Control of United States Congress[edit]
Since 1855 the United States Congress has been dominated by a two party system comprised on one side by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party on the other. While other political parties over time have and may still exist, no other parties have possessed the support, organization and historical legacy these two parties do.
Parts of this article (those related to article) need to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (October 2016)

"Church of the Poison Mind" was a 1983 hit single for the British new wave band Culture Club. It was released as the lead single from their second - and most successful - album Colour by Numbers.
The song reached #2 in the United Kingdom, being kept out of the top spot by David Bowie's "Let's Dance".[1] It was also the band's fourth Top 10 hit in the United States and Canada. In America, it was still climbing the charts when "Karma Chameleon" was released as a single. This prompted Epic Records to release "Karma" ahead of schedule.
"Church of the Poison Mind" actually reached its peak position the same week "Karma Chameleon" debuted on the US charts. In many countries its B-side was the heavily percussive street song "Man Shake" and in some others, such as the United States, it was the song "Mystery Boy". Both songs were on the 12-inch single in many countries, except Canada, where it was issued with an extended version of previous hit "I'll Tumble 4 Ya".
Helen Terry sang backing vocals on the song.[2] AllMusic critic Stewart Mason stated that her "fiery performance of the chorus is a pop-song masterstroke."[3] Fellow Allmusic critic Jose J. Promis agreed that her performance "really brought the house down."[2] Mason regarded the song as a tribute to the songs written by Holland–Dozier–Holland for Motown in the 1960s.[3] It was ranked at number 8 among the top ten "Tracks of the Year" for 1983 by NME.[4]
In an interview with Rolling Stone in June 1984, Bob Dylan, when asked if he belonged to any church, joked that he adhered to the "Church of the Poison Mind".

English words without vowels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Words without vowels" redirects here. For other languages that contain words without vowels, see Vowel § Words without vowels.
English has words written without the five conventional vowel letters (A, E, I, O, U); it also has words without spoken vowel sounds. In most languages of the world, all or nearly all lexical words have vowel sounds, and English is no exception; however, rhotic dialects of English (such as most varieties of American English) have words like nurse and word with a syllabic r sound, but these words are written with a vowel letter immediately prior to an r. On the other hand, there are words that are not written with any of the five conventional vowel letters, though they are pronounced with a vowel sound. There also are some interjections and besides onomatopoeia, to ideophones in general, that contain neither vowel sounds nor syllabic r and which are thus spelled without a vowel letter.
This article does not cover abbreviations, such as km or ms, nor acronyms.

With Y[edit]
In English, the letter Y can represent either a vowel or a consonant sound,[1] and many Modern English words spell the /ɪ/ and /aɪ/ sounds with Y; these include by, lynx, my, dry, fly, fry, cry, pry, gym, shy, sky, sly, spy, try, sty, why, wry, hymn, cyst, myrrh, myth, wyrm, crypt, flyby, glyph, gypsy, lynch, nymph, pygmy, rhythm,[2] tryst and syzygy which are vowels in these cases.[3] The longest dictionary words (base forms excluding plurals) with Y the only vowel are rhythm, spryly, sylphy, Sphynx and syzygy.[4] The longest such word in common use is rhythms,[5][6] and the longest such word in Modern English is the obsolete 17th-century word symphysy. If archaic words and spellings are considered, there are many more, the longest perhaps being twyndyllyngs, the plural of twyndyllyng meaning "twin".[7] There are also many other words.
With W[edit]
Middle English used W to represent either a vowel or a consonant sound in the same way that Modern English uses Y, particularly during the 14th and 15th centuries. Vocalic W generally represented /uː/,[1][8] as in wss "use".[9] This practice exists in modern Welsh orthography, and there are a couple of words borrowed from Welsh that use W in this way:
The crwth[10] (pronounced /ˈkrʊθ/ or /ˈkruːθ/ and also spelled cruth) is a Welsh musical instrument similar to the violin:[11]
He intricately rhymes, to the music of crwth and pibgorn.[12]
cwtch (a hiding place or cubby hole) is also from Welsh (albeit a recent word influenced by English), and crwth and cwtch are according to Collins the longest English dictionary words without A, E, I, O, U, or Y.[4]
A cwm[13] (pronounced /ˈkuːm/) is a deep hollow within a mountain, usually with steep edges, like a corrie, such as the Western Cwm of Mount Everest. However, it is, in English literature, nearly always spelled combe (as in Ilfracombe and Castle Combe), coomb (as in J. R. R. Tolkien) or comb (as in Alfred, Lord Tennyson).
