Arthur MacArthur (1845-1912) and Mary Pinkney Hardy (1852-1935). His siblings were Arthur (1876-1923), and Malcolm (1878-1883), who died before his seventh birthday. ","Douglas MacArthur graduated from West Texas Military Academy in 1897 as valedictorian and two years later entered West Point.  In 1903 he graduated as First Captain, West Point's highest honor.  In September 1903, he joined the 3rd Battalion Engineers in San Francisco, and almost immediately was sent to Manila, Philippines. The next year he was promoted to First Lieutenant, and in 1906 returned to the United States.  After being made Captain of Engineers at Leavenworth in 1911, MacArthur was assigned to Vera Cruz to report information to the War Department.  While serving as military aide to the Secretary of War in 1916, he conceived the idea of expanding the existing National Guard through volunteer enlistment and turned into combat divisions - an idea that would be used for the formation of the 42nd Division. ","In 1917, MacArthur was appointed Colonel and Chief of Staff of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division.  As Commander of the 84th Infantry Brigade, he led his troops during the vitally important Argonne Campaign in the last months of the war.  In 1919, the 42nd Division returned to the United States, and MacArthur accepted an appointment as Superintendent of West Point.  While there, he became permanent Brigadier General.  MacArthur married Louise Cromwell Brooks in 1922, the year he was posted to command the Philippine Division, but they divorced seven years later. In November 1929, MacArthur was promoted to General and chosen as the man to replace General Summerall as the Chief of Staff, U.S. Army.  In 1937, MacArthur married a second time - to Jean Marie Faircloth, and they had a son, Arthur, a year later. ","In December 1941, the Japanese Army attacked and defeated MacArthur's Philippine Army on the Bataan Peninsula.  The following March, MacArthur was ordered from the Philippines to command the Allied troops with Thomas Blamey.  For six months, MacArthur concentrated on the defense of New Guinea, which led to an ambitious counter-attack in January and February 1943.  On the day the Japanese surrendered, MacArthur was appointed Supreme Commander of Allied Powers. ","MacArthur remained in occupied Japan until 1950, orchestrating the reformation of the post-war country.  On the 29th of June, 1950, MacArthur went to South Korea with American forces to assess the situation after North Korea's invasion of South Korea.  This assessment led to Truman's commitment of U.S. troops to a ground war in Korea.  The North Koreans abandoned Seoul on September 28, 1950, after MacArthur's successful military plan to attack through Inchon.  As a result of the success of this campaign, China decided to enter the Korean War.  MacArthur was ordered by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with a U.N. resolution, to proceed north of the 38th parallel.  Chinese troops attacked, leading to the withdrawal of MacArthur's troops back south of the 38th.  By this time, MacArthur had disobeyed the military order to employ only Korean forces in the frontier provinces.

On April 19 he presented his case regarding his relief of command to a joint session of congress.

At the age of 84, on April 5, 1964, Douglas MacArthur died in a hospital in Washington.","The 42nd (Rainbow) Division","The Rainbow Division was created in 1917 as a composite division of members of the Regular Army and the National Guard solely for use in the war in Europe.  The 42nd arrived in Europe in 1917 as the war was entering a new phase: Russia had dropped out of the war, America was joining the war, and Germany was racing to provide tremendous reinforcement before the American forces arrived. ","In February 1918 the 42nd Division, part of the First U.S. Army Corps, was ordered to the Luneville area for a month of training with French units from the 7th French Army Corps.  While there, the Rainbow Division distinguished itself as \"a first class combat Division.\" ","The first assignment for the 42nd was to relieve the 128th French Infantry Division from the Baccarat Sector.  In the war, this was the first time an American Division held a Sector on its own.  The Division successfully held the Baccarat Sector until relief orders were sent on June 16, 1918.  Two weeks later, the 42nd Division went to the front at the Battle of Champagne alongside the 21st French Army Corps.  After an attack by the Germans on the fifteenth of July, the 42nd assisted in the Champagne defense until the end of the battle (July 18).  The Sixth French Army Corps was given the Rainbow Division to pursue the supposedly retreating enemy at the Battle of the Ourcq from July 25-July 27, 1918. From July 28-August 1st, the Allies captured strongpoints of the German position.  August 2-August 3rd, the 42nd Division assisted in pursuing the enemy until relieved by the 4th Regular Division. ","After the Battle of the Ourcq, Douglas MacArthur was given command of the 84th Infantry Brigade (William Hughes, Jr., replaced him as Chief of Staff, 42nd Division).  