His father was a prominent American\n                industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n                Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n                and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n                had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n                the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n                North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n                Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n                Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n                Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n                Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n                a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n                States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n                1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n                to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n                Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n                Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n                While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n                Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n                the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n                Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n                affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n                area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n                the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n                replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n                Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n                until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n                supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n                Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n                conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n                re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n                committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n                Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n                and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n                positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n                Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n                the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n                Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n                the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n                Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n                investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n                administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n                political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n                odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n                was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n                Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n                funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n                rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n                1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n                member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n                designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n                conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n                legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n                oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n                world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n                conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n                addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n                the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n                conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n                his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n                on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n                Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n                cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n                Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n                health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n                Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n                he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n                Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n                instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n                and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n                Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n                Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n                rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n                handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n                significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n                the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n                by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n                funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n                and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n                institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n                abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n                he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n                was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n                the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n                left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n                in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n                constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n                Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n                America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n                gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n                party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n                and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n                a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n                introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n                with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n                protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n                Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n                services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n                income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n                Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n                accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n                Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n                re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n                Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n                (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n                Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P. Weicker,\n                Jr., United States Congressman and Senator from Connecticut, and Governor of\n                Connecticut, 1834-2010 (Bulk 1942-1995), consisting of ca. 100,000 items (2119\n                Hollinger boxes, 14 Oversized boxes, ca. 911.0 linear feet).","Series I contains Lowell Weicker's United States Senate Records.

Toliver, 2009.","Toliver, Ruth M. History of Kelley Street United Brethren in Christ Church, Newtown, Harrisonburg, Virginia, 1892-1906. Gaithersburg, MD: Signature Books, 1998.","Obituary for Austin G. Harris, Daily News-Record, April 8, 2005.","Ruth M. Toliver is a retired English teacher, local and family historian, and the author of   History of Kelley Street United Brethren in Christ Church, Newtown, Harrisonburg, Virginia, 1892-1906  (1998) and  Keeping Up With Yesterday  (2009). She is the daughter of Eugene Murdock and Myrtle Newman Murdock (1901-2000) and the granddaughter of George Ambrose Newman and Mary Dallard Newman. Ruth Toliver inherited many of the family papers that comprise this collection from her cousin Wendell Temple (d. 2005), son of Ruby Newman Temple. She married Lowell Toliver, son of Theodore Tolliver (1902-1967) and Phoebe Harper Tolliver (1906-1982). Lowell Toliver, who was born and raised in Harrisonburg, entered the U. S. Army in January 1953 and it was at this point that the spelling of his last name changed from Tolliver to Toliver.","Born February 4, 1855 in Winchester, Virginia to free Black parents, George Ambrose Newman moved to Harrisonburg in 1875 to serve as principal of the local African American school. Newman learned to read and write at an early age and also pursued his interests in music. He served for 33 years as a teacher and administrator in the city school system—chiefly at the Effinger Street School—and also held teaching positions in Warren County, Augusta County, and West Virginia. Six of Newman's children also pursued teaching and began their careers in Rockingham County. Along with Ulysses G. Wilson, local educator and half-brother of Lucy F. Simms, Newman paid the poll taxes of local Black men in response to disenfranchisement tactics during segregation. In addition to being an influential educator Newman was a minister, musician, a member of the Mt. Zion Lodge of Masons in Staunton, and a member of the John Wesley United Methodist Church (variously known as John Wesley Methodist Church and John Wesley M. E. Church) in Harrisonburg. Outside of teaching, Newman took positions as an agent of the Internal Revenue Service and a U.S. Deputy Marshall. ","George A. Newman married Margaret \"Maggie\" Dallard (1859-1887), daughter of Ambrose and Harriett Dallard, in 1877 and together they had four children. After Maggie's death in 1887, George Newman married Maggie's sister, Mary F. Dallard (1869-1968), as was Ghanian tradition. They had ten children. Newman is remembered as a trailblazing member of Harrisonburg's early African American community and a respected educational leader. Per his obituary, Newman had started his 66th reading of the Bible just months prior to his death. Newman passed away on April 6, 1944 at the age of 89.","Ruby Edith Newman (1898-1983) was born in Harrisonburg to George A. Newman and Mary Dallard Newman. She married Junius Leroy Temple in 1920. Ruby Newman Temple was a member of the John Wesley United Methodist Church and served for many years as the secretary of the church's Woman's Society of Christian Service (WSCS). WSCS met monthly at either the church or the home of a society member.","Austin Gerald Harris (1941-2005) was born in Harrisonburg to Carlotta Newman Harris and Austin St. Clair \"Dick\" Harris. He was the grandson of George A. Newman and Mary Dallard Newman on his mother's side and W. N. P. Harris and Geraldine Robinson Harris on his father's side. Harris attended Lucy F. Simms School and while a student entered a local \"How To Beautify Your City\" contest sponsored by the Spotswood Garden Club's Road Beautification Committee. Due to Harrisonburg and Rockingham County's connection to turkeys, Harris submitted the idea and complementary design for turkey monuments to be placed at the highway approaches to Rockingham County. Harris's submission was selected as the winner and the monuments were subsequently dedicated in December 1955. Harris also attended Banneker Junior High School and Theodore Roosevelt High School in Washington, DC. After graduation from Roosevelt, Harris matriculated at Howard University where he graduated in 1964. While a student at Howard, Harris was a member of the ROTC. Harris obtained his master's degree from Syracuse