Without W or Y[edit]
There are fewer lexical words with none of the vowels AEIOUWY. The longest such lexical word (not counting interjections) is tsktsks,[2] pronounced /ˌtɪskˈtɪsks/. The mathematical expression nth /ˈɛnθ/, as in delighted to the nth degree, is in fairly common usage.[14] Another mathematical term without vowel letters is rng /ˈrʌŋ/, derived from ring by deleting the letter i.
Vowelless proper names from other languages, such as the surname Ng, may retain their original spelling. (See below.)
There are also numerous vowelless interjections and onomatopoeia found more or less frequently, including brr (brrr is occasionally accepted), bzzt, grrr, hm, hmm, mm, mmm, mhmm, pfft, pht, phpht,[11] psst, sh, shh, zzz.
Words without vowel sounds[edit]
Although English is considered to be one of the many languages that require vowels in each syllable,[15] the syllabic r of rhotic dialects in words like bird, learn, girl, church, heard, word, worst can be analyzed as being a syllabic consonant, [ɹ̩]. There is no uniform agreement among linguists as to whether these should instead be classed as rhotic vowels, [ɝ]. This may even differ from dialect to dialect.
The issue is similar in regard to nasal consonants and /l/, which can appear as the syllable nucleus in unstressed syllables. There are many disyllabic words where one of the syllables has no syllabic vowel, like curtain, and turtle: [ˈkɹ̩tn̩] and [ˈtɹ̩tl̩] (or [ˈkɝːtən], and [ˈtɝːtəl]), and even a few that are, or may be, trisyllabic, such as purpler [ˈpɹ̩.pl̩.ɹ̩], hurdler [ˈhɹ̩.dl̩.ɹ̩], burglar [ˈbɹ̩.ɡl̩.ɹ̩], gurgler [ˈɡɹ̩.ɡl̩.ɹ̩], certainer [ˈsɹ̩.tn̩.ɹ̩], and Ur-turtle [ˈɹ̩.tɹ̩.tl̩]. The words wyrm and myrrh[2] contain neither a vowel letter nor a vowel sound in some dialects: [ˈwɹ̩m], [ˈmɹ̩] (or [ˈwɝːm], [ˈmɝː]).
A list of English words without vowel sounds (mostly interjections) can be found here.
In addition, some unstressed function words may lose their vowel in more rapid speech. The word and frequently contracts to a simple nasal stop ’n, as in lock 'n key [ˌlɒk ŋ ˈkiː]. Words such as will, have, and is regularly contract to ’ll [l], ’ve [v], and ’s [z] (or [s] depending on context). Of these ’ll and ’s are, like ’n, sometimes pronounced without any adjoining vowel, as in It’s not.

Storylines[edit]
2006–2010[edit]
Ryan arrives with mother Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) and it is clear that the two of them have a very close relationship. Ryan is caught by Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) vandalising The Kabin. Michelle makes him help in the newsagents every night after school for a week. For a time, Michelle dates affluent businessman Sonny Dhillon (Pal Aron). After they break up, Ryan goes joyriding in Sonny's car. He is caught by the police, though later released. When he returns to the Street, his uncle Paul Connor (Sean Gallagher) smacks him across the face. The reason for this is later revealed to be that Paul caused the demise of Ryan's late father, Dean, due to careless driving. Several months later, Paul dies in a car accident after kidnapping Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson). Ryan is really upset after losing Paul and his father but he survives without them remembering that he still has Liam.
Ryan is stalked by a mysterious stranger who knows him by name. When tracked down, the man, Nick Neeson (Robert Horwell), explains that he believes Ryan to be his real son, and his own son Alex Neeson (Dario Coates) to be Michelle's after a baby mix-up at the hospital. A DNA test later confirms this to be the case. Ryan gets extremely jealous when his mother starts taking Alex out for the day and has a fight with him. They are both hit by a car but suffer minor injuries. Ryan opens up to his uncle Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier) about how much Michelle is choosing Alex over him and then cries. Liam tells Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), Michelle's boyfriend, who tells Michelle that Ryan is losing sleep over the fear of losing his only parent. Even though Michelle does not want to lose them both she still has to send Alex home because Ryan is the son that she has loved and raised since birth. She is also reassured by Steve that even though Alex is the son she had with Dean, Ryan is the son she raised with him and the son Dean knew before he died. After Alex moves out, Ryan moves back in. Ryan continues to see Nick on occasion but stops after his uncle's death. He realises that no one can compare to Dean. One time Ryan leaves his book behind, leaving his mother to chase after him starting to say he is just like his dad. Ryan becomes upset at the prospect of not inheriting anything from Dean but then Michelle reassures him that because they spent so much time together his traits have rubbed of on Ryan. Ryan then looks wistful as he started to realise how great Dean was.
