] | easy | What position did Pedro Pablo Kuczynski take from Jul 2016 to Mar 2018? | /wiki/Pedro_Pablo_Kuczynski#P39#4 | Pedro Pablo Kuczynski Pedro Pablo Kuczynski Godard ( ; born 3 October 1938 ) , also known simply as PPK ( ) , is a Peruvian economist , politician and public administrator who served as President of Peru from 2016 to 2018 . He was previously the Prime Minister of Peru from 2005 to 2006 . His administration ended abruptly on 23 March 2018 , following his address to the nation two days earlier , announcing his resignation from the presidency . Since 10 April 2019 he has been in pretrial detention , due to an ongoing investigation on corruption , money laundering , and connections to Odebrecht , a public works company accused of paying bribes . Kuczynski was born in the Miraflores District of Lima to a Polish Jewish father and a Swiss mother of French descent . Kuczynskis parents fled from Germany after the Nazis came to power . Kuczynski worked in the United States before entering Peruvian politics . He held positions at both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund before being designated as the general manager of Perus Central Reserve Bank . He later served as Minister of Energy and Mines in the early 1980s under President Fernando Belaúnde Terry , and as Minister of Economy and Finance and Prime Minister under President Alejandro Toledo in the 2000s . Kuczynski was a presidential candidate in the 2011 presidential election , placing third . His opponents Ollanta Humala and Keiko Fujimori went on to the 5 June 2011 runoff election , in which Humala was elected . Kuczynski went on to stand in the 2016 election , where he narrowly defeated Fujimori in the second round . He was sworn in as president on 28 July 2016 . Kuczynski held U.S . citizenship until November 2015 ; he renounced it to be able to run for Perus presidency . On 15 December 2017 , the Congress of Peru , which is controlled by the opposition Popular Force , initiated impeachment proceedings against Kuczynski , after he was accused of lying about receiving payments from a scandal-hit Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht in the mid-2000s . However , on 21 December 2017 , the Peruvian congress lacked the majority of votes needed to impeach Kuczynski . After further scandals and facing a second impeachment vote , Kuczynski resigned the presidency on 21 March 2018 following the release of videos showing alleged acts of vote buying , presenting his resignation to the Council of Ministers . He was succeeded as president by his First Vice President Martín Vizcarra . Kuczynski is a polyglot . Aside from his native Spanish , Kuczynski also speaks , with varying degrees of fluency , English , German , and French . Early life and education . Kuczynski was born in Miraflores , Lima , Peru , as the first son of Madeleine ( née Godard ) and Maxime Hans Kuczyński , one of the earliest public health leaders in Peru . His parents fled Germany in 1933 to escape from Nazism . His father , born in Berlin , then capital city of the German Empire , was a German Jew of distant Polish origin , and his mother was Protestant , of Swiss-French descent . Entering Peru in 1936 , Maxime Kuczyński sent his son to receive his early education at Markham College in Lima , and the Rossall School ( Lancashire , England ) , where he was a pupil in the Maltese Cross House between 1953 and 1956 . He won a foundation scholarship to study at Exeter College , Oxford , and graduated with a degree in politics , philosophy and economics in 1960 . Later , he received the John Parker Compton fellowship to study public affairs at Princeton University in the United States , where he received a masters degree in 1961 . He began his career at the World Bank in 1961 as a regional economist for six countries in Central America , Haiti and the Dominican Republic . In 1967 , Kuczynski returned to Peru to work at the countrys central bank during the presidency of Fernando Belaúnde . Kuczynski went into exile in the United States in 1969 due to political persecution after Belaundes government fell to the military dictatorship of General Juan Velasco Alvarado in a coup détat . The newly installed government accused Kuczynski of funnelling about $18 million ( equivalent to $115 million in 2016 ) to Nelson Rockefeller’s International Petroleum Company . He joined the World Bank as the chief economist managing the northern countries of Latin America , moving on to become Chief of Policy Planning . From 1973 to 1975 , he was a partner of Kuhn , Loeb & Co. , the international investment bank headquartered in New York City . In 1975 , he returned to Washington , D.C . to become chief economist for the International Finance Corporation , the private finance arm of the World Bank . Subsequently , he was appointed President of Halco Mining in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , an international consortium mining company with operations in West Africa . From 1983 to 1992 , he was co-chairman of First Boston in New York City , an international investment bank . In 1992 , he founded , with six other partners , the Latin American Enterprise Fund ( LAEF ) in Miami , Florida , a private equity firm that focused on investments in Mexico , Central and South America . The institutional investors in LAEF included more than 15 of the worlds largest university endowments , foundations , and pension funds . in 1983 , he was a founding member of the Inter-American Dialogue and remained a member until 1997 . Early political career . Involvement in politics . In 1980 , following the election of Fernando Belaúnde Terry as president , Kuczynski was invited to return to Peru to serve as Minister of Energy and Mines . In this position , he sponsored law 23231 which , through tax exemptions and other incentives , promoted oil and gas exploration and exploitation after a period of relative neglect . Kuczynski resigned in 1982 and returned to the private sector in the United States . During the second round of the 2016 presidential campaign , he claimed that he had left Peru due to the threats and attacks from the Shining Path insurgent group : Lets remember that the terrorists not only hung my effigy on the zanjón ( a local denomination for Paseo de La República avenue in Lima ) and in San Martín square , but they attacked my apartment . Just as 3 million Peruvians , I left the country . This was in response to an attack by election opponent Keiko Fujimori ( daughter of then-imprisoned former president Alberto Fujimori and main rival of PPK in the second round of elections ) who claimed that Kuczynski did not have moral authority to speak of terrorism . During the rest of the 1980s and 1990s , Kuczynski was mainly involved in the private-equity fund-management business in the United States . He made small personal donations to the presidential campaigns of George H.W . Bush and of George W . Bush and to the state-senator campaign of his wifes cousin in Wisconsin . He additionally made donations to New York Senator Chuck Schumer and New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley In 2000 , Kuczynski joined the presidential campaign of Alejandro Toledo , then an economics professor at the ESAN University in Lima . After Toledo was elected president in the 2001 Peruvian general election , Kuczynski served as Minister of Economy and Finance from July 2001 to July 2002 , and again from February 2004 to August 2005 . In August 2005 , he was appointed as Prime Minister , a position he held until the end of Toledos presidential term in 2006 . In 2007 , Manuel Dammert , a sociologist and politician , alleged that Kuczynski was involved in facilitating the activities , in various projects in Peru , of a financial entity known as First Capital Partners , in particular in relation to the Olmos diversion project , the Jorge Chávez International Airport , the Transportadora de Gas , and the Conrisa consortium . Former partners of Kuczynski in the Latin American Enterprise Fund had reportedly inaccurately listed Kuczynski as a founding partner of First Capital but corrected the error shortly afterwards . In consequence , Kuczynski sued Dammert for defamation and falsification of documents . Kuczynski prevailed at the first and second instance , but , on appeal , Perus Supreme Court upheld Dammerts right to ask questions on matters of public interest , without ruling on the merits of Dammerts claims . These claims have been denied extensively by Kuczynski . After working with the Toledo administration , Kuczynski founded Agua Limpia , a Peruvian non-governmental organization that provides drinking water systems to communities in Peru . Agua Limpia is supported by the Inter-American Development Bank , Scotia Bank of Canada and others . He ran unsuccessfully for president in 2011 , but later went on to win the 2016 Peruvian general election against Keiko Fujimori , becoming the 66th President of Peru until March 2018 . Central Reserve Bank of Peru . Kuczynski returned to Peru in 1966 to support the government of Fernando Belaúnde Terry , as an economic adviser . He was appointed manager of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru . After the coup détat against President Belaúnde on October 3 , 1968 , BCR managers Carlos Rodríguez Pastor Mendoza , Richard Webb Duarte and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski were accused of granting foreign currency certificates to the International Petroleum Company , allowing this company to remit $115 million of current profits to Standard Oil , its parent company in the United States . Due to this Kuczynski was forced to take refuge in the United States . After a judicial process that lasted eight years , the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru acquitted Kuczynski , and other BCR officials , of all charges . Minister of Energy and Mines . In 1980 , Kuczynski returned to Peru and collaborated in the election campaign of Belaúnde Terry , who was elected at his second and last non-consecutive term , and appointed Kuczynski as the Minister of Energy and Mines . As Minister , he promoted Law No . 23231 , which promoted energy and oil exploitation ; However , the so-called Kuczynski Law was not exempt from controversy because of the tax exemptions granted to foreign oil companies . In December 1985 it was repealed . Minister of Economy and Finance . During the presidential campaign of Alejandro Toledo , Kuczynski worked as the head of government planning team . He was later appointed as the Minister of Economy and Finance . As such , he made numerous agreements with the International Monetary Fund to help fulfill the goals in the neoliberal economic policies outlined by Peru . However , he was criticized on countless occasions by Alan García , the main leader of opposition to the government . Prime Minister . After the increase in social protests in Arequipa due to the privatization of electric companies , he resigned on July 11 , 2002 . He returned to office on February 16 , 2004 , and was appointed as the President of the Council of Ministers of Peru before the resignation of Carlos Ferrero Costa . Pedro Pablo Kuczynski appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs on August 16 , 2005 and appointed Fernando Zavala as the Minister of Economy . He remained in the premier until July 2006 . 2011 presidential election . On 1 December 2010 , Kuczynski announced that he would stand as a candidate for President of Peru in the upcoming elections . Kuczynski ran for President of Peru in the general election , though he did not pass into the run-off as head of the Alianza por el Gran Cambio ( Alliance for the Great Change ) , formed by the Christian Peoples Party , the Alliance for Progress , the Humanist Party and the National Restoration Party . He took third place in the vote , his opponents Ollanta Humala and Keiko Fujimori went to the second round of elections on June 5 , 2011 , in which Humala was elected president of the country . 2016 presidential campaign . In 2015 , he announced that he would again be running for president , but now with a political party which he had built himself ( Peruanos Por el Kambio , PPK ) . Kuczynski won 21% of the popular vote in Perus general elections on April 10 , 2016 , to qualify for a runoff vote against Keiko Fujimori , in which he narrowly triumphed with 50.12% of the vote to Fujimoris 49.88% , a margin of just thirty-nine thousand votes out of nearly eighteen million cast . Barely a week before the second round of voting , when trailing Keiko , Kuczynski received an important endorsement from third-place finisher Verónika Mendoza ( 18.82% ) , Perus leading left-wing candidate , in an effort to defeat Fujimori . Keikos party , Fuerza Popular , has an absolute majority in Congress with 73 of the 130 seats ; PPK trails with 18 . Presidency . Kuczynski was sworn in as president on 28 July 2016 . At age 77 , he was the oldest President to take office . As part of the recent push in Peru to recognize and integrate indigenous peoples into national life , Kuczynskis government supported the use of indigenous languages in Peru , with the state-run TV station starting to broadcast in December 2016 a daily news program in Quechua and in April 2017 one in Aymara . The Presidents state-of-the-union address was simultaneously translated into Quechua in July 2017 . Almost immediately after winning the election , Kuczynski , despite previous public statements in support of social conservatism , appointed nearly all his ministers from the left ( including many of Toledos ex-ministers ) , and his government quickly became known for its promotion of feminism , abortion rights , and LGBT rights . This did not please the conservatives who had previously supported him , which led to the censure of two of his education ministers by the opposition-controlled congress , and a no-confidence vote for his entire cabinet in 2017 . Foreign policies . Kuczynski opposed the government of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela , and welcomed Venezuelan expatriates . Nearly 200,000 Venezuelans settled in Peru , others moved to Peru , then later to Chile or Argentina . Kuczynski was one of the first leaders of the Latin American faction that asks for the democratization of Venezuela . Peru revoked Venezuelas invitation to the 8th Summit of the Americas because of Maduros plan to hold an early presidential election , as the major opposing parties were banned from it . Controversies . First impeachment . On 15 December 2017 , the Congress of the Republic initiated impeachment proceeding against Kuczynski , with the congressional opposition stating that he had lost the ″moral capacity″ to lead the country after he admitted receiving advisory fees from scandal-hit Brazilian construction company Odebrecht while he was Perus Minister of Economy and Finance between 2004 and 2005 . Kuczynski had previously denied receiving any payments from Odebrecht , but later confessed that his company , Westfield Capital Ltd , had been receiving money from Odebrecht for advisory services , while still denying that irregularities existed in the payments . Pardon of Alberto Fujimori . On 24 December 2017 , three days after surviving the impeachment vote , Kuczynski pardoned former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori . Second impeachment , Kenjivideos and resignation . After further scandals broke out surrounding Kuczynski , a second impeachment vote was to be held on 22 March 2018 . Two days before the vote , Kuczynski stated that he would not resign and decided to face the impeachment process for a second time . The next day on 21 March 2018 , a video was released of Kuczynski allies , including his lawyer and Kenji Fujimori , attempting to buy the vote against impeachment from one official . Following the release of the video , Kuczynski presented himself before congress and officially submitted his resignation to the Congress of the Republic . Kuczynskis first vice president , Martín Vizcarra , was later named President of Peru on 23 March 2018 . Resignation . Kuczynski announced his resignation from the presidency on 21 March 2018 . This came in result of the dissemination of videos and audios , known as Kenjivideos , that evidenced collusion between the executive and the legislature in order to give privileges and illicit profits to MPs in order to knock down the second impeachment process against Kuczynski . The resignation was accepted on 23 March 2018 by the Peruvian Congress and First Vice President Martín Vizcarra took oath immediately before the Congress . Other presidents of Peru who have resigned are Guillermo Billinghurst ( forced resignation ) , Andrés Avelino Cáceres and Alberto Fujimori . The current Peruvian Constitution of 1993 establishes in its article 113 that the Presidency of the Republic is vacated by : 1 . Death of the President of the Republic . 2 . His permanent moral or physical disability , declared by Congress . 3 . Acceptance of his resignation by Congress . 4 . Leaving the national territory without permission of the Congress or not returning to it within the established period . 5 . Dismissal , after having been sanctioned for any of the infractions mentioned in Article 117 of the Constitution . Congressional vote . The Board of Spokesmen of the Congress agreed to accept the resignation . On March 23 it was approved to accept the resignation of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and declare the presidential vacancy with 105 votes in favor , 12 votes against and four abstentions . Post-presidency . Lava Jato Case . On April 10 , 2019 , he was arrested along with his secretary Gloria Kisic Wagner and his ex-driver José Luis Bernaola for an alleged crime of money laundering in the Odebrecht case . In turn , he authorized the Prosecutors Office to search for 48 hours the homes linked to their surroundings in search of documents related to that case . On April 19 , 2019 , Judge Jorge Chávez issued three years of preventive detention against Kuczynski , who received the news at a clinic in Lima where he was hospitalized for a cardiac intervention derived from a hypertension crisis . For Gloria Kisic Wagner and José Luis Bernaola , the judge rejected preventive detention and ordered that both serve a restricted appearance . On May 2 , 2019 , he left the clinic where he was hospitalized and was transferred to his home where he is currently serving 36 months of house arrest . Public image . Kuczynski was very unpopular throughout his presidency , due to the few advances his government was making , but he was considered one of the most renowned economists in America . Family and personal life . His father , Maxime Hans Kuczynski , was born in Berlin , then part of the German Empire . He was a bacteriologist who served in the German Army during World War I on the Balkan front . He was a renowned pathologist and tropical disease specialist , in particular expert on Verruga peruana or Carrions disease . He trained at the Universities of Rostock and Berlin , where he was professor of pathology . An officer in the German Army on the Eastern and Turkish fronts in the First World War , he traveled widely in Russia , China , West Africa , and Brazil . Leaving Germany in 1933 due to his Jewish roots , he was invited to Peru in 1936 by President Óscar R . Benavides to set up the public health service in the interior of the country .

He founded and led the pro-Scottish Home Rule Scottish Labour Party in 1976 , continuing as MP for South Ayrshire until he lost the seat in 1979 . Sillars joined the Scottish National Party in 1980 and later served as MP for Glasgow Govan after winning a by-election in 1988 , and was Depute Leader of the Scottish National Party . He was married to Margo MacDonald until her death in 2014 . Early life . Sillars was born in Ayr , the son of Matthew , a railwayman , and Agnes Sillars ( née Sproat ) , a carpet weaver . He was educated at Newton Park School and Ayr Academy . After leaving school he worked as an apprentice plasterer , before following his father into working on the railways . Sillars served as a radio operator in the Royal Navy from 1956 to 1960 , before becoming a Firefighter . It was as a fireman that he became more active politically , through the Fire Brigades Union ( FBU ) , and he joined the Labour Party in 1960 . He served as a member of Ayr Town Council from 1962 to 1970 , and was Head of Organisation and Social Services at the Scottish Trades Union Congress ( STUC ) from 1968 to 1970 . Labour MP . Sillars was elected at a by-election in 1970 as Member of Parliament ( MP ) for South Ayrshire constituency , representing the Labour Party . He became well known as an articulate , intellectual left-winger , strongly in favour of the establishment of a devolved Scottish Assembly . SLP breakaway . In 1976 he led a breakaway Scottish Labour Party ( SLP ) . The formation of the SLP was inspired primarily by the failure of the then Labour Government to secure a Scottish Assembly . Sillars threw himself into establishing the SLP as a political force , but ultimately it collapsed following the 1979 General Election . At that election the SLP had nominated a mere three candidates ( including Sillars who was attempting to hold on to his South Ayrshire seat ) . Only Sillars came remotely close to winning and it was this failure to secure a meaningful share of the vote that prompted the decision to disband . Scottish National Party . In the early-1980s , Sillars ( along with many other former SLP members ) joined the Scottish National Party ( SNP ) . Being a left-winger he had fostered close links with the SNP internal 79 Group ; who had encouraged him to join . Sillars , along with the 79 Group and the former SLP members in the SNP , started to shape the SNP as a clearly defined , left-of-centre party . Policies adopted included the support of a non-payment scheme in relation to the poll tax introduced by the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher , as well as the policy of independence within the European Union , of which Sillars was a leading exponent . Sillars also started talking in terms of direct action to bring prominence to the Scottish independence cause , stating that : we must be prepared to hear the sound of cell doors slamming behind us if we are prepared to win independence . Having failed to win the Linlithgow seat from Tam Dalyell of the Labour Party at the 1987 general election , Sillars was chosen to be the SNP candidate for the Glasgow Govan by-election . Govan was a Labour seat ( although Sillarss wife Margo MacDonald had won it for the SNP in a by-election fifteen years previously , in 1973 ) , but Sillars won a dramatic victory . Sillars became the SNPs Depute Leader , with many surprised he did not stand for the party leadership when it became available in 1990 . The 1992 general election proved a disappointment for Sillars personally ; as he lost his Glasgow Govan seat . It was at this time that Sillars made his famous comment that the Scottish people were 90 minute patriots ( a reference to the amount of time a football match lasts ) . This comment proved the beginning of a break with the SNP leadership . The SNP leader at the time , Alex Salmond , had been a Sillars ally , but his comments in the aftermath of the 1992 general election ( and it is also suspected the fact that Sillars supported Salmonds opponent in the leadership contest , Margaret Ewing ) , started this break . In 2014 his book In Place of Fear II : A Socialist Programme for an Independent Scotland was published , in which he outlined his vision of a socialist and independent Scotland . The book was named after Aneurin Bevans 1952 work , In Place of Fear . In 2016 , contrary to the SNP position , he announced he would campaign in favour of British withdrawal from the EU during the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum . He has said : I think ( the EU ) is a profoundly undemocratic organisation which has shown a callous disregard for people , in Portugal , Spain and Greece for example . Theyve been willing to make people destitute - beggar nations - in pursuit of a single policy to create a United States of Europe irrespective of whether the people want it . Scottish independence referendum . During the 2014 Scottish independence referendum , Sillars said : BP , in an independent Scotland , will need to learn the meaning of nationalisation , in part or in whole , as it has in other countries who have not been as soft as we have forced to be . We will be the masters of the oil fields , not BP or any other of the majors . Alba Party . On 26 March 2021 , Sillars backed Alex Salmonds new Alba Party by saying : This is a very welcome development as it gives the independence voters a party that is not the SNP - which many , including me , with justification , believe is tainted with political corruption , and which is grossly incompetent in a whole range of its activities from building ferries to building hospitals , and boasting about being the Saudi Arabia of wind , without creating jobs .

"Scottish National Party"
] | easy | Which party was Jim Sillars a member of from 1980 to 1981? | /wiki/Jim_Sillars#P102#2 | Jim Sillars James Sillars ( born 4 October 1937 ) is a Scottish politician and a leading figure in the campaign for Scottish independence . Sillars served as a Labour Party MP for South Ayrshire from 1970 to 1976 . He founded and led the pro-Scottish Home Rule Scottish Labour Party in 1976 , continuing as MP for South Ayrshire until he lost the seat in 1979 . Sillars joined the Scottish National Party in 1980 and later served as MP for Glasgow Govan after winning a by-election in 1988 , and was Depute Leader of the Scottish National Party . He was married to Margo MacDonald until her death in 2014 . Early life . Sillars was born in Ayr , the son of Matthew , a railwayman , and Agnes Sillars ( née Sproat ) , a carpet weaver . He was educated at Newton Park School and Ayr Academy . After leaving school he worked as an apprentice plasterer , before following his father into working on the railways . Sillars served as a radio operator in the Royal Navy from 1956 to 1960 , before becoming a Firefighter . It was as a fireman that he became more active politically , through the Fire Brigades Union ( FBU ) , and he joined the Labour Party in 1960 . He served as a member of Ayr Town Council from 1962 to 1970 , and was Head of Organisation and Social Services at the Scottish Trades Union Congress ( STUC ) from 1968 to 1970 . Labour MP . Sillars was elected at a by-election in 1970 as Member of Parliament ( MP ) for South Ayrshire constituency , representing the Labour Party . He became well known as an articulate , intellectual left-winger , strongly in favour of the establishment of a devolved Scottish Assembly . SLP breakaway . In 1976 he led a breakaway Scottish Labour Party ( SLP ) . The formation of the SLP was inspired primarily by the failure of the then Labour Government to secure a Scottish Assembly . Sillars threw himself into establishing the SLP as a political force , but ultimately it collapsed following the 1979 General Election . At that election the SLP had nominated a mere three candidates ( including Sillars who was attempting to hold on to his South Ayrshire seat ) . Only Sillars came remotely close to winning and it was this failure to secure a meaningful share of the vote that prompted the decision to disband . Scottish National Party . In the early-1980s , Sillars ( along with many other former SLP members ) joined the Scottish National Party ( SNP ) . Being a left-winger he had fostered close links with the SNP internal 79 Group ; who had encouraged him to join . Sillars , along with the 79 Group and the former SLP members in the SNP , started to shape the SNP as a clearly defined , left-of-centre party . Policies adopted included the support of a non-payment scheme in relation to the poll tax introduced by the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher , as well as the policy of independence within the European Union , of which Sillars was a leading exponent . Sillars also started talking in terms of direct action to bring prominence to the Scottish independence cause , stating that : we must be prepared to hear the sound of cell doors slamming behind us if we are prepared to win independence . Having failed to win the Linlithgow seat from Tam Dalyell of the Labour Party at the 1987 general election , Sillars was chosen to be the SNP candidate for the Glasgow Govan by-election . Govan was a Labour seat ( although Sillarss wife Margo MacDonald had won it for the SNP in a by-election fifteen years previously , in 1973 ) , but Sillars won a dramatic victory . Sillars became the SNPs Depute Leader , with many surprised he did not stand for the party leadership when it became available in 1990 . The 1992 general election proved a disappointment for Sillars personally ; as he lost his Glasgow Govan seat . It was at this time that Sillars made his famous comment that the Scottish people were 90 minute patriots ( a reference to the amount of time a football match lasts ) . This comment proved the beginning of a break with the SNP leadership . The SNP leader at the time , Alex Salmond , had been a Sillars ally , but his comments in the aftermath of the 1992 general election ( and it is also suspected the fact that Sillars supported Salmonds opponent in the leadership contest , Margaret Ewing ) , started this break . In 2014 his book In Place of Fear II : A Socialist Programme for an Independent Scotland was published , in which he outlined his vision of a socialist and independent Scotland . The book was named after Aneurin Bevans 1952 work , In Place of Fear . In 2016 , contrary to the SNP position , he announced he would campaign in favour of British withdrawal from the EU during the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum . He has said : I think ( the EU ) is a profoundly undemocratic organisation which has shown a callous disregard for people , in Portugal , Spain and Greece for example . Theyve been willing to make people destitute - beggar nations - in pursuit of a single policy to create a United States of Europe irrespective of whether the people want it . Scottish independence referendum . During the 2014 Scottish independence referendum , Sillars said : BP , in an independent Scotland , will need to learn the meaning of nationalisation , in part or in whole , as it has in other countries who have not been as soft as we have forced to be . We will be the masters of the oil fields , not BP or any other of the majors . Alba Party . On 26 March 2021 , Sillars backed Alex Salmonds new Alba Party by saying : This is a very welcome development as it gives the independence voters a party that is not the SNP - which many , including me , with justification , believe is tainted with political corruption , and which is grossly incompetent in a whole range of its activities from building ferries to building hospitals , and boasting about being the Saudi Arabia of wind , without creating jobs . He still remains a member of the SNP .