University and later worked at Niagara Mohawk Power Company (Syracuse) and Associated Utilities Company (New Jersey).","Wendell Ambrose Temple (1923-2005) was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia to Ruby Newman Temple (1898-1983) and Junius Leroy Temple (1898-1937). Locally, he attended Effinger High School and Lucy F. Simms School. He was an accomplished pianist and musician, and described as a child prodigy in the local newspaper. As a youth, Temple won state-wide music contests and performed at Harrisonburg's State Theater. He received his early training almost exclusively by local music instructor Thurston DeMasters. Temple graduated from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the University of Iowa. He taught at Florida A\u0026M University and Wilberforce University.","George A. Newman, Ruby Newman Temple, and Gerald Harris are all buried in Newtown Cemetery along with many of their immediate and extended family members.","Beyond the Newman family, much of this collection more generally documents Newtown, Harrisonburg's historically African American community located in the northeast section of the city. After Emancipation, this area was settled by formerly enslaved people who began purchasing lots in the Zirkle addition which was farmland located on the northeast edge of town that was newly opened up to residential development. During the 1950s and 1960s, Harrisonburg engaged in urban renewal (Project R4) during which the city identified \"blight\" areas and after acquiring homes and land under eminent domain, sold the property to developers. As a result many Black-owned homes and businesses in the Newtown area were razed, and community members were forced to relocate.","A portion of the original photographs copied for the tri-folds were provided to the Tolivers by community and family members.","George Newman's manuscript was digitized per the donor's request in February 2021. The digital scans are available to researchers upon request. Numerous manuscript pages have writing on their verso side (back) though these were not scanned. All of those pages were flagged by the archivist with a \"SEE VERSO\" slip of paper. The pages were kept in the order in which they were received with the exception of a few instances in which numbered pages were clearly misordered and were reordered by the archivist to reflect the accurate numerical page order.","Original description of the photographs created by the donor was largely retained within descriptive elements of the container list (e.g. thematic titles of tri-folds and item-level titles).","Loose programs and handwritten documents were removed from George Newman's notebook documenting the history of the John Wesley M. E. Church and arranged according to material type.","Materials related to Gerald Harris were largely kept in the same topical order in which they were received.","Allison Lyttle, JMU Libraries Music \u0026 Media Metadata Specialist, assisted in identifying, sorting, and describing Wendell Temple's sheet music which was donated in no discernable order.","Kelley Street United Brethren in Christ Church (Harrisonburg, Va.). Records, 1892-1905. Accession 37081, Church records collection, The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia.","The Ruth and Lowell Toliver Collection of Newman Family Papers, circa 1875-2005, comprises a manuscript, writings, personal papers, facsimile photographs, church records, and correspondence related to George A. Newman (1855-1944), his daughter Ruby Newman Temple (1898-1983), his grandson Austin Gerald Harris (1941-2005), and Harrisonburg's Northeast Neighborhood and Newtown.","According to Ruth Toliver, George A. Newman's 480-page manuscript titled \"A Miserable Revenge: A story of life in Virginia\" is a work of fiction with autobiographical elements. The manuscript is divided into 40 chapters and begins: \"A finer estate than that of Joshua Sowers could not be found in all Virginia. We will not give the exact date, let it suffice for us to say we begin our story April the first, in a certain part of the nineteenth century. The morning was a clear, beautiful one. We locate the scene of our story in the county of Frederick, a short distance from the then small town of Winchester. The estate was rightly named Brookland, for the land was covered with brooks. Mr. Sowers owned a large mill.\" Newman introduces a character named William G. Reed as the hero of the story who is leaving Brookland for Chicago. While not explicitly discussed in the manuscript, it is presumed that both Sowers and Reed are white men. African American characters include Jack, Joshua Sowers's \"faithful servant;\" Aunt Sally, the Sowers' enslaved cook; and George, a free child who lived with Sowers. Researchers should note that the manuscript contains the use of racial slurs and further, the enslaved African American characters are depicted as speaking in a stereotypical dialect as was common practice in late 19th century American literature. George, on the other hand, \"had learned to read and write and he always spoke very fluently.\" ","The manuscript was published for the first time in 2025 by James Madison University Libraries Press Books and was edited by Mollie Godfrey, Brooks E. Hefner, Jeslyn Poole, and Evan Sizemore. The back cover book blurb provides the following context and summary:  \"In the mid-1870s, a young African American educator arrived in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he wrote a novel about antebellum life in the Shenandoah Valley. George A. Newman's A Miserable Revenge: A Story of Life in Virginia appears here in print for the first time, nearly 150 years after its composition. The earliest known example of a 'white life' novel--a Black-authored novel about white protagonists--A Miserable Revenge is set in and around Winchester, Virginia, in the 1840s. It draws on the sensationalist conventions of popular fiction of the time to spin a story of dark secrets, lost relatives, mistaken identities, crime and detection, and romance. In the novel, Newman describes the relationship between free and enslaved Black Virginians, drawing on his experience as a free Black child indentured to a white landowner in Winchester before the Civil War.