OHIO BRIEF Judge: Man can’t use ‘stand your ground’ defense at trial DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man who faces trial next month in the fatal shooting of two teens he found inside his garage won’t be allowed to use the state’s new “stand your ground” defense, a judge has ruled. Montgomery County Judge Timothy O’Connell said in a ruling earlier this week the “stand your ground” law that took effect in April cannot be applied retroactively to the slayings of Devin Henderson and Javier Harrison in Dayton in August 2019, the Dayton Daily News reported. Victor Santana, 65, is scheduled for trial June 7 on multiple counts of murder and felonious assault. According to authorities, Santana shot the two 17-year-olds when he found them smoking marijuana inside a vehicle in the detached garage. Santana also shot that day at a third teen, who survived, authorities said. Defense attorney Michael Pentecost filed a proposed jury instruction asking O’Connell to tell the jury about self-defense. Pentecost has indicated that he will argue that Santana acted in self-defense at trial. Ohio’s “stand your ground” law no longer requires someone to retreat before they can shoot someone in self-defense.

Instead, it’s now likely that questions about who should bear responsibility for the attack will continue to be filtered through a partisan lens rather than addressed by an independent panel modeled after the commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The Senate vote was 54-35 — six short of the 60 needed to take up a House-passed bill that would have formed a 10-member commission evenly split between the two parties. It came a day after emotional appeals from police who fought with the rioters, the family of an officer who died afterward and lawmakers in both parties who fled Capitol chambers as the rioters broke in. Six Republicans voted with Democrats to move forward. Eleven senators — nine Republicans and two Democrats — missed the vote, an unusually high number of absentees for one of Cases From page 1 are as follows: 0-19 — 313 cases (2 hospitalizations) 20-29 — 400 cases (6 hospitalizations) 30-39 — 316 cases (3 hospitalizations) 40-49 — 341 cases (8 hospitalizations, 1 death) 50-59 — 354 cases (15 hospitalizations, 4 deaths) 60-69 — 302 cases (30 hospitalizations, 8 deaths) 70-79 — 206 cases (43 hospitalizations, 12 deaths) 80-plus — 156 cases (40 hospitalizations, 25 deaths) Meigs County The Meigs County Health Department reported four additional COVID-19 cases on Friday.

Senate Republicans on Friday blocked creation of a bipartisan panel to study the attack. the highest-profile votes of the year. Some said they had scheduling conflicts. It was the first successful use of a Senate filibuster in the Biden presidency and revived talk of doing way with the time-honored procedure typically used to kill major legislation. It requires 60 votes to move ahead, rather than a simple majority in the 100-member Senate. Though the Jan. 6 commission bill passed the House earlier this month with the support of almost three dozen Republicans, most GOP senators said they believe the commission would eventually be used against them politically. And Trump, who still has a firm hold on the party, has called it a “Democrat trap.” Speaking to his Repub- lican colleagues, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said after the vote they were “trying to sweep the horrors of that day under the rug” out of loyalty to Trump. He left open the possibility of another vote in the future on establishing a bipartisan commission, declaring, “The events of Jan. 6 will be investigated.” Friday’s vote was emblematic of the profound mistrust between the two parties since the siege, especially among Republicans, as some in the party have downplayed the violence and defended the rioters who supported Trump and his false insistence that the election was stolen from him. The attack was the worst on the Capitol in 200 years and inter- rupted the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s win over Trump. The protesters constructed a mock gallows in front of the Capitol and called for the hanging of Vice President Mike Pence, who was overseeing the certification of the presidential vote. Lawmakers hid on the floor of the House as they tried to break in, and senators evacuated their chamber mere minutes before it was ransacked. Four of the rioters died that day, and Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick collapsed and died afterward of what authorities said were natural causes. Dozens of police officers were wounded, some with permanent injuries, and two police officers took their own lives in the days after the riots. firmed, 158 probable) since April 2020, as of Friday afternoon’s update from the Meigs County Health Department.

For example, it takes “many words.” What words did Peter use to testify and exhort? He most certainly used important words like “saved” to explain God’s work through Christ on the Cross. Perhaps there was uttered the ideal word of “Heaven” to give hope for eternity. “Hell” is a necessity to emphasize the judgment of God. “Forgiveness” was certainly cited to assure them about the love of God.

