Rosalie Gardiner Jones (1883-1978) was a wealthy Oyster Bay socialite and suffragist known as "General Jones"--she also had a law degree, and late in life was infamous for keeping many goats on her estate. www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-past1215,0,6... Jessie Belle Hardy Stubbs MacKaye was originally from Chicago, and one-time president of the Milwaukee Women's Peace Society. She was Columbia University educated, and legislative chair of the Women's Peace Society in NYC. She was noted for "urging all women to remain unmarried or to refuse to bear children until some efficient means should be devised to secure the world against the devastation of war." Jessie Stubbs died by suicide in 1921. While grieving her death, husband Benton Mackaye began formulating the idea that became the Appalachian Trail. www.erikness.com/Stories/bentonmackaye.html

On August 27, 1956, Tallahassee police arrested Reverend C.K. Steele and Reverend Daniel Speed for operating a carpool service without a license. Steele and Speed organized the carpool in order to provide transportation for African-Americans during the Tallahassee Bus Boycott. On October 21, Steele, Speed, and 19 others were convicted by Tallahassee judge John A. Rudd of operating an illegal transportation business and fined $11,000. In response, Steele traveled the country to raise money to pay the fines. Despite resistance by police and city officials, the boycott ultimately succeeded in desegregating public buses in Tallahassee.