\"","The manuscript pages are numbered in the same hand as the manuscript (George A. Newman's). The following pages are not extant and are missing from the manuscript entirely: pages 71-72, 76-82, 84, 267, 272-275, 289-291, and 375. Newman's page number for page 331 was torn away and at a later time was numbered as page 332, but contextual clues confirm that it is in fact page 331. The page was marked as such by the archivist and the incorrect page number was also retained. Only two pages are present between pages 346-349, and for both of the extant pages the page numbers are at least partially torn away rendering them illegible and their exact order unclear. The pages were kept in the order in which they were received with the exception of a few instances in which numbered pages were clearly misordered and were reordered by the archivist to reflect the accurate numerical page order.","While the manuscript is undated, writings potentially in Newman's hand and appearing on select verso pages date to 1875 and 1876. Editors of the published version of the manuscript date the document to mid-1870s. The aforementioned writings largely appear to be handwriting exercises or draft correspondence and also include a nine page essay titled \"An Essay on Truth\" which begins on the verso of page 391 continuing through page 409 on the odd page numbers with a few pages skipped. While undated, context clues within the essay, specifically an anecdote regarding New York Senator Roscoe Conkling recently returning from Europe, suggest a date of 1877. Internal evidence suggests that the remarks were likely given by Newman to the local order of the African American fraternal organization Independent Sons and Daughters of Purity, only identified in the essay by the abbreviation \"I. S. \u0026 D. P.\" and \"Sons \u0026 D. of P.\" In this same essay, Newman writes about having to keep his remarks brief due to an upcoming teacher's examination. All of the manuscript pages with writing on their versos were flagged by the archivist with a \"SEE VERSO\" slip of paper.","George Newman's speech \"Observations on the Negro Problem\" primarily concerns education with commentary on industrial education, choice of occupation, and a comparison of education funding for American Indian students vs. African American students. Newman also discusses the topic of African colonization of Black individuals as proposed by \"so-called statesmen and mis-named philanthropists.\" Newman argues \"It is paradoxical to speak of sending him to a place when he is already there. We are to the manor born. This is now our native home....\" Newman recognizes that certain voting laws that require meeting educational and property qualifications are examples of \"adverse legislation,\" but argues that they might be a \"blessing in disguise.\" Newman concludes with a call for an equitably educated citizenry regardless of status. Edits made to the speech suggest that it may have originally been written circa 1902 and presented again in 1913. As such, a date of 1913 is applied to the speech given the contextual clues within despite the document being undated. A draft transcript created by Special Collections staff is filed with the speech.","Twelve cardboard tri-folds compiled by Lowell Toliver include approximately 133 facsimile photographs documenting people and places in Newtown and Harrisonburg's Northeast Neighborhood. The photograph descriptions were also compiled by Toliver as was the thematic arrangement of each tri-fold. Family names of people identified in the photographs include Harper, Tolliver/Toliver, Sampson, Yokley, Newman, Bundy, Dallard, Temple, Vickers, Brown, Nickens, and Johnson. Local churches and schools include John Wesley Methodist Church, Bethel AME Church, Effinger Street School, and Simms School. Researchers should note that the surname Toliver is spelled variously as Tolover, Tolliver, etc. in the collection. Lowell Toliver's last name was changed slightly from Tolliver to Toliver when he enlisted in the military.","Six minute books document the financial and administrative functions of the John Wesley Methodist Church's Woman's Society of Christian Service (WSCS) between 1943 and 1976. Ruby Newman Temple served as WSCS's secretary for a period of time and kept monthly minutes for the society. Member lists and membership dues are also documented in the minute books. WSCS meetings typically included prayer, scripture reading, hymn singing, a business report, and a program or a topic of discussion. WSCS engaged in community outreach by providing Christmas baskets for the sick in the community, sending sympathy cards, and making charitable donations. The Ruby Newman Temple correspondence primarily relates to her work with WSCS. ","Other materials related to John Wesley Methodist Church include anniversary programs as well as member lists and a brief church history compiled by George Newman. Printed materials related to the United Methodist Church but not specific to John Wesley Methodist Church are also included. ","Four hand-colored sketches by George A. Newman, son of Frederick Newman (1883-1959) are dated August 28, 1929. ","Materials related to Gerald Harris largely concern his design of the turkey monuments that are located on the highway approaches into Harrisonburg and his schooling and coursework at Lucy F. Simms School, Banneker Junior High School, Theodore Roosevelt Senior High School, and Howard University. Report cards and tuition receipts are included. Of interest is a 1954 letter from A. M. Stitt, Lucy F. Simms School principal, certifying that Harris was vaccinated as well as Harris's polio vaccination card.","Materials created by Wendell Temple primarily comprise original handwritten sheet music for piano. Pieces specifically written for the organ, pianoforte, and violin are also included. The bulk of the sheet music is undated but likely dates to the mid-1930s to late 1940s. The compositions are in various states of completeness and order. Sheet music was written on lined notebook paper, blank pages of voter rolls for the 1928 presidential election, and the back of letterhead for the Castle Hall of Rockingham Star Lodge No. 72 Knights of Pythias and the Democratic Campaign Committee. Additional papers include correspondence from Temple to his mother Ruby Newman Temple and an Effinger High School report card.","One copy of the pamphlet Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the John Wesley Methodist Church, Harrisonburg, Virginia, October 20th through 27th, 1940 was removed from the collection and cataloged separately as part of Special Collections' rare book holdings. A second copy remains in the collection.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

