New Firearms Law Takes Effect Monday National Park Service News Release WASHINGTON – A change in federal law effective Monday, February 22, allows firearms in many national parks. People who can legally possess firearms under federal and state law can now possess those firearms in the national parks in that state. The new law (Sec. 512 of P.L. 111-24) was passed by Congress and signed last May by the President. Prior to February 22, firearms have generally been prohibited in national parks – except in some Alaska parks and those parks that allow hunting. State and local firearms laws vary. Visitors who would like to bring a firearm with them to a national park need to understand and comply with the applicable laws. More than 30 national parks are located in more than one state, so visitors need to know where they are in those parks and which state’s law applies. "For nearly 100 years, the mission of the National Park Service has been to protect and preserve the parks and to help all visitors enjoy them," National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis said. "We will administer this law as we do all others – fairly and consistently." Federal law continues to prohibit the possession of firearms in designated "federal facilities" in national parks, for example, visitor centers, offices, or maintenance buildings. These places are posted with "firearms prohibited" signs at public entrances. The new law also does not change prohibitions on the use of firearms in national parks and does not change hunting regulations. Park websites have been updated to include links to state firearms laws to help visitors understand the law and plan accordingly. -NPS- Sec. 512 of P.L. 111-24, an amendment to the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act of 2009, also directs the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to follow state and local firearms laws in national wildlife refuges. Local Elementary Students Build Common Ground through Quilting Release date: April 1, 2010 Topeka –Fourth graders from Williams Science and Fine Arts Magnet School are making history and art through one of America’s most valued, iconic, and revered traditional crafts --- quilting. Working with local quilt guilds and park rangers from Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site, students are designing and creating quilt blocks that depict stories related to the Brown v. Board of Education case. The students will be working on the quilt at the site on Tuesday, April 6, 2010 from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. The project is collaboration between the five National Park Service units in Kansas, local elementary schools, and quilting guilds within each park community. The project is entitled “Building Common Ground through the Quilts of Many Hands” and is funded by a National Park Foundation grant. Park rangers from each of the five National Park Service sites in Kansas and local quilting guilds will work collaboratively with fourth and fifth grade students. First, students will learn how stories are told through quilts in a workshop. After visiting the local park site, each student will compose a one-page story or essay describing his or her quilt block and the story which the block represents. Each student will then design and fabricate a 12-inch quilt block with the assistance of local quilt guilds and park rangers. The blocks will depict a story relating to the school’s local park site. Once the blocks are complete, the guilds will help students tie the quilts together, photograph the final project, and briefly display the quilts at the local schools. From June through August, the completed quilts will go on tour and be displayed at each of the five National Park Service sites in Kansas: Nicodemus National Historic Site, Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site, Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Fort Scott National Historic Site, and Fort Larned National Historic Site. Visitors will be able to see the children’s quilts and vote on their favorite. All participating students will receive prizes; however, the quilt receiving the most votes will be awarded a grand prize and honored with a formal presentation at the winning school in September. In Topeka, two fourth-grade classes from Williams Science and Fine Arts Magnet School are participating in the project. Park Ranger Joan Wilson, quilt artist Marla Jackson, and the Country Quilters guild are leading the project, helping students create quilt blocks that depict stories of attending segregated schools in Topeka. “After seeing the children’s creations,” said Joan Wilson, “I feel safe in calling them ‘Young Artists.’ They have interpreted and captured a significant page in American history which will be preserved through this quilt project. Each child made a personal connection to the five cases in the Brown v. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court decision and this was evident in the work they produced. It was truly inspiring working with every student.” The project seeks to engage students with local artists in the community and the rich heritage preserved by the National Park Service. Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site tells the story of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that ended legal segregation in public schools. The site is located at 1515 SE Monroe Street in Topeka, Kansas, and is open free of charge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with the exceptions of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s days.