In September, the Rainbow Division, then under the 4th American Army Corps, was ordered to attack the center of the south side of the San Mihiel Salient and was assigned to the defense of the Essey-Pannes Sector until September 30, when it was relieved by the 89th Division. ","On October 11-12, 1918, the Rainbow Division relieved the 1st Division on the Verdun front.  In order to break the 2nd German line of defense, the hill called The Cote de Chatillon had to be taken.  From October 13-16, Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur commanded the 84th Infantry Division to the successful capture of Hill 288 (a strongly fortified point on the Kreimhilde Stellung), the Tuilerie Ferme, and the Cote de Chatillon (beyond the enemy's strong line of resistance). ","The next attack took place November 1, 1918.  The 42nd Division provided machine gun fire for the advancement of the 2nd and 89th Divisions.  After this victory, and as a result of divisional rivalry (and a difference in opinion as to the exact nature of a memorandum), the 42nd and the 1st Divisions (of the First American Army Corps and the 5th American Army Corps respectively) 'raced' for the glory of partaking in the (potential) final engagement of the war, in Sedan.  On November 6-7, the Rainbow, the 4th French Army, and the 1st and 77th American Divisions, fought south of the Meuse (south of Sedan).  The fighting ended when the enemy requested an armistice on November 9, 1918.  The 42nd Division backed off and was able to claim that the Americans who got closest to Sedan were members of the 166th Infantry of the 83rd Infantry Brigade.  The armistice was signed two days later. ","The 42nd Division remained in France and occupied Germany until May 1, 1919, when the last unit arrived home. Less than two weeks later, the last Brigade was demobilized. ","The MacArthur collection contains 885 letters, documents, photographs, and published works dating from March 23, 1885, to July 5, 1983. The bulk of the material (710 items) consists of military documents and manuscript notes from September 8, 1917 to January 27, 1919.  ","The military materials include general orders, field orders, field messages, memoranda, intelligence, and communications, related to the U.S. 42nd Division (The Rainbow Division), A.E.F., founded in 1917.  The majority of the collection falls during the period of time from late 1917 to early August 1918, when Douglas MacArthur was Chief of Staff for the 42nd Division.  Documents from military units that fought alongside the 42nd Division (both French and American), the U.S. Chemical Warfare, and the Intelligence Divisions -- as well as various German, French, and American communications -- are included.  Organizational documents, such as training schedules, and march tables, are also present.  A considerable number, if not all, of these materials must have been approved or viewed by MacArthur, and many of the items in this collection bear his initials or the initials of his information assistant, William Hughes, Jr.  From early August 1918 until the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, MacArthur acted as the commanding officer for the 84th Infantry Brigade, and several military orders bear his name. ","Seventy-six letters in the collection (located in Box 1) are either from Douglas MacArthur or pertain in some way to him.  Six of these items, dated 1904, pertain to MacArthur and Florence Adams, whom he met in the Philippines, including a 46-page diary MacArthur wrote to Adams while he was on board a ship from Manila to the United States.  Five letters, dated 1921 and 1925, are written by MacArthur to Louise Brooks who became Mrs. Douglas MacArthur in 1922.  These letters contain both romantic content as well as personal reflections on the events in MacArthur's life at the time.  Also included are nine letters from MacArthur to Hamilton Fish, Jr., dated 1921-1934.  The remainder of the correspondence is a miscellaneous collection of letters written by Douglas MacArthur, Jean MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Harry S. Truman, and others.","The Douglas MacArthur collection also contains a notebook kept by Kenneth A. Sutherland, veteran of the 42nd Division, which contains a selection of items related to the Division's post-war activities and reunions; 40 aerial photographs and negatives taken by the 91st Reconnaissance Squadron, October 10, 1918; several photographs of Douglas MacArthur; thirteen published works by or about the General; and other miscellaneous materials.","The Douglas MacArthur collection is made up of military documents related to General Douglas MacArthur and the 42nd (Rainbow) Division during the first World War, and miscellaneous letters, documents, photographs, published works, and one diary illuminating various aspects of the General's public career and personal life.","William L.