Newman's 480-page manuscript titled \"A Miserable Revenge: A story of life in Virginia\" is a work of fiction with autobiographical elements. The manuscript is divided into 40 chapters and begins: \"A finer estate than that of Joshua Sowers could not be found in all Virginia. We will not give the exact date, let it suffice for us to say we begin our story April the first, in a certain part of the nineteenth century. The morning was a clear, beautiful one. We locate the scene of our story in the county of Frederick, a short distance from the then small town of Winchester. The estate was rightly named Brookland, for the land was covered with brooks. Mr. Sowers owned a large mill.\" Newman introduces a character named William G. Reed as the hero of the story who is leaving Brookland for Chicago. While not explicitly discussed in the manuscript, it is presumed that both Sowers and Reed are white men. African American characters include Jack, Joshua Sowers's \"faithful servant;\" Aunt Sally, the Sowers' enslaved cook; and George, a free child who lived with Sowers. Researchers should note that the manuscript contains the use of racial slurs and further, the enslaved African American characters are depicted as speaking in a stereotypical dialect as was common practice in late 19th century American literature. George, on the other hand, \"had learned to read and write and he always spoke very fluently.\" \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe manuscript was published for the first time in 2025 by James Madison University Libraries Press Books and was edited by Mollie Godfrey, Brooks E. Hefner, Jeslyn Poole, and Evan Sizemore. The back cover book blurb provides the following context and summary: \u003cblockquote\u003e\"In the mid-1870s, a young African American educator arrived in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he wrote a novel about antebellum life in the Shenandoah Valley. George A. Newman's A Miserable Revenge: A Story of Life in Virginia appears here in print for the first time, nearly 150 years after its composition. The earliest known example of a 'white life' novel--a Black-authored novel about white protagonists--A Miserable Revenge is set in and around Winchester, Virginia, in the 1840s. It draws on the sensationalist conventions of popular fiction of the time to spin a story of dark secrets, lost relatives, mistaken identities, crime and detection, and romance. In the novel, Newman describes the relationship between free and enslaved Black Virginians, drawing on his experience as a free Black child indentured to a white landowner in Winchester before the Civil War.\"\u003c/blockquote\u003e  \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe manuscript pages are numbered in the same hand as the manuscript (George A. Newman's). The following pages are not extant and are missing from the manuscript entirely: pages 71-72, 76-82, 84, 267, 272-275, 289-291, and 375. Newman's page number for page 331 was torn away and at a later time was numbered as page 332, but contextual clues confirm that it is in fact page 331. The page was marked as such by the archivist and the incorrect page number was also retained. Only two pages are present between pages 346-349, and for both of the extant pages the page numbers are at least partially torn away rendering them illegible and their exact order unclear. The pages were kept in the order in which they were received with the exception of a few instances in which numbered pages were clearly misordered and were reordered by the archivist to reflect the accurate numerical page order.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWhile the manuscript is undated, writings potentially in Newman's hand and appearing on select verso pages date to 1875 and 1876. Editors of the published version of the manuscript date the document to mid-1870s.

Newman (1855-1944), his daughter Ruby Newman Temple (1898-1983), his grandson Austin Gerald Harris (1941-2005), and Harrisonburg's Northeast Neighborhood and Newtown.","According to Ruth Toliver, George A. Newman's 480-page manuscript titled \"A Miserable Revenge: A story of life in Virginia\" is a work of fiction with autobiographical elements. The manuscript is divided into 40 chapters and begins: \"A finer estate than that of Joshua Sowers could not be found in all Virginia. We will not give the exact date, let it suffice for us to say we begin our story April the first, in a certain part of the nineteenth century. The morning was a clear, beautiful one. We locate the scene of our story in the county of Frederick, a short distance from the then small town of Winchester. The estate was rightly named Brookland, for the land was covered with brooks. Mr. Sowers owned a large mill.\" Newman introduces a character named William G. Reed as the hero of the story who is leaving Brookland for Chicago. While not explicitly discussed in the manuscript, it is presumed that both Sowers and Reed are white men. African American characters include Jack, Joshua Sowers's \"faithful servant;\" Aunt Sally, the Sowers' enslaved cook; and George, a free child who lived with Sowers. Researchers should note that the manuscript contains the use of racial slurs and further, the enslaved African American characters are depicted as speaking in a stereotypical dialect as was common practice in late 19th century American literature. George, on the other hand, \"had learned to read and write and he always spoke very fluently.