WOYM: Former Roanoker Louise Thaden made a mark in aviation history

By Ray Cox Special to The Roanoke Times An airplane hangar would have been both appropriate and necessary to house the library of newspaper clippings Louise McPhelridge Thaden accumulated for her lifetime aloft. A statue prominently displayed at an international airport would have worked nicely as well. A suitable model for the sculptor would have been the vintage photograph of Thaden posing with her left hand clutching a biplane wing strut, riding-booted right foot resting comfortably on the hub of the landing wheel assembly as she looked confidently toward the camera. The press loved Thaden, she of the first generation of daring American women pilots. From east to west and north to south the headlines heralded her flying feats of speed, height, and endurance.

Lyon s Legacy III: The Constitution and the Raid

Carter Glass, delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1901-02. (Image via Library of Congress) Lyon’s Legacy is a limited-run opinion column on the history of housing in Arlington. The views expressed are solely the author’s. “Discrimination! Why that is exactly what we propose… That exactly is what this convention was elected for to discriminate to the very extremity of permissible action under the limitation of the federal Constitution, with the view to the elimination of every Negro voter who can be gotten rid of.” Carter Glass, Virginia Constitutional Convention, 1902 Arlington wasn’t always white. Before 1900, the population of the county was nearly 40% African-American. By 1950, it was less than 5%. Today, the number is still less than 10%.

Feb 5, 2021 On Tuesday, Feb. 9 from 2-4 p.m. the biannual event will take place in the Virginia Room of the Ringhaver Student Center.

For the awardees, the event will remain in-person and include a presentation of certificates, a gift and a photograph of the event. Family and faculty will be invited to attend virtually through a special invite-only link.
