Local Hero: Alliance Freedom & Sgt. Russell Logan

Posted on by

MEMPHIS, TN (localmemphis.com) - For more than two decades, Alliance Freedom has worked on behalf of veterans providing scholarships for their children, building them homes, and sending them on much needed vacations.

Literally anything that just might make their lives a little easier.

Last week one local veteran from Millington got a pretty cool surprise from the organization.

For the past three years in Milan, Tennessee, they have had a freedom celebration.

Remembering the soldiers who did not come home

"We like to celebrate our veterans thank them and appreciate everything that they do," organizer Shawn Rochelle said.

And those that did, like air force tech Sgt. Russell Logan, who came home. Just not the same way he left.

"I remember getting up off my back and didn't really know what was going on. I didn't feel nothing but for pressure," Logan said.

While serving in Afghanistan in 2011, Logan stepped on a landmine there. Losing his left leg.

He was forced to retire from the military in 2013.

Why Some NC Sterilization Victims Won't Get Share Of $10 Million Fund | WUNC

Posted on by

In 2013, North Carolina lawmakers set up a $10 million compensation fund for victims of state-sponsored eugenics. More than 780 people applied, claiming they had been forcibly or coercively sterilized by the state. Now, after an initial review, the state has decided only about 200 of those claims are valid, while more than 500 have come up short. The applicants are either denied outright or are asked for more information.

Eric Mennel reports on individuals whose sterilization claims are being denied by the state.

But we're also now learning that the state's eugenics program - once thought to be managed entirely by the North Carolina Eugenics Board - was actually much bigger. This fact presents problems for many seeking compensation.

Debra Blackmon's Story

In January, 1972, two social workers went to the home of Debra Blackmon. Blackmon was about to turn 14, and was intellectually disabled. It's hard to know exactly what was said, but court and medical documents have some details. They point out that Blackmon was "severely retarded" and had "psychic problems" that made her difficult to manage during menstruation.

The documents say Blackmon and her parents were counseled on the matter, and that it was in Blackmon's best interest that she be sterilized.

Debra Blackmon is 56 years old now. She's sprite and funny. She has a hard time remembering too many of the details, but she remembers that day in Charlotte Memorial Hospital. "My daddy said, 'Please don't hurt [my] baby,' and he was crying," she recalls.

"We didn't find out until recently the extent of the surgery and what they did to her," says Latoya Adams. Adams is Blackmon's niece. She was born the year after Blackmon was sterilized and grew up hearing about it from older family members.

Last year, the General Assembly created a $10 million fund to compensate victims of state-sponsored eugenics, the movement that sterilized thousands of people deemed unfit to have children. Adams knew her aunt had been sterilized, she knew there were social workers involved, she knew a court had ordered the procedure. All the pieces seemed to fit. So, she went looking for documentation.

She came back with the mother lode, documents that told the whole story. There was a court order, and the consent form social workers presented to Blackmon's parents. Adams discovered documents that detailed the entire procedure from pre-op to discharge. The doctor labeled it a "eugenics sterilization." And while it was a relief to have the information, it was also remarkably sad.

Spiaggia di Sansone, Tuscany: Located on Isola d'Elba (Elba island), just a short ferry ride from the region's rolling hills and vineyards, this beach is peppered with smooth white pebbles.

Spiaggia di Chiaia di Luna, Lazio: You won't find a better sunset vantage point than from its sandy, sheltered shore.

Spiaggia di Tordigliano, Campania: Only accessible by yacht, or by a rocky, two kilometre-long hillside trail, this beach remains unspoiled and commonly unfrequented.

Cala Pulcino, Sicily: You're most likely have this white sand cove with terrific views over the Mediterranean all to yourself.

Scala Dei Turchi, Sicily: You won't get a better view of southern Sicily's strange, spectacular landscape anywhere else.

Spiagga Macarro, Basilicata: In Maratea, a port town in Basilicata, there are many secluded coves and beaches, but the most striking is Spiagga Macarro.

Spiaggia di Caminia, Calabria: When in Calabria, head towards the Ionian coast - you'll find a smattering of sleepy "secret" beaches with the same iridescent waters.

Spiaggia del Due Sorelle: You won't find any food vendors, snorkel gear rentals or shower facilities here - just soaring limestone cliffs, silvery sand and the cool, translucent waters of the Adriatic.

Most sun-seeking visitors to Italy make a beeline for the obvious coastal getaways: Capri, Amalfi and the Cinque Terre. But beyond these famous shorelines, Italy abounds with equally beautiful and tourist-free beaches, in places you'd never expect. From the Tuscan countryside to the craggy cliffs of Marches, you'll find many spectacular hidden beaches - that you'll have all to yourself.