Ryan as he appeared in 2009, portrayed by Thompson.
Ryan attends Tony Gordon's (Gray O'Brien) stag party. Tony sends Ryan home as he is too young to go to a strip club and later that night Liam is killed in a hit-and-run. Ryan is later informed of the news by Michelle. Ryan became inconsolable and Michelle thinks it best that he doesn't see the body at the morgue as it will upset him even more. However, Ryan adamantly argues that he has to come in order to get closure so his mother reluctantly gives in. On the day of Liam's funeral, Ryan tells Maria that he is trying to escape his grandfather Barry (Frank Grimes) because he is trying to bond with him like Liam and he is not in the mood, however, this all changes after the funeral. Ryan kisses Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) after one of his gigs and the pair enter into a relationship. Sian's father, Vinnie (Ian Dunn) arrives on the scene, threatening Ryan as he thinks that he has been sleeping with Sian, after finding condoms in her bag. It is revealed that Sian bought the condoms and she and Ryan have sex. Sophie, Michelle and Jake Harman (Kenny Doughy) catch them, causing an argument that results in Sian leaving and spoiling Michelle and Jake's night. After Sian's father finds out that Ryan and Sian have slept together, he sends Sian to Southport to live with her mother, leaving Ryan and Sophie devastated.
Sian comes back to Weatherfield and is reunited with Ryan and Sophie. Later Sian breaks up with Ryan, after suspecting that he is attracted to another girl. When Sophie finds Ryan sat on the pavement outside his house, she gives hime some advice on Sian. Ryan misinterprets the situation and kisses Sophie, causing her to walk off in disgust. Ryan later begs Sophie not to tell Sian about what he did and he later makes amends with her. However, Sophie tells Sian about the kiss in front of Ryan and Sian ends the relationship for good. After Sian goes back to Southport, Ryan bumps into Sophie in the street and tells Sophie he thinks they are getting back together after Sian phoned him. However, Ryan catches Sophie and Sian kissing at the builder's yard. Although he is initially disgusted that Sian is bisexual, he agrees to keep quiet about the relationship. Ryan tires of life in Manchester but stays on, as he feels that Michelle is dependent on him, until Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) convinces him that he needs to start the life he dreams of. After spending a number of days in Glasgow with Ciaran, Ryan decides to transfer to university there and leaves Weatherfield.
2012–2013[edit]
Ryan as he appeared in 2012, portrayed by Heras.
Two years later, Ryan returns to Weatherfield and spends time with Sophie. He tries to kiss her, but she rejects him. Ryan accidently sets alight the curtains in Steve's house and Steve finds them trying to extinguish the flames, so tells Michelle. Michelle gets Ryan a job working at Underworld factory, but he fakes a fall and tries to sue the company. The factory's owner, Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis), proves Ryan faked his fall when he and Michelle see him performing the limbo in a bar. Michelle throws Ryan out of her flat, so he gets drunk at the Rovers. When Steve takes him home, Ryan confesses that he has been kicked out of university.
Ryan begins working at Street Cars taxi firm and befriends Kylie Platt (Paula Lane). While they drink together in the Rovers, Ryan offers Kylie some cocaine, but she declines and he takes it alone in the toilets. Michelle discovers this and reports him to the police; Ryan is released with a caution. Ryan later tries conning Steve into giving him some money, but it does not work. Ryan gets a job at the local kebab shop with Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), who tries to seduce Ryan. They have sex and Tracy tells him that she is pregnant; they decide to move to Scotland with Tracy and Steve's daughter, Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney). Tracy confesses to Ryan that she was lying; he gets high and plays chicken on the road with Sophie. As Ryan walks across the road, Sophie pushes him out of the way of an oncoming car and is knocked down. Sophie falls unconscious and Ryan runs away, worried that he will get into trouble for being in possession of drugs. Sophie lies to the police, stating that she cannot remember what happened, before warning Ryan that she will not tell the police if he stops taking drugs; he agrees.