As I visited with him in his home, I had talked to him about salvation, baptism, and church membership. He could make his decision to do so either at home or during the invitation time at church. He said he would consider what he needed to do. After one church service, he told me that if we had sung one more verse of the invitation hymn, he would have relented to come forward. That was in my mind the next service he was there. The congregation sang through one set of verses, but Richard did not leave his seat. We sang through another set of verses. Still, no response. We must have sung eighteen verses. It was a long invitation time, for sure. If you are part of a church laboring diligently for the Lord, spiritual encouragement is often needed. But, the Scripture says, “Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” It was on the day of Pentecost, as related in Acts 2, that the promised gift of the Holy Spirit came to the Jerusalem believers in Christ. The experience transformed them into dynamic witnesses. Peter preached a sermon. The summary of it says,” With ‘many’ other words did he testify and exhort.” At the end, 3000 people decided to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. If we are not careful as we read about it, we can get the perception that this great result happened at the snap of a finger. And, in the process, we make comparison to our own feeble ministry results as inconsequential and failing. But, the needed encouragement to our churches today is tipped off by the summary statement of the Pentecost event, “With ‘many’ other words…” GALLIPOLIS — Ohio Valley Bank recently announced the promotion of Shelly Boothe to OVB vice president, commercial business development officer.

TSG Consultants �NEWS 4 Saturday, May 29, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Memorial Day Remembrances As Memorial Day approaches, I am reminded of the privilege I have had to visit Arlington National Cemetery, and, while there, witness the very moving experience of the Changing of the Guard. For me, it is almost as if time stands still during this emotional ceremony as those gathered pay their respects to this unknown American soldier. As David Alan Harvey writes in Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery, “for every minute of every day since July 2, 1937, a uniformed sentinel has marched an unvarying, gliding march in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a 79-ton marble sarcophagus erected in 1921 to honor all American service members ‘Known but to God.’” This time-honored and elaborate ceremony is steeped in military tradition and occurs every hour on the hour from October 1 through March 31, and every half hour from April 1 through September 30. Twenty-four hours a day these Tomb Guards, also known as The Old Guard or Sentinels, watch over the tomb. These guards are chosen for this prestigious and highly selective post only after rigorous training and demanding examinations. Their duty is a sacred one held since 1948 only by soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment.

Debbie Saunders, MLIS, is library director for the Dr. Samuel L. Bossard Memorial Library. The source of comfort Writing to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul offered this inspired benediction: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4; ESV).” God is not just one source of comfort out of many. The Bible declares Him to be the God of all comfort, the originator of comfort and the ultimate source from which comfort flows to the afflicted. God is not the source of false comfort: those lies, crutches and fabrication which people utilize to move from one moment to another with greater ease and less mental anguish. God does not comfort people with false hope, but speaking the truth in love, He urges men to turn from their sin and idols so as to escape the coming destruction. There was an occasion when the aforementioned apostle Paul, having written so eloquently to the Corinthians church about comfort, had reason to speak with a certain Antonius Felix, the procurator of Judea. We read concerning this: “After fort come from and some days Felix what is its nature? came with his wife God offers us Drusilla, who was comfort in mercy Jewish, and he sent and salvation. for Paul and heard Judgment comes him speak about upon sin, but God faith in Christ Jesus. And as he Search the is willing to save reasoned about Scriptures us from our sins, through the blood righteousness and Jonathan of Christ, when self-control and the McAnulty we repent of those coming judgment, sins and turn to Felix was alarmed and said, ‘Go away for the Christ to have those sins washed away (cf. Acts present. When I get an 22:16). “There is thereopportunity I will summon you (Acts 24:24-25; fore now no condemnation for those who are ESV).’” in Christ Jesus (Romans Felix was by all accounts, a wicked, cruel, 8:1).” God offers us comfort and corrupt man, whose main interest in Paul was in love and grace. Grace, not theological, but finan- distinct from mercy, cial (cf. Acts 24:26). Paul, indicates God’s favor and approval. God does as God’s spokesman, offered Felix no comfort, not just forgive us and move on. Rather, God but instead spoke to the takes those He forgives, man concerning things brings them into His famthat made him alarmed ily, gives them gifts, and and discomforted. Until promises them eternal Felix changed his ways, life. In Christ we have turned to Christ, and found salvation, there was every spiritual blessing no comfort that could be in the heavenly places (cf. Ephesians 1:3) and legitimately given him. Yet for those who come we have these blessings, to Him, God does indeed even as we have salvation, because God does love offer comfort. Thus did His children and He will Christ invite, “come to me all you who are heav- care for them (cf. Matthew 7:7-11). ily burdened and I shall God offers us comfort give you rest (Matthew 11:28),” and thus did He in hope. There is coming a day when the dead in promise, “blessed are all Christ shall rise, and havthose who mourn, for ing risen from the dead, they shall be comforted they shall ascend with (Matthew 5:4).” Christ into an eternal Where does this com- dwelling, where they shall dwell with Christ forever. No matter what we are experiencing now, there is comfort in knowing that in Christ things will be better (cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). God offers us comfort in truth. God cannot lie. When He warns of danger and judgment to come, He speaks the truth. But likewise, when God promises salvation, the certainty of that promise gives us security and comfort. It is an, “anchor of the soul,” sure and steadfast (cf. Hebrews 6:17-20). And, then finally, God offers us comfort in fellowship. Notice Paul’s admonition that God comforts us so that we can in turn comfort each other. God, in the beginning, knew that it was not good for man to be alone (cf. Genesis 2:18) and so He gave us one another, creating a family. Likewise in Christ, He brings us into His family, teaching us to share His love, as we learn it, with one another. In all these ways, God gives us true comfort in the midst of trials and afflictions. Comfort able to withstand all that life might throw our way.