\" ","The manuscript was published for the first time in 2025 by James Madison University Libraries Press Books and was edited by Mollie Godfrey, Brooks E. Hefner, Jeslyn Poole, and Evan Sizemore. The back cover book blurb provides the following context and summary:  \"In the mid-1870s, a young African American educator arrived in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he wrote a novel about antebellum life in the Shenandoah Valley. George A. Newman's A Miserable Revenge: A Story of Life in Virginia appears here in print for the first time, nearly 150 years after its composition. The earliest known example of a 'white life' novel--a Black-authored novel about white protagonists--A Miserable Revenge is set in and around Winchester, Virginia, in the 1840s. It draws on the sensationalist conventions of popular fiction of the time to spin a story of dark secrets, lost relatives, mistaken identities, crime and detection, and romance. In the novel, Newman describes the relationship between free and enslaved Black Virginians, drawing on his experience as a free Black child indentured to a white landowner in Winchester before the Civil War.\"","The manuscript pages are numbered in the same hand as the manuscript (George A. Newman's). The following pages are not extant and are missing from the manuscript entirely: pages 71-72, 76-82, 84, 267, 272-275, 289-291, and 375. Newman's page number for page 331 was torn away and at a later time was numbered as page 332, but contextual clues confirm that it is in fact page 331. The page was marked as such by the archivist and the incorrect page number was also retained. Only two pages are present between pages 346-349, and for both of the extant pages the page numbers are at least partially torn away rendering them illegible and their exact order unclear. The pages were kept in the order in which they were received with the exception of a few instances in which numbered pages were clearly misordered and were reordered by the archivist to reflect the accurate numerical page order.","While the manuscript is undated, writings potentially in Newman's hand and appearing on select verso pages date to 1875 and 1876. Editors of the published version of the manuscript date the document to mid-1870s. The aforementioned writings largely appear to be handwriting exercises or draft correspondence and also include a nine page essay titled \"An Essay on Truth\" which begins on the verso of page 391 continuing through page 409 on the odd page numbers with a few pages skipped. While undated, context clues within the essay, specifically an anecdote regarding New York Senator Roscoe Conkling recently returning from Europe, suggest a date of 1877.

This series, containing photographs taken by Goodsell for use in his books, has been divided into two subseries: ","Subseries a: United States. The images in this subseries concern state capitol buildings, city halls, and municipal buildings within the United States. The folders within the subseries are arranged alphabetically by state name. For states which contain too many images to fit in one folder, the images have been divided among the following subcategories: state capitol exteriors, state capitol interiors, city halls, other government buildings and finally miscellaneous subjects. ","Subseries b: International Structures and Spaces. These photographs of landmarks and municipal buildings in Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Canada, France, England, Italy and the United States are arranged alphabetically by name of country. ","Series II: Negatives. Located here are negatives for the photographs found in Series I. Like the images in Series I, the negatives are arranged alphabetically by state name. This series, however, has not been divided into subseries; the negatives for International Structures and Spaces are found at the end of the series. Some photographs in Series I are not represented by a corresponding negative in this series. ","Series III: Published Works. This series contains copies of Goodsell's works  The Social Meaning of Civic Space: Studying Political Authority through Architecture  and  The American Statehouse . ","Charles True Goodsell, professor emeritus and former director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The son of Charles T. and Francess Comee Goodsell, he earned a bachelor's degree at Kalamazoo College. After serving in the U. S. Army from 1954 to 1956, he obtained master's and doctoral degrees at Harvard University. ","In 1961, Goodsell became an assistant professor of public administration at the University of Puerto Rico; he was a research associate at Princeton University from 1964 until 1966, when he became a professor of political science at Southern Illinois University. Goodsell joined the faculty of Virginia Tech in 1978 as a professor of public administration and public affairs and served as director of the university's Center for Public Administration and Policy. ","Goodsell's numerous publications range beyond political science and public administration into the fields of architecture, economics, history, sociology, and Latin American studies. He is the author of  The Social Meaning of Civic Space: Studying Political Authority through Architecture ;  The American Statehouse: Interpreting Democracy's Temples ;  The Case for Bureaucracy: A Public Administration Polemic ;  American Corporations and Peruvian Politics ; and  Administration of a Revolution: Executive Reform in Puerto Rico under Governor Tugwell, 1941-1946  and many articles published in scholarly journals, as well as the editor of  The Public Encounter: Where State and Citizen Meet . He is a member of the American Political Science Association, the American Society for Public Administration, the Midwest Political Science Association, and the Southern Political Science Association. Recipient of the Dwight Waldo award for outstanding lifetime contributions to the literature of public administration, Dr. Goodsell retired in 2002.

