lawsuit filed in the state court system that went up to the pennsylvania supreme court, pennsylvania supreme court found that the existing map violated certain aspects of the pennsylvania constitution. and so rather than giving the state legislature time to draw a new map based on that opinion, they imposed, themselves, a map, that was drawn by a professor from stanford university who had no appreciation for various unique issues going on within pennsylvania. for example, i currently represent johnstown, pennsylvania, it's in my current congressional district. this professor playing in the redistricting sandbox decided it would be a good idea to split the johnstown community between two representatives. no state legislature, republican or democrat, would ever have done that. there is no transparency done in this process. this is why state legislatures are supposed to do this work. so there can be open hearings, you can understand what is going into the drawing of a congressional map. that was the not donot done in >> do you think gerrymandering is a problem when it comes to the drawi

i reiterate i don't think the issue in pennsylvania that was identified is unique to pennsylvania. i think they are reflective nationwide as far as the data picture goes. i think the number 1 thing that is -- that is needed is a national identification of what data elements would be beneficial for the courts to collect. then, an avenue to assist courts in finding ways to collect that data. as was identified in pennsylvania, the resources needed to get to that level are essential and extensive. any assistance to courts because courts are very localized, and it is a very individual court issue as far as the collection of data. so assisting courts at the very local level in establishing a mechanism to gather this data would be essential. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. senator blumenthal. >> thank you very much madame chairwoman. this topic is immensely important and many of us in this room will encounter this situation. in connecticut, guardianship or conservatorship decisions are made by local probate judge who is elected and need not be a lawyer. i don't know how often that o

karen buck from pennsylvania. i know we have a lot of family members here who have experienced a lot of anguish and pain as a result of guardianship and maybe some bad decisions. we have worked with a lot of judges who are doing excellent work and i wouldn't make any blanket statements about any judges and i probably wouldn't be here complaining about judges either. we know that our judges are also elected in pennsylvania, so there is a real challenge there. i would say, however, that having a right to counsel, having an attorney representing the alleged incapacitated person as well as incapacitated persons under the guardianship who may no longer need to be under a guardianship having to fight abuse exploitation and neglect, to challenge what is going on in the courtroom is really an essential first step and we have been talking about the access to legal services which i would agree with miss buckley as an independent, usually nonprofit organization, profit is not the goal of our work in legal services. so, to me

the pennsylvania assembly passed the first state law in america banning slavery. in demanding equal rights for women, his heart told and subjugation of women was cruel and unfair, but his mind holding that the only way to convince rich white male legislators to grant women in the rights was to limit his demands. so he picked education. he pointed out that women as mothers were largely responsible for educating american children during the earliest most impressionable years here the education of women, he said, was necessary for the education of the cities children, and develop of the skilled and educated workforce to expand pennsylvania industry. in calling for universal public education he showed how recipients would benefit the philadelphia economy and make everyone, including many of those legislators, much richer. although he thought to ban child labor because he believed it to be cruel, he convinced legislators to ban it by citing a high rate of absenteeism and on-the-job errors by and injuries to child laborers. even convinced the assembly to ban the practic

text pennsylvania. that's the view of the people back home. if you think the pennsylvania assembly is the only representative body for pennsylvania, then the house of commons can't possibly constitutionally tax people in pennsylvania. and everybody in england should be able to see that. well, there is the big problem, right? now let me ask you this. let's suppose you are a member of the pennsylvania assembly. and let's suppose the government agrees. hey, look at the king wants your money, he's got to come ask the pennsylvania assembly for it. so, the government says to you, mr. pennsylvania assembly man, let's say you're that assembly man. the government says do you hey, we need some money. will you please tax your constituents and send us some money? what's your attitude likely to be? so, you would be willing to go back and tell your constituents at the next election, he the reason you're paying this extra text is that i had to send some of your money overseas. do you think your voters would like that

a black veteran from pennsylvania addressed this issue directly. comrade jacob hector, described as a fine looking man, was a populist speaker at pennsylvania g.a.r. gatherings. a methodist minister, hector described for his fellow pennsylvanians the wartime service of black veterans in 1884. he was here to remind them that they have homes, churches, and schools to fight for, while the dark skinned people had neither flag nor country and a very poor home. nevertheless, they went shoulder to shoulder with a white man to war. according to hector, comrades in war remained comrades in peace. "i greet you and you greet me as comrades of the grand army of the republic, the only association this side of heaven where black men and white men mingle in equality." and i can say that they did not mingle in equality anywhere else. but white veterans were very aware they had an interracial organization, and they were proud of it, and they explained the nature of the interracial comradeship they had and why it was so important. a new yorker said in the very earli