Five years ago: An Army veteran of two Afghanistan tours killed one person and wounded several others during a shooting rampage in west Houston before being gunned down by a SWAT officer. Alexander Rossi won the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500. One year ago: Thousands of protesters in Minneapolis angered by the death of George Floyd ignored a curfew as unrest again overwhelmed authorities; fires burned unchecked in cars and businesses. In a tweet, President Donald Trump called protesters in Minneapolis “thugs” and added that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” (The tweet was flagged by Twitter for “glorifying violence.”) Protests over Floyd’s death spread to dozens of cities. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the White House, some throwing rocks and tugging at barricades; officials later said Secret Service agents rushed Trump to an underground bunker. A federal law enforcement officer, David Underwood, was killed and his partner wounded by gunfire from a vehicle as they provided security at the U.S. courthouse in Oakland, California, during a protest. (An Air Force sergeant, Steven Carillo, is accused in that killing and the shooting death of a sheriff’s deputy days later; he has pleaded not guilty.)

In the opener, the Lady Falcons (19-0, 12-0 LKC) manufactured their first run with Mikie Lieving getting hit with a pitch and scoring on a wild pitch in the bottom of the first. A two-run home run by Morgan Christian in the second frame gave the hosts a 3-0 edge, and then WHS scored two runs on three straight two-out hits in the third. WHS plated four runs in the fourth inning, capped off by back-to-back RBI doubles from Amber Wolfe and Lauren Noble. Lieving struck out nine and walked two in her complete game no-hit win. Makenna Curran took the loss in four innings for Doddridge County (15-13, 13-9), striking out a pair.

Rio Grande’s Freitag captures national championship By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing GULF SHORES, Ala. — University of Rio Grande senior Dean Freitag won a national championship on Thursday night, taking top honors in the men’s 5,000-meter race walk as part of the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships at Mickey Miller Blackwell Stadium. The Magnolia, Ohio native finished in a time 22:05.79, topping Missouri Baptist’s Jordan Crawford by just under 21 seconds. “It feels amazing to represent my school, my teammates, my family and to make my coaches proud,” said Freitag, who had the third-best qualifying time and who had twice previously earned All-American honors in the indoor version of the event. “It was a battle, but I made a big push with about 800 meters to go to pull away.” Freitag found himself in third place at the 3,800-meter mark, trailing race leader Steven Smith of West Virginia University-Tech by 12 seconds and Crawford by one second, but Smith — who defeated Freitag in the River States Conference Championship — was disqualified moments later and Freitag made his move. He held a 3-1/2 second lead over Crawford at the 4,200-meter mark and tacked on 17 more seconds to his advantage over the final 800 meters. “When I saw (Smith) get DQ’d, that’s when I went for it,” said Freitag. Freitag’s win gave Rio Grande its first individual national champion since Tyanna PettyCraft won the women’s high jump crown in 2018 and his victory was the school’s first for a male athlete since Matt Boyles won the second of his two championships in the 5,000-meter race walk in 2005. “It’s huge for Dean. It couldn’t have happened to a better kid,” said veteran Rio Grande head coach Bob Willey. “He works hard, he’s a team player — he’s very deserving.” Willey said he instructed assistant coach Jordan Cunningham to employ a bit of a different strategy with Freitag entering Thursday’s championship. “Usually, we try to look at the field and figure things out in terms of how to approach it and where to make a move,” Willey said. “Dean had never beaten the kid from Tech before, but he’s in the best shape of his life and I told Jordan to tell him just to read it and go from the start — to trust himself when to push it. That’s exactly what he did. When he saw Smith get disqualified, he put the hammer down and reached for another gear.” Each of the other three athletes representing Rio Grande came up short in their championship efforts. Junior Cody Booth (New Philadelphia, OH) finished 10th in his heat and 28th overall in the preliminary round of the men’s 5,000meter run. He led throughout the first 1,800 meters of his heat, but faded down the stretch and finished in a time of 15:19.85. On Wednesday night, senior Chanavier Robinson (Ravenna, OH) placed 16th in the women’s long jump with a top effort of 5.46m and sophomore Sierra Cress (Greenville, OH) was 19th in the women’s hammer throw with a best toss of 47.74m.