"Oxford United"
] | easy | Which team did Alan Pouton play for from 1995 to 1996? | /wiki/Alan_Pouton#P54#0 | Alan Pouton Alan Pouton ( born 1 February 1977 ) is an English former football coach and professional footballer who played as a midfielder from 1995 to 2010 . Pouton was a product of Newcastle Uniteds youth team but was signed as a professional by Oxford United . He signed on pro terms at the beginning of the 1995–96 season but soon after joined York City where he remained for two years . In 1999 , he signed for Grimsby Town where he arguably spent the best years of his career . Pouton notched up 120 league appearances and 12 goals in his four and a half-year stay with the club . In 2004 , he was sold to Gillingham but soon after he spent time on loan with Hartlepool United . His time with the Gills was dogged by injury woes and he eventually retired in 2007 . A few months after retiring Pouton signed on a semi-professional terms for Dover Athletic and later went on to play for Maidstone United and Sutton United before eventually hanging his boots up permanently in 2010 . In 2011 , he returned to Maidstone as assistant manager . He left the club in January 2012 as part of budget cuts within the club . Playing career . Oxford United . Pouton came through the youth ranks at Newcastle United , his hometown club , but was not retained , and tried his luck at Oxford United . Again , he was never presented with an opportunity to play during his time there and was released at the end of the 1995–96 season . York City . Pouton was snapped up on a free transfer by York City in time for the 1996-97 season . His debut came early on in the season as a substitute in the 2–1 home defeat against Bournemouth . He produced some good performances in the reserves and was eventually rewarded with his first start in the 3–0 home win against Hartlepool United . Pouton went on to make 25 appearances that season , three of which were in the FA Cup . His first career goal was an 80th minute consolation goal in the 4–2 home defeat to Brentford . The following season saw Pouton firmly establish himself as a tough tackling midfielder , although his over-exuberance led to six bookings that season ( to add to the six he had received the previous season ) . The highlight of the 1997/98 season for Pouton undoubtedly came at Roots Hall in a 4–4 draw with Southend United in which he scored twice . Pouton only scored once the following season , but he managed to pick up nine bookings as he started to pick up a reputation as a tough tackler . Grimsby Town . At the beginning of the 1999-2000 season , Grimsby Town made an approach to take Pouton on loan . Despite not starting a game during his month-long loan spell , Pouton impressed sufficiently in his six substitute appearances to prompt Grimsby to pay £150,000 to secure him on a permanent basis . Upon signing , Pouton became a first team regular and went on to play in the majority of Grimsbys games that season . Surprisingly , in hindsight , Pouton only picked up two bookings that season in 41 games . His first goal for Grimsby ( and only goal of the season ) was an equaliser at Blundell Park , Pouton volleyed in at the far post after Nicky Weaver parried Lee Ashcrofts cross in a 1–1 draw with Manchester City . Over the next three seasons , Pouton was booked 18 times and sent off twice . Despite his occasional lapses in discipline , Pouton was generally a success at Grimsby , and although he was not noted for his goals , he still managed eleven goals including a hat-trick in the 6–2 home win against Wimbledon ( although two of those goals were penalties ) . He became a cult hero for his Never Say Die attitude , and his repeat step-overs , although he suffered increasing disciplinary problems , missing many games through a combination of injury and suspension . In the 2002-03 season , Grimsby were relegated to Division Two after finishing bottom of Division One . Injury prevented Pouton from playing until December and he only then played five times before leaving the club to free up finances . Gillingham . Gillingham signed Pouton initially on loan , they eventually paid £30,000 to sign him on a permanent basis . Pouton did reasonably well in a season in which Gillingham narrowly survived relegation , staying up by one goal whilst Walsall were relegated instead . The next season was poor by Poutons standards . He started the season on loan to Hartlepool United , for whom he played six times and scored in the 3–3 draw with Hull City in the Football League Trophy ( Hartlepool won 4–1 on penalties ) . He returned to Gillingham , but only played a handful of games ( twelve ) as Gillingham were finally relegated . The 2005-06 season was better for Pouton as he re-established himself in midfield . He played in the opening day victory over Colchester United and were it not for a succession of injuries perhaps would have played in more than the 24 games in which he appeared . Injuries continued to bedevil him in the following season , and on 31 January 2007 it was announced that he had opted to retire . Dover Athletic . Pouton came out of retirement in June 2007 to sign on a semi-professional basis for Dover Athletic , however injuries again restricted him in claiming a regular first team place . During his spell at Dover Athletic , Pouton gained two promotions to the Isthmian League Premier Division and then the Conference South . Maidstone United . At the end of the 2008–09 season Pouton decided against signing a new contract with Dover due to work commitments and further travelling . He subsequently signed for fellow Kent side Maidstone United where he was soon appointed vice captain . Sutton United . In late August 2009 Pouton left Maidstone after just four appearances to join Isthmian League Premier Division rivals Sutton United . Pouton made his debut for Sutton on 5 September 2009 against Boreham Wood and played for the rest of the 2009–10 campaign at the Gander Green Lane club before retiring from playing at the end of the season . Coaching career . On 18 March 2011 Pouton was named caretaker assistant manager at Maidstone United , who at the time were 8 points adrift at the bottom of the Isthmian League Premier Division . Pouton joined up with former Maidstone teammate Jay Saunders who had just been given the role of player-caretaker manager at the club . Saunders and Pouton led Maidstone to 5 wins from nine games , and although it was not enough to save Maidstone from relegation , Saunders and Pouton were both awarded their respective roles on a permanent basis on 2 May 2011 .

Pouton was a product of Newcastle Uniteds youth team but was signed as a professional by Oxford United . He signed on pro terms at the beginning of the 1995–96 season but soon after joined York City where he remained for two years . In 1999 , he signed for Grimsby Town where he arguably spent the best years of his career . Pouton notched up 120 league appearances and 12 goals in his four and a half-year stay with the club . In 2004 , he was sold to Gillingham but soon after he spent time on loan with Hartlepool United . His time with the Gills was dogged by injury woes and he eventually retired in 2007 . A few months after retiring Pouton signed on a semi-professional terms for Dover Athletic and later went on to play for Maidstone United and Sutton United before eventually hanging his boots up permanently in 2010 .

Pouton went on to make 25 appearances that season , three of which were in the FA Cup . His first career goal was an 80th minute consolation goal in the 4–2 home defeat to Brentford .

In 2011 , he returned to Maidstone as assistant manager . He left the club in January 2012 as part of budget cuts within the club . Playing career . Oxford United . Pouton came through the youth ranks at Newcastle United , his hometown club , but was not retained , and tried his luck at Oxford United . Again , he was never presented with an opportunity to play during his time there and was released at the end of the 1995–96 season . York City . Pouton was snapped up on a free transfer by York City in time for the 1996-97 season . His debut came early on in the season as a substitute in the 2–1 home defeat against Bournemouth . He produced some good performances in the reserves and was eventually rewarded with his first start in the 3–0 home win against Hartlepool United . Pouton went on to make 25 appearances that season , three of which were in the FA Cup . His first career goal was an 80th minute consolation goal in the 4–2 home defeat to Brentford . The following season saw Pouton firmly establish himself as a tough tackling midfielder , although his over-exuberance led to six bookings that season ( to add to the six he had received the previous season ) . The highlight of the 1997/98 season for Pouton undoubtedly came at Roots Hall in a 4–4 draw with Southend United in which he scored twice . Pouton only scored once the following season , but he managed to pick up nine bookings as he started to pick up a reputation as a tough tackler . Grimsby Town . At the beginning of the 1999-2000 season , Grimsby Town made an approach to take Pouton on loan . Despite not starting a game during his month-long loan spell , Pouton impressed sufficiently in his six substitute appearances to prompt Grimsby to pay £150,000 to secure him on a permanent basis . Upon signing , Pouton became a first team regular and went on to play in the majority of Grimsbys games that season . Surprisingly , in hindsight , Pouton only picked up two bookings that season in 41 games . His first goal for Grimsby ( and only goal of the season ) was an equaliser at Blundell Park , Pouton volleyed in at the far post after Nicky Weaver parried Lee Ashcrofts cross in a 1–1 draw with Manchester City . Over the next three seasons , Pouton was booked 18 times and sent off twice . Despite his occasional lapses in discipline , Pouton was generally a success at Grimsby , and although he was not noted for his goals , he still managed eleven goals including a hat-trick in the 6–2 home win against Wimbledon ( although two of those goals were penalties ) . He became a cult hero for his Never Say Die attitude , and his repeat step-overs , although he suffered increasing disciplinary problems , missing many games through a combination of injury and suspension . In the 2002-03 season , Grimsby were relegated to Division Two after finishing bottom of Division One . Injury prevented Pouton from playing until December and he only then played five times before leaving the club to free up finances . Gillingham . Gillingham signed Pouton initially on loan , they eventually paid £30,000 to sign him on a permanent basis . Pouton did reasonably well in a season in which Gillingham narrowly survived relegation , staying up by one goal whilst Walsall were relegated instead . The next season was poor by Poutons standards . He started the season on loan to Hartlepool United , for whom he played six times and scored in the 3–3 draw with Hull City in the Football League Trophy ( Hartlepool won 4–1 on penalties ) . He returned to Gillingham , but only played a handful of games ( twelve ) as Gillingham were finally relegated . The 2005-06 season was better for Pouton as he re-established himself in midfield . He played in the opening day victory over Colchester United and were it not for a succession of injuries perhaps would have played in more than the 24 games in which he appeared . Injuries continued to bedevil him in the following season , and on 31 January 2007 it was announced that he had opted to retire . Dover Athletic . Pouton came out of retirement in June 2007 to sign on a semi-professional basis for Dover Athletic , however injuries again restricted him in claiming a regular first team place . During his spell at Dover Athletic , Pouton gained two promotions to the Isthmian League Premier Division and then the Conference South . Maidstone United . At the end of the 2008–09 season Pouton decided against signing a new contract with Dover due to work commitments and further travelling . He subsequently signed for fellow Kent side Maidstone United where he was soon appointed vice captain . Sutton United . In late August 2009 Pouton left Maidstone after just four appearances to join Isthmian League Premier Division rivals Sutton United . Pouton made his debut for Sutton on 5 September 2009 against Boreham Wood and played for the rest of the 2009–10 campaign at the Gander Green Lane club before retiring from playing at the end of the season . Coaching career . On 18 March 2011 Pouton was named caretaker assistant manager at Maidstone United , who at the time were 8 points adrift at the bottom of the Isthmian League Premier Division . Pouton joined up with former Maidstone teammate Jay Saunders who had just been given the role of player-caretaker manager at the club . Saunders and Pouton led Maidstone to 5 wins from nine games , and although it was not enough to save Maidstone from relegation , Saunders and Pouton were both awarded their respective roles on a permanent basis on 2 May 2011 . Pouton left the Stones in January 2012 following budget cuts at the club . Personal life . Pouton is a keen supporter of Newcastle United . Honours .

"House of Commons of Canada"
] | easy | What was the position of Tommy Douglas from 1935 to 1944? | /wiki/Tommy_Douglas#P39#0 | Tommy Douglas Thomas Clement Douglas ( 20 October 1904 – 24 February 1986 ) was a Scottish Canadian politician who served as Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961 and Leader of the New Democratic Party from 1961 to 1971 . A Baptist minister , he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in 1935 as a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) . He left federal politics to become Leader of the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and then the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan . His cabinet was the first democratic socialist government in North America and it introduced the continents first single-payer , universal health care program . After setting up Saskatchewans universal healthcare program , Douglas stepped down and ran to lead the newly formed federal New Democratic Party ( NDP ) , the successor party of the national CCF . He was elected as its first federal leader in 1961 . Although Douglas never led the party to government , through much of his tenure the party held the balance of power in the House of Commons . He was noted as being the main opposition to the imposition of the War Measures Act during the 1970 October Crisis . He resigned as leader the next year , but remained as a Member of Parliament until 1979 . Douglas was awarded many honorary degrees , and a foundation was named for him and his political mentor M . J . Coldwell in 1971 . In 1981 , he was invested into the Order of Canada , and he became a member of Canadas Privy Council in 1984 , two years before his death . In 2004 , a CBC Television program named Tommy Douglas The Greatest Canadian , based on a Canada-wide , viewer-supported survey . Early life . Thomas Clement Douglas was born in 1904 in Camelon , Falkirk , Scotland , the son of Annie ( née Clement ) and Thomas Douglas , an iron moulder who fought in the Boer War . In 1910 , his family immigrated to Canada , where they settled in Winnipeg . Shortly before he left Scotland , Douglas fell and injured his right knee . Osteomyelitis set in and he underwent a number of operations in Scotland in an attempt to cure the condition . Later in Winnipeg , the osteomyelitis flared up again , and Douglas was sent to hospital . Doctors there told his parents his leg would have to be amputated ; however , a well-known orthopedic surgeon took interest and agreed to treat him for free if his parents allowed medical students to observe . After several operations , Douglass leg was saved . This experience convinced him that health care should be free to all . Many years later , Douglas told an interviewer : I felt that no boy should have to depend either for his leg or his life upon the ability of his parents to raise enough money to bring a first-class surgeon to his bedside . During World War I , the family went back to Glasgow . They returned to Winnipeg in late 1918 , in time for Douglas to witness the Winnipeg general strike . From a rooftop vantage point on Main Street , he witnessed the police charging the strikers with clubs and guns , and a streetcar being overturned and set on fire . He also witnessed the RCMP shoot and kill one of the workers . This incident influenced Douglas later in life by cementing his commitment to protect fundamental freedoms in a Bill of Rights when he was Premier of Saskatchewan . In 1920 , at the age of 15 , Douglas began an amateur career in boxing at the One Big Union gym in Winnipeg . Weighing , Douglas fought in 1922 for the Lightweight Championship of Manitoba , and won the title after a six-round fight . Douglas sustained a broken nose , a loss of some teeth , and a strained hand and thumb . He held the title the following year . In 1930 , Douglas married Irma Dempsey , a music student at Brandon College . They had one daughter , actress Shirley Douglas , and they later adopted a second daughter , Joan , who became a nurse . Actor Kiefer Sutherland , son of daughter Shirley and actor Donald Sutherland , is his grandson . Education . Douglas started elementary school in Winnipeg . He completed his elementary education after returning to Glasgow . He worked as a soap boy in a barber shop , rubbing lather into tough whiskers , then dropped out of high school at 13 after landing a job in a cork factory . The owner offered to pay Douglass way through night school so that he could learn Portuguese and Spanish , languages that would enable him to become a cork buyer . However , the family returned to Winnipeg when the war ended and Douglas entered the printing trades . He served a five-year apprenticeship and worked as a Linotype operator finally acquiring his journeymans papers , but decided to return to school to pursue his ambition to become an ordained minister . Brandon University . In 1924 , the 19-year-old Douglas enrolled at Brandon College , a Baptist school affiliated with McMaster University , to finish high school and study theology . During his six years at the college , he was influenced by the Social Gospel movement , which combined Christian principles with social reform . Liberal-minded professors at Brandon encouraged students to question their fundamentalist religious beliefs . Christianity , they suggested , was just as concerned with the pursuit of social justice as it was with the struggle for individual salvation . Douglas took a course in socialism at Brandon and studied Greek philosophy . He came first in his class during his first three years , then competed for gold medals in his last three with a newly arrived student named Stanley Knowles . Both later became ministers of religion and prominent left-wing politicians . Douglas was extremely active in extracurricular activities . Among other things , he became a champion debater , wrote for the school newspaper and participated in student government winning election as Senior Stick , or president of the student body , in his final year . Douglas financed his education at Brandon College by conducting Sunday services at several rural churches for 15 dollars a week . A shortage of ordained clergy forced smaller congregations to rely on student ministers . Douglas reported later that he preached sermons advocating social reform and helping the poor : [ T ] he Bible is like a bull fiddle .. . you can play almost any tune you want on it . He added that his interest in social and economic questions led him to preach about building a society and building institutions that would uplift mankind . He also earned money delivering entertaining monologues and poetry recitations at church suppers and service club meetings for five dollars a performance . During his second and third years at the college , he preached at a Presbyterian church in Carberry , Manitoba . There he met a farmers daughter named Irma Dempsey who would later become his wife . MA thesis on eugenics . Douglas graduated from Brandon College in 1930 , and completed his Master of Arts degree in sociology at McMaster University in 1933 . His thesis , entitled The Problems of the Subnormal Family , endorsed eugenics a popular movement of the time . The thesis proposed a system that would have required couples seeking to marry to be certified as mentally and morally fit . Those deemed to be subnormal , because of low intelligence , moral laxity , or venereal disease would be sent to state farms or camps ; while those judged to be mentally defective or incurably diseased would be sterilized . Douglas rarely mentioned his thesis later in his life , and his government never enacted eugenics policies , even though two official reviews of Saskatchewans mental health system recommended such a program when he became Premier and Minister of Health . As Premier , Douglas opposed the adoption of eugenics laws . By the time Douglas took office in 1944 , many people questioned eugenics due to Nazi Germanys embrace of it in its effort to create a master race . Instead , Douglas implemented vocational training for the mentally handicapped and therapy for those suffering from mental disorders . PhD research in Chicago . In the summer of 1931 , Douglas continued his studies in sociology at the University of Chicago . He never completed his PhD thesis , but was deeply disturbed by his field work in the Depression-era jungles or hobo camps where about 75,000 transients sheltered in lean-tos venturing out by day to beg or to steal . Douglas interviewed men who once belonged to the American middle class—despondent bank clerks , lawyers and doctors . Douglas said later : There were little soup kitchens run by the Salvation Army and the churches .. . In the first half-hour theyd be cleaned out . After that there was nothing .. . It was impossible to describe the hopelessness . Douglas was equally disturbed that members of the Socialist Party sat around quoting Marx and Lenin , waiting for a revolution while refusing to help the destitute . Douglas said : That experience soured me with absolutists .. . Ive no patience with people who want to sit back and talk about a blueprint for society and do nothing about it . From pulpit to politics . Two months after Douglas graduated from Brandon College , he married Irma Dempsey and the two moved to the small town of Weyburn , Saskatchewan , where he became an ordained minister at the Calvary Baptist Church . Irma was 19 , while Douglas was 25 . With the onset of the Depression , Douglas became a social activist in Weyburn , and joined the new Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) political party . He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1935 federal election . During the September 1939 special House of Commons debate on entering the war , Douglas , who had visited Nazi Germany in 1936 and was disgusted by what he saw , supported going to war against Hitler . He was not a pacifist , unlike his partys leader , J . S . Woodsworth , and stated his reasons : Douglas and Coldwells position was eventually adopted by the CCF National Council , but they also did not admonish Woodsworths pacifist stand , and allowed him to put it forward in the House . Douglas assisted Woodsworth , during his leaders speech , by holding up the pages and turning them for him , even though he disagreed with him . Woodsworth had suffered a stroke earlier in the year and he needed someone to hold his notes , and Douglas still held him in very high regard , and dutifully assisted his leader . After the outbreak of World War II , Douglas enlisted in the wartime Canadian Army . He had volunteered for overseas service when a medical examination turned up his old leg problems . Douglas stayed in Canada and the Grenadiers headed for Hong Kong . If not for that ailment , he would likely have been with the regiment when its members were killed or captured at Hong Kong in December 1941 . Premier of Saskatchewan . Despite being a federal Member of Parliament and not yet an MLA , Douglas was elected the leader of the Saskatchewan CCF in 1942 after successfully challenging the incumbent leader , George Hara Williams , but did not resign from the House of Commons until 1 June 1944 . He led the CCF to power in the 1944 provincial election , winning 47 of 53 seats in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan , and thus forming the first social democratic government in not only Canada , but all of North America . As premier , Douglas attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953 . Douglas and the Saskatchewan CCF then went on to win five straight majority victories in all subsequent Saskatchewan provincial elections up to 1960 . Most of his governments pioneering innovations came about during its first term , including : - the creation of the publicly owned Saskatchewan Power Corporation , successor to the Saskatchewan Electrical Power Commission , which began a long program of extending electrical service to isolated farms and villages ; - the creation of Canadas first publicly owned automotive insurance service , the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Office ; - the creation of a large number of crown corporations , many of which competed with existing private sector interests ; - legislation that allowed the unionization of the public service ; - a program to offer taxpayer-funded hospital care to all citizens—the first in North America . - passage of the Saskatchewan Bill of Rights , legislation that broke new ground as it protected both fundamental freedoms and equality rights against abuse not only by government actors but also on the part of powerful private institutions and persons . ( The Saskatchewan Bill of Rights preceded the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations by 18 months. ) Douglas was the first head of any government in Canada to call for a constitutional bill of rights . This he did at a federal-provincial conference in Quebec City in January 1950 . No one in attendance at the conference supported him in this . Ten years later , Premier Jean Lesage of Quebec joined with Douglas at a First Ministers Conference in July 1960 in advocating for a constitutional bill of rights . Thus , respectable momentum was given to the idea that finally came to fruition , on 17 April 1982 , with the proclamation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Thanks to a booming postwar economy and the prudent financial management of provincial treasurer Clarence Fines , the Douglas government slowly paid off the huge public debt left by the previous Liberal government , and created a budget surplus for the Saskatchewan government . Coupled with a federal government promise in 1959 to give even more tax money for medical care , this paved the way for Douglass most notable achievement , the introduction of universal health care legislation in 1961 . Medicare . Douglass number one concern was the creation of Medicare . He introduced medical insurance reform in his first term , and gradually moved the province towards universal medicare near the end of his last term . In the summer of 1962 , Saskatchewan became the centre of a hard-fought struggle between the provincial government , the North American medical establishment , and the provinces physicians , who brought things to a halt with the 1962 Saskatchewan doctors strike . The doctors believed their best interests were not being met and feared a significant loss of income as well as government interference in medical care decisions even though Douglas agreed that his government would pay the going rate for service that doctors charged . The medical establishment claimed that Douglas would import foreign doctors to make his plan work and used racist images to try to scare the public . Douglas is widely known as the father of Medicare , but the Saskatchewan universal program was finally launched by his successor , Woodrow Lloyd , in 1962 . Douglas stepped down as premier and as a member of the legislature the previous year , to lead the newly formed federal successor to the CCF , the New Democratic Party of Canada ( NDP ) . The success of the provinces public health care program was not lost on the federal government . Another Saskatchewan politician , newly elected Prime Minister John Diefenbaker , decreed in 1958 that any province seeking to introduce a hospital plan would receive 50 cents on the dollar from the federal government . In 1962 , Diefenbaker appointed Justice Emmett Hall—also of Saskatchewan , a noted jurist and Supreme Court Justice—to Chair a Royal Commission on the national health system—the Royal Commission on Health Services . In 1964 , Justice Hall recommended a nationwide adoption of Saskatchewans model of public health insurance . In 1966 , the Liberal minority government of Lester B . Pearson created such a program , with the federal government paying 50% of the costs and the provinces the other half . The adoption of public health care across Canada ended up being the work of three men with diverse political ideals – Douglas of the CCF , Diefenbaker of the Progressive Conservatives , and Pearson of the Liberals . Federal NDP leader . Election . The 1958 Canadian general election was a disaster for the CCF ; its caucus was reduced to eight , and party leader M . J . Coldwell lost his own seat . The CCF executive knew that their party was dying and needed radical change . The executive persuaded Coldwell to remain as leader , but the party also needed a leader in the House of Commons to replace him , because he obviously was no longer a Member of Parliament . The CCF parliamentary caucus chose Hazen Argue as its new leader in the House . During the lead-up to the 1960 CCF convention , Argue was pressing Coldwell to step down ; this leadership challenge jeopardized plans for an orderly transition to the new party that was being planned by the CCF and the Canadian Labour Congress . CCF national president David Lewis – who succeeded Coldwell as president in 1958 , when the national chairman and national president positions were merged – and the rest of the new partys organizers opposed Argues manoeuvres and wanted Douglas to be the new partys first leader . To prevent their plans from being derailed , Lewis unsuccessfully attempted to persuade Argue not to force a vote at the convention on the question of the partys leadership , and there was a split between the parliamentary caucus and the party executive on the convention floor . Coldwell stepped down as leader , and Argue replaced him , becoming the partys final national leader . As far back as 1941 , Coldwell wanted Douglas to succeed him in leading the National CCF ( at that time , it was obvious that Coldwell would be assuming the national leadership in the near future ) . When the time came for the New Party to form , in 1961 , Coldwell pressured Douglas to run for the leadership . Coldwell did not trust Argue , and many in the CCF leadership thought that he was already having secret meetings with the Liberals with a view to a party merger . Also , Coldwell and Douglas thought Lewis would not be a viable alternative to Argue because Lewis was not likely to defeat Argue ; this was partly due to Lewis lack of a parliamentary seat but also , and likely more importantly , because his role as party disciplinarian over the years had made him many enemies , enough to potentially prevent him from winning the leadership . Douglas , after much consultation with Coldwell , Lewis , and his caucus , decided in June 1961 to reluctantly contest the leadership of the New Party . He handily defeated Argue on 3 August 1961 at the first NDP leadership convention in Ottawa , and became the new partys first leader . Six months later , Argue crossed the floor and became a Liberal . House of Commons , Act II . Douglas resigned from provincial politics and sought election to the House of Commons in the riding of Regina City in 1962 , but was defeated by Ken More . He was later elected in a by-election in the riding of Burnaby—Coquitlam , British Columbia . Re-elected as MP for that riding in the 1963 and 1965 elections , Douglas lost the redistricted seat of Burnaby—Seymour in the 1968 federal election . He won a seat again in a 1969 by-election in the riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan—The Islands , following the death of Colin Cameron in 1968 , and represented it until his retirement from electoral politics in 1979 . While the NDP did better in elections than its CCF predecessor , the party did not experience the breakthrough it had hoped for . Despite this , Douglas was greatly respected by party members and Canadians at large as the party wielded considerable influence during Lester Pearsons minority governments in the mid-1960s . Views on homosexuality . During the 1968 Federal Election , Douglas described homosexuality as a treatable illness by saying its a mental illness [ and ] a psychiatric condition . Rather than treating it as a criminal offence with imprisonment , Douglas believed it could be treated by psychiatrists and social workers . This view of homosexuality was mainstream at the time , but has since raised questions about how historical figures are remembered . The War Measures Act , 1970 . The October 1970 Quebec FLQ Crisis put Douglas and David Lewis—now a Member of Parliament—on the hotseat , with Lewis being the only NDP MP with any roots in Quebec . He and Lewis were opposed to 16 October implementation of the War Measures Act . The act , enacted previously only for wartime purposes , imposed extreme limitations on civil liberties , and gave the police and military vastly expanded powers for arresting and detaining suspects , usually with little to no evidence required . Although it was only meant to be used in Quebec , since it was federal legislation , it was in force throughout Canada . Some police services , from outside of Quebec , took advantage of it for their own purposes , which mostly had nothing even remotely related to the Quebec situation , as Lewis and Douglas suspected . During a second vote on 19 October , sixteen of the twenty members of the NDP parliamentary caucus voted against the implementation of the War Measures Act in the House of Commons and four voted with the Liberal government . They took much grief for being the only parliamentarians to vote against it , dropping to an approval rating of seven per cent in public opinion polls . Lewis , speaking for the party at a press scrum that day : The information we do have , showed a situation of criminal acts and criminal conspiracy in Quebec . But , there is no information that there was unintended , or apprehended , or planned insurrection , which alone , would justify invoking the War Measures Act . Douglas voiced similar criticism : The government , I submit , is using a sledgehammer to crack a peanut . About five years later , many of the MPs who voted to implement it regretted doing so , and belatedly honoured Douglas and Lewis for their stand against it . Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield went so far as to say that , Quite frankly , Ive admired Tommy Douglas and David Lewis , and those fellows in the NDP for having the courage to vote against that , although they took a lot of abuse at the time .. . I dont brood about it . Im not proud of it . Late career and retirement . Douglas resigned as NDP leader in 1971 , but retained his seat in the House of Commons . Around the same time as the leadership convention held to replace him , he asked the party not to buy him an elaborate parting gift . Instead , he and his friend and political mentor M . J . Coldwell were honoured by the party with the creation of the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation in 1971 . He served as the NDPs energy critic under the new leader , David Lewis . He was re-elected in the riding of Nanaimo–Cowichan–The Islands in the 1972 and 1974 elections . He retired from politics in 1979 and served on the board of directors of Husky Oil , an Alberta oil and gas exploration company that had holdings in Saskatchewan . In 1980 , Douglas was awarded a Doctor of Laws degree honoris causa by Carleton University in Ottawa . On 22 June 1981 , Douglas was appointed to the Order of Canada as a Companion for his service as a political leader , and innovator in public policy . In 1985 , he was appointed to the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and Brandon University created a students union building in honour of Douglas and his old friend , Stanley Knowles . In June 1984 , Douglas was injured when he was struck by a bus , but he quickly recovered and on his 80th birthday he claimed to The Globe and Mail that he usually walked up to five miles a day . By this point in his life his memory was beginning to slow down and he stopped accepting speaking engagements but remained active in the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation . Later that year , on 30 November , he became a member of the Queens Privy Council for Canada . Douglas died of cancer on 24 February 1986 , at the age of 81 in Ottawa and was buried at Beechwood Cemetery . In a national TV contest , conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) in 2004 , he was crowned Greatest Canadian by viewers in an online vote . Tributes . Douglas Provincial Park near Saskatchewans Lake Diefenbaker and QuAppelle River Dam was named after him . The statue The Greatest Canadian , created by Lea Vivot , was erected in his hometown of Weyburn in September 2010 and unveiled by his grandson Kiefer Sutherland . A library located in Burnaby , British Columbia , was named in his honour and had its soft opening on 17 November 2009 . Several schools have been named after him , including Tommy Douglas Collegiate in Saskatoon , and a student housing co-op in Toronto , Campus Co-operative Residences , named one of their houses after him as well . The Tommy Douglas Secondary School in Vaughan , Ontario , Canada named in his honour opened in February 2015 . Internationally the former National Labor College in Silver Spring , Maryland , was renamed the Tommy Douglas Center after its purchase by the Amalgamated Transit Union in 2014 . In March 2019 , a plaque commemorating Douglas as the Father of Medicare was revealed in Regina , Saskatchewan . Artistic depiction . In the two CBC Television mini-series about Pierre Trudeau , Trudeau and Trudeau II : Maverick in the Making , Douglas is portrayed by Eric Peterson . In the biography mini-series , , which aired on 12 and 13 March 2006 , also on CBC , Douglas was played by Michael Therriault . The movie was widely derided by critics as being historically inaccurate . Particularly , the movies portrayal of James Gardiner , premier of Saskatchewan from the late 1920s to mid-1930s , was objected to by political historians and the Gardiner family itself . In response , the CBC consulted a third party historian to review the film and pulled it from future broadcasts , including halting all home and educational sales . Prairie Giant was shown in Asia on the Hallmark Channel on 11 and 12 June 2007 . Douglas was also the subject of a 1986 National Film Board of Canada documentary Tommy Douglas : Keeper of the Flame , which received the Gemini Award for Best Writing in a Documentary Program or Series . Douglas was mentioned in the Michael Moore documentary Sicko , which compared the health care system in the United States with that of Canada and other countries . Fables . The Cream Separator is a fable , written by Douglas , which aims to explain the inherent injustices of the capitalist system as it relates to the agricultural sector by making the analogy that the upper class gets the cream , the middle class gets the whole milk , and the farmers and industrial workers get a watery substance that barely resembles milk . He was also known for his retelling of the fable of Mouseland , which likens the majority of voters to mice , and how they either elect black or white cats as their politicians , but never their own mice : meaning that workers and their general interests were not being served by electing wealthy politicians from the Liberal or Conservative parties ( black and white cats ) , and that only a party from their class ( mice ) , originally the CCF , later the NDP , could serve their interests ( mice ) . Years later , his grandson , television actor Kiefer Sutherland , provided the introduction to a Mouseland animated video that used a Douglas Mouseland speech as its narration . Honorary degrees . Douglas received honorary degrees from several universities , including - University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan ( LLD ) in 1962 - McMaster University in Hamilton , Ontario ( LLD ) in May 1969 - Queens University in Kingston , Ontario ( LLD ) on 27 May 1972 - University of Regina in Regina , Saskatchewan in 1978 - Carleton University in Ottawa , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1980 - University of Toronto in Toronto , Ontario ( LLD ) in June 1980 - University of British Columbia in Vancouver , British Columbia , ( LLD ) 27 May 1981 - Trent University in Peterborough , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1983 Archives .