The 42nd arrived in Europe in 1917 as the war was entering a new phase: Russia had dropped out of the war, America was joining the war, and Germany was racing to provide tremendous reinforcement before the American forces arrived. ","In February 1918 the 42nd Division, part of the First U.S. Army Corps, was ordered to the Luneville area for a month of training with French units from the 7th French Army Corps.  While there, the Rainbow Division distinguished itself as \"a first class combat Division.\" ","The first assignment for the 42nd was to relieve the 128th French Infantry Division from the Baccarat Sector.  In the war, this was the first time an American Division held a Sector on its own.  The Division successfully held the Baccarat Sector until relief orders were sent on June 16, 1918.  Two weeks later, the 42nd Division went to the front at the Battle of Champagne alongside the 21st French Army Corps.  After an attack by the Germans on the fifteenth of July, the 42nd assisted in the Champagne defense until the end of the battle (July 18).  The Sixth French Army Corps was given the Rainbow Division to pursue the supposedly retreating enemy at the Battle of the Ourcq from July 25-July 27, 1918. From July 28-August 1st, the Allies captured strongpoints of the German position.  August 2-August 3rd, the 42nd Division assisted in pursuing the enemy until relieved by the 4th Regular Division. ","After the Battle of the Ourcq, Douglas MacArthur was given command of the 84th Infantry Brigade (William Hughes, Jr., replaced him as Chief of Staff, 42nd Division).  In September, the Rainbow Division, then under the 4th American Army Corps, was ordered to attack the center of the south side of the San Mihiel Salient and was assigned to the defense of the Essey-Pannes Sector until September 30, when it was relieved by the 89th Division. ","On October 11-12, 1918, the Rainbow Division relieved the 1st Division on the Verdun front.  In order to break the 2nd German line of defense, the hill called The Cote de Chatillon had to be taken.  From October 13-16, Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur commanded the 84th Infantry Division to the successful capture of Hill 288 (a strongly fortified point on the Kreimhilde Stellung), the Tuilerie Ferme, and the Cote de Chatillon (beyond the enemy's strong line of resistance). ","The next attack took place November 1, 1918.  The 42nd Division provided machine gun fire for the advancement of the 2nd and 89th Divisions.  After this victory, and as a result of divisional rivalry (and a difference in opinion as to the exact nature of a memorandum), the 42nd and the 1st Divisions (of the First American Army Corps and the 5th American Army Corps respectively) 'raced' for the glory of partaking in the (potential) final engagement of the war, in Sedan.  On November 6-7, the Rainbow, the 4th French Army, and the 1st and 77th American Divisions, fought south of the Meuse (south of Sedan).  The fighting ended when the enemy requested an armistice on November 9, 1918.  The 42nd Division backed off and was able to claim that the Americans who got closest to Sedan were members of the 166th Infantry of the 83rd Infantry Brigade.  The armistice was signed two days later. ","The 42nd Division remained in France and occupied Germany until May 1, 1919, when the last unit arrived home. Less than two weeks later, the last Brigade was demobilized.

