “Dufresne-Nincheri Museum”.

Marius Dufresne and Jules Renard designed the property in the style of the Beaux-Arts. It was appointed as a historic monument by the provincial government in 1976.

New from Robert Daniels on 812 Film Reviews: 812filmreviews Best Documentaries of 2019

Last week, I released my list of the 25 Best Feature films of 2019. There, I explained that I typically do a separate rundown for documentaries. I have found that most who choose to include both forms of filmmaking in their end of the year lists tend to only include two or three entries for docs. The rest are naturally shortchanged in lieu of narrative features. Rather than make such a grave error, I made another rundown solely for documentaries.

And for good reason. 2019 witnessed stories covering a soul legend, space explorers, a honey maker, sexual predators, an ambulance chasing family, and a tragic death. I couldn’t imagine not highlighting every single one of these singular films. Here, are the Best Documentaries of 2019.

Amazing Grace

In 1972, Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa and Tootsie) was enlisted for a once in a lifetime opportunity. Accompanied by the Southern California Community Choir, the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin recorded her live album Amazing Grace at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles. Pollack came to record the event for a later concert film. However, technical errors caused the audio to separate from its images. Much as he tried, the famed director couldn’t rectify his mistake. It took decades before editor Jeff Buchanan to retool the footage. The result, transports us back into time to witness an artist at the height of her powers, and for us to shout “praise be.”

Where to watch: Hulu

Apollo 11

I caught Apollo 11 at the tail end of Sundance 2019. By that point, the festival was ablaze with excitement for the film. Usually I chalk up such enthusiasm as festival hype, but Todd Douglas Miller’s Apollo 11 is far more. Another instance of salvaging and restoring footage, the 70mm film follows Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins on their journey from earth to the moon. Without interviews or recreations, the editing by Miller makes for an exhilarating journey and a triptych portrait of a time gone by: from fashions to hopes, to unbridled confidence.

Where to watch: Amazon Prime ($3.99)

Black Mother

With 2015’s Field Niggas, Khalik Allah seemed to rewrite the rules of cinema in a poetic rendering of Harlem street life. However, his follow-up Black Mother confirms the director as a visionary in the medium. Set in Jamaica, the highly personal film (Allah is of Jamaican descent) is as much an ode to the people of the island, than as an individual’s search for identity, and an immersive examination of the country’s history. Lyrical and spiritual, Black Mothers wanders through the travails of Jamaica’s Black women—some of them sex workers, as they negotiate prices and receive ultrasounds. Allah’s filmic essay documents a struggle against arduous economic circumstances, along with a deeply moving religiosity, which communes with gorgeous shots of the Jamaican landscape for an evocative yet powerful reconstruction of Black existence.

Where to watch: Criterion Channel

The Black Godfather

Kingmakers are rare today. Before partisan political maps, 24/7 news coverage, and the internet, influencers could raise unknowns to grand political and artistic heights. One of the rare remaining examples is Clarence Avant—founder of Sussex and Taboo records, concert promoter for Michael Jackson, and fund-raiser for Democratic politicians. In The Black Godfather, Reginald Hudlin follows the straight-talking expletive-spitting “Godfather of Black music” as he recounts his life and witnesses his influence. More than a profile of a behind the scenes legend, the film demonstrates the continual need and joy that comes from Black men and women raising each other up.

Where to watch: Netflix

The Cave

At AFI Fest, I declared the Syrian filmmaker Feras Fayyad (Last Men in Aleppo) the most important documentarian of his generation. With America interested in the region yet disinterested in its people, Fayyad has consistently provided one of the few eyewitness testimonials of a silent tragedy. This time, he profiles Amani Ballor —a female doctor and head of a hospital in Ghouta. With medicine in short supply, and constant air raids from Russia, Amani must also contend with a still-sexist and religious definition of a woman’s role. Her strength and devotion to her patients, doctors, and nurses forces her to make the most of what’s available. To these ends, the hospital also operates in a makeshift cave. The result shows courageous men and women trying to help those in the most dire of needs even as the world doesn’t seem to be listening.

For Sama

Like The Cave, Waad Al-Kateab and Edward Watts’ For Sama is a brutal unflinching look inside the Syrian War. An intimate documentary, Waad dutifully films herself over the course of five years: from marriage to the birth of her daughter, during the siege of Aleppo. A tale of resiliency, Waad captures moments of pure disrepair: the death of a child on an operating table, and instances of hope—the belief in a cause. She also documents a burgeoning revolution, passionate protests for freedom, and the final embers of its fire snuffed out through betrayal. Determined, touching, and sobering Waad elucidates how a country descends into horror—and the multiple ways its citizens try to hold their lives and their nation together.

Honeyland

In a remote village of North Macedonia exists Hatidze Muratova, a beekeeper living in another era. Between the ruins of homes, she lives with her 85-year old bedridden mother. Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov’s Honeyland sees Muratova’s way of life threatened as outsiders begin to encroach upon her tiny village. Human greed, loss, and an apathetic mother nature nearly break Muratova in this poignant film about surviving through perseverance—even when the honey turns sour.

Leaving Neverland

Revered as the “King of Pop,” Michael Jackson lived a life that seemed outside the bounds of reality. Wildly famous, incredibly rich, and extremely guarded, any peak into his existence felt performative. In this regard, there was no greater nor more horrifying stage than Neverland Ranch, a theme park and compound that espoused all of Jackson’s cruelly ironic fantasies. Even so, his secrets unraveled when he twice went through sexual molestation trials (1994 and 2005). Dan Reed through the testimonies of Wade Robson and James Safechuck exposes Jackson’s acts of grooming, manipulation, and statutory rape with two young boys in a two-part documentary that serves as an uneasy study of a sexual predator that’ll make you never want to listen to another Michael Jackson song again.