] | easy | Which position did Tommy Douglas hold in Jun 1944? | /wiki/Tommy_Douglas#P39#1 | Tommy Douglas Thomas Clement Douglas ( 20 October 1904 – 24 February 1986 ) was a Scottish Canadian politician who served as Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961 and Leader of the New Democratic Party from 1961 to 1971 . A Baptist minister , he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in 1935 as a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) . He left federal politics to become Leader of the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and then the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan . His cabinet was the first democratic socialist government in North America and it introduced the continents first single-payer , universal health care program . After setting up Saskatchewans universal healthcare program , Douglas stepped down and ran to lead the newly formed federal New Democratic Party ( NDP ) , the successor party of the national CCF . He was elected as its first federal leader in 1961 . Although Douglas never led the party to government , through much of his tenure the party held the balance of power in the House of Commons . He was noted as being the main opposition to the imposition of the War Measures Act during the 1970 October Crisis . He resigned as leader the next year , but remained as a Member of Parliament until 1979 . Douglas was awarded many honorary degrees , and a foundation was named for him and his political mentor M . J . Coldwell in 1971 . In 1981 , he was invested into the Order of Canada , and he became a member of Canadas Privy Council in 1984 , two years before his death . In 2004 , a CBC Television program named Tommy Douglas The Greatest Canadian , based on a Canada-wide , viewer-supported survey . Early life . Thomas Clement Douglas was born in 1904 in Camelon , Falkirk , Scotland , the son of Annie ( née Clement ) and Thomas Douglas , an iron moulder who fought in the Boer War . In 1910 , his family immigrated to Canada , where they settled in Winnipeg . Shortly before he left Scotland , Douglas fell and injured his right knee . Osteomyelitis set in and he underwent a number of operations in Scotland in an attempt to cure the condition . Later in Winnipeg , the osteomyelitis flared up again , and Douglas was sent to hospital . Doctors there told his parents his leg would have to be amputated ; however , a well-known orthopedic surgeon took interest and agreed to treat him for free if his parents allowed medical students to observe . After several operations , Douglass leg was saved . This experience convinced him that health care should be free to all . Many years later , Douglas told an interviewer : I felt that no boy should have to depend either for his leg or his life upon the ability of his parents to raise enough money to bring a first-class surgeon to his bedside . During World War I , the family went back to Glasgow . They returned to Winnipeg in late 1918 , in time for Douglas to witness the Winnipeg general strike . From a rooftop vantage point on Main Street , he witnessed the police charging the strikers with clubs and guns , and a streetcar being overturned and set on fire . He also witnessed the RCMP shoot and kill one of the workers . This incident influenced Douglas later in life by cementing his commitment to protect fundamental freedoms in a Bill of Rights when he was Premier of Saskatchewan . In 1920 , at the age of 15 , Douglas began an amateur career in boxing at the One Big Union gym in Winnipeg . Weighing , Douglas fought in 1922 for the Lightweight Championship of Manitoba , and won the title after a six-round fight . Douglas sustained a broken nose , a loss of some teeth , and a strained hand and thumb . He held the title the following year . In 1930 , Douglas married Irma Dempsey , a music student at Brandon College . They had one daughter , actress Shirley Douglas , and they later adopted a second daughter , Joan , who became a nurse . Actor Kiefer Sutherland , son of daughter Shirley and actor Donald Sutherland , is his grandson . Education . Douglas started elementary school in Winnipeg . He completed his elementary education after returning to Glasgow . He worked as a soap boy in a barber shop , rubbing lather into tough whiskers , then dropped out of high school at 13 after landing a job in a cork factory . The owner offered to pay Douglass way through night school so that he could learn Portuguese and Spanish , languages that would enable him to become a cork buyer . However , the family returned to Winnipeg when the war ended and Douglas entered the printing trades . He served a five-year apprenticeship and worked as a Linotype operator finally acquiring his journeymans papers , but decided to return to school to pursue his ambition to become an ordained minister . Brandon University . In 1924 , the 19-year-old Douglas enrolled at Brandon College , a Baptist school affiliated with McMaster University , to finish high school and study theology . During his six years at the college , he was influenced by the Social Gospel movement , which combined Christian principles with social reform . Liberal-minded professors at Brandon encouraged students to question their fundamentalist religious beliefs . Christianity , they suggested , was just as concerned with the pursuit of social justice as it was with the struggle for individual salvation . Douglas took a course in socialism at Brandon and studied Greek philosophy . He came first in his class during his first three years , then competed for gold medals in his last three with a newly arrived student named Stanley Knowles . Both later became ministers of religion and prominent left-wing politicians . Douglas was extremely active in extracurricular activities . Among other things , he became a champion debater , wrote for the school newspaper and participated in student government winning election as Senior Stick , or president of the student body , in his final year . Douglas financed his education at Brandon College by conducting Sunday services at several rural churches for 15 dollars a week . A shortage of ordained clergy forced smaller congregations to rely on student ministers . Douglas reported later that he preached sermons advocating social reform and helping the poor : [ T ] he Bible is like a bull fiddle .. . you can play almost any tune you want on it . He added that his interest in social and economic questions led him to preach about building a society and building institutions that would uplift mankind . He also earned money delivering entertaining monologues and poetry recitations at church suppers and service club meetings for five dollars a performance . During his second and third years at the college , he preached at a Presbyterian church in Carberry , Manitoba . There he met a farmers daughter named Irma Dempsey who would later become his wife . MA thesis on eugenics . Douglas graduated from Brandon College in 1930 , and completed his Master of Arts degree in sociology at McMaster University in 1933 . His thesis , entitled The Problems of the Subnormal Family , endorsed eugenics a popular movement of the time . The thesis proposed a system that would have required couples seeking to marry to be certified as mentally and morally fit . Those deemed to be subnormal , because of low intelligence , moral laxity , or venereal disease would be sent to state farms or camps ; while those judged to be mentally defective or incurably diseased would be sterilized . Douglas rarely mentioned his thesis later in his life , and his government never enacted eugenics policies , even though two official reviews of Saskatchewans mental health system recommended such a program when he became Premier and Minister of Health . As Premier , Douglas opposed the adoption of eugenics laws . By the time Douglas took office in 1944 , many people questioned eugenics due to Nazi Germanys embrace of it in its effort to create a master race . Instead , Douglas implemented vocational training for the mentally handicapped and therapy for those suffering from mental disorders . PhD research in Chicago . In the summer of 1931 , Douglas continued his studies in sociology at the University of Chicago . He never completed his PhD thesis , but was deeply disturbed by his field work in the Depression-era jungles or hobo camps where about 75,000 transients sheltered in lean-tos venturing out by day to beg or to steal . Douglas interviewed men who once belonged to the American middle class—despondent bank clerks , lawyers and doctors . Douglas said later : There were little soup kitchens run by the Salvation Army and the churches .. . In the first half-hour theyd be cleaned out . After that there was nothing .. . It was impossible to describe the hopelessness . Douglas was equally disturbed that members of the Socialist Party sat around quoting Marx and Lenin , waiting for a revolution while refusing to help the destitute . Douglas said : That experience soured me with absolutists .. . Ive no patience with people who want to sit back and talk about a blueprint for society and do nothing about it . From pulpit to politics . Two months after Douglas graduated from Brandon College , he married Irma Dempsey and the two moved to the small town of Weyburn , Saskatchewan , where he became an ordained minister at the Calvary Baptist Church . Irma was 19 , while Douglas was 25 . With the onset of the Depression , Douglas became a social activist in Weyburn , and joined the new Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) political party . He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1935 federal election . During the September 1939 special House of Commons debate on entering the war , Douglas , who had visited Nazi Germany in 1936 and was disgusted by what he saw , supported going to war against Hitler . He was not a pacifist , unlike his partys leader , J . S . Woodsworth , and stated his reasons : Douglas and Coldwells position was eventually adopted by the CCF National Council , but they also did not admonish Woodsworths pacifist stand , and allowed him to put it forward in the House . Douglas assisted Woodsworth , during his leaders speech , by holding up the pages and turning them for him , even though he disagreed with him . Woodsworth had suffered a stroke earlier in the year and he needed someone to hold his notes , and Douglas still held him in very high regard , and dutifully assisted his leader . After the outbreak of World War II , Douglas enlisted in the wartime Canadian Army . He had volunteered for overseas service when a medical examination turned up his old leg problems . Douglas stayed in Canada and the Grenadiers headed for Hong Kong . If not for that ailment , he would likely have been with the regiment when its members were killed or captured at Hong Kong in December 1941 . Premier of Saskatchewan . Despite being a federal Member of Parliament and not yet an MLA , Douglas was elected the leader of the Saskatchewan CCF in 1942 after successfully challenging the incumbent leader , George Hara Williams , but did not resign from the House of Commons until 1 June 1944 . He led the CCF to power in the 1944 provincial election , winning 47 of 53 seats in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan , and thus forming the first social democratic government in not only Canada , but all of North America . As premier , Douglas attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953 . Douglas and the Saskatchewan CCF then went on to win five straight majority victories in all subsequent Saskatchewan provincial elections up to 1960 . Most of his governments pioneering innovations came about during its first term , including : - the creation of the publicly owned Saskatchewan Power Corporation , successor to the Saskatchewan Electrical Power Commission , which began a long program of extending electrical service to isolated farms and villages ; - the creation of Canadas first publicly owned automotive insurance service , the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Office ; - the creation of a large number of crown corporations , many of which competed with existing private sector interests ; - legislation that allowed the unionization of the public service ; - a program to offer taxpayer-funded hospital care to all citizens—the first in North America . - passage of the Saskatchewan Bill of Rights , legislation that broke new ground as it protected both fundamental freedoms and equality rights against abuse not only by government actors but also on the part of powerful private institutions and persons . ( The Saskatchewan Bill of Rights preceded the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations by 18 months. ) Douglas was the first head of any government in Canada to call for a constitutional bill of rights . This he did at a federal-provincial conference in Quebec City in January 1950 . No one in attendance at the conference supported him in this .

Rather than treating it as a criminal offence with imprisonment , Douglas believed it could be treated by psychiatrists and social workers . This view of homosexuality was mainstream at the time , but has since raised questions about how historical figures are remembered . The War Measures Act , 1970 . The October 1970 Quebec FLQ Crisis put Douglas and David Lewis—now a Member of Parliament—on the hotseat , with Lewis being the only NDP MP with any roots in Quebec . He and Lewis were opposed to 16 October implementation of the War Measures Act . The act , enacted previously only for wartime purposes , imposed extreme limitations on civil liberties , and gave the police and military vastly expanded powers for arresting and detaining suspects , usually with little to no evidence required . Although it was only meant to be used in Quebec , since it was federal legislation , it was in force throughout Canada . Some police services , from outside of Quebec , took advantage of it for their own purposes , which mostly had nothing even remotely related to the Quebec situation , as Lewis and Douglas suspected . During a second vote on 19 October , sixteen of the twenty members of the NDP parliamentary caucus voted against the implementation of the War Measures Act in the House of Commons and four voted with the Liberal government . They took much grief for being the only parliamentarians to vote against it , dropping to an approval rating of seven per cent in public opinion polls . Lewis , speaking for the party at a press scrum that day : The information we do have , showed a situation of criminal acts and criminal conspiracy in Quebec . But , there is no information that there was unintended , or apprehended , or planned insurrection , which alone , would justify invoking the War Measures Act . Douglas voiced similar criticism : The government , I submit , is using a sledgehammer to crack a peanut . About five years later , many of the MPs who voted to implement it regretted doing so , and belatedly honoured Douglas and Lewis for their stand against it . Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield went so far as to say that , Quite frankly , Ive admired Tommy Douglas and David Lewis , and those fellows in the NDP for having the courage to vote against that , although they took a lot of abuse at the time .. . I dont brood about it . Im not proud of it . Late career and retirement . Douglas resigned as NDP leader in 1971 , but retained his seat in the House of Commons . Around the same time as the leadership convention held to replace him , he asked the party not to buy him an elaborate parting gift . Instead , he and his friend and political mentor M . J . Coldwell were honoured by the party with the creation of the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation in 1971 . He served as the NDPs energy critic under the new leader , David Lewis . He was re-elected in the riding of Nanaimo–Cowichan–The Islands in the 1972 and 1974 elections . He retired from politics in 1979 and served on the board of directors of Husky Oil , an Alberta oil and gas exploration company that had holdings in Saskatchewan . In 1980 , Douglas was awarded a Doctor of Laws degree honoris causa by Carleton University in Ottawa . On 22 June 1981 , Douglas was appointed to the Order of Canada as a Companion for his service as a political leader , and innovator in public policy . In 1985 , he was appointed to the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and Brandon University created a students union building in honour of Douglas and his old friend , Stanley Knowles . In June 1984 , Douglas was injured when he was struck by a bus , but he quickly recovered and on his 80th birthday he claimed to The Globe and Mail that he usually walked up to five miles a day . By this point in his life his memory was beginning to slow down and he stopped accepting speaking engagements but remained active in the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation . Later that year , on 30 November , he became a member of the Queens Privy Council for Canada . Douglas died of cancer on 24 February 1986 , at the age of 81 in Ottawa and was buried at Beechwood Cemetery . In a national TV contest , conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) in 2004 , he was crowned Greatest Canadian by viewers in an online vote . Tributes . Douglas Provincial Park near Saskatchewans Lake Diefenbaker and QuAppelle River Dam was named after him . The statue The Greatest Canadian , created by Lea Vivot , was erected in his hometown of Weyburn in September 2010 and unveiled by his grandson Kiefer Sutherland . A library located in Burnaby , British Columbia , was named in his honour and had its soft opening on 17 November 2009 . Several schools have been named after him , including Tommy Douglas Collegiate in Saskatoon , and a student housing co-op in Toronto , Campus Co-operative Residences , named one of their houses after him as well . The Tommy Douglas Secondary School in Vaughan , Ontario , Canada named in his honour opened in February 2015 . Internationally the former National Labor College in Silver Spring , Maryland , was renamed the Tommy Douglas Center after its purchase by the Amalgamated Transit Union in 2014 . In March 2019 , a plaque commemorating Douglas as the Father of Medicare was revealed in Regina , Saskatchewan . Artistic depiction . In the two CBC Television mini-series about Pierre Trudeau , Trudeau and Trudeau II : Maverick in the Making , Douglas is portrayed by Eric Peterson . In the biography mini-series , , which aired on 12 and 13 March 2006 , also on CBC , Douglas was played by Michael Therriault . The movie was widely derided by critics as being historically inaccurate . Particularly , the movies portrayal of James Gardiner , premier of Saskatchewan from the late 1920s to mid-1930s , was objected to by political historians and the Gardiner family itself . In response , the CBC consulted a third party historian to review the film and pulled it from future broadcasts , including halting all home and educational sales . Prairie Giant was shown in Asia on the Hallmark Channel on 11 and 12 June 2007 . Douglas was also the subject of a 1986 National Film Board of Canada documentary Tommy Douglas : Keeper of the Flame , which received the Gemini Award for Best Writing in a Documentary Program or Series . Douglas was mentioned in the Michael Moore documentary Sicko , which compared the health care system in the United States with that of Canada and other countries . Fables . The Cream Separator is a fable , written by Douglas , which aims to explain the inherent injustices of the capitalist system as it relates to the agricultural sector by making the analogy that the upper class gets the cream , the middle class gets the whole milk , and the farmers and industrial workers get a watery substance that barely resembles milk . He was also known for his retelling of the fable of Mouseland , which likens the majority of voters to mice , and how they either elect black or white cats as their politicians , but never their own mice : meaning that workers and their general interests were not being served by electing wealthy politicians from the Liberal or Conservative parties ( black and white cats ) , and that only a party from their class ( mice ) , originally the CCF , later the NDP , could serve their interests ( mice ) . Years later , his grandson , television actor Kiefer Sutherland , provided the introduction to a Mouseland animated video that used a Douglas Mouseland speech as its narration . Honorary degrees . Douglas received honorary degrees from several universities , including - University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan ( LLD ) in 1962 - McMaster University in Hamilton , Ontario ( LLD ) in May 1969 - Queens University in Kingston , Ontario ( LLD ) on 27 May 1972 - University of Regina in Regina , Saskatchewan in 1978 - Carleton University in Ottawa , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1980 - University of Toronto in Toronto , Ontario ( LLD ) in June 1980 - University of British Columbia in Vancouver , British Columbia , ( LLD ) 27 May 1981 - Trent University in Peterborough , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1983 Archives .

"Premier of Saskatchewan"
] | easy | Tommy Douglas took which position from Jul 1944 to Aug 1961? | /wiki/Tommy_Douglas#P39#2 | Tommy Douglas Thomas Clement Douglas ( 20 October 1904 – 24 February 1986 ) was a Scottish Canadian politician who served as Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961 and Leader of the New Democratic Party from 1961 to 1971 . A Baptist minister , he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in 1935 as a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) . He left federal politics to become Leader of the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and then the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan . His cabinet was the first democratic socialist government in North America and it introduced the continents first single-payer , universal health care program . After setting up Saskatchewans universal healthcare program , Douglas stepped down and ran to lead the newly formed federal New Democratic Party ( NDP ) , the successor party of the national CCF . He was elected as its first federal leader in 1961 . Although Douglas never led the party to government , through much of his tenure the party held the balance of power in the House of Commons . He was noted as being the main opposition to the imposition of the War Measures Act during the 1970 October Crisis . He resigned as leader the next year , but remained as a Member of Parliament until 1979 . Douglas was awarded many honorary degrees , and a foundation was named for him and his political mentor M . J . Coldwell in 1971 . In 1981 , he was invested into the Order of Canada , and he became a member of Canadas Privy Council in 1984 , two years before his death . In 2004 , a CBC Television program named Tommy Douglas The Greatest Canadian , based on a Canada-wide , viewer-supported survey . Early life . Thomas Clement Douglas was born in 1904 in Camelon , Falkirk , Scotland , the son of Annie ( née Clement ) and Thomas Douglas , an iron moulder who fought in the Boer War . In 1910 , his family immigrated to Canada , where they settled in Winnipeg . Shortly before he left Scotland , Douglas fell and injured his right knee . Osteomyelitis set in and he underwent a number of operations in Scotland in an attempt to cure the condition . Later in Winnipeg , the osteomyelitis flared up again , and Douglas was sent to hospital . Doctors there told his parents his leg would have to be amputated ; however , a well-known orthopedic surgeon took interest and agreed to treat him for free if his parents allowed medical students to observe . After several operations , Douglass leg was saved . This experience convinced him that health care should be free to all . Many years later , Douglas told an interviewer : I felt that no boy should have to depend either for his leg or his life upon the ability of his parents to raise enough money to bring a first-class surgeon to his bedside . During World War I , the family went back to Glasgow . They returned to Winnipeg in late 1918 , in time for Douglas to witness the Winnipeg general strike . From a rooftop vantage point on Main Street , he witnessed the police charging the strikers with clubs and guns , and a streetcar being overturned and set on fire . He also witnessed the RCMP shoot and kill one of the workers . This incident influenced Douglas later in life by cementing his commitment to protect fundamental freedoms in a Bill of Rights when he was Premier of Saskatchewan . In 1920 , at the age of 15 , Douglas began an amateur career in boxing at the One Big Union gym in Winnipeg . Weighing , Douglas fought in 1922 for the Lightweight Championship of Manitoba , and won the title after a six-round fight . Douglas sustained a broken nose , a loss of some teeth , and a strained hand and thumb . He held the title the following year . In 1930 , Douglas married Irma Dempsey , a music student at Brandon College . They had one daughter , actress Shirley Douglas , and they later adopted a second daughter , Joan , who became a nurse . Actor Kiefer Sutherland , son of daughter Shirley and actor Donald Sutherland , is his grandson . Education . Douglas started elementary school in Winnipeg . He completed his elementary education after returning to Glasgow . He worked as a soap boy in a barber shop , rubbing lather into tough whiskers , then dropped out of high school at 13 after landing a job in a cork factory . The owner offered to pay Douglass way through night school so that he could learn Portuguese and Spanish , languages that would enable him to become a cork buyer . However , the family returned to Winnipeg when the war ended and Douglas entered the printing trades . He served a five-year apprenticeship and worked as a Linotype operator finally acquiring his journeymans papers , but decided to return to school to pursue his ambition to become an ordained minister . Brandon University . In 1924 , the 19-year-old Douglas enrolled at Brandon College , a Baptist school affiliated with McMaster University , to finish high school and study theology . During his six years at the college , he was influenced by the Social Gospel movement , which combined Christian principles with social reform . Liberal-minded professors at Brandon encouraged students to question their fundamentalist religious beliefs . Christianity , they suggested , was just as concerned with the pursuit of social justice as it was with the struggle for individual salvation . Douglas took a course in socialism at Brandon and studied Greek philosophy . He came first in his class during his first three years , then competed for gold medals in his last three with a newly arrived student named Stanley Knowles . Both later became ministers of religion and prominent left-wing politicians . Douglas was extremely active in extracurricular activities . Among other things , he became a champion debater , wrote for the school newspaper and participated in student government winning election as Senior Stick , or president of the student body , in his final year . Douglas financed his education at Brandon College by conducting Sunday services at several rural churches for 15 dollars a week . A shortage of ordained clergy forced smaller congregations to rely on student ministers . Douglas reported later that he preached sermons advocating social reform and helping the poor : [ T ] he Bible is like a bull fiddle .. . you can play almost any tune you want on it . He added that his interest in social and economic questions led him to preach about building a society and building institutions that would uplift mankind . He also earned money delivering entertaining monologues and poetry recitations at church suppers and service club meetings for five dollars a performance . During his second and third years at the college , he preached at a Presbyterian church in Carberry , Manitoba . There he met a farmers daughter named Irma Dempsey who would later become his wife . MA thesis on eugenics . Douglas graduated from Brandon College in 1930 , and completed his Master of Arts degree in sociology at McMaster University in 1933 . His thesis , entitled The Problems of the Subnormal Family , endorsed eugenics a popular movement of the time . The thesis proposed a system that would have required couples seeking to marry to be certified as mentally and morally fit . Those deemed to be subnormal , because of low intelligence , moral laxity , or venereal disease would be sent to state farms or camps ; while those judged to be mentally defective or incurably diseased would be sterilized . Douglas rarely mentioned his thesis later in his life , and his government never enacted eugenics policies , even though two official reviews of Saskatchewans mental health system recommended such a program when he became Premier and Minister of Health . As Premier , Douglas opposed the adoption of eugenics laws . By the time Douglas took office in 1944 , many people questioned eugenics due to Nazi Germanys embrace of it in its effort to create a master race . Instead , Douglas implemented vocational training for the mentally handicapped and therapy for those suffering from mental disorders . PhD research in Chicago . In the summer of 1931 , Douglas continued his studies in sociology at the University of Chicago . He never completed his PhD thesis , but was deeply disturbed by his field work in the Depression-era jungles or hobo camps where about 75,000 transients sheltered in lean-tos venturing out by day to beg or to steal . Douglas interviewed men who once belonged to the American middle class—despondent bank clerks , lawyers and doctors . Douglas said later : There were little soup kitchens run by the Salvation Army and the churches .. . In the first half-hour theyd be cleaned out . After that there was nothing .. . It was impossible to describe the hopelessness . Douglas was equally disturbed that members of the Socialist Party sat around quoting Marx and Lenin , waiting for a revolution while refusing to help the destitute . Douglas said : That experience soured me with absolutists .. . Ive no patience with people who want to sit back and talk about a blueprint for society and do nothing about it . From pulpit to politics . Two months after Douglas graduated from Brandon College , he married Irma Dempsey and the two moved to the small town of Weyburn , Saskatchewan , where he became an ordained minister at the Calvary Baptist Church . Irma was 19 , while Douglas was 25 . With the onset of the Depression , Douglas became a social activist in Weyburn , and joined the new Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) political party . He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1935 federal election . During the September 1939 special House of Commons debate on entering the war , Douglas , who had visited Nazi Germany in 1936 and was disgusted by what he saw , supported going to war against Hitler . He was not a pacifist , unlike his partys leader , J . S . Woodsworth , and stated his reasons : Douglas and Coldwells position was eventually adopted by the CCF National Council , but they also did not admonish Woodsworths pacifist stand , and allowed him to put it forward in the House . Douglas assisted Woodsworth , during his leaders speech , by holding up the pages and turning them for him , even though he disagreed with him . Woodsworth had suffered a stroke earlier in the year and he needed someone to hold his notes , and Douglas still held him in very high regard , and dutifully assisted his leader . After the outbreak of World War II , Douglas enlisted in the wartime Canadian Army . He had volunteered for overseas service when a medical examination turned up his old leg problems . Douglas stayed in Canada and the Grenadiers headed for Hong Kong . If not for that ailment , he would likely have been with the regiment when its members were killed or captured at Hong Kong in December 1941 . Premier of Saskatchewan . Despite being a federal Member of Parliament and not yet an MLA , Douglas was elected the leader of the Saskatchewan CCF in 1942 after successfully challenging the incumbent leader , George Hara Williams , but did not resign from the House of Commons until 1 June 1944 . He led the CCF to power in the 1944 provincial election , winning 47 of 53 seats in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan , and thus forming the first social democratic government in not only Canada , but all of North America . As premier , Douglas attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953 . Douglas and the Saskatchewan CCF then went on to win five straight majority victories in all subsequent Saskatchewan provincial elections up to 1960 . Most of his governments pioneering innovations came about during its first term , including : - the creation of the publicly owned Saskatchewan Power Corporation , successor to the Saskatchewan Electrical Power Commission , which began a long program of extending electrical service to isolated farms and villages ; - the creation of Canadas first publicly owned automotive insurance service , the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Office ; - the creation of a large number of crown corporations , many of which competed with existing private sector interests ; - legislation that allowed the unionization of the public service ; - a program to offer taxpayer-funded hospital care to all citizens—the first in North America . - passage of the Saskatchewan Bill of Rights , legislation that broke new ground as it protected both fundamental freedoms and equality rights against abuse not only by government actors but also on the part of powerful private institutions and persons . ( The Saskatchewan Bill of Rights preceded the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations by 18 months. ) Douglas was the first head of any government in Canada to call for a constitutional bill of rights . This he did at a federal-provincial conference in Quebec City in January 1950 . No one in attendance at the conference supported him in this . Ten years later , Premier Jean Lesage of Quebec joined with Douglas at a First Ministers Conference in July 1960 in advocating for a constitutional bill of rights . Thus , respectable momentum was given to the idea that finally came to fruition , on 17 April 1982 , with the proclamation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Thanks to a booming postwar economy and the prudent financial management of provincial treasurer Clarence Fines , the Douglas government slowly paid off the huge public debt left by the previous Liberal government , and created a budget surplus for the Saskatchewan government . Coupled with a federal government promise in 1959 to give even more tax money for medical care , this paved the way for Douglass most notable achievement , the introduction of universal health care legislation in 1961 . Medicare . Douglass number one concern was the creation of Medicare . He introduced medical insurance reform in his first term , and gradually moved the province towards universal medicare near the end of his last term . In the summer of 1962 , Saskatchewan became the centre of a hard-fought struggle between the provincial government , the North American medical establishment , and the provinces physicians , who brought things to a halt with the 1962 Saskatchewan doctors strike . The doctors believed their best interests were not being met and feared a significant loss of income as well as government interference in medical care decisions even though Douglas agreed that his government would pay the going rate for service that doctors charged . The medical establishment claimed that Douglas would import foreign doctors to make his plan work and used racist images to try to scare the public . Douglas is widely known as the father of Medicare , but the Saskatchewan universal program was finally launched by his successor , Woodrow Lloyd , in 1962 . Douglas stepped down as premier and as a member of the legislature the previous year , to lead the newly formed federal successor to the CCF , the New Democratic Party of Canada ( NDP ) . The success of the provinces public health care program was not lost on the federal government . Another Saskatchewan politician , newly elected Prime Minister John Diefenbaker , decreed in 1958 that any province seeking to introduce a hospital plan would receive 50 cents on the dollar from the federal government . In 1962 , Diefenbaker appointed Justice Emmett Hall—also of Saskatchewan , a noted jurist and Supreme Court Justice—to Chair a Royal Commission on the national health system—the Royal Commission on Health Services . In 1964 , Justice Hall recommended a nationwide adoption of Saskatchewans model of public health insurance . In 1966 , the Liberal minority government of Lester B . Pearson created such a program , with the federal government paying 50% of the costs and the provinces the other half . The adoption of public health care across Canada ended up being the work of three men with diverse political ideals – Douglas of the CCF , Diefenbaker of the Progressive Conservatives , and Pearson of the Liberals . Federal NDP leader . Election . The 1958 Canadian general election was a disaster for the CCF ; its caucus was reduced to eight , and party leader M . J . Coldwell lost his own seat . The CCF executive knew that their party was dying and needed radical change . The executive persuaded Coldwell to remain as leader , but the party also needed a leader in the House of Commons to replace him , because he obviously was no longer a Member of Parliament . The CCF parliamentary caucus chose Hazen Argue as its new leader in the House . During the lead-up to the 1960 CCF convention , Argue was pressing Coldwell to step down ; this leadership challenge jeopardized plans for an orderly transition to the new party that was being planned by the CCF and the Canadian Labour Congress . CCF national president David Lewis – who succeeded Coldwell as president in 1958 , when the national chairman and national president positions were merged – and the rest of the new partys organizers opposed Argues manoeuvres and wanted Douglas to be the new partys first leader . To prevent their plans from being derailed , Lewis unsuccessfully attempted to persuade Argue not to force a vote at the convention on the question of the partys leadership , and there was a split between the parliamentary caucus and the party executive on the convention floor . Coldwell stepped down as leader , and Argue replaced him , becoming the partys final national leader . As far back as 1941 , Coldwell wanted Douglas to succeed him in leading the National CCF ( at that time , it was obvious that Coldwell would be assuming the national leadership in the near future ) . When the time came for the New Party to form , in 1961 , Coldwell pressured Douglas to run for the leadership . Coldwell did not trust Argue , and many in the CCF leadership thought that he was already having secret meetings with the Liberals with a view to a party merger . Also , Coldwell and Douglas thought Lewis would not be a viable alternative to Argue because Lewis was not likely to defeat Argue ; this was partly due to Lewis lack of a parliamentary seat but also , and likely more importantly , because his role as party disciplinarian over the years had made him many enemies , enough to potentially prevent him from winning the leadership . Douglas , after much consultation with Coldwell , Lewis , and his caucus , decided in June 1961 to reluctantly contest the leadership of the New Party . He handily defeated Argue on 3 August 1961 at the first NDP leadership convention in Ottawa , and became the new partys first leader . Six months later , Argue crossed the floor and became a Liberal . House of Commons , Act II . Douglas resigned from provincial politics and sought election to the House of Commons in the riding of Regina City in 1962 , but was defeated by Ken More . He was later elected in a by-election in the riding of Burnaby—Coquitlam , British Columbia . Re-elected as MP for that riding in the 1963 and 1965 elections , Douglas lost the redistricted seat of Burnaby—Seymour in the 1968 federal election . He won a seat again in a 1969 by-election in the riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan—The Islands , following the death of Colin Cameron in 1968 , and represented it until his retirement from electoral politics in 1979 . While the NDP did better in elections than its CCF predecessor , the party did not experience the breakthrough it had hoped for . Despite this , Douglas was greatly respected by party members and Canadians at large as the party wielded considerable influence during Lester Pearsons minority governments in the mid-1960s . Views on homosexuality . During the 1968 Federal Election , Douglas described homosexuality as a treatable illness by saying its a mental illness [ and ] a psychiatric condition . Rather than treating it as a criminal offence with imprisonment , Douglas believed it could be treated by psychiatrists and social workers . This view of homosexuality was mainstream at the time , but has since raised questions about how historical figures are remembered . The War Measures Act , 1970 . The October 1970 Quebec FLQ Crisis put Douglas and David Lewis—now a Member of Parliament—on the hotseat , with Lewis being the only NDP MP with any roots in Quebec . He and Lewis were opposed to 16 October implementation of the War Measures Act . The act , enacted previously only for wartime purposes , imposed extreme limitations on civil liberties , and gave the police and military vastly expanded powers for arresting and detaining suspects , usually with little to no evidence required . Although it was only meant to be used in Quebec , since it was federal legislation , it was in force throughout Canada . Some police services , from outside of Quebec , took advantage of it for their own purposes , which mostly had nothing even remotely related to the Quebec situation , as Lewis and Douglas suspected . During a second vote on 19 October , sixteen of the twenty members of the NDP parliamentary caucus voted against the implementation of the War Measures Act in the House of Commons and four voted with the Liberal government . They took much grief for being the only parliamentarians to vote against it , dropping to an approval rating of seven per cent in public opinion polls .