After qualifying and a handful of finals, the Ohio Valley Publishing area is still looking for its first state qualifier in track and field after the completion of Day 1 at the Division III and Division II Regional Championships held Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, at Southeastern High School in Ross County. So far, only two local teams — the Southern girls in D-3 and the Meigs boys in D-2 — have posted top-8 finishes to secure points, but no area school has yet to earn a state berth with a top four placement. The OVP area will also have 11 different chances to change that on Friday and Saturday in the final day of each meet. Here is a brief look at the local results from each of the Day 1 competitions. DIVISION III Southern junior Kayla Evans just missed earning a state berth in the high jump after placing fifth overall with a height of 5 feet even. Evans matched the height of the third and fourth place finishers and state qualifiers, but finished fifth due to tiebreaker rules. Evans scored four Alex Hawley | OVP sports River Valley junior Cody Wooten hits full stride during an undated track and field event held at River Valley High School in Bidwell, Ohio. points for the Lady Tornadoes, which currently leaves them tied with Newark Catholic and Liberty Union for ninth overall. Evans also missed qualifying for the 300m hurdles final after placing 12th with a time of 50.90 seconds. Mount Gilead leads the D-3 girls meet through three events with 18 points, while Adena is second out of 17 scoring teams with 17 points. Eastern has yet to score in the D-3 girls meet, but will have three chances to do so on Friday. Erica Durst qualified for the 400m dash final with a third place time of 1:00.29. Durst is also in the 800m run final on Friday, while Layna Catlett is a finalist in the Friday discus event. The 4x200m relay team of Durst, Brielle Newland, Sydney Sanders and Alisa Ord missed the finals with a 15th place finish of 2:02.83 in qualifying. Ord was also DIVISION II Meigs sophomore Matthew Barr set a new school record in the pole vault with a fifth place finish of 13 feet even. The four points scored currently have the Marauders tied with Zane Trace and Unioto for 18th overall. West Holmes leads the D-2 boys competition through four events with 20 points, with four other schools tied for second with 10 points apiece. A total of 25 different teams have scored through the first day of competition.

Fans from abroad were ruled out months ago as being too risky during a pandemic. The prospect of empty venues at the postponed Olympics became more likely when the Japanese government decided Friday to extend a state of emergency until June 20 as COVID-19 cases continue to put the medical system under strain. The state of emergency was to have been lifted on Monday. The extension in Tokyo, Osaka and other prefectures raises even more questions if the Olympics can be held at all. Organizers and the IOC are insistent they will go ahead despite polls in Japan showing 60-80% want them called off. “We would like to make a decision as soon as possible (on fans), but after the state of emergency is lifted we will assess,” organizing committee president Seiko Hashimoto said at her weekly briefing. Hashimoto promised to decide on local fans by April, then put it off until early June. Now the deadline is within a month of the July 23 opening date. “There are many people who are saying that for the Olympic Games we have to run without spectators, although other sports are accepting spectators,” Hashimoto said. “So we need to keep that in mind. We need to avoid that the local medical services are affected. We need to take those things into consideration before agreeing on the spectator count.” Cancellation pressure T H U R S D AY B OX S C O R E S Wahama 9, Doddridge County 0 DCHS 000 00 — 0-0-2 WHS 122 4x — 9-9-0 WP: Mikie Lieving (5IP, 9K, 2BB) LP: Makenna Curran (4IP, 9R, 9H, 2K) Doddridge County (15-13, 13-9): none.