Love, Antosha

On June 19, 2016, Anton Yelchin’s jeep rolled down his driveway and unsuspectingly pinned him against a pillar resulting in the end of his life. While it might sound vacuous to say loss and grief are never easy, when tragedy strikes at 27 the statement rings devastatingly true. In this regard, Garret Price’s Love, Antosha is a thoughtful memorial to the young performer. Featuring interviews with friends and co-stars, the film recounts the actor’s struggles with cystic fibrosis as he crafted his promising career. While Price mines personal stories that reflect the unique and brilliant individual Yelchin was, the most poignant moments arrive through interviewing the performer’s still heartbroken parents. Love, Antosha isn’t just a film about a talented actor’s untimely death, it’s about the grief that accompanies the loss of a son and a friend.

Midnight Family

In Mexico City, there are many independent ambulance drivers, all racing to the next accident. If they’re lucky enough to find someone in need, they can take them to an independent hospital where they receive a reward. I had worried that Midnight Family would be forgotten after Sundance 2019. Thankfully, the Academy Awards shortlisted Luke Lorentzen’s harrowing but conflicting portrait of a family operating a private ambulance in the heart of Mexico City for their Best Documentary Feature category. The Ochoas are the perfection subjects for the film because they’re uniquely aware of how their precarious financial situation and business might be dangerous to their patients too. But in an economically desperate environment, which offers few alternatives, they work to survive to the next day. Heroes and profiteers at once, Lorentzen documents the difficult results of economic disparity through the Ochoas in an incredible moralistic crucible.

One Child Nation

From 1979 to 2015, in an effort to curb rampant population growth, China instituted the one-child policy. For fear of forced-sterilization by the government, families who conceived more than one child would either need to abandon or abort them. In a defiance of censorship and government intimidation with One Child Nation Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang interview family members, former-party officials, and parents affected by the decree. Graphic and distressing, Wang discovers lost generations hidden in the policy’s victims, for a startling picture of state-sanctioned murder.

Surviving R. Kelly

Leaving Neverland wasn’t the only film that exposed a molester. Like Jackson, R. Kelly’s history of grooming and statuary rape (in this case of underage women) was widely known. In 2002, the singer was charged with multiple counts of child pornography but it 2008 was acquitted on every charged. Moreover, in 2017 there were allegations of Kelly running a sex cult. It wasn’t until Nigel Bellis and Astral Finnie’s 6-part Lifetime docuseries that walls caved in on the singer. Multiple survivors spoke on record about Kelly’s abuses in a harrowing take down of a sexual predator. A flash point, Surviving R. Kelly demonstrates the power of a documentary to institute change,

The Beginning Years of The Nyack Hospital 

 by Evelyn Cherecwich

  “South of the Mountains” Vol. 39, No. 2 ; 1995 

 Nyack Hospital opened its heart and doors for service in 1895. Its mission was to provide comprehensive health care necessary to meet the needs of Nyack and other growing Rockland munici­palities. 

 The project to establish a hospital in Nyack developed slowly. In August 1891, two or three gentlemen, speak­ing informally, decided that it might be a good idea to have some place where the sick poor could adequately be taken care of. 

The matter was talked of from time to time, but no action was taken until November 1894. No doubt the hurricane and typhus epidemic of 1893 were influ­encing factors. Twenty prominent residents of the Nyacks met at the South Nyack home of Dr. Edward Oatman to form a corporation to be called “The Nyack Hospital.” The gentlemen who attended, and thus became the “Incorporators,” were Judge Arthur S. Tompkins, Charles A. Chapman, Stephen R. Bradley, George M. Hard, Augustus M. Voorhis, William Dewey, Clarence Lexow, M. Watson DeBaun, Enoch C. Bell, Albert E. Duryea, Howard Van Buren, William B. Conrad, Gilbert H. Crawford and Drs. George A. Mursick, John G. Dorrance, Gerrit F. Blauvelt, Edward H. Maynard, J. 0. Polhemus, Edward L. Oatman and Charles D. Kine. 

 The objectives of the corporation were to erect, establish, maintain and operate a general hospital for the reception, care, maintenance of and the administration of medical and sur­gical advice, aid and treatment to per­sons afflicted with maladies or physi­cal injuries, and to establish a free dispensary. The system of practice and treatment utilized by physicians of the recognized School of Medicine and Surgery was to be used. The term of duration for the cor­poration was stated as 50 years. Since a site for the hospital had not been selected, the application for incorporation stated it would be “located in the Town of Orangetown and Town of Clarkstown in the Coun­ty of Rockland, State of New York,” thus allowing a site to be selected in any one of the Nyacks. Complying with the requirement calling for the names of a board of managers, the incorporators elected nine members. They were Messrs. Hard, Bradley, Van Buren, Bell, Crawford and Drs. Oatman, Blauvelt, Maynard and Polhemus.

In RDA, the relationship designator commentator is defined as:

A performer contributing to an expression of a work by providing interpretation, analysis, or a discussion of the subject matter on a recording, film, or other audiovisual medium.

I tend to think of the word as referring to someone providing live / running commentary of events (as a news or sports commentator), but the term seems slightly more general, as used in this record:
