Going To Hear About This: Frank Johnson, Louis Shotridge,
and Civil Rights
by Ishmael Hope
"I wanted to share this article that I wrote. It is on Frank Johnson
and Louis Shotridge, and their civil rights work protesting Coliseum
Theater's No Natives Allowed admission policy in 1930 and 1931.
It is a very-little known part of Alaska's history, though I am
proud that Elizabeth and Roy Peratrovich's work is well documented,
and some other leaders as well, such as Peter Simpson and William
Paul. Frank Johnson in particular, I feel, is an unsung hero. There
are hundreds of others. They are my heroes."

The
Sword and the Shield
Excerpt: "The successful defense of aboriginal
claims by the ANB and its allies deflected, delayed, and in some
cases, defeated adverse legislation, holding the line until the
national political climate became more favorable to Native Americans.
As a result, Congress accepted a disclaimer section to the Alaska
Statehood Act of 1958 that served to maintain rather than circumscribe
aboriginal claims."