HR: Christian. grows daily on Tokyo and the IOC as more questions arise about the risks of bringing 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes from more than 200 countries and territories into Japan, a country that has been largely closed off during the pandemic. The IOC says more than 80% of athletes and staff staying in the Olympic Village on Tokyo Bay will be vaccinated. They are expected to remain largely in a bubble at the village and at venues. In addition to athletes, tens of thousands of judges, officials, VIPs, media and broadcasters will also have to enter Japan. Earlier this week, the New England Journal of Medicine said in a commentary: “We believe the IOC’s determination to proceed with the Olympic Games is not informed by the best scientific evidence.” It questioned the IOC’s so-called Playbooks, which spell out rules at the games for athletes, staff, media and others. The final edition will be published next month. Also this week, the Asahi Shimbun — the country’s second-largest newspaper — said the Olympics should be canceled. The British Medical Journal last month in an editorial also asked organizers to “reconsider” holding the Olympics in the middle of a pandemic. On Thursday, the head of a small doctors’ union in Japan warned that holding the Olympics could lead to the spread of variants of the coronavirus. He mentioned strains in India, Britain, South Africa and Brazil. Japan has attributed about 12,500 deaths to COVID-19, a relatively small number that has gone up steadily in the last few months. The vaccination rollout began slowly in Japan, but has moved more quickly in the last few days. Vaccinated people are estimated at about 5% of the population. The IOC, which often cites the World Health Organization as the source of much of its coronavirus information, has been steadfast in saying the games will happen. It receives about 75% of its income from selling broadcast rights, which is estimated to be $2 billion-$3 billion from Tokyo. That cashflow has been slowed by the postponement. Japan itself has officially spent $15.4 billion or organize the Olympics, and government audits suggest the figure is even higher. Senior IOC member Richard Pound told a British newspaper this week that “barring Armageddon” the games will take place. Last week, IOC vice president John Coates was asked if the Olympics would open, even if there were a state of emergency. “Absolutely, yes,” he replied. IOC President Thomas Bach has also said “everyone in the Olympic community” needs to make sacrifices to hold the Olympics. The message got pushback from Japanese social and local media, some of which noted that the IOC and the socalled Olympic Family are booked into many of Tokyo’s top five-star hotels during the games. Hashimoto defended the IOC’s leadership. “The IOC has a strong determination to hold the games,” she said. “So such a strong will is translated into strong words. That’s how I feel.” Bote homers, Alzolay dodges jams as Cubs beat Reds Wahama 6, Ritchie County 0 RCHS 000 000 0 — 0-3-2 WHS 200 022 x — 6-10-1 WP: Mikie Lieving (7IP, 3H, 12K, BB) LP: Chloe Elliott (6IP, 6R, 10H, 5K, BB) Ritchie County (15-5, 11-3): Maci Ireland 1-2, Lillie Law 1-3, Chloe Elliott 1-3.

