Okay, Things Are Basically In Order

I took that giant mush called "Some Links" and divided it into subject areas. This also gave me the chance to fix a few links whose paths had changed since I first posted them, drop a few extraneous things, and add a bunch of links, mostly elections and voting rights related, that I'd put up on No Stolen Democracy. Also added in the Elections section are things that should have been in my mix of links a long time ago, like The Sentencing Project and VotersUnite! Note that for the most part, the link collections are not intended to be at all comprehensive: they are generally things that I've found while researching specific posts on this site or that I consider essentials.

Incidentally, I am not posting current material on No Stolen Democracy. At present, I am maintaining that blog only as an archive of materials relating to the grassroots movement that led to Senator Barbara Boxer joining Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones in her objection to the counting of Ohio's electoral votes on January 6, 2005. If there's anyone out there with some server space who'd like to host the site and save me the monthly fee on typepad, please get in touch.

My one sad discovery in doing this bit of site maintenance is that We Were The Heart of the Struggle: Women in the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement now seems to be gone from the Sage Colleges website. This was a wonderful senior thesis, consisting of oral histories from female participants in a corner of the Movement that tends to be associated almost exclusively with charismatic, male leaders. If you had the foresight to download the files or you figure out before I do how to find cached versions of the files on the Google servers or elsewhere, please email me or comment on this post. I've emailed the professor who is listed on what I think remains of the department site that used to host the thesis, so perhaps I'll get a hold of it that way or possibly even get the department to put the thesis back online.