He was re-elected in the riding of Nanaimo–Cowichan–The Islands in the 1972 and 1974 elections . He retired from politics in 1979 and served on the board of directors of Husky Oil , an Alberta oil and gas exploration company that had holdings in Saskatchewan . In 1980 , Douglas was awarded a Doctor of Laws degree honoris causa by Carleton University in Ottawa . On 22 June 1981 , Douglas was appointed to the Order of Canada as a Companion for his service as a political leader , and innovator in public policy .

] | easy | Which position did Tommy Douglas hold from Aug 1961 to Feb 1969? | /wiki/Tommy_Douglas#P39#3 | Tommy Douglas Thomas Clement Douglas ( 20 October 1904 – 24 February 1986 ) was a Scottish Canadian politician who served as Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961 and Leader of the New Democratic Party from 1961 to 1971 . A Baptist minister , he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in 1935 as a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) . He left federal politics to become Leader of the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and then the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan . His cabinet was the first democratic socialist government in North America and it introduced the continents first single-payer , universal health care program . After setting up Saskatchewans universal healthcare program , Douglas stepped down and ran to lead the newly formed federal New Democratic Party ( NDP ) , the successor party of the national CCF . He was elected as its first federal leader in 1961 . Although Douglas never led the party to government , through much of his tenure the party held the balance of power in the House of Commons . He was noted as being the main opposition to the imposition of the War Measures Act during the 1970 October Crisis . He resigned as leader the next year , but remained as a Member of Parliament until 1979 . Douglas was awarded many honorary degrees , and a foundation was named for him and his political mentor M . J . Coldwell in 1971 . In 1981 , he was invested into the Order of Canada , and he became a member of Canadas Privy Council in 1984 , two years before his death . In 2004 , a CBC Television program named Tommy Douglas The Greatest Canadian , based on a Canada-wide , viewer-supported survey . Early life . Thomas Clement Douglas was born in 1904 in Camelon , Falkirk , Scotland , the son of Annie ( née Clement ) and Thomas Douglas , an iron moulder who fought in the Boer War . In 1910 , his family immigrated to Canada , where they settled in Winnipeg . Shortly before he left Scotland , Douglas fell and injured his right knee . Osteomyelitis set in and he underwent a number of operations in Scotland in an attempt to cure the condition . Later in Winnipeg , the osteomyelitis flared up again , and Douglas was sent to hospital . Doctors there told his parents his leg would have to be amputated ; however , a well-known orthopedic surgeon took interest and agreed to treat him for free if his parents allowed medical students to observe . After several operations , Douglass leg was saved . This experience convinced him that health care should be free to all . Many years later , Douglas told an interviewer : I felt that no boy should have to depend either for his leg or his life upon the ability of his parents to raise enough money to bring a first-class surgeon to his bedside . During World War I , the family went back to Glasgow . They returned to Winnipeg in late 1918 , in time for Douglas to witness the Winnipeg general strike . From a rooftop vantage point on Main Street , he witnessed the police charging the strikers with clubs and guns , and a streetcar being overturned and set on fire . He also witnessed the RCMP shoot and kill one of the workers . This incident influenced Douglas later in life by cementing his commitment to protect fundamental freedoms in a Bill of Rights when he was Premier of Saskatchewan . In 1920 , at the age of 15 , Douglas began an amateur career in boxing at the One Big Union gym in Winnipeg . Weighing , Douglas fought in 1922 for the Lightweight Championship of Manitoba , and won the title after a six-round fight . Douglas sustained a broken nose , a loss of some teeth , and a strained hand and thumb . He held the title the following year . In 1930 , Douglas married Irma Dempsey , a music student at Brandon College . They had one daughter , actress Shirley Douglas , and they later adopted a second daughter , Joan , who became a nurse . Actor Kiefer Sutherland , son of daughter Shirley and actor Donald Sutherland , is his grandson . Education . Douglas started elementary school in Winnipeg . He completed his elementary education after returning to Glasgow . He worked as a soap boy in a barber shop , rubbing lather into tough whiskers , then dropped out of high school at 13 after landing a job in a cork factory . The owner offered to pay Douglass way through night school so that he could learn Portuguese and Spanish , languages that would enable him to become a cork buyer . However , the family returned to Winnipeg when the war ended and Douglas entered the printing trades . He served a five-year apprenticeship and worked as a Linotype operator finally acquiring his journeymans papers , but decided to return to school to pursue his ambition to become an ordained minister . Brandon University . In 1924 , the 19-year-old Douglas enrolled at Brandon College , a Baptist school affiliated with McMaster University , to finish high school and study theology . During his six years at the college , he was influenced by the Social Gospel movement , which combined Christian principles with social reform . Liberal-minded professors at Brandon encouraged students to question their fundamentalist religious beliefs . Christianity , they suggested , was just as concerned with the pursuit of social justice as it was with the struggle for individual salvation . Douglas took a course in socialism at Brandon and studied Greek philosophy . He came first in his class during his first three years , then competed for gold medals in his last three with a newly arrived student named Stanley Knowles . Both later became ministers of religion and prominent left-wing politicians . Douglas was extremely active in extracurricular activities . Among other things , he became a champion debater , wrote for the school newspaper and participated in student government winning election as Senior Stick , or president of the student body , in his final year . Douglas financed his education at Brandon College by conducting Sunday services at several rural churches for 15 dollars a week . A shortage of ordained clergy forced smaller congregations to rely on student ministers . Douglas reported later that he preached sermons advocating social reform and helping the poor : [ T ] he Bible is like a bull fiddle .. . you can play almost any tune you want on it . He added that his interest in social and economic questions led him to preach about building a society and building institutions that would uplift mankind . He also earned money delivering entertaining monologues and poetry recitations at church suppers and service club meetings for five dollars a performance . During his second and third years at the college , he preached at a Presbyterian church in Carberry , Manitoba . There he met a farmers daughter named Irma Dempsey who would later become his wife . MA thesis on eugenics . Douglas graduated from Brandon College in 1930 , and completed his Master of Arts degree in sociology at McMaster University in 1933 . His thesis , entitled The Problems of the Subnormal Family , endorsed eugenics a popular movement of the time . The thesis proposed a system that would have required couples seeking to marry to be certified as mentally and morally fit . Those deemed to be subnormal , because of low intelligence , moral laxity , or venereal disease would be sent to state farms or camps ; while those judged to be mentally defective or incurably diseased would be sterilized . Douglas rarely mentioned his thesis later in his life , and his government never enacted eugenics policies , even though two official reviews of Saskatchewans mental health system recommended such a program when he became Premier and Minister of Health . As Premier , Douglas opposed the adoption of eugenics laws . By the time Douglas took office in 1944 , many people questioned eugenics due to Nazi Germanys embrace of it in its effort to create a master race . Instead , Douglas implemented vocational training for the mentally handicapped and therapy for those suffering from mental disorders . PhD research in Chicago . In the summer of 1931 , Douglas continued his studies in sociology at the University of Chicago . He never completed his PhD thesis , but was deeply disturbed by his field work in the Depression-era jungles or hobo camps where about 75,000 transients sheltered in lean-tos venturing out by day to beg or to steal . Douglas interviewed men who once belonged to the American middle class—despondent bank clerks , lawyers and doctors . Douglas said later : There were little soup kitchens run by the Salvation Army and the churches .. . In the first half-hour theyd be cleaned out . After that there was nothing .. . It was impossible to describe the hopelessness . Douglas was equally disturbed that members of the Socialist Party sat around quoting Marx and Lenin , waiting for a revolution while refusing to help the destitute . Douglas said : That experience soured me with absolutists .. . Ive no patience with people who want to sit back and talk about a blueprint for society and do nothing about it . From pulpit to politics . Two months after Douglas graduated from Brandon College , he married Irma Dempsey and the two moved to the small town of Weyburn , Saskatchewan , where he became an ordained minister at the Calvary Baptist Church . Irma was 19 , while Douglas was 25 . With the onset of the Depression , Douglas became a social activist in Weyburn , and joined the new Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) political party . He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1935 federal election . During the September 1939 special House of Commons debate on entering the war , Douglas , who had visited Nazi Germany in 1936 and was disgusted by what he saw , supported going to war against Hitler . He was not a pacifist , unlike his partys leader , J . S . Woodsworth , and stated his reasons : Douglas and Coldwells position was eventually adopted by the CCF National Council , but they also did not admonish Woodsworths pacifist stand , and allowed him to put it forward in the House . Douglas assisted Woodsworth , during his leaders speech , by holding up the pages and turning them for him , even though he disagreed with him . Woodsworth had suffered a stroke earlier in the year and he needed someone to hold his notes , and Douglas still held him in very high regard , and dutifully assisted his leader . After the outbreak of World War II , Douglas enlisted in the wartime Canadian Army . He had volunteered for overseas service when a medical examination turned up his old leg problems . Douglas stayed in Canada and the Grenadiers headed for Hong Kong . If not for that ailment , he would likely have been with the regiment when its members were killed or captured at Hong Kong in December 1941 . Premier of Saskatchewan . Despite being a federal Member of Parliament and not yet an MLA , Douglas was elected the leader of the Saskatchewan CCF in 1942 after successfully challenging the incumbent leader , George Hara Williams , but did not resign from the House of Commons until 1 June 1944 . He led the CCF to power in the 1944 provincial election , winning 47 of 53 seats in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan , and thus forming the first social democratic government in not only Canada , but all of North America . As premier , Douglas attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953 . Douglas and the Saskatchewan CCF then went on to win five straight majority victories in all subsequent Saskatchewan provincial elections up to 1960 . Most of his governments pioneering innovations came about during its first term , including : - the creation of the publicly owned Saskatchewan Power Corporation , successor to the Saskatchewan Electrical Power Commission , which began a long program of extending electrical service to isolated farms and villages ; - the creation of Canadas first publicly owned automotive insurance service , the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Office ; - the creation of a large number of crown corporations , many of which competed with existing private sector interests ; - legislation that allowed the unionization of the public service ; - a program to offer taxpayer-funded hospital care to all citizens—the first in North America . - passage of the Saskatchewan Bill of Rights , legislation that broke new ground as it protected both fundamental freedoms and equality rights against abuse not only by government actors but also on the part of powerful private institutions and persons . ( The Saskatchewan Bill of Rights preceded the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations by 18 months. ) Douglas was the first head of any government in Canada to call for a constitutional bill of rights . This he did at a federal-provincial conference in Quebec City in January 1950 . No one in attendance at the conference supported him in this . Ten years later , Premier Jean Lesage of Quebec joined with Douglas at a First Ministers Conference in July 1960 in advocating for a constitutional bill of rights . Thus , respectable momentum was given to the idea that finally came to fruition , on 17 April 1982 , with the proclamation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Thanks to a booming postwar economy and the prudent financial management of provincial treasurer Clarence Fines , the Douglas government slowly paid off the huge public debt left by the previous Liberal government , and created a budget surplus for the Saskatchewan government . Coupled with a federal government promise in 1959 to give even more tax money for medical care , this paved the way for Douglass most notable achievement , the introduction of universal health care legislation in 1961 . Medicare . Douglass number one concern was the creation of Medicare . He introduced medical insurance reform in his first term , and gradually moved the province towards universal medicare near the end of his last term . In the summer of 1962 , Saskatchewan became the centre of a hard-fought struggle between the provincial government , the North American medical establishment , and the provinces physicians , who brought things to a halt with the 1962 Saskatchewan doctors strike . The doctors believed their best interests were not being met and feared a significant loss of income as well as government interference in medical care decisions even though Douglas agreed that his government would pay the going rate for service that doctors charged . The medical establishment claimed that Douglas would import foreign doctors to make his plan work and used racist images to try to scare the public . Douglas is widely known as the father of Medicare , but the Saskatchewan universal program was finally launched by his successor , Woodrow Lloyd , in 1962 . Douglas stepped down as premier and as a member of the legislature the previous year , to lead the newly formed federal successor to the CCF , the New Democratic Party of Canada ( NDP ) . The success of the provinces public health care program was not lost on the federal government . Another Saskatchewan politician , newly elected Prime Minister John Diefenbaker , decreed in 1958 that any province seeking to introduce a hospital plan would receive 50 cents on the dollar from the federal government . In 1962 , Diefenbaker appointed Justice Emmett Hall—also of Saskatchewan , a noted jurist and Supreme Court Justice—to Chair a Royal Commission on the national health system—the Royal Commission on Health Services . In 1964 , Justice Hall recommended a nationwide adoption of Saskatchewans model of public health insurance . In 1966 , the Liberal minority government of Lester B . Pearson created such a program , with the federal government paying 50% of the costs and the provinces the other half . The adoption of public health care across Canada ended up being the work of three men with diverse political ideals – Douglas of the CCF , Diefenbaker of the Progressive Conservatives , and Pearson of the Liberals . Federal NDP leader . Election . The 1958 Canadian general election was a disaster for the CCF ; its caucus was reduced to eight , and party leader M . J . Coldwell lost his own seat . The CCF executive knew that their party was dying and needed radical change . The executive persuaded Coldwell to remain as leader , but the party also needed a leader in the House of Commons to replace him , because he obviously was no longer a Member of Parliament . The CCF parliamentary caucus chose Hazen Argue as its new leader in the House . During the lead-up to the 1960 CCF convention , Argue was pressing Coldwell to step down ; this leadership challenge jeopardized plans for an orderly transition to the new party that was being planned by the CCF and the Canadian Labour Congress . CCF national president David Lewis – who succeeded Coldwell as president in 1958 , when the national chairman and national president positions were merged – and the rest of the new partys organizers opposed Argues manoeuvres and wanted Douglas to be the new partys first leader . To prevent their plans from being derailed , Lewis unsuccessfully attempted to persuade Argue not to force a vote at the convention on the question of the partys leadership , and there was a split between the parliamentary caucus and the party executive on the convention floor . Coldwell stepped down as leader , and Argue replaced him , becoming the partys final national leader . As far back as 1941 , Coldwell wanted Douglas to succeed him in leading the National CCF ( at that time , it was obvious that Coldwell would be assuming the national leadership in the near future ) . When the time came for the New Party to form , in 1961 , Coldwell pressured Douglas to run for the leadership . Coldwell did not trust Argue , and many in the CCF leadership thought that he was already having secret meetings with the Liberals with a view to a party merger . Also , Coldwell and Douglas thought Lewis would not be a viable alternative to Argue because Lewis was not likely to defeat Argue ; this was partly due to Lewis lack of a parliamentary seat but also , and likely more importantly , because his role as party disciplinarian over the years had made him many enemies , enough to potentially prevent him from winning the leadership . Douglas , after much consultation with Coldwell , Lewis , and his caucus , decided in June 1961 to reluctantly contest the leadership of the New Party . He handily defeated Argue on 3 August 1961 at the first NDP leadership convention in Ottawa , and became the new partys first leader . Six months later , Argue crossed the floor and became a Liberal . House of Commons , Act II . Douglas resigned from provincial politics and sought election to the House of Commons in the riding of Regina City in 1962 , but was defeated by Ken More . He was later elected in a by-election in the riding of Burnaby—Coquitlam , British Columbia . Re-elected as MP for that riding in the 1963 and 1965 elections , Douglas lost the redistricted seat of Burnaby—Seymour in the 1968 federal election . He won a seat again in a 1969 by-election in the riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan—The Islands , following the death of Colin Cameron in 1968 , and represented it until his retirement from electoral politics in 1979 . While the NDP did better in elections than its CCF predecessor , the party did not experience the breakthrough it had hoped for . Despite this , Douglas was greatly respected by party members and Canadians at large as the party wielded considerable influence during Lester Pearsons minority governments in the mid-1960s . Views on homosexuality . During the 1968 Federal Election , Douglas described homosexuality as a treatable illness by saying its a mental illness [ and ] a psychiatric condition . Rather than treating it as a criminal offence with imprisonment , Douglas believed it could be treated by psychiatrists and social workers . This view of homosexuality was mainstream at the time , but has since raised questions about how historical figures are remembered . The War Measures Act , 1970 . The October 1970 Quebec FLQ Crisis put Douglas and David Lewis—now a Member of Parliament—on the hotseat , with Lewis being the only NDP MP with any roots in Quebec . He and Lewis were opposed to 16 October implementation of the War Measures Act . The act , enacted previously only for wartime purposes , imposed extreme limitations on civil liberties , and gave the police and military vastly expanded powers for arresting and detaining suspects , usually with little to no evidence required . Although it was only meant to be used in Quebec , since it was federal legislation , it was in force throughout Canada . Some police services , from outside of Quebec , took advantage of it for their own purposes , which mostly had nothing even remotely related to the Quebec situation , as Lewis and Douglas suspected . During a second vote on 19 October , sixteen of the twenty members of the NDP parliamentary caucus voted against the implementation of the War Measures Act in the House of Commons and four voted with the Liberal government . They took much grief for being the only parliamentarians to vote against it , dropping to an approval rating of seven per cent in public opinion polls . Lewis , speaking for the party at a press scrum that day : The information we do have , showed a situation of criminal acts and criminal conspiracy in Quebec . But , there is no information that there was unintended , or apprehended , or planned insurrection , which alone , would justify invoking the War Measures Act . Douglas voiced similar criticism : The government , I submit , is using a sledgehammer to crack a peanut . About five years later , many of the MPs who voted to implement it regretted doing so , and belatedly honoured Douglas and Lewis for their stand against it . Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield went so far as to say that , Quite frankly , Ive admired Tommy Douglas and David Lewis , and those fellows in the NDP for having the courage to vote against that , although they took a lot of abuse at the time .. . I dont brood about it . Im not proud of it . Late career and retirement . Douglas resigned as NDP leader in 1971 , but retained his seat in the House of Commons . Around the same time as the leadership convention held to replace him , he asked the party not to buy him an elaborate parting gift . Instead , he and his friend and political mentor M . J . Coldwell were honoured by the party with the creation of the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation in 1971 . He served as the NDPs energy critic under the new leader , David Lewis . He was re-elected in the riding of Nanaimo–Cowichan–The Islands in the 1972 and 1974 elections . He retired from politics in 1979 and served on the board of directors of Husky Oil , an Alberta oil and gas exploration company that had holdings in Saskatchewan . In 1980 , Douglas was awarded a Doctor of Laws degree honoris causa by Carleton University in Ottawa . On 22 June 1981 , Douglas was appointed to the Order of Canada as a Companion for his service as a political leader , and innovator in public policy . In 1985 , he was appointed to the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and Brandon University created a students union building in honour of Douglas and his old friend , Stanley Knowles . In June 1984 , Douglas was injured when he was struck by a bus , but he quickly recovered and on his 80th birthday he claimed to The Globe and Mail that he usually walked up to five miles a day . By this point in his life his memory was beginning to slow down and he stopped accepting speaking engagements but remained active in the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation . Later that year , on 30 November , he became a member of the Queens Privy Council for Canada . Douglas died of cancer on 24 February 1986 , at the age of 81 in Ottawa and was buried at Beechwood Cemetery . In a national TV contest , conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) in 2004 , he was crowned Greatest Canadian by viewers in an online vote . Tributes . Douglas Provincial Park near Saskatchewans Lake Diefenbaker and QuAppelle River Dam was named after him . The statue The Greatest Canadian , created by Lea Vivot , was erected in his hometown of Weyburn in September 2010 and unveiled by his grandson Kiefer Sutherland . A library located in Burnaby , British Columbia , was named in his honour and had its soft opening on 17 November 2009 . Several schools have been named after him , including Tommy Douglas Collegiate in Saskatoon , and a student housing co-op in Toronto , Campus Co-operative Residences , named one of their houses after him as well . The Tommy Douglas Secondary School in Vaughan , Ontario , Canada named in his honour opened in February 2015 . Internationally the former National Labor College in Silver Spring , Maryland , was renamed the Tommy Douglas Center after its purchase by the Amalgamated Transit Union in 2014 . In March 2019 , a plaque commemorating Douglas as the Father of Medicare was revealed in Regina , Saskatchewan . Artistic depiction . In the two CBC Television mini-series about Pierre Trudeau , Trudeau and Trudeau II : Maverick in the Making , Douglas is portrayed by Eric Peterson . In the biography mini-series , , which aired on 12 and 13 March 2006 , also on CBC , Douglas was played by Michael Therriault . The movie was widely derided by critics as being historically inaccurate . Particularly , the movies portrayal of James Gardiner , premier of Saskatchewan from the late 1920s to mid-1930s , was objected to by political historians and the Gardiner family itself . In response , the CBC consulted a third party historian to review the film and pulled it from future broadcasts , including halting all home and educational sales . Prairie Giant was shown in Asia on the Hallmark Channel on 11 and 12 June 2007 . Douglas was also the subject of a 1986 National Film Board of Canada documentary Tommy Douglas : Keeper of the Flame , which received the Gemini Award for Best Writing in a Documentary Program or Series . Douglas was mentioned in the Michael Moore documentary Sicko , which compared the health care system in the United States with that of Canada and other countries . Fables . The Cream Separator is a fable , written by Douglas , which aims to explain the inherent injustices of the capitalist system as it relates to the agricultural sector by making the analogy that the upper class gets the cream , the middle class gets the whole milk , and the farmers and industrial workers get a watery substance that barely resembles milk . He was also known for his retelling of the fable of Mouseland , which likens the majority of voters to mice , and how they either elect black or white cats as their politicians , but never their own mice : meaning that workers and their general interests were not being served by electing wealthy politicians from the Liberal or Conservative parties ( black and white cats ) , and that only a party from their class ( mice ) , originally the CCF , later the NDP , could serve their interests ( mice ) . Years later , his grandson , television actor Kiefer Sutherland , provided the introduction to a Mouseland animated video that used a Douglas Mouseland speech as its narration . Honorary degrees . Douglas received honorary degrees from several universities , including - University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan ( LLD ) in 1962 - McMaster University in Hamilton , Ontario ( LLD ) in May 1969 - Queens University in Kingston , Ontario ( LLD ) on 27 May 1972 - University of Regina in Regina , Saskatchewan in 1978 - Carleton University in Ottawa , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1980 - University of Toronto in Toronto , Ontario ( LLD ) in June 1980 - University of British Columbia in Vancouver , British Columbia , ( LLD ) 27 May 1981 - Trent University in Peterborough , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1983 Archives .