The images and published works, which examine the interplay of architecture and politics in the state capitols, city halls and municipal buildings of the United States, are of value to students and professionals in history, architecture and political science. Using analysis and photographs of exteriors and interiors, Goodsell demonstrates how the architectural elements embody political values and ideas. ","In addition to the photographs of public buildings in the United States, the collection also includes images of municipal buildings and landmarks in Australia, England, Belgium, Canada, France, Italy and New Zealand.

His father was a prominent American\n                industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n                Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n                and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n                had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n                the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n                North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n                Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n                Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n                Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n                Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n                a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n                States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n                1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n                to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n                Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n                Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n                While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n                Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n                the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n                Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n                affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n                area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n                the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n                replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n                Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n                until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n                supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n                Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n                conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n                re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n                committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n                Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n                and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n                positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n                Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n                the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n                Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n                the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n                Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n                investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n                administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n                political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n                odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n                was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n                Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n                funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n                rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n                1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n                member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n                designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n                conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n                legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n                oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n                world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n                conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n                addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n                the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n                conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n                his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n                on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n                Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n                cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n                Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n                health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n                Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n                he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n                Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n                instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n                and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n                Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n                Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n                rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n                handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n                significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n                the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n                by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n                funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n                and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n                institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n                abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n                he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n                was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n                the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n                left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n                in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n                constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n                Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n                America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n                gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n                party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n                and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n                a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n                introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n                with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n                protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n                Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n                services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n                income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n                Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n                accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n                Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n                re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n                Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n                (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n                Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

The files shed light on the economic, social, and political issues\n                affecting Connecticut residents on an individual basis during the 1970s and 1980s.\n                They also document the efforts of Weicker's staff to address and resolve matters\n                brought to their attention by individual constituents. Sub-series A-C are arranged\n                alphabetically. Due to legal and privacy considerations, the files in Sub-series A-C\n                are closed to researchers until January 2086.","Series XI, Sub-series D contains miscellaneous documents which have been withdrawn\n                from the collection. The materials in this sub-series mainly concern constituent\n                matters. The documents in this sub-series are cross-referenced with the files and\n                boxes from which they were withdrawn from and the files are arranged by box and\n                folder number. This sub-series is closed to researchers until January 2086.","Series XII consists of memorabilia, such as plaques, awards, and trophies.","Series XIII mainly consists of oversized items concerning the life and political\n                career of Lowell Weicker, including photographs of Weicker, 1990 Gubernatorial\n                Campaign memorabilia, political cartoons, awards, posters, signed letters with bill\n                signing pens from Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan, and\n                other miscellaneous personal mementoes.

While serving in the House, Weicker\n                supported the United States space program.

In course of the committee's\n                investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n                administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n                political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n                odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n                was becoming increasingly conservative.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWeicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n                Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n                funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n                rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n                1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n                member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n                designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n                conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n                legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n                oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n                world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n                conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n                addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n                the 1980 campaign.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n                conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n                his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n                on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n                Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n                cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n                Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n                health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n                Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n                he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n                Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n                instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n                and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n                Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n                Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n                rights, busing, and school prayer.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWeicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n                handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n                significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n                the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n                by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n                funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n                and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n                institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n                abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n                he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n                was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n                the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n                left the Senate.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWeicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n                in January 1989.

Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n                party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n                and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n                a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n                introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n                with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n                protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n                Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n                services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n                income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n                Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n                accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n                Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992.

He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n                Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n                conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n                re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n                committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n                Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n                and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n                positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n                Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n                the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n                Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n                the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n                Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n                investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n                administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n                political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n                odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n                was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n                Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n                funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n                rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n                1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n                member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n                designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n                conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n                legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n                oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n                world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n                conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n                addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n                the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n                conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n                his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n                on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n                Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n                cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n                Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n                health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n                Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n                he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n                Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n                instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n                and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n                Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n                Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n                rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n                handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n                significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n                the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n                by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n                funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n                and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n                Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n                institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n                abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n                he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n                was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n                the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n                left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n                in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n                constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n                Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n                America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n                gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n                party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n                and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n                a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n                introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n                with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n                protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n                Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n                services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n                income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n                Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n                accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n                Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n                re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n                Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n                (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n                Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.