Brown Henderson, founder and long-time President and Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit Brown Foundation for Educational Equity, Excellence and Research, as the next Superintendent of the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka, Kansas. She replaces Dennis A. Vasquez, who served as Superintendent for 5 years before transferring to Washington, D.C., in August 2009. Brown Henderson’s tenure at the park begins June 6, 2010. “Cheryl Brown Henderson was instrumental in developing the concept of and the actual designation of the Monroe Elementary School as the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site, and her strong communication skills and proven ability to work with a wide variety of constituency groups affiliated with the Brown story will be great assets at the site,” said Ernest Quintana, the National Park Service’s director for the 13-state Midwest Region. “She has an enviable record of building community support for this park at the local, regional, and national levels, and understands the importance of engaging all stakeholders,” he added. Brown Henderson said of this new opportunity, “Because Brown v. Board of Education is a living decision that continues to influence how we live in a diverse society, I look forward to creating greater awareness of this historic site and to expanding our educational outreach. Our story is taught in classrooms from elementary school to graduate school.” In 1972, Brown Henderson began her professional career as a 6th Grade Classroom Teacher with the Topeka Public Schools. Her first teaching assignment was at Monroe Elementary School, now preserved as the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site. She also taught 6th grade at Avondale East Elementary School before becoming a Guidance Counselor and Parent Educator for the school system in 1976. From 1979 to 1994, Brown Henderson served as an Educational Program Specialist for the Kansas Department of Education. She assumed responsibility for coordinating gender equity programs across the State at the secondary, post secondary, and graduate levels, which included administering Federal funds to promote the enrollment of women and girls in programs not considered traditional for female students. Brown Henderson also developed programs to better acquaint educators and educational administrators with the legal and social implications of working to insure women and girls access to vocational training opportunities previously provided only to male students. She also planned and sponsored statewide educational conferences and conducted presentations nationally on various aspects of vocational education. Brown Henderson founded the principal partner for the park, The Brown Foundation, in October 1988 to further the tenants of the Brown v. Board of Education decision by initiating, implementing, and supporting educational programs that invest in children, enhance multi-cultural understanding, increase literacy among children from low-income communities, increase the pool of minority teachers for classrooms across the nation, develop curriculum resources to enhance the teaching of Brown v. Board of Education in the context of the Civil Rights Movement, produce exhibits and gather oral histories to illustrate the detailed history of Brown v. Board of Education in the context of the African American experience in the United States, and convene conferences and conduct presentations that foster the value and acceptance of racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity. Brown Henderson earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education, with a minor in Mathematics, through Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. She went on to earn her Masters of Science in Guidance and Counseling from Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas. Brown Henderson also holds an Honorary Doctorate of Human Letters from Washburn University in Topeka. Brown Henderson has received countless awards and recognition for her work to preserve the legacy of the Brown decision. Her articles and essays about the Brown decision have been published in several books. She has also written curriculum guides and has lectured in the classrooms on more than 200 university campuses and in 2001 delivered a talk about the Brown decision while traveling in South Africa. As a member of the namesake family and President and CEO of The Brown Foundation, Brown Henderson served on and provided invaluable direction to the 2003/2004 Brown v. Board of Education 50th Anniversary Presidential Commission. She has served on numerous civic and philanthropic boards and foundations, as well as the boards of the Kansas State Historical Society and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Brown Henderson has also testified before the U.S. House of Representatives and the United States Senate on women’s issues and the Brown v. Board of Education decision.

During the 1930s, the Resettlement Administration of the New Deal gave landless sharecroppers the opportunity to buy their own farms. Roanoke Farms in Tillery was one of a handful of resettlement projects for African Americans. Its families overcame the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow to earn their part of the American Dream. They and their successors continue to battle racism, assaults on their environment, farm foreclosures, and natural disasters. Gary R. Grant is the 2010 Washburn University Oliver L.

Saturday Night at the Downbeat with Mariachi Habanero Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month Release date: September 27, 2010 Topeka – Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an evening of mariachi music featuring Topeka's own Mariachi Habanero at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 9, 2010.

Seating is limited. Mariachi Habanero lives up to its name, performing lively dance music mixed with an occasional mellow ballad. The group borrowed its name from the habanero pepper, which is the spiciest type of chili pepper. Mariachi music began in the nineteenth century in the Mexican state of Jalisco-according to popular legend-in the town of Cocula. It was the music of country people; music that celebrated the joys, the struggles, and the triumphs of the Mexican people. The evening event will also commemorate the 45th anniversary of the Delano Grape Strike in California. In September of 1965, Filipino and Mexican farm workers went on strike against area grape growers. Eventually becoming the United Farm Workers, the workers and organizers brought national attention to the condition of America's farm workers through nonviolent community organizing, strikes, marches, and boycotts. The efforts of these individuals, including Cesar Chavez, eventually led to the first labor contracts between the United Farm Workers and grape growers. Dr. Ruben Flores, Assistant Professor of American Studies at the University of Kansas, will kick off the evening's event by speaking about the role Hispanic activists played in the development of the United Farm Workers. In addition to the special event on October 9, the park will feature a temporary exhibit titled: Those Who Came Before: Mexican Americans in Kansas 1900-1950. This exhibit explores the jobs that brought most early Mexican workers to Kansas, including sugar beet production and working on the railroads. The culture and traditions of Mexican Americans are also highlighted including fiesta, the Quinceañera, and Las Posadas. The exhibit will be displayed from October 2 to November 6, 2010. The exhibit is free and open to the public daily. The exhibit and concert are co-sponsored by Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site and the Brown Foundation and are part of the 2010-2011 program series titled Commemorating Our Nation's Struggle for Freedom: From Civil War to Civil Rights.

"I am stepping down to focus on working with those from Delaware, Kansas, Virginia, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C., who were part of Brown v. Board of Education and are still living, as well as the descendents of those who are deceased. With the passage of time it has become increasingly important to engage them in writing and lecturing about their lives in order to preserve the first person accounts of their unparalleled role in the history of our nation.