Ryan grows closer to Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote), who gets a job working in the kebab shop. She develops feelings for Ryan and sabotages his date with Steph Britton (Tisha Merry). When Ryan confronts her, she kisses him and they begin an affair. Katy's boyfriend, Chesney Brown (Sam Aston), dislikes their friendship and feuds with Ryan. Chesney discovers the affair and ends his relationship with Katy, so she and Ryan begin a public relationship. Ryan struggles with a serious relationship and caring for Katy's young son, Joseph Brown (Lucca-Owen Warwick). When Katy spots Ryan with a random woman, Jamie-Lee (Kate Holderness), she ends their relationship. Steve then advises Ryan to find a long-term job, which makes Ryan realise there is nothing left for him in Weatherfield. He contacts a friend, who offers him a job as a DJ in Ibiza; Ryan accepts the job and leaves Weatherfield.
2018–[edit]
Ryan returns five years later for Michelle's wedding to Robert Preston (Tristan Gemmill). When Robert's best man cancels his stag party, Ryan arranges a pop stars-themed party, where he clashes with Alex, now known as Ali. On Michelle's wedding, Ryan goes missing but is collected from a house by Robert and Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard). Ryan explains that he has had sex with a married woman and when her husband arrives, Ryan claims that Robert had sex with her so he punches Robert. After the wedding, Ryan decides to stay in Weatherfield. He applies for a job at Underworld factory, but is eventually appointed a waiter at the restaurant Speed Daal. Ryan is fired after spying on Kayla Westbrook (Mollie Winnard) with Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), but she secures Ryan a job as a labourer with Gary Windass (Mikey North). He arrives late on his first day and leaves early after completing the wrong job, angering Gary.
Ryan asks Bethany on a date and they have dinner at Michelle's flat. As they get intimate, Bethany suffers a panic attack and hits Ryan several times. She rushes out, which is seen by her mother, Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien), who presumes that Ryan attacked Bethany and attacks him, leaving him hospitalised. When he awakens, he cannot remember any details about the attack. When Ryan remembers the attack, he begins blackmailing Sarah for money. Ryan decides to return to Ibiza, but changes his mind after speaking with Michelle. Sarah stands up to Ryan, so he stops blackmailing her and resumes his relationship with Bethany.
Casting[edit]
Thompson auditioned for the role of Cameron McIntyre in 2006, however the producers asked him to audition for the part of Ryan Connor instead.[1] His audition was successful and he was given a six-month contract, along with the option to extend it for up to a year.[1] Thompson billed his character as "mischievous" and said that he is "not a bad lad, but he's not a good lad either."[1] Series editor Garth Philips teased the Connor family, calling them "a twenty-first century Coronation Street family".[2] He said that the family are "a joy to watch on screen" and the audience would be "enthralled and excited by them".[2] Thompson made his debut appearance as Ryan on 30 August 2006.[1]
Development[edit]
Early storylines[edit]
In October 2007, it was announced that an upcoming storyline would involve Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) finding out that Ryan may not be her son. A show insider told the Daily Star: "Can there really be anything more traumatic for a parent to have to endure?" The storyline ended in early 2008 and was not mentioned since. Speaking of the storyline Ben Thompson said: "It's weird that for such a massive storyline it never came to anything, It's been one of those very weird ones in terms of that storyline. It's sort of been forgotten and I don't understand how and if they are going to follow it up."[3]
In 2009, Ryan began a relationship with Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson). Thompson filmed his first screen kiss with her. He said of the experience, "It was bizarre because Sacha had done one before and I hadn't. I knew the line I had to say and then kiss her. I knew it every time, and every time I said it I was shaking." He continued, "Oh it was dreadful. I mean I don't get nervous when I go on stage or anything like that, but it was just bizarre. It was one of those things that I got really nervous about."[4] Upon his 2012 return, it was announced that Ryan would embark on a relationship with an older woman.[5]
Departure (2010)[edit]
