Hello,

Please don't create duplicate articles (known as "forks") at slightly different names. There should only be one article on a particular topic, and any alternate titles should be redirects. Accordingly, I have changed Judge London Steverson to a redirect to London Steverson, and the article Judge London Steverson. with a "." at the end has been deleted. -- Curps 07:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

There are no reference sources to cite, so far. i am writing from personal memory.Ichbinalj

Thank you for your help.There are photos and logs, journals, Coast Guard Academy yearbooks, such as Tide Rips 1968, and other documentary evidence of all the facts that are stated. I just sat down and started writing. I am pulling together the hard evidence to support all of the facts stated. Much of it is in the hands of Coast Guard custodians of records. Some of it I have. The challenge is scanning the photos and uploading them.Ichbinalj 20:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

18 Apr comments from ichbinalj:The Four Class system appeared to work just fine until the female cadets arrived. The first females entered the Coast Guard Academy in 1976. Prior to 1976 the Four-Class System created an environment where rape would never have been thought remotely possible. Adding females changed the entire chemistry of the cadet corps. Life in the Cadet barracks was not the same anymore. Crossing the Sexual divide was much different from crossing racial lines. When Black male cadets entered the cadet corps in 1962, the Four Class System was not threatened. Strict discipline was maintained. There was no increased desire to fraternize across Class Lines. Putting women next door to sexually deprived virile young men at the height of their sexual development was tantamount to putting sheep in the lion's den. It was an invitation to feast. Having women in the cadet barracks, on the same floor, in the next room, and permitting closer interaction between classes, was a recipe for disaster. A lax disciplinary environment with fraternization between classes begged for rape or some form of sexual assualt. Moreover, there were other rapes long before Cadet Smith entered the Academy. One occurred onboard the Eagle on a cadet summer cruise in about 1978. It did not involve a Black cadet, male or female.(23:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC))

Thanks for uploading Image:BlackCadetsDSC02371.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.