Two months after Douglas graduated from Brandon College , he married Irma Dempsey and the two moved to the small town of Weyburn , Saskatchewan , where he became an ordained minister at the Calvary Baptist Church . Irma was 19 , while Douglas was 25 . With the onset of the Depression , Douglas became a social activist in Weyburn , and joined the new Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) political party . He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1935 federal election . During the September 1939 special House of Commons debate on entering the war , Douglas , who had visited Nazi Germany in 1936 and was disgusted by what he saw , supported going to war against Hitler . He was not a pacifist , unlike his partys leader , J . S . Woodsworth , and stated his reasons : Douglas and Coldwells position was eventually adopted by the CCF National Council , but they also did not admonish Woodsworths pacifist stand , and allowed him to put it forward in the House . Douglas assisted Woodsworth , during his leaders speech , by holding up the pages and turning them for him , even though he disagreed with him . Woodsworth had suffered a stroke earlier in the year and he needed someone to hold his notes , and Douglas still held him in very high regard , and dutifully assisted his leader . After the outbreak of World War II , Douglas enlisted in the wartime Canadian Army . He had volunteered for overseas service when a medical examination turned up his old leg problems . Douglas stayed in Canada and the Grenadiers headed for Hong Kong . If not for that ailment , he would likely have been with the regiment when its members were killed or captured at Hong Kong in December 1941 . Premier of Saskatchewan . Despite being a federal Member of Parliament and not yet an MLA , Douglas was elected the leader of the Saskatchewan CCF in 1942 after successfully challenging the incumbent leader , George Hara Williams , but did not resign from the House of Commons until 1 June 1944 . He led the CCF to power in the 1944 provincial election , winning 47 of 53 seats in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan , and thus forming the first social democratic government in not only Canada , but all of North America . As premier , Douglas attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953 . Douglas and the Saskatchewan CCF then went on to win five straight majority victories in all subsequent Saskatchewan provincial elections up to 1960 . Most of his governments pioneering innovations came about during its first term , including : - the creation of the publicly owned Saskatchewan Power Corporation , successor to the Saskatchewan Electrical Power Commission , which began a long program of extending electrical service to isolated farms and villages ; - the creation of Canadas first publicly owned automotive insurance service , the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Office ; - the creation of a large number of crown corporations , many of which competed with existing private sector interests ; - legislation that allowed the unionization of the public service ; - a program to offer taxpayer-funded hospital care to all citizens—the first in North America . - passage of the Saskatchewan Bill of Rights , legislation that broke new ground as it protected both fundamental freedoms and equality rights against abuse not only by government actors but also on the part of powerful private institutions and persons . ( The Saskatchewan Bill of Rights preceded the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations by 18 months. ) Douglas was the first head of any government in Canada to call for a constitutional bill of rights . This he did at a federal-provincial conference in Quebec City in January 1950 . No one in attendance at the conference supported him in this . Ten years later , Premier Jean Lesage of Quebec joined with Douglas at a First Ministers Conference in July 1960 in advocating for a constitutional bill of rights . Thus , respectable momentum was given to the idea that finally came to fruition , on 17 April 1982 , with the proclamation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Thanks to a booming postwar economy and the prudent financial management of provincial treasurer Clarence Fines , the Douglas government slowly paid off the huge public debt left by the previous Liberal government , and created a budget surplus for the Saskatchewan government . Coupled with a federal government promise in 1959 to give even more tax money for medical care , this paved the way for Douglass most notable achievement , the introduction of universal health care legislation in 1961 . Medicare . Douglass number one concern was the creation of Medicare . He introduced medical insurance reform in his first term , and gradually moved the province towards universal medicare near the end of his last term . In the summer of 1962 , Saskatchewan became the centre of a hard-fought struggle between the provincial government , the North American medical establishment , and the provinces physicians , who brought things to a halt with the 1962 Saskatchewan doctors strike . The doctors believed their best interests were not being met and feared a significant loss of income as well as government interference in medical care decisions even though Douglas agreed that his government would pay the going rate for service that doctors charged . The medical establishment claimed that Douglas would import foreign doctors to make his plan work and used racist images to try to scare the public . Douglas is widely known as the father of Medicare , but the Saskatchewan universal program was finally launched by his successor , Woodrow Lloyd , in 1962 . Douglas stepped down as premier and as a member of the legislature the previous year , to lead the newly formed federal successor to the CCF , the New Democratic Party of Canada ( NDP ) . The success of the provinces public health care program was not lost on the federal government . Another Saskatchewan politician , newly elected Prime Minister John Diefenbaker , decreed in 1958 that any province seeking to introduce a hospital plan would receive 50 cents on the dollar from the federal government . In 1962 , Diefenbaker appointed Justice Emmett Hall—also of Saskatchewan , a noted jurist and Supreme Court Justice—to Chair a Royal Commission on the national health system—the Royal Commission on Health Services . In 1964 , Justice Hall recommended a nationwide adoption of Saskatchewans model of public health insurance . In 1966 , the Liberal minority government of Lester B . Pearson created such a program , with the federal government paying 50% of the costs and the provinces the other half . The adoption of public health care across Canada ended up being the work of three men with diverse political ideals – Douglas of the CCF , Diefenbaker of the Progressive Conservatives , and Pearson of the Liberals . Federal NDP leader . Election . The 1958 Canadian general election was a disaster for the CCF ; its caucus was reduced to eight , and party leader M . J . Coldwell lost his own seat . The CCF executive knew that their party was dying and needed radical change . The executive persuaded Coldwell to remain as leader , but the party also needed a leader in the House of Commons to replace him , because he obviously was no longer a Member of Parliament . The CCF parliamentary caucus chose Hazen Argue as its new leader in the House . During the lead-up to the 1960 CCF convention , Argue was pressing Coldwell to step down ; this leadership challenge jeopardized plans for an orderly transition to the new party that was being planned by the CCF and the Canadian Labour Congress . CCF national president David Lewis – who succeeded Coldwell as president in 1958 , when the national chairman and national president positions were merged – and the rest of the new partys organizers opposed Argues manoeuvres and wanted Douglas to be the new partys first leader . To prevent their plans from being derailed , Lewis unsuccessfully attempted to persuade Argue not to force a vote at the convention on the question of the partys leadership , and there was a split between the parliamentary caucus and the party executive on the convention floor . Coldwell stepped down as leader , and Argue replaced him , becoming the partys final national leader . As far back as 1941 , Coldwell wanted Douglas to succeed him in leading the National CCF ( at that time , it was obvious that Coldwell would be assuming the national leadership in the near future ) . When the time came for the New Party to form , in 1961 , Coldwell pressured Douglas to run for the leadership . Coldwell did not trust Argue , and many in the CCF leadership thought that he was already having secret meetings with the Liberals with a view to a party merger . Also , Coldwell and Douglas thought Lewis would not be a viable alternative to Argue because Lewis was not likely to defeat Argue ; this was partly due to Lewis lack of a parliamentary seat but also , and likely more importantly , because his role as party disciplinarian over the years had made him many enemies , enough to potentially prevent him from winning the leadership . Douglas , after much consultation with Coldwell , Lewis , and his caucus , decided in June 1961 to reluctantly contest the leadership of the New Party . He handily defeated Argue on 3 August 1961 at the first NDP leadership convention in Ottawa , and became the new partys first leader . Six months later , Argue crossed the floor and became a Liberal . House of Commons , Act II . Douglas resigned from provincial politics and sought election to the House of Commons in the riding of Regina City in 1962 , but was defeated by Ken More . He was later elected in a by-election in the riding of Burnaby—Coquitlam , British Columbia . Re-elected as MP for that riding in the 1963 and 1965 elections , Douglas lost the redistricted seat of Burnaby—Seymour in the 1968 federal election . He won a seat again in a 1969 by-election in the riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan—The Islands , following the death of Colin Cameron in 1968 , and represented it until his retirement from electoral politics in 1979 . While the NDP did better in elections than its CCF predecessor , the party did not experience the breakthrough it had hoped for . Despite this , Douglas was greatly respected by party members and Canadians at large as the party wielded considerable influence during Lester Pearsons minority governments in the mid-1960s . Views on homosexuality . During the 1968 Federal Election , Douglas described homosexuality as a treatable illness by saying its a mental illness [ and ] a psychiatric condition . Rather than treating it as a criminal offence with imprisonment , Douglas believed it could be treated by psychiatrists and social workers . This view of homosexuality was mainstream at the time , but has since raised questions about how historical figures are remembered . The War Measures Act , 1970 . The October 1970 Quebec FLQ Crisis put Douglas and David Lewis—now a Member of Parliament—on the hotseat , with Lewis being the only NDP MP with any roots in Quebec . He and Lewis were opposed to 16 October implementation of the War Measures Act . The act , enacted previously only for wartime purposes , imposed extreme limitations on civil liberties , and gave the police and military vastly expanded powers for arresting and detaining suspects , usually with little to no evidence required . Although it was only meant to be used in Quebec , since it was federal legislation , it was in force throughout Canada . Some police services , from outside of Quebec , took advantage of it for their own purposes , which mostly had nothing even remotely related to the Quebec situation , as Lewis and Douglas suspected . During a second vote on 19 October , sixteen of the twenty members of the NDP parliamentary caucus voted against the implementation of the War Measures Act in the House of Commons and four voted with the Liberal government . They took much grief for being the only parliamentarians to vote against it , dropping to an approval rating of seven per cent in public opinion polls . Lewis , speaking for the party at a press scrum that day : The information we do have , showed a situation of criminal acts and criminal conspiracy in Quebec . But , there is no information that there was unintended , or apprehended , or planned insurrection , which alone , would justify invoking the War Measures Act . Douglas voiced similar criticism : The government , I submit , is using a sledgehammer to crack a peanut . About five years later , many of the MPs who voted to implement it regretted doing so , and belatedly honoured Douglas and Lewis for their stand against it . Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield went so far as to say that , Quite frankly , Ive admired Tommy Douglas and David Lewis , and those fellows in the NDP for having the courage to vote against that , although they took a lot of abuse at the time .. . I dont brood about it . Im not proud of it . Late career and retirement . Douglas resigned as NDP leader in 1971 , but retained his seat in the House of Commons . Around the same time as the leadership convention held to replace him , he asked the party not to buy him an elaborate parting gift . Instead , he and his friend and political mentor M . J . Coldwell were honoured by the party with the creation of the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation in 1971 . He served as the NDPs energy critic under the new leader , David Lewis . He was re-elected in the riding of Nanaimo–Cowichan–The Islands in the 1972 and 1974 elections . He retired from politics in 1979 and served on the board of directors of Husky Oil , an Alberta oil and gas exploration company that had holdings in Saskatchewan . In 1980 , Douglas was awarded a Doctor of Laws degree honoris causa by Carleton University in Ottawa . On 22 June 1981 , Douglas was appointed to the Order of Canada as a Companion for his service as a political leader , and innovator in public policy . In 1985 , he was appointed to the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and Brandon University created a students union building in honour of Douglas and his old friend , Stanley Knowles . In June 1984 , Douglas was injured when he was struck by a bus , but he quickly recovered and on his 80th birthday he claimed to The Globe and Mail that he usually walked up to five miles a day . By this point in his life his memory was beginning to slow down and he stopped accepting speaking engagements but remained active in the Douglas–Coldwell Foundation . Later that year , on 30 November , he became a member of the Queens Privy Council for Canada . Douglas died of cancer on 24 February 1986 , at the age of 81 in Ottawa and was buried at Beechwood Cemetery . In a national TV contest , conducted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) in 2004 , he was crowned Greatest Canadian by viewers in an online vote . Tributes . Douglas Provincial Park near Saskatchewans Lake Diefenbaker and QuAppelle River Dam was named after him . The statue The Greatest Canadian , created by Lea Vivot , was erected in his hometown of Weyburn in September 2010 and unveiled by his grandson Kiefer Sutherland . A library located in Burnaby , British Columbia , was named in his honour and had its soft opening on 17 November 2009 . Several schools have been named after him , including Tommy Douglas Collegiate in Saskatoon , and a student housing co-op in Toronto , Campus Co-operative Residences , named one of their houses after him as well . The Tommy Douglas Secondary School in Vaughan , Ontario , Canada named in his honour opened in February 2015 . Internationally the former National Labor College in Silver Spring , Maryland , was renamed the Tommy Douglas Center after its purchase by the Amalgamated Transit Union in 2014 . In March 2019 , a plaque commemorating Douglas as the Father of Medicare was revealed in Regina , Saskatchewan . Artistic depiction . In the two CBC Television mini-series about Pierre Trudeau , Trudeau and Trudeau II : Maverick in the Making , Douglas is portrayed by Eric Peterson . In the biography mini-series , , which aired on 12 and 13 March 2006 , also on CBC , Douglas was played by Michael Therriault . The movie was widely derided by critics as being historically inaccurate . Particularly , the movies portrayal of James Gardiner , premier of Saskatchewan from the late 1920s to mid-1930s , was objected to by political historians and the Gardiner family itself . In response , the CBC consulted a third party historian to review the film and pulled it from future broadcasts , including halting all home and educational sales . Prairie Giant was shown in Asia on the Hallmark Channel on 11 and 12 June 2007 . Douglas was also the subject of a 1986 National Film Board of Canada documentary Tommy Douglas : Keeper of the Flame , which received the Gemini Award for Best Writing in a Documentary Program or Series . Douglas was mentioned in the Michael Moore documentary Sicko , which compared the health care system in the United States with that of Canada and other countries . Fables . The Cream Separator is a fable , written by Douglas , which aims to explain the inherent injustices of the capitalist system as it relates to the agricultural sector by making the analogy that the upper class gets the cream , the middle class gets the whole milk , and the farmers and industrial workers get a watery substance that barely resembles milk . He was also known for his retelling of the fable of Mouseland , which likens the majority of voters to mice , and how they either elect black or white cats as their politicians , but never their own mice : meaning that workers and their general interests were not being served by electing wealthy politicians from the Liberal or Conservative parties ( black and white cats ) , and that only a party from their class ( mice ) , originally the CCF , later the NDP , could serve their interests ( mice ) . Years later , his grandson , television actor Kiefer Sutherland , provided the introduction to a Mouseland animated video that used a Douglas Mouseland speech as its narration . Honorary degrees . Douglas received honorary degrees from several universities , including - University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan ( LLD ) in 1962 - McMaster University in Hamilton , Ontario ( LLD ) in May 1969 - Queens University in Kingston , Ontario ( LLD ) on 27 May 1972 - University of Regina in Regina , Saskatchewan in 1978 - Carleton University in Ottawa , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1980 - University of Toronto in Toronto , Ontario ( LLD ) in June 1980 - University of British Columbia in Vancouver , British Columbia , ( LLD ) 27 May 1981 - Trent University in Peterborough , Ontario ( LLD ) in 1983 Archives .

She is the current President of Prairie View A&M University , a historically black university . Simmons previously served as the 18th president of Brown University from 2001 to 2012 , where she was the first African American president of an Ivy League institution . Prior to Brown , she headed Smith College , one of the Seven Sisters and the largest womens college in the United States , beginning in 1995 . On December 4 , 2017 , she was officially named the eighth president of Prairie View A&M University . Early life and education . Simmons was born in Grapeland , Texas , the last of 12 children of Fanny ( née Campbell ) and Isaac Stubblefield . Her father was a sharecropper , until the family moved to Houston during her school years . Her paternal grandfather descends partly from the Benza and Kota people , slaves from Gabon , while her maternal line is traced back to the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean who were enslaved by the Spaniards . She earned her bachelors degree , on scholarship , from Dillard University in New Orleans , Louisiana , in 1967 . She went on to earn her masters and doctorate in Romance literature from Harvard University in 1970 and 1973 , respectively . Early academic positions . Simmons was an assistant professor of French at the University of New Orleans from 1973-1976 and Assistant Dean of the UNO College of Liberal Arts from 1975–76 . She moved to California State University , Northridge in 1977 as administrative coordinator of its NEH Liberal Studies Project . From 1978–79 , she was acting director of CSU-Northridges International Programs and visiting associate professor of Pan-African Studies . Simmons moved to the University of Southern California in 1979 as assistant dean of graduate studies , and then as associate dean of graduate studies . She moved to Princeton University in 1983 and served as assistant dean of faculty and then associate dean of faculty from 1986 to 1990 . Simmons served as provost at Spelman College from 1990 to 1991 and returned to Princeton as its vice provost from 1992 to 1995 . Smith College presidency . In 1995 Simmons became the first African-American woman to head a major college or university when she was selected as president of Smith College , which she led until 2001 . As president of Smith College , Simmons started the first engineering program in a U.S . womans college . Brown University presidency . Simmons was elected Browns first female president in November 2000 , assuming that office in October 2001 , succeeding Gordon Gee . She also held appointments as a professor in the Departments of Comparative Literature and Africana Studies . In 2002 , Newsweek selected her as a Ms . Woman of the Year , while in 2001 , Time named her as Americas best college president . At Brown , she completed a $1.4 billion initiative - the largest in Browns history - known as Boldly Brown : The Campaign for Academic Enrichment in order to enhance Browns academic programs . In 2004 , former Brown student Sidney E . Frank made the largest aggregate monetary contribution to Brown in its history in the amount of $120 million . The Frank gifts were principally devoted to scholarship assistance to Brown students and to Browns programs in the sciences . By early 2007 , philanthropist Warren Alpert made a similarly generous contribution to strengthen the programs of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in the amount of $100 million , matching the core portion of the Sidney Frank gift to Brown . As reported in a May 22 , 2009 , press release , Brown chancellor Thomas J . Tisch announced early accomplishment of the $1.4 billion fundraising campaign and the continued pursuit of specific subsidiary goals in support of endowments for student scholarships , the Brown faculty and internationalization programs through the originally planned campaign completion date of December 31 , 2010 . In a 2006 orientation meeting with parents , Simmons denied interest in the presidency of Harvard University , which at the time was headed by an interim president , Derek Bok . Nevertheless , a 2007 New York Times article , featuring a photograph of Simmons , reported that the Harvard Corporation , responsible for selecting the universitys replacement for former president Lawrence Summers , had been given a list of potential candidates that included her name . In August 2007 , Simmons was invited to deliver the 60th Annual Reading of the historic 1790 George Washington at the Synagogue in Newport , Rhode Island in response to Moses Seixas on the subject of religious pluralism . According to a March 2009 poll by The Brown Daily Herald , Simmons had more than an 80% approval rating among Brown undergraduates . In September 2011 , Simmons announced that she would step down from her position as Brown President at the end of the 2011–12 academic year , originally saying she would remain at Brown as a professor of comparative literature and Africana studies . She was succeeded as Brown President on June 30 , 2012 , by Christina Paxson . Goldman Sachs role and compensation . Simmons earned annual compensation of over $300,000 from Goldman Sachs ( on top of her annual salary from Brown of over $500,000 ) while serving on the Goldman board of directors during the late-2000s financial crisis ; in addition , she left the Goldman board ( which she had joined in 2000 ) in 2009 with over $4.3 million in Goldman stock . During her term on Goldmans board , she also served on the compensation committee of Goldmans ten-person board , which decided how large Goldman executives post-crash bonuses would be ; these bonuses included a $68 million bonus for the companys chairman and CEO , Lloyd C . Blankfein , in 2007 and a $9 million bonus in 2009 after Goldman received money in the federal TARP bailout . The revelations of Simmonss role received intense criticism from both alumni and students , with a then-sophomore stating that Simmonss actions brought shame on the university . Simmons was cited in the 2010 film Inside Job , as an example of the conflicts of interest between university economics departments and deregulation of financial institutions . Transnational initiatives at Brown . As the wealth that the founding Brown family contributed to the university was based in part on the triangular slave trade , in 2003 , Simmons established the University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice to examine this complex history and make recommendations for how the university might approach the relevant issues . The Report of the Brown University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice was subsequently published . On February 16 , 2007 , at an event celebrating the 200-year anniversary of the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807 and the involvement of Cambridge University alumni William Wilberforce , Thomas Clarkson and William Pitt the Younger , Simmons delivered a lecture at St . Johns College , Cambridge , entitled Hidden in Plain Sight : Slavery and Justice in Rhode Island . Also in February 2007 , Brown University published its official Response to the Report of the Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice following completion of the historic inquiry undertaken by the committee appointed by Simmons . The bicentenary of the British abolition of the slave trade was also commemorated at Oxford University , notably at Rhodes House . In October 2007 , Simmons appointed David W . Kennedy , the former Manley O . Hudson Professor of Law at Harvard Law School , as vice president for international affairs . In addition to supporting the leadership of the Watson Institute for International Studies , the new university officer will lead a multidisciplinary advanced research project in the field of global law , governance and social thought to strengthen the Universitys international work in the social sciences .