An event which included the public unveiling of the $7.1 million investment into downtown Gallipolis was recently hosted by OVB officials and included presentations in City Park and tours of the remodeled building, which was once OVB’s original home before moving operations to Third Avenue — that location remains a working bank. The new OVB on the Square, however, houses administrative offices only, including executive offices, marketing, communications, credit analysis and loan processing. Reportedly, 50 people work in the building which is contained in approximately 19,900-square feet of space. Located at 360 Second Ave., one of the unique features of the building, besides the integrating of its past aesthetics into its present functionality, is the offering of a public conference room and rooftop patio overlooking City Park. These venues will be open and available for public use, likely starting next month, according to Bryna Butler, vice president of corporate communications for OVB. Butler explained all the touches inside the building - from the fleur-de-lis designs in frosted glass, to murals of the Gallipolis trolley which once passed by outside the building and the four seasons of the Bandstand, to the names of conference rooms, reflect a connection to Gallipolis and Gallia County. A safe from the basement of the building, as well as newspaper clippings and antique photos line the original brick walls of the lobby which has been recreated to reflect how it looked years before but with a modern twist. Butler, who was the master of ceremonies at the recent public ceremony, provided the following history of the building and project: OVB was established in 1872 and quickly outgrew its original space, which was on the second floor of a building with multiple businesses. In an effort to expand, the building (today known as OVB on the Square) was built in 1896. The architect was the renowned Frank Packard, who was also responsible for the Ohio Governor’s Mansion and the Capitol Annex in Charleston, W.Va. The building was remodeled twice (1949 and 1955) as the company continued to grow and sold when the Main Office was built a block away in 1961. The building changed hands several times over the next decades and fell into disrepair. OVB bought the building back in 2015 and began the project to bring it back to its original splendor and help revitalize downtown Gallipolis. The building project taken on under the bank’s “Community First” mission was completed in March 2020 and employees moved into the building in March of that year; however, due to the pandemic, the official public unveiling was postponed until…May 23. “Now we see the light at the very, very long end of the pandemic tunnel and are at last able to share this with you, our community,” Butler told those gathered at City Park. “Thank you for supporting OVB then, now and always. Together we can help our community not only survive, but thrive.” Butler then introduced Jeff Smith, director emeritus of OVB and retired chairman of the board, who offered an opening prayer followed by remarks from Larry Miller, president and chief operating officer of OVB. Miller spoke about taking on a project as if it were building a house but imagine that house had to hold 40 people and two dozen visitors from time to time. “Imagine it has the security needs of Fort Knox and the technology needs of Apple, all the while keeping a mindful eye in improving the aesthetics of our downtown, while resurrecting the bygone beauty of the building itself,” Miller said. “To say this project was a monumental project would be quite the understatement.” Miller said it is believed at least 29 local businesses contributed to the project’s construction in some way. According to information from OVB, architects on the project were Design Collaborative in collaboration with Randy Breech of Gallipolis. The lead contractor was Hoon, Inc. of Athens. Tom Wiseman, chairman of the board and CEO of OVB, then spoke to those gathered.

Who would’ve ever dreamed the impact COVID would have on every aspect of our lives, even on trying to have a grand opening…finally, here we are,” Wiseman said, noting they were also on the eve of the bank’s 150th anniversary and celebrating the reopening of their first home. When touching upon OVB’s past, Wiseman credited Arthur Miller, son of Harry Miller who was the director of the bank in 1958, with his “vision” and “commitment” regarding presenting the idea of what the building could become again. Wiseman then spoke about an American Flag, which had been flown An American Flag flown at each of the OVB locations is presented to Jeff Smith. at each of the OVB locations, including OVB on the Square. That flag was presented to Smith, who had retired during the pandemic. “There’s nothing that I can say that can share with you the honor that you have displayed to my wife and myself,” Smith said when accepting the flag which had been passed through the hands of the Gallia County Veterans Honor Guard who raised the flag, and representatives of every OVB branch. Also participating in the event were Bryan Martin, retired senior vice president and project leader for OVB on the Square who led the Pledge of Allegiance; Adria Watson, executive secretary at OVB who sang the National A photo of the original lobby recreated at OVB on the Square.

Walker views the Civil Rights Act of 1875 as one of President Grant’s most important accomplishments. The Act allowed access to public eating establishments, hotels, and places of entertainment, though it was declared unconstitutional in an 1883 Supreme Court ruling. Walker concluded that although Grant was by no means perfect, it would be almost 100 years before another presidential administration showed a similar level of commitment to the advancement of civil rights. “The next major civil rights legislation was passed during the Eisenhower presidency, followed by the civil rights reforms of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations,” Walker said. “It can be said without qualification that Grant was the first president to begin the process and take measures implementing and enforcing the equality of rights established by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and for this he should be remembered, but unfortunately, by most is not.” © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Grant was steadfast in his efforts at continued protection of those rights through “vigorous enforcement”, which included federal military rule in Georgia after black representatives had been expelled from the state legislature. Grant also oversaw the re-entry of Virginia, Texas, Mississippi and Georgia back into the Union. His efforts to create and enforce fairness and equality in the United States would earn him the respect of some and the scorn of others: “Unfortunately there were cataclysmic responses to reconstruction, the most insidious being the formation of the Ku Klux Klan,” Walker continued. Grant continued his reconstruction efforts by establishing the Department of Justice and the Office of Solicitor General. He also signed the Naturalization Act of 1870, extending citizenship rights to persons of African descent, previously granted only to white persons. “With both of these arms Grant tried to grasp and strangle the Klan by prosecution and declaration of martial law in states where the rights of African-Americans were systematically being oppressed,” he said, citing an example of the arrest of over 500 Klansmen by federal troops in South Carolina.