In August 2010, it was rumoured that Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson was considering axing a number of the younger cast including Ryan, Chesney Battersby-Brown (Sam Aston) and Gary Windass (Mikey North) because he feared that the show was becoming more like Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks.[6][7] A Coronation Street spokeswoman confirmed Thompson's contract was not being renewed, but she added he might be paid episode-by-episode if needed.[7] On screen Ryan chose to attend a Scottish university and he departed in October.[7] The character's departure was confirmed but the producers denied that they had axed Ryan. An ITV spokesperson said: "Ryan hasn't been axed from the show and is still very much a part of Michelle Connor's life. There are plans to see him in future episodes when he returns from university for holidays.[8] In October 2010, Thompson said of his departure: "It wasn’t my choice to leave Coronation Street," he said. "But a new producer came in and wanted to shake things up. I am one of the characters that sadly wasn't part of the plan. Ryan is being sent off to university and can come back, but I don’t know if that will happen for the foreseeable future. I am sad, because it has been the biggest part of my life for the past four years. It has given me the freedom to work on my music, though. Writing music is something I have always done, but I've never been able to focus on it before because I had to do Coronation Street. It's nice to be able to do something completely different to acting.[9] Kym Marsh revealed that she was upset over Thompson's departure as they were both very close.[10]
Reintroduction (2012)[edit]
In March 2012, Simon Boyle of the Daily Mirror reported that Ryan would be returning to Coronation Street.[11] Boyle said Ryan would return as "a very dark character" who has a "damaging impact" on the soap's younger residents.[11] The character's return was not confirmed until 17 May 2012.[12] Sol Heras took over the role from Thompson, after he chose not to return to the soap.[12] A writer for itv.com stated that Ryan returns home unexpectedly after he is thrown out of university.[12] Series producer Collinson said "Ryan returns carrying a dark secret and Michelle is going to have the fight of her life as she battles to get her troubled son back on the straight and narrow. Sol is a brilliant young actor and I'm so excited to welcome him to the cast."[12] Asked about his audition Sol Heras said: "I thought initially that it would be quite a long, drawn-out process, but it all happened quite quickly! I had my first audition with the casting department, and then I heard later that I'd made it onto the longlist of actors that they were considering. After that, I made it onto the shortlist, which to me was an achievement in itself. I then had a screen test with Kym Marsh and Brooke Vincent. Six days later, my agent phoned me to tell me that I'd got the part - so that was one of the best phone calls I've ever had."[13][14]
Drug abuse[edit]
In May 2012, it was rumoured that once Ryan would return he would now be a much darker character and would become involved in a drug storyline with Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent).[15] Kym Marsh who plays Michelle Connor confirmed the storyline in June 2012, Marsh said: "Ryan's been off doing his own thing, and has got heavily involved in drugs. Michelle expected him to come back as the same kid he was before he went away, but that's not going to happen." Asked how difficult this experience will be for Michelle, the actress replied: "Very hard. Michelle's got her work cut out trying to get Ryan back on the straight and narrow, but we'll see her get support from outside influences."[16] Speaking of the storyline Sol Heras said: "It’s a very serious storyline but in the real world it does happen. As long as it’s done professionally and done well, it’s great. I think it’ll be good for young people to see the consequences that come from drugs. You’ll see that the drugs are the reason that Ryan is falling out with everyone and causing trouble. There’s a loneliness to Ryan because no-one really trusts him. It just shows that it’s a bad way to go." Speaking of being compared to Ben Thompson (who previously portrayed Ryan) he said: "Ryan is not the way he was before and he’s picked up bad habits, so that’s enabled me to come in and essentially be a fresh character, He’s changed so much that I didn’t have to stick to how the previous actor had played him, which really helps when you’re coming into a new show."[17]
Relationship with Katy Armstrong[edit]
On 30 January 2013, a reporter for The Sun revealed that Ryan would grow closer to Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote) in a forthcoming storyline.[18] While they are running an errand together, their van breaks down and Katy and Ryan end up sharing a kiss.[18] Foote and Heras were pictured filming the kissing scene on location.[18] The following month, Foote teased the storyline during an appearance on Daybreak explaining that it begins when Katy is teased by her friends for being dull.[19] The actress continued "It's her friend's 18th birthday, so they're having a party. They all keep taking the mick out of her, saying she's sitting at home and she's boring. She just wants to go out and have fun, and then [Ryan] starts making a bit of a move on her!"[19] Ryan "sees Katy in a new light" when she turns up at The Bistro for her friend's birthday, where he is DJing. Heras commented that his character has not really noticed Katy before, as she is a stay at home mother, but seeing her "dolled up" and in his environment catches his attention.[19] Heras said "He realises how pretty she is and what a gorgeous girl she is. He manages to sort it for her to get a job at the kebab shop and yes he probably does have an ulterior motive."[20]