] | easy | Where was Gloria Long Anderson educated from 1957 to 1958? | /wiki/Gloria_Long_Anderson#P69#0 | Gloria Long Anderson Gloria Long Anderson ( born November 5 , 1938 ) is the Fuller E . Callaway Professor of Chemistry at Morris Brown College , and its vice president for academic affairs . She has served as interim president of Morris Brown , and as vice chair of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting . She was a pioneer in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy , and is known for her studies of fluorine-19 and solid rocket propellants . Early life . Anderson was born November 5 , 1938 , in Altheimer , Arkansas , where she was raised . She is the fourth child , and only girl , in a family of six children . In an interview with Jeanette E . Brown , she explains that she did not feel different , despite being the only girl , because I mostly played sports along with them , like basketball , softball , and that kind of stuff . ( ... ) My youngest brother would play dolls with me and the rest of them would not , but you know , I really didnt think too much about it . She is the daughter of Elsie Lee Foggie Long , a seamstress , and Charles Long , a sharecropper , with a tenth and third grade education , respectively . They lived in a mixed-race , segregated farming community . Later , both her parents worked at the Pine Bluff Arsenal , her mother in the Armament Division and her father as a janitor . Growing up , she was expected to help with farm work , and years later , explained : In those days we didnt know we were living in poverty . Her parents prioritized her education ( and the education of her brothers with three of her brothers also attended the University of Arkansas ) . They allowed her to start elementary school at the age of four ( they didnt check very carefully in those days ) , by which time she had already learned to read . She attended segregated public schools , including the Altheimer Training School . She was an excellent student who skipped grades , graduating high school valedictorian at age 16 , in 1954 . The faculty at Altheimer Trainer School was entirely African American , and was highly encouraging of their students . She explained that the teachers pushed us to succeed , to excel , because they had a vested interest in turning out successful , well-educated students . They cared , intimately , about us doing well . The school offered very little science education , and very little math . Very few jobs were available for African American women in Altheimer , so Anderson chose to attend college , hoping to pursue a career . She hadnt planned to pursue a career a science , and had instead considered careers in physical education and interior decorating . Education . Bachelors Degree . Anderson started studying at the Arkansas Agricultural , Mechanical , and Normal College , a state-supported school for African Americans . She received a small scholarship in her first year , followed by a Rockefeller Foundation College Scholarship between 1956 and 1958 in recognition of her stellar grades . As part of the scholarship , she worked as a teaching assistant , helping in the chemistry classes . She also worked during the summer , working in a candy factory in Chicago between her junior and senior years . Despite not having studied chemistry in high school , she had initially signed up to the chemistry courses on a dare , because chemistry was considered to be the most difficult major . She graduated with a degree in chemistry and mathematics in 1958 , as the valedictorian , summa cum laude , first in a class of 237 . Dr . Martin Luther King Jr . was the commencement speaker at her graduation , and he was a source of inspiration throughout her life . Though she was accepted to graduate school at Stanford University , she was unable to study there for lack of funding . She was then rejected for a position at the Ralston Purina Company as a chemist because she was African-American . She later said that they did me a favor by not hiring me , but I didnt realize it at the time . Masters Degree . With no other options , Anderson taught geography , reading and arithmetic in seventh grade at a school in Altheimer for six months ( even though , by her own admission , I didnt even know any more about geography than the students did ) . She was then offered a National Science Foundation grant by Kimuel Alonzo Huggins , the chair of the Atlanta University chemistry department , to study for a Masters degree in chemistry . Upon her marriage to Leonard Sinclair Anderson in 1960 , she almost dropped out of the program due to financial difficulty , despite the fellowship . Dr . Huggins intervened again , and provided her with research funding so that she could continue studying in his lab . She accepted , even she didnt particularly like his research topic . Anderson earned her Masters degree in organic chemistry at Atlanta in 1961 , with a thesis supervised by Dr . Huggins on a novel synthesis process of butadiene , titled : Studies on 1- ( 4-Methylphenyl ) -1,3-Butadiene . She taught for a year at South Carolina State College in Orangeburg . Anderson then moved back to Atlanta , to Morehouse College . She was contacted by Henry Cecil Ransom McBay , the father of black chemists in the United States , who had made it his mission to seek out and train talented African American chemists . Anderson worked for him as a chemistry instructor and research assistant for two years . In her own words , Anderson loved teaching organic chemistry , because , first of all , I learned a whole lot of organic chemistry while I was teaching it . McBay encouraged her to pursue her doctoral studies . PhD . Anderson began her doctoral studies at the University of Chicago ( McBays alma mater ) in 1965 , and received a research and teaching assistantship . In her first year , she was the only Black , full-time organic chemistry student . She tutored white women chemistry students in her first year , but decided to focus on herself when she realized that , due to the prevalent racism of the time , they had advantages she did not have . In her interview with Jeannette E . Brown , she recounts an incident in which she failed a first-year exam ( prelims , the first time I had ever failed anything in my life ) and received the recommendation that she should not take it over . Though everyone in the class had failed the prelim , most of them received the recommendation to take it over . When she confronted her advisor , he told her that she had achieved the second highest score in the group . Because of this , Anderson spent the summer looking for a job in Chicago , and poring through her physical organic chemistry textbook . She later received a phone call from the University of Chicago , with a job offer to work with Dr . Leon Stock as a research assistant . To test her skills , he set her the assignment which none of his students had so far managed to complete : to make 9-fluora-anthracene from a procedure detailed in a French paper . Anderson , never having studied French , went to the bookstore , bought a French dictionary , translated the paper , and carried out the experiment successfully on her first try . She later took the prelim test again , and passed . She had enjoyed her experience in Dr . Stocks lab , so she continued her research with him , working on the nuclear magnetic resonance and CF infrared frequency shifts of fluorine-19 , and published at least one paper before she had completed her dissertation ( which they wrote over the weekend ) . Anderson would work in the lab during the day , then on her dissertation at night at home . She was a pioneer in the field of fluorine Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ( NMR ) spectroscopy ( didnt nobody know how to operate it but me ) . Throughout her time at the University of Chicago , she was mentored by Thomas Cole ( who later became president of Clark Atlanta University ) . Cole was working as a teaching assistant , and was the one who taught her the basics of NMR . Anderson received her physical organic chemistry Ph.D . in 1968 . Her thesis was titled : 19F Chemical Shifts For Bicyclic and Aromatic Molecules . In the paper which resulted from her thesis , she coins the term substituent chemical shift . Career . Academia . In 1968 , Anderson chose to conduct her post-doctoral research at a historically Black college ( it didnt make a difference which one ) in the wake of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr . in April of that year , and considered this her contribution to the American civil rights movement . She knew at the time that this choice was considered by some of her friends to be professional suicide , and she herself believes that she could have accomplished much more in a different setting . However , she was firm in her resolution , and turned down offers from majority white universities over the course of her career . In her interview with Jeannette E . Brown , she explained her motivation : I wanted to go to a Black college to allow the students to have the opportunity to get the kind of education that I had gotten ; because I felt coming from where I came from that it was almost impossible for me to get the kind of training I had gotten . ( ... ) I squeezed through the wire mesh fence . On Dr McBays advice , Anderson applied for the position of chair at Morris Brown Colleges department of chemistry in Atlanta . She was awarded the position , and became associate professor at the college . As chair of the chemistry department , she made substantial improvements so that it could be approved by the American Chemical Society . Despite receiving other offers of employment , Anderson chose to remain at Morris Brown because of the educational philosophy at Morris Brown , in that Morris Brown takes in some of the brightest students there are , but at the same time , Morris Brown allows students who are not in upper echelon to come in here . On top of her teaching commitments , starting in the summer of 1969 Anderson carried out post-doctoral research at the Georgia Institute of Technology , working with Dr . Charles L . Liotta on Studies on the mechanism of epoxidation . Anderson explains that when she joined Morris Brown , the Vice President of Academic Affairs told her that it was a teaching institution , and that if she wanted to carry out research , you do that on your own time . So , she says : I did it in on my own time . I worked in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays . ( ... ) I was determined to do [ research ] . But more importantly , I love research , and I still love research . Anderson continued her research continued on fluorine-19 and its interactions with other atoms , using it to probe synthesis reactions . Andersons research has also covered epoxidation mechanisms , solid-fuel rocket propellants , antiviral drug synthesis , fluoridated pharmaceutical compounds , and substituted amantadines . Her work has been applied to antiviral drugs . She received patents for her work in 2001 and 2009 . Throughout her career , she struggled to receive funding , and attributes much of this to the racism of the time . She used money from her own salary to fund her research . In her 2009 interview with Jeanette E . Brown , she explains : it became clear to me that if I was at Morris Brown College , a college with did not have a history of research in chemistry or biology like that , that nobody was going to give me any money for research . ( ... ) So , I decided , well , Im going to do research no matter what . ( ... ) I paid [ students ] out of my pocket , and I charged that on my credit card . Even today , I dont know how much I owe the patent lawyers , but I have paid for all those patents stuff , myself . In 1973 , she became the Fuller E . Callaway Professor of Chemistry and Chair , which she returned to in 1990 after serving as Dean of Academic Affairs from 1984 to 1989 . Anderson worked as a National Science Foundation Research Fellow ( 1981 ) and Research Consultant ( 1982 ) for the Lockheed Georgia Corporation , and later as SCEE Faculty Research Fellow for the U.S Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory at the Edwards Air Force Base ( 1984 ) . She also worked as a consultant for IPECS Holland , a Dutch chemical and pharmaceutical research company ( 1990 ) . Anderson became Morris Browns interim president twice , from 1992 to 1993 and in 1998 , and was Dean of Science and Technology from 1995 to 1997 . Since 1999 and , she is the Fuller E .

] | easy | Which school did Gloria Long Anderson go to from 1958 to 1961? | /wiki/Gloria_Long_Anderson#P69#1 | Gloria Long Anderson Gloria Long Anderson ( born November 5 , 1938 ) is the Fuller E . Callaway Professor of Chemistry at Morris Brown College , and its vice president for academic affairs . She has served as interim president of Morris Brown , and as vice chair of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting . She was a pioneer in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy , and is known for her studies of fluorine-19 and solid rocket propellants . Early life . Anderson was born November 5 , 1938 , in Altheimer , Arkansas , where she was raised . She is the fourth child , and only girl , in a family of six children . In an interview with Jeanette E . Brown , she explains that she did not feel different , despite being the only girl , because I mostly played sports along with them , like basketball , softball , and that kind of stuff . ( ... ) My youngest brother would play dolls with me and the rest of them would not , but you know , I really didnt think too much about it . She is the daughter of Elsie Lee Foggie Long , a seamstress , and Charles Long , a sharecropper , with a tenth and third grade education , respectively . They lived in a mixed-race , segregated farming community . Later , both her parents worked at the Pine Bluff Arsenal , her mother in the Armament Division and her father as a janitor . Growing up , she was expected to help with farm work , and years later , explained : In those days we didnt know we were living in poverty . Her parents prioritized her education ( and the education of her brothers with three of her brothers also attended the University of Arkansas ) . They allowed her to start elementary school at the age of four ( they didnt check very carefully in those days ) , by which time she had already learned to read . She attended segregated public schools , including the Altheimer Training School . She was an excellent student who skipped grades , graduating high school valedictorian at age 16 , in 1954 . The faculty at Altheimer Trainer School was entirely African American , and was highly encouraging of their students . She explained that the teachers pushed us to succeed , to excel , because they had a vested interest in turning out successful , well-educated students . They cared , intimately , about us doing well . The school offered very little science education , and very little math . Very few jobs were available for African American women in Altheimer , so Anderson chose to attend college , hoping to pursue a career . She hadnt planned to pursue a career a science , and had instead considered careers in physical education and interior decorating . Education . Bachelors Degree . Anderson started studying at the Arkansas Agricultural , Mechanical , and Normal College , a state-supported school for African Americans . She received a small scholarship in her first year , followed by a Rockefeller Foundation College Scholarship between 1956 and 1958 in recognition of her stellar grades . As part of the scholarship , she worked as a teaching assistant , helping in the chemistry classes . She also worked during the summer , working in a candy factory in Chicago between her junior and senior years . Despite not having studied chemistry in high school , she had initially signed up to the chemistry courses on a dare , because chemistry was considered to be the most difficult major . She graduated with a degree in chemistry and mathematics in 1958 , as the valedictorian , summa cum laude , first in a class of 237 . Dr . Martin Luther King Jr . was the commencement speaker at her graduation , and he was a source of inspiration throughout her life . Though she was accepted to graduate school at Stanford University , she was unable to study there for lack of funding . She was then rejected for a position at the Ralston Purina Company as a chemist because she was African-American . She later said that they did me a favor by not hiring me , but I didnt realize it at the time . Masters Degree . With no other options , Anderson taught geography , reading and arithmetic in seventh grade at a school in Altheimer for six months ( even though , by her own admission , I didnt even know any more about geography than the students did ) . She was then offered a National Science Foundation grant by Kimuel Alonzo Huggins , the chair of the Atlanta University chemistry department , to study for a Masters degree in chemistry . Upon her marriage to Leonard Sinclair Anderson in 1960 , she almost dropped out of the program due to financial difficulty , despite the fellowship . Dr . Huggins intervened again , and provided her with research funding so that she could continue studying in his lab . She accepted , even she didnt particularly like his research topic . Anderson earned her Masters degree in organic chemistry at Atlanta in 1961 , with a thesis supervised by Dr . Huggins on a novel synthesis process of butadiene , titled : Studies on 1- ( 4-Methylphenyl ) -1,3-Butadiene . She taught for a year at South Carolina State College in Orangeburg . Anderson then moved back to Atlanta , to Morehouse College . She was contacted by Henry Cecil Ransom McBay , the father of black chemists in the United States , who had made it his mission to seek out and train talented African American chemists . Anderson worked for him as a chemistry instructor and research assistant for two years . In her own words , Anderson loved teaching organic chemistry , because , first of all , I learned a whole lot of organic chemistry while I was teaching it . McBay encouraged her to pursue her doctoral studies . PhD . Anderson began her doctoral studies at the University of Chicago ( McBays alma mater ) in 1965 , and received a research and teaching assistantship . In her first year , she was the only Black , full-time organic chemistry student . She tutored white women chemistry students in her first year , but decided to focus on herself when she realized that , due to the prevalent racism of the time , they had advantages she did not have . In her interview with Jeannette E . Brown , she recounts an incident in which she failed a first-year exam ( prelims , the first time I had ever failed anything in my life ) and received the recommendation that she should not take it over . Though everyone in the class had failed the prelim , most of them received the recommendation to take it over . When she confronted her advisor , he told her that she had achieved the second highest score in the group . Because of this , Anderson spent the summer looking for a job in Chicago , and poring through her physical organic chemistry textbook . She later received a phone call from the University of Chicago , with a job offer to work with Dr . Leon Stock as a research assistant . To test her skills , he set her the assignment which none of his students had so far managed to complete : to make 9-fluora-anthracene from a procedure detailed in a French paper . Anderson , never having studied French , went to the bookstore , bought a French dictionary , translated the paper , and carried out the experiment successfully on her first try . She later took the prelim test again , and passed . She had enjoyed her experience in Dr . Stocks lab , so she continued her research with him , working on the nuclear magnetic resonance and CF infrared frequency shifts of fluorine-19 , and published at least one paper before she had completed her dissertation ( which they wrote over the weekend ) . Anderson would work in the lab during the day , then on her dissertation at night at home . She was a pioneer in the field of fluorine Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ( NMR ) spectroscopy ( didnt nobody know how to operate it but me ) . Throughout her time at the University of Chicago , she was mentored by Thomas Cole ( who later became president of Clark Atlanta University ) . Cole was working as a teaching assistant , and was the one who taught her the basics of NMR . Anderson received her physical organic chemistry Ph.D . in 1968 . Her thesis was titled : 19F Chemical Shifts For Bicyclic and Aromatic Molecules . In the paper which resulted from her thesis , she coins the term substituent chemical shift . Career . Academia . In 1968 , Anderson chose to conduct her post-doctoral research at a historically Black college ( it didnt make a difference which one ) in the wake of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr . in April of that year , and considered this her contribution to the American civil rights movement . She knew at the time that this choice was considered by some of her friends to be professional suicide , and she herself believes that she could have accomplished much more in a different setting . However , she was firm in her resolution , and turned down offers from majority white universities over the course of her career . In her interview with Jeannette E . Brown , she explained her motivation : I wanted to go to a Black college to allow the students to have the opportunity to get the kind of education that I had gotten ; because I felt coming from where I came from that it was almost impossible for me to get the kind of training I had gotten . ( ... ) I squeezed through the wire mesh fence . On Dr McBays advice , Anderson applied for the position of chair at Morris Brown Colleges department of chemistry in Atlanta . She was awarded the position , and became associate professor at the college . As chair of the chemistry department , she made substantial improvements so that it could be approved by the American Chemical Society . Despite receiving other offers of employment , Anderson chose to remain at Morris Brown because of the educational philosophy at Morris Brown , in that Morris Brown takes in some of the brightest students there are , but at the same time , Morris Brown allows students who are not in upper echelon to come in here . On top of her teaching commitments , starting in the summer of 1969 Anderson carried out post-doctoral research at the Georgia Institute of Technology , working with Dr . Charles L . Liotta on Studies on the mechanism of epoxidation . Anderson explains that when she joined Morris Brown , the Vice President of Academic Affairs told her that it was a teaching institution , and that if she wanted to carry out research , you do that on your own time . So , she says : I did it in on my own time . I worked in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays . ( ... ) I was determined to do [ research ] . But more importantly , I love research , and I still love research . Anderson continued her research continued on fluorine-19 and its interactions with other atoms , using it to probe synthesis reactions . Andersons research has also covered epoxidation mechanisms , solid-fuel rocket propellants , antiviral drug synthesis , fluoridated pharmaceutical compounds , and substituted amantadines . Her work has been applied to antiviral drugs . She received patents for her work in 2001 and 2009 . Throughout her career , she struggled to receive funding , and attributes much of this to the racism of the time . She used money from her own salary to fund her research . In her 2009 interview with Jeanette E . Brown , she explains : it became clear to me that if I was at Morris Brown College , a college with did not have a history of research in chemistry or biology like that , that nobody was going to give me any money for research . ( ... ) So , I decided , well , Im going to do research no matter what . ( ... ) I paid [ students ] out of my pocket , and I charged that on my credit card . Even today , I dont know how much I owe the patent lawyers , but I have paid for all those patents stuff , myself . In 1973 , she became the Fuller E . Callaway Professor of Chemistry and Chair , which she returned to in 1990 after serving as Dean of Academic Affairs from 1984 to 1989 . Anderson worked as a National Science Foundation Research Fellow ( 1981 ) and Research Consultant ( 1982 ) for the Lockheed Georgia Corporation , and later as SCEE Faculty Research Fellow for the U.S Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory at the Edwards Air Force Base ( 1984 ) . She also worked as a consultant for IPECS Holland , a Dutch chemical and pharmaceutical research company ( 1990 ) . Anderson became Morris Browns interim president twice , from 1992 to 1993 and in 1998 , and was Dean of Science and Technology from 1995 to 1997 . Since 1999 and , she is the Fuller E .

] | easy | What was the home venue of Atlanta Dream from 2008 to 2016? | /wiki/Atlanta_Dream#P115#0 | Atlanta Dream The Atlanta Dream is an American professional basketball team based in Atlanta , Georgia , playing in the Eastern Conference in the Womens National Basketball Association ( WNBA ) . The team was founded for the 2008 WNBA season . The team is owned by real estate investors Larry Gottesdiener , Suzanne Abair and former Dream player Renee Montgomery . Although the Dream share the Atlanta market with the National Basketball Associations Hawks , the Dream is not affiliated with its NBA counterpart . The Dream play at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park , Georgia . The Dream has qualified for the WNBA Playoffs in nine of its 12 years in Atlanta and has reached the WNBA Finals three times . The franchise has been home to many high-quality players such as University of Louisville standouts Angel McCoughtry and Shoni Schimmel , former Finals MVP Betty Lennox , and Brazilian sharpshooter Izi Castro Marques . In 2010 , the Dream went to the WNBA Finals but fell short to Seattle . They lost to the Minnesota Lynx in the 2011 and 2013 WNBA Finals . Franchise history . Even before the success of the United States womens basketball team in the 1996 Olympic Games , the American Basketball League had interest in placing a womens professional basketball team in Atlanta as early as 1995 . Eight of the twelve Olympians played on ABL teams when the league began play in October 1996 . The Atlanta Glory played at Forbes Arena and lasted two seasons before folding before the start of the 1998–99 season , which would be the ABLs final . Atlanta had been mentioned as a possible future city for WNBA expansion , but efforts did not come together until the beginning of 2007 when an organizing committee with Atlanta businessmen and politicians began the effort to attract an expansion team . The inability of the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA to draw crowds was a concern of the WNBA , and the committee kicked off an effort in February 2007 to gain volunteers and petition signatures . Philips Arena ( now State Farm Arena ) , the Gwinnett Arena ( now Infinite Energy Arena ) and Alexander Memorial Coliseum ( now McCamish Pavilion ) were candidates for venues . By May 2007 , the committee had over 1,000 pledges for season tickets , although the goal was 8,000 season tickets in ninety days . By July the committee had 1,200 commitments and began searching for an owner . On October 16 , 2007 , it was reported that Ron Terwilliger , an Atlanta businessman and CEO of a national real estate company would be the future owner of an Atlanta franchise . The next day , at a news conference at Atlantas Centennial Olympic Park , WNBA president Donna Orender made the announcement that Atlanta would officially be granted a WNBA expansion franchise . On November 27 , 2007 , Atlanta named Marynell Meadors , a coach with extensive experience at the college level , the first head coach and general manager in franchise history . This was Meadors second role as a coach/general manager in the WNBA following a stint with the Charlotte Sting . Afterwards , Meadors had served as a scouting director for the Miami Sol and had been an assistant coach under Richie Adubato and Tree Rollins for the Washington Mystics . Former NBA player Dennis Rodman volunteered his name as head coach for the Dream . Terwilliger declined , stating that he wanted someone with more coaching experience and he felt that the head coach should be a woman , as the WNBA was a womens league . On December 5 , 2007 , an online contest was announced for people to vote on the team name and team colors , while the final choice rested with owner Ron Terwilliger . The names offered as choices were Dream , Flight , Surge and Sizzle . There were also options for team colors such as lime green or hot pink . On January 23 , 2008 , the team name was announced as the Dream , inspired by the famous speech of Atlanta native Martin Luther King Jr. , and the team colors were sky blue , red , and white . Atlanta held their expansion draft on February 6 , 2008 when they selected one player from each of the 13 teams in the league . Atlanta traded Roneeka Hodges and their number four pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft to the Seattle Storm for Izi Castro Marques and Seattles eighth pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft . Also , the Dream traded the 18th pick and LaToya Thomas to the Detroit Shock for Ivory Latta . From May 17 , 2008 , with a season opening loss against the Connecticut Sun to July 3 , 2008 , with a home loss against the Houston Comets , the Dream lost 17 consecutive games , setting the WNBA all-time record for both consecutive losses and losses from opening day . The 2006 Chicago Sky had previously lost 13 consecutive games , and the 2002 Detroit Shock had opened their season 0–13 . On July 5 , the Dream earned their first win in Atlanta 91–84 against the Chicago Sky , ending the losing streak . They later finished with a 4–30 record . Not wanting a repeat of 2008 , head coach and general manager Marynell Meadors acquired players such as Sancho Lyttle , Nikki Teasley , Chamique Holdsclaw , Angel McCoughtry , and Michelle Snow in the 2008–2009 offseason . In 2009 , Atlanta reached the playoffs at 18–16 , exceeding their previous record by 14 wins , but lost in the first round to the 2008 champion Detroit Shock in a sweep . After the season , their coach , Marynell Meadors , was awarded the Coach of the Year Award . The Dreams owner , Ron Terwilliger , announced in August that he wanted to give up his position as the primary owner of the Atlanta franchise . On October 29 , 2009 , Kathy Betty took control of the team under the business entity Dream Too , LLC . The 2010 season saw further improvement , finishing in fourth place in the Eastern Conference . The Dream then made it through the first two rounds of the playoffs and secured a trip to the WNBA Finals with a win over the New York Liberty , as they swept New York in two games in the Eastern Conference Finals . They eventually faced the best team in the league , the 28–6 Seattle Storm . Seattle took the first two games at home with two close wins . Seattle completed the sweep and won the series in Atlanta . Even though they were swept , the Dream did not lose any game by a margin of more than three points . Addressing arguably Atlantas biggest concern , the team traded for All-Star point guard Lindsey Harding prior to the 2011 season . Despite the addition , the Dream struggled to open the season , starting with a 2–7 record due to an injury that sidelined Angel McCoughtry and overseas commitments by Sancho Lyttle . The team then went on a run of 14 wins and 5 losses after the All-Star break .

"Philips Arena"
] | easy | What was the home venue of Atlanta Dream from 2017 to 2018? | /wiki/Atlanta_Dream#P115#1 | Atlanta Dream The Atlanta Dream is an American professional basketball team based in Atlanta , Georgia , playing in the Eastern Conference in the Womens National Basketball Association ( WNBA ) . The team was founded for the 2008 WNBA season . The team is owned by real estate investors Larry Gottesdiener , Suzanne Abair and former Dream player Renee Montgomery . Although the Dream share the Atlanta market with the National Basketball Associations Hawks , the Dream is not affiliated with its NBA counterpart . The Dream play at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park , Georgia . The Dream has qualified for the WNBA Playoffs in nine of its 12 years in Atlanta and has reached the WNBA Finals three times . The franchise has been home to many high-quality players such as University of Louisville standouts Angel McCoughtry and Shoni Schimmel , former Finals MVP Betty Lennox , and Brazilian sharpshooter Izi Castro Marques . In 2010 , the Dream went to the WNBA Finals but fell short to Seattle . They lost to the Minnesota Lynx in the 2011 and 2013 WNBA Finals . Franchise history . Even before the success of the United States womens basketball team in the 1996 Olympic Games , the American Basketball League had interest in placing a womens professional basketball team in Atlanta as early as 1995 . Eight of the twelve Olympians played on ABL teams when the league began play in October 1996 . The Atlanta Glory played at Forbes Arena and lasted two seasons before folding before the start of the 1998–99 season , which would be the ABLs final . Atlanta had been mentioned as a possible future city for WNBA expansion , but efforts did not come together until the beginning of 2007 when an organizing committee with Atlanta businessmen and politicians began the effort to attract an expansion team . The inability of the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA to draw crowds was a concern of the WNBA , and the committee kicked off an effort in February 2007 to gain volunteers and petition signatures . Philips Arena ( now State Farm Arena ) , the Gwinnett Arena ( now Infinite Energy Arena ) and Alexander Memorial Coliseum ( now McCamish Pavilion ) were candidates for venues . By May 2007 , the committee had over 1,000 pledges for season tickets , although the goal was 8,000 season tickets in ninety days . By July the committee had 1,200 commitments and began searching for an owner . On October 16 , 2007 , it was reported that Ron Terwilliger , an Atlanta businessman and CEO of a national real estate company would be the future owner of an Atlanta franchise . The next day , at a news conference at Atlantas Centennial Olympic Park , WNBA president Donna Orender made the announcement that Atlanta would officially be granted a WNBA expansion franchise . On November 27 , 2007 , Atlanta named Marynell Meadors , a coach with extensive experience at the college level , the first head coach and general manager in franchise history . This was Meadors second role as a coach/general manager in the WNBA following a stint with the Charlotte Sting . Afterwards , Meadors had served as a scouting director for the Miami Sol and had been an assistant coach under Richie Adubato and Tree Rollins for the Washington Mystics . Former NBA player Dennis Rodman volunteered his name as head coach for the Dream . Terwilliger declined , stating that he wanted someone with more coaching experience and he felt that the head coach should be a woman , as the WNBA was a womens league . On December 5 , 2007 , an online contest was announced for people to vote on the team name and team colors , while the final choice rested with owner Ron Terwilliger . The names offered as choices were Dream , Flight , Surge and Sizzle . There were also options for team colors such as lime green or hot pink . On January 23 , 2008 , the team name was announced as the Dream , inspired by the famous speech of Atlanta native Martin Luther King Jr. , and the team colors were sky blue , red , and white . Atlanta held their expansion draft on February 6 , 2008 when they selected one player from each of the 13 teams in the league . Atlanta traded Roneeka Hodges and their number four pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft to the Seattle Storm for Izi Castro Marques and Seattles eighth pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft . Also , the Dream traded the 18th pick and LaToya Thomas to the Detroit Shock for Ivory Latta . From May 17 , 2008 , with a season opening loss against the Connecticut Sun to July 3 , 2008 , with a home loss against the Houston Comets , the Dream lost 17 consecutive games , setting the WNBA all-time record for both consecutive losses and losses from opening day . The 2006 Chicago Sky had previously lost 13 consecutive games , and the 2002 Detroit Shock had opened their season 0–13 . On July 5 , the Dream earned their first win in Atlanta 91–84 against the Chicago Sky , ending the losing streak . They later finished with a 4–30 record . Not wanting a repeat of 2008 , head coach and general manager Marynell Meadors acquired players such as Sancho Lyttle , Nikki Teasley , Chamique Holdsclaw , Angel McCoughtry , and Michelle Snow in the 2008–2009 offseason . In 2009 , Atlanta reached the playoffs at 18–16 , exceeding their previous record by 14 wins , but lost in the first round to the 2008 champion Detroit Shock in a sweep . After the season , their coach , Marynell Meadors , was awarded the Coach of the Year Award . The Dreams owner , Ron Terwilliger , announced in August that he wanted to give up his position as the primary owner of the Atlanta franchise . On October 29 , 2009 , Kathy Betty took control of the team under the business entity Dream Too , LLC . The 2010 season saw further improvement , finishing in fourth place in the Eastern Conference . The Dream then made it through the first two rounds of the playoffs and secured a trip to the WNBA Finals with a win over the New York Liberty , as they swept New York in two games in the Eastern Conference Finals . They eventually faced the best team in the league , the 28–6 Seattle Storm . Seattle took the first two games at home with two close wins . Seattle completed the sweep and won the series in Atlanta . Even though they were swept , the Dream did not lose any game by a margin of more than three points . Addressing arguably Atlantas biggest concern , the team traded for All-Star point guard Lindsey Harding prior to the 2011 season . Despite the addition , the Dream struggled to open the season , starting with a 2–7 record due to an injury that sidelined Angel McCoughtry and overseas commitments by Sancho Lyttle . The team then went on a run of 14 wins and 5 losses after the All-Star break . They carried that momentum into the playoffs , sweeping the Connecticut Sun and defeating the Indiana Fever to return to the WNBA Finals . However , they lost to the 27–7 Minnesota Lynx in three games . During the 2011 season , Betty sold Dream Too LLC to local investors Mary Brock and Kelly Loeffler . The Dream started the 2012 season with a 12–12 record and fired head coach and general manager Meadors during a dispute with league-leading scorer Angel McCoughtry . Meadors was replaced by Fred Williams , finished with a 19–15 record , and lost in the first round . The following 2013 season , the team again made it to the WNBA Finals , and again were swept by the Lynx . Williams contract was not renewed . Michael Cooper was then hired for the 2014 season . He led the team to the playoffs in 2014 and 2016 , but was fired after failing to make the playoffs in 2017 . On October 18 , 2019 , the Dream unveiled an updated logo and color scheme , the first change to their branding since the teams inception in 2008 . Shortly after the George Floyd protests began , the WNBA and players union decided to put Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name slogans on warmup gear and opening weekend uniforms . By then , team owner Kelly Loeffler was a Republican U.S . Senator , and she criticized the leagues support for Black Lives Matter . At the next game , Dream players wore black T-shirts with the slogan VOTE WARNOCK , endorsing her election opponent Raphael Warnock , an African-American pastor who then defeated Loeffler . The players union then demanded that Loeffler sell her stake in the team . A three-member investor group , including former Atlanta Dream guard Renee Montgomery , were approved to purchase the team in February 2021 . Home arena . The Dream played at Philips Arena , now known as State Farm Arena , in downtown Atlanta , shared with the Atlanta Hawks from 2008 to 2016 .