Jabara took an interest in Middle Eastern affairs throughout his youth and upon graduation from high school in 1958 decided to attend the University of Michigan, largely because the school offered courses in Arabic and had a prominent Arab student population. During his early undergraduate years Jabara determined that in order to learn the Arabic language properly he would have to immerse himself in that culture and so he spent five months living in Cairo, Egypt. He then journeyed by freighter to Lebanon to visit his father's village, where he met his uncle for the first time."," Upon returning from this trip, Jabara's focus centered more on the completion of his undergraduate education at Michigan than on Middle East issues. However, during his years of law school at Wayne State University in Detroit he gradually became more involved with civil rights issues and founded a local chapter of the Civil Rights Research Council. He graduated from law school in 1965 and returned to Lebanon to further develop his Arabic language skills through additional schooling."," Jabara returned to Detroit in 1966 to open his law practice. In 1967, the Arab-Israeli war and the anti-Arab sentiment it created prompted Jabara to become heavily involved with Arab-American issues. Academics of Arab heritage met at the University of Michigan to discuss the political situation and formed the Association of Arab-American University Graduates (AAUG) in 1968. The mission of the AAUG was to promote educational and cultural activities and information about the Arab world and the Arab-American community. Jabara served as the first executive secretary and was later elected president of the group in 1972."," In 1970, Jabara joined the law firm of Lafferty, Reosti, Jabara, Papakhian, Stickgold, James and Smith in Detroit. For the next decade and a half he would fight for the rights of Arabs living or traveling in the United States as well as political activists in general. He did so by challenging the practice of collecting information and maintaining surveillance of Arabs and Arab Americans by such institutions as the Detroit and Michigan State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Secretary of State. Jabara's own case against the FBI, for which he enlisted the help of the ACLU, finally ended in victory in 1984 with the FBI agreeing to destroy his file and acknowledging that collecting the information found within the file violated his constitutional rights."," Throughout his legal career Jabara would take on nationally prominent cases of Arabs and Arab-Americans. Such cases included Sirhan B. Sirhan, convicted in the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, and Ziad Abu Eain, wanted for extradition to Israel for a 1979 Palestine Liberation Organization bombing."," Jabara was also involved in the National Lawyer's Guild, an organization founded as an alternative to the more conservative American Bar Association. In 1977 he traveled to Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the Occupied Territories as part of the NLG's Middle East delegation to report on the condition and treatment of Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories. Jabara became president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in 1986. The ADC, founded by former Senator James Abourezk in 1980, devoted itself to the protection of the rights of people of Arab descent and promoting their cultural heritage.

Jabara was born in Mancelona, Michigan in 1940 to Lebanese parents who had immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century, eventually settling in northern Michigan. Jabara took an interest in Middle Eastern affairs throughout his youth and upon graduation from high school in 1958 decided to attend the University of Michigan, largely because the school offered courses in Arabic and had a prominent Arab student population. During his early undergraduate years Jabara determined that in order to learn the Arabic language properly he would have to immerse himself in that culture and so he spent five months living in Cairo, Egypt. He then journeyed by freighter to Lebanon to visit his father's village, where he met his uncle for the first time."," Upon returning from this trip, Jabara's focus centered more on the completion of his undergraduate education at Michigan than on Middle East issues. However, during his years of law school at Wayne State University in Detroit he gradually became more involved with civil rights issues and founded a local chapter of the Civil Rights Research Council. He graduated from law school in 1965 and returned to Lebanon to further develop his Arabic language skills through additional schooling."," Jabara returned to Detroit in 1966 to open his law practice. In 1967, the Arab-Israeli war and the anti-Arab sentiment it created prompted Jabara to become heavily involved with Arab-American issues. Academics of Arab heritage met at the University of Michigan to discuss the political situation and formed the Association of Arab-American University Graduates (AAUG) in 1968. The mission of the AAUG was to promote educational and cultural activities and information about the Arab world and the Arab-American community. Jabara served as the first executive secretary and was later elected president of the group in 1972."," In 1970, Jabara joined the law firm of Lafferty, Reosti, Jabara, Papakhian, Stickgold, James and Smith in Detroit. For the next decade and a half he would fight for the rights of Arabs living or traveling in the United States as well as political activists in general. He did so by challenging the practice of collecting information and maintaining surveillance of Arabs and Arab Americans by such institutions as the Detroit and Michigan State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Secretary of State. Jabara's own case against the FBI, for which he enlisted the help of the ACLU, finally ended in victory in 1984 with the FBI agreeing to destroy his file and acknowledging that collecting the information found within the file violated his constitutional rights."," Throughout his legal career Jabara would take on nationally prominent cases of Arabs and Arab-Americans. Such cases included Sirhan B. Sirhan, convicted in the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, and Ziad Abu Eain, wanted for extradition to Israel for a 1979 Palestine Liberation Organization bombing."," Jabara was also involved in the National Lawyer's Guild, an organization founded as an alternative to the more conservative American Bar Association. In 1977 he traveled to Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the Occupied Territories as part of the NLG's Middle East delegation to report on the condition and treatment of Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories. Jabara became president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in 1986. The ADC, founded by former Senator James Abourezk in 1980, devoted itself to the protection of the rights of people of Arab descent and promoting their cultural heritage. Jabara now (2002) works for the ADC Research Institute in Washington D.C. He recently worked as part of the defense team for Omar Ahmad Ali Abdel Rahman, accused of plotting to blow up New York City landmarks and the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Jabara resides in New York City."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[item], folder, box, Abdeen Jabara papers, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[item], folder, box, Abdeen Jabara papers, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe collection has been divided into two series: Litigation/Court Cases and Political and Cultural Activities.

Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n        materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n        1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n        are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n        Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n        the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n        estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n        business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n        correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n        assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n        Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n        advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n        President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n        purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n        Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n        (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n        Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n        Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n        number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n        were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n        (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n        offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n        Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n        autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n        post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n        constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n        asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n        Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n        by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n        written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n        former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n        request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n        requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the  Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n        and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n        are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n        his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n        interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n        Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n        Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n        involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n        For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n        David M.

Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n        materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n        1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n        are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n        Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n        the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n        estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n        business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n        correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n        assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n        Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n        advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n        President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n        purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n        Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n        (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n        Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n        Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n        number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n        were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n        (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n        offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n        Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n        autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n        post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n        constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n        asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n        Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n        by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n        written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n        former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n        request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n        requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the  Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n        and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n        are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n        his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n        interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n        Penitentiary.

He began his career as an architect by working at construction sites during his summer breaks from the University of Michigan, from 1937 through 1941. He then worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the MacArthur Lock in Sault St. Marie. Following Lane's graduation from the University of Michigan he served in World War II. He was in Louisiana for a short time, helping to supervise construction of a blimp hangar. He then began work as a Photo Interpretation officer and was part of the landing at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He also spent some time in Nagasaki after the atomic bomb. Upon returning he went to work as an architect for George Brigham in Ann Arbor. Brigham's office was divided into two areas, research and production. Lane was assigned to work in research as an architect for Brigham's Progressive Homes Corporation (PHC). The goal of PHC was to design a completely prefabricated home that could be erected in eight hours (with the footings already in place) for the price of $1500. Brigham began the company with funders that included Eugene Cassaroll of Dual Motors. Lane describes the other investors as \"auto people from Detroit.\" The investors disassociated Brigham from the research division when his pace of development did not move along as quickly as they had hoped. The head of PHC was Ira E. \"Mickey\" Gillen, a former production manager for Chrysler Motors."," Gillen and the investors acquired 100,000 square feet of space in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to manufacture their homes. Gillen arranged for the building supplies to come from a variety of companies across the U.S. In a reflection of Gillen's automotive background, he wanted the pieces of the houses brought to Arkansas and assembled as pieces of a car are brought to a central location to be assembled. Gillen set up dealerships for the houses in every state and in England, France and South America. In South America he had a contract for 10,000 homes and in California a naval station wanted 5,000 houses, if they were financed by the Federal Housing Administration. The first two manufactured homes were built in Indiana, then Wisconsin. At about the fifth or sixth house, the local authorities would not issue a building permit because the local plumbers union was against the use of stamped steel in the building. Gillen had the support of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) over the plumbers, but the FHA still would not finance the homes. This was the end of the company because no one would finance the building of the houses. Since 1947, 400 homes had come off of the assembly line. Those homes were built around Washington D.C. because of a contract the PHC had with the government, which the latter was forced to honor. By 1948, about 250 similar companies producing manufactured homes had sprung up around the United States."," After the failure of PHC, Lane went to work for the Walter Aneche firm in Ann Arbor; he worked at the firm from 1948 to 1952. Lane designed drawings for  Good Housekeeping  and schools in Michigan. In 1952 Lane established his own firm in Ann Arbor with architects Alex Riebe and Keith Weiland. Lane developed a 24 x 36 steel sheet that was repetitive and was used in about 400 schools in Michigan. Lane designed many schools and residences throughout Michigan with his firm. The firm was hired in the 1960s to design Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This was the largest, most unique school that he designed. He originally made 17 designs of the building, all which were rectangular in shape. In an effort to save money he created a circular design that reduced corridor space and cost. Lane was lauded for the unique design and budget reducing measures. In addition to the actual structure, Lane also made recommendations, which were followed, on where Huron Parkway should be placed."," In 1971, shortly after the completion of Huron High School, Lane left his firm to pursue his interest in manufactured housing. Alex Riebe moved the firm to Farmington, Michigan. Lane saw that many of the same obstacles remained, with the exception of the invention of the mobile home park. In the late 1960s Lane designed a mobile home park in Almont, Michigan which was unique because it had paved streets, parking, and landscaping.","The collection is arranged into five series, Brigham Building System, Lane Projects, Huron High School, Personal and World War II Military Service. The series include the many projects that Charles Wesley Lane worked on during his architectural career and some materials from his military service as well. The collection is composed of photographs, slides, microfilm, microfiche and prints. The researcher will be interested in the variety of architectural projects in which Lane was involved, which include schools, mobile homes, churches, and other types of structures. A small number of photographs of Nagasaki after the atomic bomb may also be of interest.","Copyright is held by the Regents of the University of Michigan but the collection may contain third-party materials for which copyright is not held.

