Letter from Roger Baldwin, Director, American Civil Liberties Union, to Homer L. Morris, American Friends Service Committee, March 1, 1943
No full textLetter from Roger Baldwin to Homer L. Morris, regarding funds being raised by the American Friends Service Committee to support attorney Frank L. Walters argument of Gordon Hirabayashi's case in the Supreme Court. Baldwin quotes Joseph Conard's letter (chs_ms3580_0196) warning of Walters' poor performance representing Hirabayashi in the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. Baldwin writes: "I should think it would be wise now, in the event of an adverse decision which is expected, to see that somebody else than Mr. Walters argues the case in the Supreme Court. We should be very glad to make recommendations if you wish."The ACLU-Northern California case file records contain legal documents and correspondence pertaining to the case Ex parte Mitsuye Endo (1944), in which the United States Supreme court unanimously ruled that the federal government could not indefinitely detain United States citizens who were loyal to the government. Files include documents related to the Gordon Hirabayashi Supreme Court case Hirabayashi v. United States

A Political Companion to James Baldwin
Get PDFIn seminal works such as Go Tell It on the Mountain, Notes of a Native Son, and The Fire Next Time, acclaimed author and social critic James Baldwin (1924–1987) expresses his profound belief that writers have the power to transform society, to engage the public, and to inspire and channel conversation to achieve lasting change. While Baldwin is best known for his writings on racial consciousness and injustice, he is also one of the country\u27s most eloquent theorists of democratic life and the national psyche. In A Political Companion to James Baldwin, a group of prominent scholars assess the prolific author\u27s relevance to present-day political challenges. Together, they address Baldwin as a democratic theorist, activist, and citizen, examining his writings on the civil rights movement, religion, homosexuality, and women\u27s rights. They investigate the ways in which his work speaks to and galvanizes a collective American polity, and explore his views on the political implications of individual experience in relation to race and gender. This volume not only considers Baldwin\u27s works within their own historical context, but also applies the author\u27s insights to recent events such as the Obama presidency and the Black Lives Matter movement, emphasizing his faith in the connections between the past and present. These incisive essays will encourage a new reading of Baldwin that celebrates his significant contributions to political and democratic theory.

Improvement of Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model for supersonic complex flows
No full textEntropy represents the dissipation rate of energy. Through direct numerical simulation (DNS) of supersonic compression ramp flow, we find the value of entropy is monotonously decreasing along the wall-normal direction no matter in the attached or the separated region. Based on this feature, a new version of Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model (BL-entropy) is proposed in this paper. The supersonic compression ramp and cavity-ramp flows in which the original Baldwin-Lomax model fails to get convergent solutions are chosen to evaluate the performance of this model. Results from one-equation Spalart-Allmaras model (SA) and two-equation Wilcox κ-ω model are also included to compare with available experimental and DNS data. It is shown that BL-entropy could conquer the essential deficiency of the original version by providing a more physically meaningful length scale in the complex flows. Moreover, this method is simple, computationally efficient and general, making it applicable to other models related with the supersonic boundary layer
