Freeman Field Mutiny - The incidents of April 5 and 6.
The 477th began moving by train to Freeman Field on March 1, 1945. Word soon got back to the remaining African-American officers at Godman that Colonel Selway had created two separate officers' clubs at Freeman: Club Number One for use by "trainees," all of whom were black; and Club Number Two for use by "instructors," all of whom were white. Led by Second Lieutenant Coleman A. Young, the future mayor of Detroit and an experienced labor organizer, a group of ...

| | | | William Boyd: Encyclopedia II - Gordonstoun - History Located in a 17th century house near Elgin, Moray, in Scotland, it was founded as an international school in 1934 by Dr Kurt Hahn, who had chosen to leave Nazi Germany, mainly on account of his Jewish background. However Hahn introduced many controversial German educational traditions, which were alien to Scottish education and have been termed "Fascistic". In particular, he placed a high emphasis on militaristic discipline and physical education, particularly outdoor activities such as sailing and hill walking. The school formerly had a (possibly undeserved) reputation for harsh conditions, with the cold showers ...

| | | | William Boyd: Encyclopedia II - Jesus College Oxford - Location Jesus is located on Turl Street in the centre of Oxford, on a comparatively small site by the standards of many Oxford colleges, and is one of the three Turl Street colleges along with Lincoln College and Exeter College. Much of what are considered the original buildings date from the 17th century, although parts date back to the college's foundation. Most of these earlier buildings have undergone some degree of restoration, although this is not generally obvious, and parts ...

Race - Origins of modern humans.
see also single-origin hypothesis, multiregional hypothesis.
Any biological model for race must account for the development of racial differences during human evolution. For much of the 20th century, however, anthropologists relied on an incomplete fossil record for reconstructing human evolution. Their models seldom provided a firm basis for drawing inferences about the origin of races. Modern research in molecular biology, however, has provided evolutio ...

| | | | William Boyd: Encyclopedia II - Evanescence - History Evanescence was founded by Amy Lee and former lead guitarist Ben Moody. The two met at a youth camp in Arkansas, where Moody heard Lee playing I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) by Meat Loaf on the piano.
The pair discovered they shared a love of Jimi Hendrix and Björk, and they began to write songs together (the first was "Solitude" by Amy Lee, followed by "Understanding" by Ben Moody, "Give Unto Me" by Amy Lee, and the fourth song ever written by them was "My Immortal"). The songs were altered lyrically and musically by both Lee and Moody, which is the reason for having the names of both o ...