Katy and Ryan start to become closer at the kebab shop and one day go in for another kiss.[20] Foote believed that Katy had not had a "teenage wild time" because of her relationship with Chesney and their son, so her head is turned by Ryan and it is exciting for her.[20] Foote added that Katy does not mean to hurt Chesney, but the situation with Ryan gets out of her control.[19] Chesney later proposes to Katy in front of their family and friends at Faye Windass' (Ellie Leach) birthday party, but hours later he learns about her affair with Ryan.[21] The Daily Star's Peter Dyke and Katie Begley reported that Chesney would confront Katy in front of their son, demanding to know whether she had sex with Ryan and threatening to beat him up.[21] Chesney then "calls time on their romance" and throws Katy out.[21]
Departure (2013)[edit]
On 21 July 2013, Ed Gleave and Susan Hill from the Daily Star reported that Heras had quit Coronation Street.[22] The actor left at the end of his contract, while his character left later in the year.[22] Ryan's exit storyline saw him decide to take a job as a DJ in Ibiza, after realising that there is nothing keeping him in Weatherfield.[22] Steve suggests that Ryan should go to Ibiza and live his life. Steve knows that Michelle is worried about Ryan so he sees it as an opportunity solve their problems. Gregson told a reporter from TV Choice that his character was just offering Ryan advice. Steve's actions do not go according to plan when Michelle blames him for Ryan's departure.[23]
Reintroduction (2018)[edit]
This Morning presenter Sharon Marshall announced on 7 February 2018 that Ryan would be reintroduced during the year. Ryan returns following the reintroduction of Michelle's biological son, Alex "Ali" Neeson (James Burrows). It was unconfirmed whether Heras would reprise the role.[24] Series producer Kate Oates confirmed on 12 March 2018 that the role of Ryan would be recast.[25] She told Ben Lee of Digital Spy that an actor had been cast, although she refused to reveal his identity.[25] It was revealed on 26 March 2018 that actor Ryan Prescott had been cast in the role of Ryan.[26] Paparazzi photographs were released showing Prescott filming with cast members Tristan Gemmill (Robert Preston) and Rob Mallard (Daniel Osbourne).[26]
Reception[edit]
All About Soap's Laura Morgan called Ryan a "sweet, caring lad" while played by Thompson.[27] Upon the character's return in 2012, Morgan stated that he was "rebellious" and "a lazy oik".[27]

History[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (August 2018)
Circa 2017-2018 there was a debate in the Tyler community on whether the school's name should change, as Robert E. Lee became a controversial figure. In 2018 the district's board decided not to vote on a possible renaming, so the school kept its name.[4]

In the 1960s, when Lee's mascot was the Rebel, the school was famous for its working cannon and oversized Confederate flag. A group of seniors tended the cannon at games, firing it when the Rebel football team scored a touchdown. The football team entered Rose Stadium by running under the flag, reputed to be the second largest Confederate flag in the world (second only to one owned by the University of Mississippi). By 1972, the flag was retired and its whereabouts are unknown. The flag was retired shortly after four African-American players refused to run under the flag and ran around it instead, causing some local controversy. The cannon, retired in 1986, is now the property of Brook Hill School in Bullard, Texas.

"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara within the collection Gorilla, My Love. It is narrated by Hazel Parker, known as Squeaky, whose strong voice lures the reader in immediately. The central idea in the story is about how she has to take care of her older brother Raymond because he is disabled. The pivotal moment at the end shows Squeaky learning to be less self-centered by giving up her competitive running in order to start training Raymond for running. This happens after she wins a May Day race and has a moment of realization noticing Raymond mimicking her running.
The story takes place in Harlem and Squeaky mentions the setting two times in contrast to the "country" where she used to live. First, Squeaky is waiting for the race and narrates “I’m on my back looking at the sky, trying to pretend I’m in the country, but I can’t, because even grass in the city feels hard as sidewalk and there’s just no pretending you are anywhere but in a 'concrete jungle' as my grandfather says” (29). This moment shows there is no escaping the physical reality of her setting. Second, while Squeaky is running, she narrates: “I always feel like I’m in a dream, the kind of dream you have when you’re sick with fever and hot and weightless. I dream I'm flying over a sandy beach in the early morning sun, kissing the leaves of apples, just like in the country when I was little...” (30). Running for her transports her to a world of sandy beaches, apples, and the country, a setting entirely different from Harlem. This emphasizes for readers how running allows Squeaky to imagine herself anywhere, even a place she no longer lives, when she is engaged in an activity that defines her identity. It also emphasizes her sacrifice when she does make her decision to give it up for Raymond, but suggests that reaching for a goal greater than herself is motivating as well.[1]