"Gateway Center Arena"
] | easy | What was the home venue of Atlanta Dream from 2020 to 2021? | /wiki/Atlanta_Dream#P115#2 | Atlanta Dream The Atlanta Dream is an American professional basketball team based in Atlanta , Georgia , playing in the Eastern Conference in the Womens National Basketball Association ( WNBA ) . The team was founded for the 2008 WNBA season . The team is owned by real estate investors Larry Gottesdiener , Suzanne Abair and former Dream player Renee Montgomery . Although the Dream share the Atlanta market with the National Basketball Associations Hawks , the Dream is not affiliated with its NBA counterpart . The Dream play at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park , Georgia . The Dream has qualified for the WNBA Playoffs in nine of its 12 years in Atlanta and has reached the WNBA Finals three times . The franchise has been home to many high-quality players such as University of Louisville standouts Angel McCoughtry and Shoni Schimmel , former Finals MVP Betty Lennox , and Brazilian sharpshooter Izi Castro Marques . In 2010 , the Dream went to the WNBA Finals but fell short to Seattle . They lost to the Minnesota Lynx in the 2011 and 2013 WNBA Finals . Franchise history . Even before the success of the United States womens basketball team in the 1996 Olympic Games , the American Basketball League had interest in placing a womens professional basketball team in Atlanta as early as 1995 . Eight of the twelve Olympians played on ABL teams when the league began play in October 1996 . The Atlanta Glory played at Forbes Arena and lasted two seasons before folding before the start of the 1998–99 season , which would be the ABLs final . Atlanta had been mentioned as a possible future city for WNBA expansion , but efforts did not come together until the beginning of 2007 when an organizing committee with Atlanta businessmen and politicians began the effort to attract an expansion team . The inability of the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA to draw crowds was a concern of the WNBA , and the committee kicked off an effort in February 2007 to gain volunteers and petition signatures . Philips Arena ( now State Farm Arena ) , the Gwinnett Arena ( now Infinite Energy Arena ) and Alexander Memorial Coliseum ( now McCamish Pavilion ) were candidates for venues . By May 2007 , the committee had over 1,000 pledges for season tickets , although the goal was 8,000 season tickets in ninety days . By July the committee had 1,200 commitments and began searching for an owner . On October 16 , 2007 , it was reported that Ron Terwilliger , an Atlanta businessman and CEO of a national real estate company would be the future owner of an Atlanta franchise . The next day , at a news conference at Atlantas Centennial Olympic Park , WNBA president Donna Orender made the announcement that Atlanta would officially be granted a WNBA expansion franchise . On November 27 , 2007 , Atlanta named Marynell Meadors , a coach with extensive experience at the college level , the first head coach and general manager in franchise history . This was Meadors second role as a coach/general manager in the WNBA following a stint with the Charlotte Sting . Afterwards , Meadors had served as a scouting director for the Miami Sol and had been an assistant coach under Richie Adubato and Tree Rollins for the Washington Mystics . Former NBA player Dennis Rodman volunteered his name as head coach for the Dream . Terwilliger declined , stating that he wanted someone with more coaching experience and he felt that the head coach should be a woman , as the WNBA was a womens league . On December 5 , 2007 , an online contest was announced for people to vote on the team name and team colors , while the final choice rested with owner Ron Terwilliger . The names offered as choices were Dream , Flight , Surge and Sizzle . There were also options for team colors such as lime green or hot pink . On January 23 , 2008 , the team name was announced as the Dream , inspired by the famous speech of Atlanta native Martin Luther King Jr. , and the team colors were sky blue , red , and white . Atlanta held their expansion draft on February 6 , 2008 when they selected one player from each of the 13 teams in the league . Atlanta traded Roneeka Hodges and their number four pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft to the Seattle Storm for Izi Castro Marques and Seattles eighth pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft . Also , the Dream traded the 18th pick and LaToya Thomas to the Detroit Shock for Ivory Latta . From May 17 , 2008 , with a season opening loss against the Connecticut Sun to July 3 , 2008 , with a home loss against the Houston Comets , the Dream lost 17 consecutive games , setting the WNBA all-time record for both consecutive losses and losses from opening day . The 2006 Chicago Sky had previously lost 13 consecutive games , and the 2002 Detroit Shock had opened their season 0–13 . On July 5 , the Dream earned their first win in Atlanta 91–84 against the Chicago Sky , ending the losing streak . They later finished with a 4–30 record . Not wanting a repeat of 2008 , head coach and general manager Marynell Meadors acquired players such as Sancho Lyttle , Nikki Teasley , Chamique Holdsclaw , Angel McCoughtry , and Michelle Snow in the 2008–2009 offseason . In 2009 , Atlanta reached the playoffs at 18–16 , exceeding their previous record by 14 wins , but lost in the first round to the 2008 champion Detroit Shock in a sweep . After the season , their coach , Marynell Meadors , was awarded the Coach of the Year Award . The Dreams owner , Ron Terwilliger , announced in August that he wanted to give up his position as the primary owner of the Atlanta franchise . On October 29 , 2009 , Kathy Betty took control of the team under the business entity Dream Too , LLC . The 2010 season saw further improvement , finishing in fourth place in the Eastern Conference . The Dream then made it through the first two rounds of the playoffs and secured a trip to the WNBA Finals with a win over the New York Liberty , as they swept New York in two games in the Eastern Conference Finals . They eventually faced the best team in the league , the 28–6 Seattle Storm . Seattle took the first two games at home with two close wins . Seattle completed the sweep and won the series in Atlanta . Even though they were swept , the Dream did not lose any game by a margin of more than three points . Addressing arguably Atlantas biggest concern , the team traded for All-Star point guard Lindsey Harding prior to the 2011 season . Despite the addition , the Dream struggled to open the season , starting with a 2–7 record due to an injury that sidelined Angel McCoughtry and overseas commitments by Sancho Lyttle . The team then went on a run of 14 wins and 5 losses after the All-Star break . They carried that momentum into the playoffs , sweeping the Connecticut Sun and defeating the Indiana Fever to return to the WNBA Finals . However , they lost to the 27–7 Minnesota Lynx in three games . During the 2011 season , Betty sold Dream Too LLC to local investors Mary Brock and Kelly Loeffler . The Dream started the 2012 season with a 12–12 record and fired head coach and general manager Meadors during a dispute with league-leading scorer Angel McCoughtry . Meadors was replaced by Fred Williams , finished with a 19–15 record , and lost in the first round . The following 2013 season , the team again made it to the WNBA Finals , and again were swept by the Lynx . Williams contract was not renewed . Michael Cooper was then hired for the 2014 season . He led the team to the playoffs in 2014 and 2016 , but was fired after failing to make the playoffs in 2017 . On October 18 , 2019 , the Dream unveiled an updated logo and color scheme , the first change to their branding since the teams inception in 2008 . Shortly after the George Floyd protests began , the WNBA and players union decided to put Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name slogans on warmup gear and opening weekend uniforms . By then , team owner Kelly Loeffler was a Republican U.S . Senator , and she criticized the leagues support for Black Lives Matter . At the next game , Dream players wore black T-shirts with the slogan VOTE WARNOCK , endorsing her election opponent Raphael Warnock , an African-American pastor who then defeated Loeffler . The players union then demanded that Loeffler sell her stake in the team . A three-member investor group , including former Atlanta Dream guard Renee Montgomery , were approved to purchase the team in February 2021 . Home arena . The Dream played at Philips Arena , now known as State Farm Arena , in downtown Atlanta , shared with the Atlanta Hawks from 2008 to 2016 . In 2013 , the team qualified for the WNBA Finals , but a scheduling conflict forced them to play home games at The Arena at Gwinnett Center , now known as Infinite Energy Arena , in suburban Duluth . Due to renovations to Philips Arena during the Hawks 2017 and 2018 offseasons , the Dream played home games at McCamish Pavilion on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology . The team returned to the renovated and renamed State Farm Arena for the 2019 season . Following the conclusion of the 2019 WNBA regular season , team officials indicated that the Dream would not be returning to State Farm Arena for the 2020 season , citing disagreements with the Hawks management . The team announced on October 18 , 2019 , coinciding with their rebranding , they would move to the new Gateway Center Arena in nearby College Park for the 2020 season ( later delayed to the 2021 season ) , sharing the arena with the Hawks NBA G League affiliate , the College Park Skyhawks .

The Meeting House was built between 1787 and 1801 and was originally used for both Congregational church meetings as well as civic and governmental meetings . Church services ceased in 1839 but town meetings continued to be held in it until 1869 . It was restored in 1906 and has been preserved . It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000 as an exceptionally well-preserved second period colonial-style meeting house . The building , owned by the town , is available for weddings and other events under rules established by the town . Description and history . The Rockingham Meeting House is set on the north side of Meeting House Road , on a parcel of land about in size that it shares with the towns original burial ground , whose oldest marked graves date to 1776 . Meeting House Road is the location of Rockinghams original town center , laid out after the French and Indian War ended in 1763 , with the overall victory of Great Britain against France in the Seven Years War . The building is a large two-story timber-frame structure , with a side-gable roof , clapboard siding , and a granite foundation . The main ( south-facing ) facade is five bays wide , with a symmetrical but slightly irregular placement of windows around the center entry . The main entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature and triangular pediment . Enclosed two-story gable-roofed stairwell ells extend from the each side of the building , with a similarly decorated south-facing entrance . The main entrance opens into a central hallway , through a floor filled with box pews to the pulpit area , which features the original sounding board . The second-floor gallery , which wraps around three sides of the building , is also lined with box pews . The elevated pulpit area is wide , and is accessed by stairs on its left side . The pulpit is one of the few unoriginal elements of the building having been restored in 1906 . The only other significant alterations have been to replace windows . The town of Rockingham was first settled by primarily Anglo-American colonists after the French and Indian War ended in 1763 . Discussion about the construction of a meeting house began in 1771 , and culminated in the construction of a building at this site in 1774 . That building remained in use until the construction of the current one , which was approved by the town meeting in 1787 . Documentation is unclear about when the building was completed : the first recorded town meeting was held in this building in 1792 , at which time it was not complete . The town in that year approved use of the building by local Christian congregations for services . Over the ensuing years , the various church congregations built their own buildings . The original Congregational group ended its services here in 1838 , as peoples religious affiliations changed . The building continued to be used for town meetings until a new town hall was constructed in Bellows Falls in 1869 . The original pulpit was removed about 1850 , and most of the original benches lining the pulpit area were removed . Although the building was vacant for many years , its exterior was maintained . The interior was subjected to vandalism and the theft of artifacts , including door hardware and hand-cut nails . After being unused for many years , the building was restored by the town in 1906 . The first Old Home Day and Pilgrimage to the Meeting House was held in August 1907 . It narrowly escaped the fire which burned much of the adjacent Rockingham Village on April 14 , 1908 . A Meeting House Association was formed in 1911 through the efforts of Professor Franklin Hooper , director of the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute . Hooper was the great-great-grandson of one of the original members of the First Church of Rockingham at its organization in 1773 . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 , and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2000 . It is an extremely well-preserved example of a second period colonial meeting house , in which the principal entrance was on the long wall . Its setting is still reminiscent of how it would have appeared at the time of its construction . Its landmark designation includes the building , cemetery , and receiving tomb . |

"Anne Frank Foundation"
] | easy | What was the official name of Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect from 1959 to 1977? | /wiki/Anne_Frank_Center_for_Mutual_Respect#P1448#0 | Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is a nonprofit organization with a focus on civil and human rights activism in the United States . History . The organization was originally known as the American Friends of the Anne Frank Center , and later the Anne Frank Center USA . According to the Center , it originated as an affiliate of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam . Both the House and the Anne Frank Fonds in Basel , Switzerland are among the Anne Frank Centers worldwide organizational partners . It said on its website that it was founded in 1959 with Annes father Otto Frank as one of its founders .

"New York City Landmark"
] | easy | Which site was the heritage designation of Daily News Building from Jul 1981 to Nov 1982? | /wiki/Daily_News_Building#P1435#0 | Daily News Building The Daily News Building , also known as The News Building , is a skyscraper at 220 East 42nd Street in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan in New York City . The original building was designed by architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells in the Art Deco style , and was erected between 1928 and 1930 . A later addition was designed by Harrison & Abramovitz and built between 1957 and 1960 . The Daily News Building consists of a 36-story tower that is tall , as well as two shorter additions extending east to Second Avenue . Its architectural features include a large granite entrance at 42nd Street and an expansive lobby inside . The original structure is an L-shaped building that faces 41st Street to the south , Second Avenue to the east , and 42nd Street to the north , with a longer frontage on 41st Street than on 42nd Street . The annex , along 42nd Street and Second Avenue , gives the present building a rectangular lot . The Daily News Building was commissioned by Joseph Medill Patterson , the founder of the New York Daily News . The design incorporates a layered massing that contains several setbacks at higher floors . It was Hoods first modern freestanding tower and one of the first large Art Deco buildings in New York City . The Daily News Building was occupied by the Daily News until 1995 , after which it was converted to office use . Upon its completion , the Daily News Building received mixed reviews , and many observers described the building as having a utilitarian design . The Daily News Building was made a National Historic Landmark in 1978 . It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1981 and its interior was similarly designated in 1998 . Site . The Daily News Building is at 220 East 42nd Street in East Midtown , on the south side of the street between Third Avenue and Second Avenue . The building site is bounded by 42nd Street to the north , Second Avenue to the east , 41st Street to the south , and a private alley called Kempner Place to the west . The New York City Subways Grand Central–42nd Street station ( ) , the Chrysler Building , and the Socony–Mobil Building are one block west , while Tudor City and the Ford Foundation Building are one block east . Design . The Daily News Building was designed in the Art Deco style by architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells , and was commissioned as the headquarters of the New York Daily News , which at the time was owned by Joseph Medill Patterson . It was among the first skyscrapers to be built without an ornamental crown . This was in contrast to Hoods earlier designs for the Tribune Tower in Chicago and the American Radiator Building in Manhattan . Harrison & Abramovitz designed additions to the building , which were constructed between 1957 and 1960 . Hood designed the building with practical needs in mind , saying that I do not feel that The News Building is worse looking than some other buildings . Hood wrote that both the owner and architect had agreed that the most simple and direct way to get an effective exterior was to colorize its features . The upper floors were designed as lofts separated only by movable partitions . Although Hood was not particularly involved in the design of the office stories , he did design an executive suite for Patterson . Form . The massing was influenced by the requirements of the 1916 Zoning Resolution . The 36-story tower , built between 1928 and 1930 , is on the northern portion of the site , facing 42nd Street . It is L-shaped , with a frontage of along the middle of the block on 42nd Street , and a frontage of on 41st Street extending eastward to Second Avenue . The original tower contains several setbacks on all four sides . The northern elevation along 42nd Street contains one large setback at the 9th floor . The western elevation has multiple smaller setbacks . The southernmost ten vertical bays of the western facade are set back at the 9th floor , while the following two bays to the north are set back the same distance above the 15th floor , creating a zigzag effect . The southern elevation contains small setbacks at the 7th and 13th floors , as well as larger setbacks at the 27th floor and above the 36th floor . The eastern elevation does not contain any setbacks , except for the northernmost seven bays , which protrude slightly below the 33rd floor . The southern portion of the Daily News Building , near 41st Street , is shorter than the tower and formerly served as the printing plant . It was also built in 1928–1930 and initially contained nine stories . An additional five stories were built in the late 1950s , set back from the original structure . An 18-story annex , also built in the late 1950s , runs on the northeastern portion of the plot , facing Second Avenue and 42nd Street . The original structure consisted of of space , and the annex had ; including an additional above the original printing plant , the complex had a total of . Facade . Tower . The facade of the tower is composed of vertical window bays that are separated by irregularly placed sections of white brick wall , as well as multicolored brick patterns and red curtains . The spandrel panels between the windows on each story are made of reddish-brown and black brick . The spandrel panels at lower floors contain geometric patterns , while those on upper floors have been simplified into horizontal bars . On floors with setbacks , the panels also contain miniature setbacks . The vertical bands were similar to that used at Pattersons house at 3 East 84th Street , an Art Deco building that Hood had also designed . The tops of the vertical bands terminate abruptly at the setbacks . Hood wrote that the windows were each wide , while the centers of the windows were spaced at intervals of , creating a uniform window layout . Hood stated that the window design was largely chosen based on its perceived utility , because the interior space would have needed to be easily divided into offices . However , other critics stated that horizontal strips of windows would have also worked for such a purpose . At the base of the tower , on the 42nd Street side , is a three-story-tall granite-clad main entrance that takes up the width of five bays . Over the entrance is a carving of the phrase , below which is a large bas-relief with carvings of people and the phrase . The latter quotation was attributed to Abraham Lincoln and referenced the common people to whom the Daily News was intended . There are glass pylons on either side of the entrance , which are topped by bronze ornamentation and contain horizontal bronze strips . There are smaller entrances leading to storefronts on either side of the main entrance . Above these storefronts are bronze friezes , which are overlaid at specific intervals by the bottom portions of the white brick walls that are present on the upper stories . The bronze friezes and white brick walls wrap around the building above the first story . A granite inscription from Patterson is present on the western side of the building , and the southern facade of the tower has five loading docks . The entrance was relatively luxurious , since Hood was given a $150,000 budget for the entrances design . At the top , the facade is designed so that it appears to have no architectural decorations . The parapet walls extend above the roof to conceal the elevator rooms and the maintenance penthouses on the roof . Hood had initially been uncertain about how to design the top stories . According to one account , architect Frank Lloyd Wright visited Hood and advised him to just cut the top off . Walter Kilham , who had assisted Hood , later recalled that Wright retracted his suggestion after Kilham confronted Wright . Other portions . The facade of the original printing plant on 41st Street is similar to that of the tower , though the bays are grouped in sets of three . Each grouping is separated by wide white-brick piers , while the groupings of windows are internally subdivided by narrower piers . There are friezes above the first and second floors , as well as six loading docks on 41st Street . The annexs design echoes the vertical stripes of the original design , except with wider stripes . Like the original building , the window bays each contain one window per floor . The facade has light-and-dark-red brick spandrels between the windows on each floor . The piers between each bay are decorated by slightly-projecting white-brick piers with aluminum sheathing . The facade of the printing-plant addition is designed in the same manner . Lobby . The lobby of the building includes a circular rotunda with a black glass domed ceiling near the 42nd Street entrance . Under this ceiling in a stepped pit was the worlds largest indoor globe , conceived by the Daily News as a permanent educational science exhibit . The globe is in diameter , with over 3,000 individual features , There is also a large compass on the floor , as well as bronze floor etchings within the terrazzo floor , with the names of major cities and their distances from New York City . The walls have nineteen panels designed by J . Henry Weber , which depict maps , weather charts , and clocks from different time zones . The Daily News Buildings main elevator lobbies are to the south of the rotunda and contain bronze plaques memorializing Daily News employees who fought in major wars . The rotunda was inspired from the Glass Pavilion by Bruno Taut , and the recessed center specifically was inspired by the tomb of Napoleon at Les Invalides . Accounts differ on who had the most influence on the lobbys design . According to Daily News historians , Patterson was the first to propose the idea of the lobby . Hoods biographer conversely implied that the idea had not come from Patterson , who had supposedly been skeptical of the design with a globe . As originally configured , the rotunda was approached from the 42nd Street entrance to the north , as well as from a hallway on the southwest . The hallway led to two banks of elevators to the south , as well as a restaurant , and there were two storefronts flanking the rotunda , one each to the west and east . The elevator lobbies had bronze grilles and other decorations designed by Rene Paul Chambellan in the Art Deco style . There were eighteen glass exhibits , which were part of a scientific and educational display designed by James H . Scarr , a U.S . Weather Bureau meteorologist . The main lobby was so popular among tourists that Hood subsequently opened up a side entrance for Daily News employees . During the expansion , the storefronts on either side of the rotunda were removed and incorporated into the main lobby . The glass showcases of the original lobby were replaced with the wall panels . The city names were changed to reflect new distances and spellings , and a hallway was extended to the entrance on Second Avenue . History . The Medill family published numerous large newspapers in the United States in the early 20th century , including the Tribune Media conglomerate . One family member , Joseph Medill Patterson , founded the Daily News in 1919 as the United States first daily tabloid . While the Daily News was not an immediate success , it became the citys largest newspaper by 1925 , with a daily circulation of over a million . The Daily News was originally based at 25 City Hall Place in the Civic Center of Lower Manhattan , moving in 1921 to a five-story building nearby at 23 Park Place . By 1927 , the latter building had become insufficient for the Daily News operations . The Daily News then started to look for new locations , following the example set by The New York Times and New York Herald , which had previously moved north to Midtown Manhattan from Lower Manhattan . According to the newspapers research manager Harry Corash , the citys population was centered in Queens , east of Midtown Manhattan across the East River . Planning and construction . Planning . The site ultimately chosen was on East 42nd Street ; the section east of Grand Central Terminal and Lexington Avenue had yet to be developed , and the Daily News historians called the area a row of old , assorted , unpretentious structures . Patterson said that the 42nd Street location was ideal , as it was on the same street as Times Square , where the rival Times headquarters were incidentally located . The Daily News bought a tract of land facing 41st and 42nd streets , between Second and Third Avenues on February 3 , 1928 , for $2.5 million ( equivalent to $ million in ) . At the time , the building was being envisioned as a 20-story structure . Eleven days later , the Daily News bought the lots at 41st Street and Second Avenue , which collectively comprised . Patterson selected Hood and Howells as architects for the new building . The pair had previously won the competition to design the Tribune Tower , the headquarters of the Chicago Tribune , which was owned by Pattersons cousin Robert R . McCormick . Hood had first proposed the Daily News Building as a tower , but Patterson had initially objected , claiming that he did not want the structure to be a monument . To get Patterson to acquiesce to the tower plan , Hood framed the plan as an efficient business decision and prepared numerous models for possible buildings , concluding that the most efficient one was a skyscraper of between 35 and 40 stories . Hood presented various floor plans to Patterson every week until Patterson acquiesced on the eleventh meeting . One of Hoods plans , which would have set back the tower above the third story to create a rising effect , was rejected by Patterson since it would have eliminated usable office space allowed under the zoning restrictions . Another plan to use a limestone facade was scrapped due to cost , and brick was used instead . Hood subsequently carved a plastic model of the building , which incorporated a tapered design . Hood also created drawings for the proposed building , which depicted a blocky mass with several setbacks . On the west side of the building was the Commercial High School , which the New York City Board of Education was planning to tear down . The Daily News and the Board of Education each agreed to cede toward a pedestrian walkway , which would make the Daily News Building freestanding on most of its frontage . However , only the Daily News section of the walkway was built , as the high school remained standing until the late 20th century . Construction . Blueprints were filed with the Manhattan Bureau of Buildings in June 1928 ; at the time , the building was to be composed of 36 stories and would cost $6.6 million ( ) . In addition to the Daily News itself , the new structure would contain Tribune subsidiaries that were related to the papers function . The ceremonial cornerstone , filled with relics of the Daily News owner Tribune Media , was laid in September 1928 . Construction of the steel frame had been finished in August 1929 . By late 1929 , the Daily News Building was almost complete . The rival Times described the project as one of several high-rise developments that were radically changing the old-time conditions along East 42nd Street . The other developments along that section included the Lincoln Building , Chanin Building , Chrysler Building , and Tudor City . In November 1929 , several mechanics were given craftsmanship certificates for outstanding work on the Daily News Buildings construction ; at that point , the Daily News Building was 75 percent rented . The Daily News started moving into the building in mid-1930 and the lobby opened to the public on July 23 , 1930 . The building , including the newspapers new printing presses , had cost $10.7 million ( ) . Early use and expansion . The New Yorker observed that the office space at the Daily News Building was designed at factory prices , which was part of the reason why Patterson had selected Hood as an architect . The lobby was popular and had 625,000 visitors a year by 1938 . The Daily News rented out the space in the building that it did not utilize . For example , American Locomotive Company subsidiary Alco Products took space in the structure , as did the Ahrens Publishing Company , the Museum of the Peaceful Arts , and a branch of the National City Bank of New York . In addition , United Press International moved its headquarters to the Daily News Building in 1931 . Daily News affiliate WPIX also took space in the building , broadcasting from its mast until 1951 . In the late 1950s , as part of a $20 million expansion of the Daily News facilities ( equivalent to $ million in ) , Harrison & Abramovitz were hired to design an expansion to the building and renovate the existing facilities . The project more than doubled in size , to . The additions were to be used by both the Daily News and the buildings other occupants . Turner Construction was hired for the annexs construction . Work started in May 1957 , and excavation on the annex started later that year . By April 1959 , the facade of the annex had been completed . The lobby was also renovated under the guidance of Daily News president Francis Marion Flynn . The new structure was completed in June 1960 , and by that August , the expanded building was 90 percent rented . The globe in the lobby was restored in a 61-week project that took place between 1966 and 1967 . Later use . By the 1970s , the Daily News and the International Paper Company were the main occupants of the Daily News Building ; when the latter moved out in 1978 , the vacant space was quickly occupied . By 1981 , Tribune Media was attempting to sell the Daily News with limited success . Media and real-estate concerns projected that the building might be worth $150–250 million ( equivalent to $– million in ) ; several commentators suggested that the Daily News could be shuttered to free up office space , though others pointed out that relocating the printing presses would also free up space in the building . Tribune Media sold the Daily News Building to a partnership in December 1982 . The La Salle Street Fund held a majority ownership stake in the partnership , while New York News Inc . held the minority stake . As part of the sale , the printing and distribution operations were moved to other facilities in the New York metropolitan area . In 1984 , the Daily News removed its printing presses from the building , freeing up of vacant space that was converted to office space . The Daily News started looking for new locations after media executive Mortimer Zuckerman bought a stake in the newspaper in 1993 . The next year , the Daily News announced it would move its remaining operations within the Daily News Building to a single facility , 450 West 33rd Street in Chelsea , Manhattan . The relocation was motivated by the cost of maintaining several spaces , as well as the fact that the lease was about to expire and the Daily News operations in the building had been downsized since the early 1980s . Further , the Daily News circulation had decreased by two-thirds from its peak in the 1940s , and the number of employees had been reduced more than 85 percent . The Daily News moved out during May 1995 . The next year , developer Steve Witkoff bought the Daily News Building and leased most of the buildings vacant space , thereby qualifying the building for a $140 million mortgage . The Omnicom Group signed a lease for a majority of the buildings space in 1997 , making it the buildings main tenant . SL Green Realty bought the Daily News Building in 2003 for $265 million . By January 2019 , SL Green considered selling the property , and in October 2019 , developer Jacob Chetrit made an offer of $815 million for the building . However , the sale was scrapped in March 2020 after Deutsche Bank withdrew its financing as a result of economic uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic . In June 2020 , SL Green refinanced the building after having secured a $510 million mortgage ; despite the COVID-related financial difficulties , the Daily News Building was almost fully leased . Tenants . The building contains the former Daily News TV broadcast subsidiary WPIX , channel 11 , which later became an affiliate of The CW network . It was also home to WQCD , the smooth jazz station The News had operated as WPIX-FM . The Visiting Nurse Service of New York occupies in the Daily News Building , and the nonprofit Young Adult Institute takes up within the building . Other tenants include the United Nations Development Programme and UN Women , as well as the New York office of public relations firm FleishmanHillard . Impact . The Daily News historians wrote in 1971 that the building did a lot for the paper . The Daily News referred to it as being among Hoods triumphs , though most of the papers praise for the building was directed toward the lobby . In 1931 , the Daily News published an editorial in rebuttal to modern architecture , saying that the design was focused on the efficient production of newspapers . At the time of the buildings opening , the Daily News praised the lobby as having a state-of-the-art exhibit . Critical reception . Architectural critics had mixed opinions of the design . According to English architect Frank Scarlett , who looked at the model of the building , it was one of several contemporary designs that deviated from the eclectic style that had been popular until the early 20th century . The New Yorker , profiling Hood in 1931 , said that the Daily News Building was a distinctly untraditional building and that Hoods design had been daringly successful . After Hoods death in 1934 , critics and the media described Hood as utilitarian in his designs . The New York Times said that the Daily News Buildings design made him practically a complete functionalist . Contemporary modernist architect Harvey Wiley Corbett said in Architectural Forum that the building was a right about-face [ ... ] from the former eclectic approach . The following year , Architectural Forum lauded the buildings exterior for being utilitarian and praised the lobby as romantic and dramatic . Other critics viewed the Daily News Building as architecturally lacking . Architectural historian Henry-Russell Hitchcock and architect Philip Johnson perceived the buildings design to have sacrificed functionality for effectiveness , saying that the crisp square termination on the roof is a deception . A similar sentiment criticizing the roof was expressed in the New York Herald Tribune obituary of Hood . Architectural critic Royal Cortissoz refused to acknowledge the Daily News Building as an architectural work , to which Hood is said to have replied , So much the better . Kenneth M . Murchison wrote of the facade , Stripes is Mr . Hoods middle name . He cant get away from them . After the addition of the annex , Paul Goldberger characterized the addition as a thoughtful but inadequate companion to the original tower . Nevertheless , prior to his death , Hood had disregarded the buildings architectural beauty and composition , instead focusing on its effect . One early appraisal of the Daily News Building called the facade almost nothing but a series of stripes , which the reviewer deemed to be artistic . Another praised the lobby exhibit as being a genuine contribution to architecture . Later reviews of the building compared it with the contemporary architecture . One guidebook , published in 1952 , stated that the building had an asymmetrical , almost picturesque shape . Another book in 1960 perceived the towers freestanding nature as its most appealing quality . Further reviews in the 1970s described the building as having deviated from popular architectural styles of the time , and being a modern skyscraper that was easily distinguishable from mediocre metal-and-glass neighbors . Architectural writer Eric Nash said in 1999 that Hood did not romanticize the skyscraper as a carved mountain , unlike contemporaries such as Ralph Thomas Walker or Hugh Ferriss . The rival New York Times called the Daily News Building one of Americas great newspaper buildings , in contrast with its own previous headquarters at 229 West 43rd Street . Landmark designations . The Daily News Buildings exterior was designated a New York City Landmark in 1981 , and its first-floor interior was similarly designated in 1998 . The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission , in granting the exterior landmark status , called it one of the citys major Art Deco presences . It became a National Historic Landmark in 1989 . Only the original tower and printing plant are part of the National Historic Landmark and New York City Landmark designations . Media depictions . Hugh Ferriss drew a rendering of the Daily News Building in 1930 . The rendering inspired the design of the fictional Daily Planet headquarters in the Superman franchise . Additionally , during July 1977 , the Daily News Building was used for filming exterior scenes at the Daily Planet in the 1978 film Superman : The Movie . At the exact moment of the 1977 New York City blackout on July 13–14 , the buildings facade was serving as the set for the upcoming release of Superman : The Movie . During the blackout , film crews lent their Klieg lights to Daily News editors so that the following days issue could be published . |

