Oral history of Ill. school mergers available
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - The highly contentious issue of school consolidation in Illinois has been captured in 46 oral histories made available online by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
Parents, teachers, officeholders and even former state superintendents of schools give their stories, some beginning in the 1950s, from various angles. The one-room schoolhouse disappeared shortly after World War II and consolidations occurred rapidly in the ensuing decades.
A major force behind mergers has been the revolution in farming - larger plots of land worked by fewer people. That has meant a steady depopulation of rural areas and with it, local schools.

The Everlasting Rise
On March 22nd 1963 Grand Ayatollah Golpaygani held mourning ceremony for Imam Sadeqs martyrdom anniversary. The regimes commandos and agents attacked this ceremony. Some students were killed or injured. Most of Iranian people particularly the clergy became sad for this catastrophe. The clergy, grand ayatollahs, bazaar shopkeepers, guilds, Islamic communities and groups, condemned this attack and supported Qum seminary school by issuing a number of statements.
Among all these statements, the Imam Khomeinis was more revealing, braver, and more incisive. His holiness had asked preachers and speakers to reveal the Pahlavi regime genocide in the last three days of Muharram ten days of mourning ceremonies for Imam Hussein. Imam Khomeini was about to speak revealingly in Feyziyyeh School on Ashura evening. In Tehran "Islamic Councils Coalition" were scheduling a big rally against the regime on Ashura.
Muharram began and preaching sessions began. People began their own mourning ceremonies. There were few days to Ashura. "Islamic Councils Coalition" wanted to gather people in front of Haj Abolfath Mosque on Ashura. However, they were worried about Teyyeb Haj Rezai(1) and Hussein Ramezan Yakhi(2) who would possibly raid the population. Martyr Haj Mehdi Eraqi talked to them on behalf of "Islamic Councils Coalition" and they promised not to raid Ashura ceremonies. I joined the population in the morning of Ashura. Number of people was growing moment by moment. Suddenly a high-sounding mourning group arrived. Naser Jegaraki(3) was the head of that group. Apparently he had come to raid the ceremony and people. He entered Haj Abolfath Mosque. However by the hoax that Martyr Haj Mehdi Eraqi(4) made in his speech, scruples prevented Nasser Khan and he returned.
After Haj Mehdi Eraqis speech, we moved toward Sar-cheshmeh and then Majlis, Mokhber-ud-dowleh crossroads, Istanbul crossroads, British Embassy, and Ferdowsi square. We would stand in some points and short speeches were made. Then we continued toward Tehran University. |