He began his career as an architect by working at construction sites during his summer breaks from the University of Michigan, from 1937 through 1941. He then worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the MacArthur Lock in Sault St. Marie. Following Lane's graduation from the University of Michigan he served in World War II. He was in Louisiana for a short time, helping to supervise construction of a blimp hangar. He then began work as a Photo Interpretation officer and was part of the landing at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He also spent some time in Nagasaki after the atomic bomb. Upon returning he went to work as an architect for George Brigham in Ann Arbor. Brigham's office was divided into two areas, research and production. Lane was assigned to work in research as an architect for Brigham's Progressive Homes Corporation (PHC). The goal of PHC was to design a completely prefabricated home that could be erected in eight hours (with the footings already in place) for the price of $1500. Brigham began the company with funders that included Eugene Cassaroll of Dual Motors. Lane describes the other investors as \"auto people from Detroit.\" The investors disassociated Brigham from the research division when his pace of development did not move along as quickly as they had hoped. The head of PHC was Ira E. \"Mickey\" Gillen, a former production manager for Chrysler Motors."," Gillen and the investors acquired 100,000 square feet of space in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to manufacture their homes. Gillen arranged for the building supplies to come from a variety of companies across the U.S. In a reflection of Gillen's automotive background, he wanted the pieces of the houses brought to Arkansas and assembled as pieces of a car are brought to a central location to be assembled. Gillen set up dealerships for the houses in every state and in England, France and South America. In South America he had a contract for 10,000 homes and in California a naval station wanted 5,000 houses, if they were financed by the Federal Housing Administration. The first two manufactured homes were built in Indiana, then Wisconsin. At about the fifth or sixth house, the local authorities would not issue a building permit because the local plumbers union was against the use of stamped steel in the building. Gillen had the support of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) over the plumbers, but the FHA still would not finance the homes. This was the end of the company because no one would finance the building of the houses. Since 1947, 400 homes had come off of the assembly line. Those homes were built around Washington D.C. because of a contract the PHC had with the government, which the latter was forced to honor. By 1948, about 250 similar companies producing manufactured homes had sprung up around the United States."," After the failure of PHC, Lane went to work for the Walter Aneche firm in Ann Arbor; he worked at the firm from 1948 to 1952. Lane designed drawings for  Good Housekeeping  and schools in Michigan. In 1952 Lane established his own firm in Ann Arbor with architects Alex Riebe and Keith Weiland. Lane developed a 24 x 36 steel sheet that was repetitive and was used in about 400 schools in Michigan. Lane designed many schools and residences throughout Michigan with his firm. The firm was hired in the 1960s to design Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This was the largest, most unique school that he designed. He originally made 17 designs of the building, all which were rectangular in shape. In an effort to save money he created a circular design that reduced corridor space and cost. Lane was lauded for the unique design and budget reducing measures. In addition to the actual structure, Lane also made recommendations, which were followed, on where Huron Parkway should be placed."," In 1971, shortly after the completion of Huron High School, Lane left his firm to pursue his interest in manufactured housing. Alex Riebe moved the firm to Farmington, Michigan. Lane saw that many of the same obstacles remained, with the exception of the invention of the mobile home park. In the late 1960s Lane designed a mobile home park in Almont, Michigan which was unique because it had paved streets, parking, and landscaping.","The collection is arranged into five series, Brigham Building System, Lane Projects, Huron High School, Personal and World War II Military Service. The series include the many projects that Charles Wesley Lane worked on during his architectural career and some materials from his military service as well. The collection is composed of photographs, slides, microfilm, microfiche and prints. The researcher will be interested in the variety of architectural projects in which Lane was involved, which include schools, mobile homes, churches, and other types of structures. A small number of photographs of Nagasaki after the atomic bomb may also be of interest.","Copyright is held by the Regents of the University of Michigan but the collection may contain third-party materials for which copyright is not held.

