after langston, the wake—robin ladies continue to push for the opening of all courses in washington, district confirmed they would do so. their battle for equality and then just there. they were also part of the movement to force the pga to drop its whites only rule, which it did in 1961. knowing where it started, all of the historical individuals who have come through this course, and i think i probably have ridden by langston many, many times before becoming a member of wake—robin, and not fully knowing all the history of langston. my name is elizabeth rice mcneill. and i've been in clubs 60 years. i came to washington, dc from pennsylvania. i lived with my auntie, and she took me to church. and the church i went to was sarah smith's church, and she was a golfer. one of the charter members of wake—robin golf club. i went to her house to a meeting, and she had a big piano with these huge trophies on it. and i was fascinated by that. so we got a bunch of young girls together, and we formed a little club. they called us "robinettes, and we had about 18 young girls who started out play

i'm a langston hughes patriot, let america be america again, let it be the dream that used to be america was never america to me, both sort of recognizing the incredible wisdom in our past and also that there's flaws. but i would say that the spirit, the anti-corruption spirit, is one of the ones that we should continue. so when designing the congress and the senate one of the reasons they had a separate senate and congress was to contain different corrupting impulses that we have, the corrupting impulses of the elites and the corrupting impulses of what they saw as sort of the more unruly democracy. hamilton argued for an executive interestingly on anti-corruption grounds, saying that the executive is the least likely to try to use his position of power because he will so identify with the country he won't steal from it. to which mason and others replied, yeah, but look at the time that charles took money from the king of france and was sort of bribed in various ways. so we need to have things like the amoluments clause to protect against an executive who is self-dealing. actually, the

they were in addition to you when you came before senator langston and myself, on the intelligence community. i appreciate your response to my questions for the record. and mister chairman, i would appreciate if we can get those answers to the written us bars in our records. i appreciate you asserting mr. glawe that it is never appropriate for this intelligence community with the specific intent of increasing policy i also appreciate your concerns when you wrote that you would resist any attempt by the white house or anyone else criticize dhs and intelligence analysis. on a different point, recently to supreme court partially lifted the stay on the implementation of muslim band. however the court said individuals with a bona fide connection to the united states could not be subject to the van and must go out to the united states in implementing this, dhs issued guidance defining which family relationships to qualify as family relationships. and excluded, or grandparents, aunt and uncles from that discussion of close family. my question for you is is there a rationale? between grandparents an

everything from going down to the village with langston hughes to partying with a crowd to his stories to the south, gilbert king's excellent book, double in the grove it's fantastic. he once narrowly escaped a lynching to his frat boy pranks to how he successfully defended men accused of rape. the highlight for me that year in terms of the work, was i got to -- in addition to working on some very boring one meritime case, very boring majority opinions i got to help him craft a descent in a school segregation case. in that context i read every single school's case that had ever been decided by the court. and i spent a great amount of time talking to him about this -- and this was his last year in the court, active year if the court. he was 82 and feeble and yet when i'd talk to him about some of these cases, he would just light up, you know, particularly early cases, a case from 1927, a case in which the china girl had to basically be a negro. in this moment i can feel a glimmer what it must have been like to be a lawyer at adf. so that was very special for me. a signature moment, ill