"National Historic Landmark"
] | easy | Which site was the heritage designation of Daily News Building from Nov 1982 to Jun 1989? | /wiki/Daily_News_Building#P1435#1 | Daily News Building The Daily News Building , also known as The News Building , is a skyscraper at 220 East 42nd Street in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan in New York City . The original building was designed by architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells in the Art Deco style , and was erected between 1928 and 1930 . A later addition was designed by Harrison & Abramovitz and built between 1957 and 1960 . The Daily News Building consists of a 36-story tower that is tall , as well as two shorter additions extending east to Second Avenue . Its architectural features include a large granite entrance at 42nd Street and an expansive lobby inside . The original structure is an L-shaped building that faces 41st Street to the south , Second Avenue to the east , and 42nd Street to the north , with a longer frontage on 41st Street than on 42nd Street . The annex , along 42nd Street and Second Avenue , gives the present building a rectangular lot . The Daily News Building was commissioned by Joseph Medill Patterson , the founder of the New York Daily News . The design incorporates a layered massing that contains several setbacks at higher floors . It was Hoods first modern freestanding tower and one of the first large Art Deco buildings in New York City . The Daily News Building was occupied by the Daily News until 1995 , after which it was converted to office use . Upon its completion , the Daily News Building received mixed reviews , and many observers described the building as having a utilitarian design . The Daily News Building was made a National Historic Landmark in 1978 . It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1981 and its interior was similarly designated in 1998 . Site . The Daily News Building is at 220 East 42nd Street in East Midtown , on the south side of the street between Third Avenue and Second Avenue . The building site is bounded by 42nd Street to the north , Second Avenue to the east , 41st Street to the south , and a private alley called Kempner Place to the west . The New York City Subways Grand Central–42nd Street station ( ) , the Chrysler Building , and the Socony–Mobil Building are one block west , while Tudor City and the Ford Foundation Building are one block east . Design . The Daily News Building was designed in the Art Deco style by architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells , and was commissioned as the headquarters of the New York Daily News , which at the time was owned by Joseph Medill Patterson . It was among the first skyscrapers to be built without an ornamental crown . This was in contrast to Hoods earlier designs for the Tribune Tower in Chicago and the American Radiator Building in Manhattan . Harrison & Abramovitz designed additions to the building , which were constructed between 1957 and 1960 . Hood designed the building with practical needs in mind , saying that I do not feel that The News Building is worse looking than some other buildings . Hood wrote that both the owner and architect had agreed that the most simple and direct way to get an effective exterior was to colorize its features . The upper floors were designed as lofts separated only by movable partitions . Although Hood was not particularly involved in the design of the office stories , he did design an executive suite for Patterson . Form . The massing was influenced by the requirements of the 1916 Zoning Resolution . The 36-story tower , built between 1928 and 1930 , is on the northern portion of the site , facing 42nd Street . It is L-shaped , with a frontage of along the middle of the block on 42nd Street , and a frontage of on 41st Street extending eastward to Second Avenue . The original tower contains several setbacks on all four sides . The northern elevation along 42nd Street contains one large setback at the 9th floor . The western elevation has multiple smaller setbacks . The southernmost ten vertical bays of the western facade are set back at the 9th floor , while the following two bays to the north are set back the same distance above the 15th floor , creating a zigzag effect . The southern elevation contains small setbacks at the 7th and 13th floors , as well as larger setbacks at the 27th floor and above the 36th floor . The eastern elevation does not contain any setbacks , except for the northernmost seven bays , which protrude slightly below the 33rd floor . The southern portion of the Daily News Building , near 41st Street , is shorter than the tower and formerly served as the printing plant . It was also built in 1928–1930 and initially contained nine stories . An additional five stories were built in the late 1950s , set back from the original structure . An 18-story annex , also built in the late 1950s , runs on the northeastern portion of the plot , facing Second Avenue and 42nd Street . The original structure consisted of of space , and the annex had ; including an additional above the original printing plant , the complex had a total of . Facade . Tower . The facade of the tower is composed of vertical window bays that are separated by irregularly placed sections of white brick wall , as well as multicolored brick patterns and red curtains . The spandrel panels between the windows on each story are made of reddish-brown and black brick . The spandrel panels at lower floors contain geometric patterns , while those on upper floors have been simplified into horizontal bars . On floors with setbacks , the panels also contain miniature setbacks . The vertical bands were similar to that used at Pattersons house at 3 East 84th Street , an Art Deco building that Hood had also designed . The tops of the vertical bands terminate abruptly at the setbacks . Hood wrote that the windows were each wide , while the centers of the windows were spaced at intervals of , creating a uniform window layout . Hood stated that the window design was largely chosen based on its perceived utility , because the interior space would have needed to be easily divided into offices . However , other critics stated that horizontal strips of windows would have also worked for such a purpose . At the base of the tower , on the 42nd Street side , is a three-story-tall granite-clad main entrance that takes up the width of five bays . Over the entrance is a carving of the phrase , below which is a large bas-relief with carvings of people and the phrase . The latter quotation was attributed to Abraham Lincoln and referenced the common people to whom the Daily News was intended . There are glass pylons on either side of the entrance , which are topped by bronze ornamentation and contain horizontal bronze strips . There are smaller entrances leading to storefronts on either side of the main entrance . Above these storefronts are bronze friezes , which are overlaid at specific intervals by the bottom portions of the white brick walls that are present on the upper stories . The bronze friezes and white brick walls wrap around the building above the first story . A granite inscription from Patterson is present on the western side of the building , and the southern facade of the tower has five loading docks . The entrance was relatively luxurious , since Hood was given a $150,000 budget for the entrances design . At the top , the facade is designed so that it appears to have no architectural decorations .

Media and real-estate concerns projected that the building might be worth $150–250 million ( equivalent to $– million in ) ; several commentators suggested that the Daily News could be shuttered to free up office space , though others pointed out that relocating the printing presses would also free up space in the building . Tribune Media sold the Daily News Building to a partnership in December 1982 . The La Salle Street Fund held a majority ownership stake in the partnership , while New York News Inc . held the minority stake . As part of the sale , the printing and distribution operations were moved to other facilities in the New York metropolitan area . In 1984 , the Daily News removed its printing presses from the building , freeing up of vacant space that was converted to office space . The Daily News started looking for new locations after media executive Mortimer Zuckerman bought a stake in the newspaper in 1993 . The next year , the Daily News announced it would move its remaining operations within the Daily News Building to a single facility , 450 West 33rd Street in Chelsea , Manhattan . The relocation was motivated by the cost of maintaining several spaces , as well as the fact that the lease was about to expire and the Daily News operations in the building had been downsized since the early 1980s . Further , the Daily News circulation had decreased by two-thirds from its peak in the 1940s , and the number of employees had been reduced more than 85 percent . The Daily News moved out during May 1995 . The next year , developer Steve Witkoff bought the Daily News Building and leased most of the buildings vacant space , thereby qualifying the building for a $140 million mortgage . The Omnicom Group signed a lease for a majority of the buildings space in 1997 , making it the buildings main tenant . SL Green Realty bought the Daily News Building in 2003 for $265 million . By January 2019 , SL Green considered selling the property , and in October 2019 , developer Jacob Chetrit made an offer of $815 million for the building . However , the sale was scrapped in March 2020 after Deutsche Bank withdrew its financing as a result of economic uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic . In June 2020 , SL Green refinanced the building after having secured a $510 million mortgage ; despite the COVID-related financial difficulties , the Daily News Building was almost fully leased . Tenants . The building contains the former Daily News TV broadcast subsidiary WPIX , channel 11 , which later became an affiliate of The CW network . It was also home to WQCD , the smooth jazz station The News had operated as WPIX-FM . The Visiting Nurse Service of New York occupies in the Daily News Building , and the nonprofit Young Adult Institute takes up within the building . Other tenants include the United Nations Development Programme and UN Women , as well as the New York office of public relations firm FleishmanHillard . Impact . The Daily News historians wrote in 1971 that the building did a lot for the paper . The Daily News referred to it as being among Hoods triumphs , though most of the papers praise for the building was directed toward the lobby . In 1931 , the Daily News published an editorial in rebuttal to modern architecture , saying that the design was focused on the efficient production of newspapers . At the time of the buildings opening , the Daily News praised the lobby as having a state-of-the-art exhibit . Critical reception . Architectural critics had mixed opinions of the design . According to English architect Frank Scarlett , who looked at the model of the building , it was one of several contemporary designs that deviated from the eclectic style that had been popular until the early 20th century . The New Yorker , profiling Hood in 1931 , said that the Daily News Building was a distinctly untraditional building and that Hoods design had been daringly successful . After Hoods death in 1934 , critics and the media described Hood as utilitarian in his designs . The New York Times said that the Daily News Buildings design made him practically a complete functionalist . Contemporary modernist architect Harvey Wiley Corbett said in Architectural Forum that the building was a right about-face [ ... ] from the former eclectic approach . The following year , Architectural Forum lauded the buildings exterior for being utilitarian and praised the lobby as romantic and dramatic . Other critics viewed the Daily News Building as architecturally lacking . Architectural historian Henry-Russell Hitchcock and architect Philip Johnson perceived the buildings design to have sacrificed functionality for effectiveness , saying that the crisp square termination on the roof is a deception . A similar sentiment criticizing the roof was expressed in the New York Herald Tribune obituary of Hood . Architectural critic Royal Cortissoz refused to acknowledge the Daily News Building as an architectural work , to which Hood is said to have replied , So much the better . Kenneth M . Murchison wrote of the facade , Stripes is Mr . Hoods middle name . He cant get away from them . After the addition of the annex , Paul Goldberger characterized the addition as a thoughtful but inadequate companion to the original tower . Nevertheless , prior to his death , Hood had disregarded the buildings architectural beauty and composition , instead focusing on its effect . One early appraisal of the Daily News Building called the facade almost nothing but a series of stripes , which the reviewer deemed to be artistic . Another praised the lobby exhibit as being a genuine contribution to architecture . Later reviews of the building compared it with the contemporary architecture . One guidebook , published in 1952 , stated that the building had an asymmetrical , almost picturesque shape . Another book in 1960 perceived the towers freestanding nature as its most appealing quality . Further reviews in the 1970s described the building as having deviated from popular architectural styles of the time , and being a modern skyscraper that was easily distinguishable from mediocre metal-and-glass neighbors . Architectural writer Eric Nash said in 1999 that Hood did not romanticize the skyscraper as a carved mountain , unlike contemporaries such as Ralph Thomas Walker or Hugh Ferriss . The rival New York Times called the Daily News Building one of Americas great newspaper buildings , in contrast with its own previous headquarters at 229 West 43rd Street . Landmark designations .

"National Historic Landmark"
] | easy | Which site was the heritage designation of Daily News Building from Jun 1989 to Jun 1990? | /wiki/Daily_News_Building#P1435#2 | Daily News Building The Daily News Building , also known as The News Building , is a skyscraper at 220 East 42nd Street in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan in New York City . The original building was designed by architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells in the Art Deco style , and was erected between 1928 and 1930 . A later addition was designed by Harrison & Abramovitz and built between 1957 and 1960 . The Daily News Building consists of a 36-story tower that is tall , as well as two shorter additions extending east to Second Avenue . Its architectural features include a large granite entrance at 42nd Street and an expansive lobby inside . The original structure is an L-shaped building that faces 41st Street to the south , Second Avenue to the east , and 42nd Street to the north , with a longer frontage on 41st Street than on 42nd Street . The annex , along 42nd Street and Second Avenue , gives the present building a rectangular lot . The Daily News Building was commissioned by Joseph Medill Patterson , the founder of the New York Daily News . The design incorporates a layered massing that contains several setbacks at higher floors . It was Hoods first modern freestanding tower and one of the first large Art Deco buildings in New York City . The Daily News Building was occupied by the Daily News until 1995 , after which it was converted to office use . Upon its completion , the Daily News Building received mixed reviews , and many observers described the building as having a utilitarian design . The Daily News Building was made a National Historic Landmark in 1978 . It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1981 and its interior was similarly designated in 1998 . Site . The Daily News Building is at 220 East 42nd Street in East Midtown , on the south side of the street between Third Avenue and Second Avenue . The building site is bounded by 42nd Street to the north , Second Avenue to the east , 41st Street to the south , and a private alley called Kempner Place to the west . The New York City Subways Grand Central–42nd Street station ( ) , the Chrysler Building , and the Socony–Mobil Building are one block west , while Tudor City and the Ford Foundation Building are one block east . Design . The Daily News Building was designed in the Art Deco style by architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells , and was commissioned as the headquarters of the New York Daily News , which at the time was owned by Joseph Medill Patterson . It was among the first skyscrapers to be built without an ornamental crown . This was in contrast to Hoods earlier designs for the Tribune Tower in Chicago and the American Radiator Building in Manhattan . Harrison & Abramovitz designed additions to the building , which were constructed between 1957 and 1960 . Hood designed the building with practical needs in mind , saying that I do not feel that The News Building is worse looking than some other buildings . Hood wrote that both the owner and architect had agreed that the most simple and direct way to get an effective exterior was to colorize its features . The upper floors were designed as lofts separated only by movable partitions . Although Hood was not particularly involved in the design of the office stories , he did design an executive suite for Patterson . Form . The massing was influenced by the requirements of the 1916 Zoning Resolution . The 36-story tower , built between 1928 and 1930 , is on the northern portion of the site , facing 42nd Street . It is L-shaped , with a frontage of along the middle of the block on 42nd Street , and a frontage of on 41st Street extending eastward to Second Avenue . The original tower contains several setbacks on all four sides . The northern elevation along 42nd Street contains one large setback at the 9th floor . The western elevation has multiple smaller setbacks . The southernmost ten vertical bays of the western facade are set back at the 9th floor , while the following two bays to the north are set back the same distance above the 15th floor , creating a zigzag effect . The southern elevation contains small setbacks at the 7th and 13th floors , as well as larger setbacks at the 27th floor and above the 36th floor . The eastern elevation does not contain any setbacks , except for the northernmost seven bays , which protrude slightly below the 33rd floor . The southern portion of the Daily News Building , near 41st Street , is shorter than the tower and formerly served as the printing plant . It was also built in 1928–1930 and initially contained nine stories . An additional five stories were built in the late 1950s , set back from the original structure . An 18-story annex , also built in the late 1950s , runs on the northeastern portion of the plot , facing Second Avenue and 42nd Street . The original structure consisted of of space , and the annex had ; including an additional above the original printing plant , the complex had a total of . Facade . Tower . The facade of the tower is composed of vertical window bays that are separated by irregularly placed sections of white brick wall , as well as multicolored brick patterns and red curtains . The spandrel panels between the windows on each story are made of reddish-brown and black brick . The spandrel panels at lower floors contain geometric patterns , while those on upper floors have been simplified into horizontal bars . On floors with setbacks , the panels also contain miniature setbacks . The vertical bands were similar to that used at Pattersons house at 3 East 84th Street , an Art Deco building that Hood had also designed . The tops of the vertical bands terminate abruptly at the setbacks . Hood wrote that the windows were each wide , while the centers of the windows were spaced at intervals of , creating a uniform window layout . Hood stated that the window design was largely chosen based on its perceived utility , because the interior space would have needed to be easily divided into offices . However , other critics stated that horizontal strips of windows would have also worked for such a purpose . At the base of the tower , on the 42nd Street side , is a three-story-tall granite-clad main entrance that takes up the width of five bays . Over the entrance is a carving of the phrase , below which is a large bas-relief with carvings of people and the phrase . The latter quotation was attributed to Abraham Lincoln and referenced the common people to whom the Daily News was intended . There are glass pylons on either side of the entrance , which are topped by bronze ornamentation and contain horizontal bronze strips . There are smaller entrances leading to storefronts on either side of the main entrance . Above these storefronts are bronze friezes , which are overlaid at specific intervals by the bottom portions of the white brick walls that are present on the upper stories . The bronze friezes and white brick walls wrap around the building above the first story . A granite inscription from Patterson is present on the western side of the building , and the southern facade of the tower has five loading docks . The entrance was relatively luxurious , since Hood was given a $150,000 budget for the entrances design . At the top , the facade is designed so that it appears to have no architectural decorations . The parapet walls extend above the roof to conceal the elevator rooms and the maintenance penthouses on the roof . Hood had initially been uncertain about how to design the top stories . According to one account , architect Frank Lloyd Wright visited Hood and advised him to just cut the top off . Walter Kilham , who had assisted Hood , later recalled that Wright retracted his suggestion after Kilham confronted Wright . Other portions . The facade of the original printing plant on 41st Street is similar to that of the tower , though the bays are grouped in sets of three . Each grouping is separated by wide white-brick piers , while the groupings of windows are internally subdivided by narrower piers . There are friezes above the first and second floors , as well as six loading docks on 41st Street . The annexs design echoes the vertical stripes of the original design , except with wider stripes . Like the original building , the window bays each contain one window per floor . The facade has light-and-dark-red brick spandrels between the windows on each floor . The piers between each bay are decorated by slightly-projecting white-brick piers with aluminum sheathing . The facade of the printing-plant addition is designed in the same manner . Lobby . The lobby of the building includes a circular rotunda with a black glass domed ceiling near the 42nd Street entrance . Under this ceiling in a stepped pit was the worlds largest indoor globe , conceived by the Daily News as a permanent educational science exhibit . The globe is in diameter , with over 3,000 individual features , There is also a large compass on the floor , as well as bronze floor etchings within the terrazzo floor , with the names of major cities and their distances from New York City . The walls have nineteen panels designed by J . Henry Weber , which depict maps , weather charts , and clocks from different time zones . The Daily News Buildings main elevator lobbies are to the south of the rotunda and contain bronze plaques memorializing Daily News employees who fought in major wars . The rotunda was inspired from the Glass Pavilion by Bruno Taut , and the recessed center specifically was inspired by the tomb of Napoleon at Les Invalides . Accounts differ on who had the most influence on the lobbys design . According to Daily News historians , Patterson was the first to propose the idea of the lobby . Hoods biographer conversely implied that the idea had not come from Patterson , who had supposedly been skeptical of the design with a globe . As originally configured , the rotunda was approached from the 42nd Street entrance to the north , as well as from a hallway on the southwest . The hallway led to two banks of elevators to the south , as well as a restaurant , and there were two storefronts flanking the rotunda , one each to the west and east . The elevator lobbies had bronze grilles and other decorations designed by Rene Paul Chambellan in the Art Deco style . There were eighteen glass exhibits , which were part of a scientific and educational display designed by James H . Scarr , a U.S . Weather Bureau meteorologist . The main lobby was so popular among tourists that Hood subsequently opened up a side entrance for Daily News employees . During the expansion , the storefronts on either side of the rotunda were removed and incorporated into the main lobby . The glass showcases of the original lobby were replaced with the wall panels . The city names were changed to reflect new distances and spellings , and a hallway was extended to the entrance on Second Avenue . History . The Medill family published numerous large newspapers in the United States in the early 20th century , including the Tribune Media conglomerate . One family member , Joseph Medill Patterson , founded the Daily News in 1919 as the United States first daily tabloid . While the Daily News was not an immediate success , it became the citys largest newspaper by 1925 , with a daily circulation of over a million . The Daily News was originally based at 25 City Hall Place in the Civic Center of Lower Manhattan , moving in 1921 to a five-story building nearby at 23 Park Place . By 1927 , the latter building had become insufficient for the Daily News operations . The Daily News then started to look for new locations , following the example set by The New York Times and New York Herald , which had previously moved north to Midtown Manhattan from Lower Manhattan . According to the newspapers research manager Harry Corash , the citys population was centered in Queens , east of Midtown Manhattan across the East River . Planning and construction . Planning . The site ultimately chosen was on East 42nd Street ; the section east of Grand Central Terminal and Lexington Avenue had yet to be developed , and the Daily News historians called the area a row of old , assorted , unpretentious structures . Patterson said that the 42nd Street location was ideal , as it was on the same street as Times Square , where the rival Times headquarters were incidentally located . The Daily News bought a tract of land facing 41st and 42nd streets , between Second and Third Avenues on February 3 , 1928 , for $2.5 million ( equivalent to $ million in ) . At the time , the building was being envisioned as a 20-story structure . Eleven days later , the Daily News bought the lots at 41st Street and Second Avenue , which collectively comprised . Patterson selected Hood and Howells as architects for the new building . The pair had previously won the competition to design the Tribune Tower , the headquarters of the Chicago Tribune , which was owned by Pattersons cousin Robert R . McCormick . Hood had first proposed the Daily News Building as a tower , but Patterson had initially objected , claiming that he did not want the structure to be a monument . To get Patterson to acquiesce to the tower plan , Hood framed the plan as an efficient business decision and prepared numerous models for possible buildings , concluding that the most efficient one was a skyscraper of between 35 and 40 stories . Hood presented various floor plans to Patterson every week until Patterson acquiesced on the eleventh meeting . One of Hoods plans , which would have set back the tower above the third story to create a rising effect , was rejected by Patterson since it would have eliminated usable office space allowed under the zoning restrictions . Another plan to use a limestone facade was scrapped due to cost , and brick was used instead . Hood subsequently carved a plastic model of the building , which incorporated a tapered design . Hood also created drawings for the proposed building , which depicted a blocky mass with several setbacks . On the west side of the building was the Commercial High School , which the New York City Board of Education was planning to tear down . The Daily News and the Board of Education each agreed to cede toward a pedestrian walkway , which would make the Daily News Building freestanding on most of its frontage . However , only the Daily News section of the walkway was built , as the high school remained standing until the late 20th century . Construction . Blueprints were filed with the Manhattan Bureau of Buildings in June 1928 ; at the time , the building was to be composed of 36 stories and would cost $6.6 million ( ) . In addition to the Daily News itself , the new structure would contain Tribune subsidiaries that were related to the papers function . The ceremonial cornerstone , filled with relics of the Daily News owner Tribune Media , was laid in September 1928 . Construction of the steel frame had been finished in August 1929 . By late 1929 , the Daily News Building was almost complete . The rival Times described the project as one of several high-rise developments that were radically changing the old-time conditions along East 42nd Street . The other developments along that section included the Lincoln Building , Chanin Building , Chrysler Building , and Tudor City . In November 1929 , several mechanics were given craftsmanship certificates for outstanding work on the Daily News Buildings construction ; at that point , the Daily News Building was 75 percent rented . The Daily News started moving into the building in mid-1930 and the lobby opened to the public on July 23 , 1930 . The building , including the newspapers new printing presses , had cost $10.7 million ( ) . Early use and expansion . The New Yorker observed that the office space at the Daily News Building was designed at factory prices , which was part of the reason why Patterson had selected Hood as an architect . The lobby was popular and had 625,000 visitors a year by 1938 . The Daily News rented out the space in the building that it did not utilize . For example , American Locomotive Company subsidiary Alco Products took space in the structure , as did the Ahrens Publishing Company , the Museum of the Peaceful Arts , and a branch of the National City Bank of New York . In addition , United Press International moved its headquarters to the Daily News Building in 1931 . Daily News affiliate WPIX also took space in the building , broadcasting from its mast until 1951 . In the late 1950s , as part of a $20 million expansion of the Daily News facilities ( equivalent to $ million in ) , Harrison & Abramovitz were hired to design an expansion to the building and renovate the existing facilities . The project more than doubled in size , to . The additions were to be used by both the Daily News and the buildings other occupants . Turner Construction was hired for the annexs construction . Work started in May 1957 , and excavation on the annex started later that year . By April 1959 , the facade of the annex had been completed . The lobby was also renovated under the guidance of Daily News president Francis Marion Flynn . The new structure was completed in June 1960 , and by that August , the expanded building was 90 percent rented . The globe in the lobby was restored in a 61-week project that took place between 1966 and 1967 . Later use . By the 1970s , the Daily News and the International Paper Company were the main occupants of the Daily News Building ; when the latter moved out in 1978 , the vacant space was quickly occupied . By 1981 , Tribune Media was attempting to sell the Daily News with limited success .