Due to preservation concerns, some items were copied onto acid-free\n        paper and stamped as preservation copies. The originals were placed in mylar and are located\n        in Box 7. Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n        materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n        1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n        are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n        Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n        the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n        estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n        business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n        correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n        assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n        Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n        advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n        President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n        purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n        Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n        (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n        Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n        Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n        number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n        were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n        (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n        offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n        Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n        autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n        post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n        constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n        asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n        Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n        by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n        written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n        former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n        request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n        requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the  Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n        and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n        are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n        his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n        interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n        Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n        Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n        involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n        For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n        David M.

Jabara was born in Mancelona, Michigan in 1940 to Lebanese parents who had immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century, eventually settling in northern Michigan. Jabara took an interest in Middle Eastern affairs throughout his youth and upon graduation from high school in 1958 decided to attend the University of Michigan, largely because the school offered courses in Arabic and had a prominent Arab student population. During his early undergraduate years Jabara determined that in order to learn the Arabic language properly he would have to immerse himself in that culture and so he spent five months living in Cairo, Egypt. He then journeyed by freighter to Lebanon to visit his father's village, where he met his uncle for the first time."," Upon returning from this trip, Jabara's focus centered more on the completion of his undergraduate education at Michigan than on Middle East issues. However, during his years of law school at Wayne State University in Detroit he gradually became more involved with civil rights issues and founded a local chapter of the Civil Rights Research Council. He graduated from law school in 1965 and returned to Lebanon to further develop his Arabic language skills through additional schooling."," Jabara returned to Detroit in 1966 to open his law practice. In 1967, the Arab-Israeli war and the anti-Arab sentiment it created prompted Jabara to become heavily involved with Arab-American issues. Academics of Arab heritage met at the University of Michigan to discuss the political situation and formed the Association of Arab-American University Graduates (AAUG) in 1968. The mission of the AAUG was to promote educational and cultural activities and information about the Arab world and the Arab-American community. Jabara served as the first executive secretary and was later elected president of the group in 1972."," In 1970, Jabara joined the law firm of Lafferty, Reosti, Jabara, Papakhian, Stickgold, James and Smith in Detroit. For the next decade and a half he would fight for the rights of Arabs living or traveling in the United States as well as political activists in general. He did so by challenging the practice of collecting information and maintaining surveillance of Arabs and Arab Americans by such institutions as the Detroit and Michigan State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Secretary of State. Jabara's own case against the FBI, for which he enlisted the help of the ACLU, finally ended in victory in 1984 with the FBI agreeing to destroy his file and acknowledging that collecting the information found within the file violated his constitutional rights."," Throughout his legal career Jabara would take on nationally prominent cases of Arabs and Arab-Americans. Such cases included Sirhan B. Sirhan, convicted in the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, and Ziad Abu Eain, wanted for extradition to Israel for a 1979 Palestine Liberation Organization bombing."," Jabara was also involved in the National Lawyer's Guild, an organization founded as an alternative to the more conservative American Bar Association. In 1977 he traveled to Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the Occupied Territories as part of the NLG's Middle East delegation to report on the condition and treatment of Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories. Jabara became president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in 1986. The ADC, founded by former Senator James Abourezk in 1980, devoted itself to the protection of the rights of people of Arab descent and promoting their cultural heritage. Jabara now (2002) works for the ADC Research Institute in Washington D.C.

Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n        materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n        1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n        are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n        Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n        the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n        estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n        business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n        correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n        assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n        Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n        advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n        President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n        purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n        Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n        (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n        Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n        Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n        number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n        were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n        (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n        offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n        Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n        autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n        post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n        constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n        asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n        Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n        by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n        written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n        former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n        request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n        requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the  Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n        and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n        are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n        his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n        interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n        Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n        Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n        involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n        For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n        David M.
