"Recent Events and Current Status:\n\nOn August 8, 2006, Douglas pleaded not guilty to a charge of allowing his brother to use his identity to apply for a motorcycle license. Douglas was formally charged with a misdemeanor count of complicity in June as the result of William Douglas III's, his 36-year-old brother, attempt to use his name and identity to obtain the license for him. William Douglas III pleaded not guilty to a falsification charge on August 8, 2006. Each charge carries a maximum of six months in jail upon conviction.\n\nOhio Bureau of Motor Vehicles investigators said on June 8 that Buster Douglas waited in a car outside a BMV office in Columbus while his brother got a license for him. A clerk challenged William Douglas' identity, BMV spokesman Fred Stratmann said after the charges were filed.[1]\n\nAccording to public court filings, Douglas currently resides on the far east side of Columbus.\n\n\n[edit] Trivia\nMade his feature film acting debut in the Artie Knapp science fiction comedy film Pluto's Plight. \nDouglas was the star of the video game "James 'Buster' Douglas Knockout Boxing" for the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis. This game is considered as a response to Nintendo's Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, especially since Tyson lost to Douglas, which Sega took advantage in order to promote their early Genesis does what Nintendon't advertisements. The game turned out to be a huge disappoinment while its competition remains a classic to this day. \nA week and a half after defeating Mike Tyson, Douglas replaced him as special guest referee for the Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage match at WWF's The Main Event III. After the conclusion of the match, Douglas knocked Savage to the canvas with two punches. After the match, the media had a field day ridiculing Douglas' involvement with the WWF, raising the question of why it took the heavyweight champion of boxing two punches to knock out a wrestler. \nDouglas is one of the few non-students to be honored by The Ohio State University with the opportunity to dot the "i" during the performance of Script Ohio.

David Hamilton Jackson\n(1884-1946)\n\navid H. Jackson was born in Estate East Hill, St.Croix on September, 28 1884.  He was an educator and later became a bookkeeper at a business owned by James C. Canegata, but he was only there for a few months before he began his work for the Danish owned territory of the Virgin Islands.\n\nSince 1779 the Danes had pressed strict censorship on all publications in the territory.  That same year an ordinance was authorized providing that only government subsidized newspapers could be published under strict government censorship.  Jackson traveled to Denmark & successfully petitioned the King of Denmark for removal of this law.  When Jackson returned home he organized the first free newspaper,  the Herald.  Liberty day is now holiday celebration of the this event.\n\nThe Herald Newspaper was just the beginning of Jackson's efforts for his people.  Ralph Bough helped Jackson organize the first labor union in the Danish West Indies during 1913.  With this union the people were able to abandon physical uprisings and begin discussing the problems with organized protests.\n\nThe labor movement later included St. Thomas, where the majority of the laborers were coal workers at the West India company wharf .  They earned $1 or more a day.  Only a small amount of St. Thomians were farmers, earning less.  On Sept. 1, 1892 the women (the majority of the coal workers were women) coal workers got frantic and demanded a wage increase and a payment in gold or its equivalent.  Gathering at Market Square and wielding sticks and other weapons to make their point.  Even though surrounded by 40 soldiers armed and prepared to take shots at the packed group, it was hard to keep the people in control.  Captain Pauludan of the military force was ready to give orders to shoot but Judge Fischer restrained him.  Luckily it rained and the crowd dispersed.\n\nThe next St. Thomas labor protest of the workers was in 1916.  By this time they had  organized the St. Thomas labor union with the help of George A. Moorehead, with a membership of about 2,700.  The coal carriers and other laborers were on strike in Oct. 1916 causing 3 ships go elsewhere for coal.  The West India Company  then entered into an agreement with the St. Thomas labor union, and began paying higher wages for the newly unionized workers.\n\nAfter the labor movement the Danish government sent down a commission to study what was happening in the Danish Virgin Islands.  They came to the conclusion that Denmark was too far away and was not knowledgeable enough of the problems in the Danish West Indies, they'ld save money if they transferred the Virgin Islands to the United States rather than invest lots of money to spend improving the poor conditions.  With entry into the American market, the commission believed that the islands economy would be improved.  Fed up with the promises of reform that the Danish government had given in the past, Jackson led the way in gaining support for the transfer of the Virgin Islands.  And even after the transfer Jackson had to fight for the citizenship of the residents of the new U.S. territory.\n\nDavid Hamilton Jackson died in 1946.  After serving his people as an educator, editor, labor leader, lawyer, judge, and legislator.  A housing project in Christiansted has been named in his honor.  And his birthday is a U.S. Virgin Island Holiday.

Frederick Douglass was born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, a slave in Talbot County, Maryland near Hillsborough, twelve miles from Easton. He was separated from his mother, Harriet Bailey, when he was still an infant. She died when Douglass was about nine years old. Douglass never knew anything about the identity of his father, other than that he was a white man, although some believe that his master, Captain Aaron Anthony, was his father. When Anthony died, Douglass was given to Mrs. Lucretia Auld, wife of Captain Thomas Auld; the young man was sent to Baltimore to serve the Captain's brother, Hugh Auld. When Douglass was thirteen, Hugh Auld's wife, Sophia, broke the law by teaching Douglass to read. Douglass later referred to this in his first abolitionist speach.\n\nIn 1837, Douglass met Anna Murray, who sold a poster bed to buy sailor's papers needed for Frederick Douglass's escape. Douglass escaped Slavery on September 3, 1838 boarding a train to Maryland dressed in a sailor's uniform and carrying identification papers provided by a free black seaman.\n\nDouglass continued reading. He joined various organizations in New Bedford, including a black church. He regularly attended Abolitionist meetings. He subscribed to William Lloyd Garrison's weekly journal, the Liberator, and in 1841, he heard Garrison speak at the Bristol Anti-Slavery Society's annual meeting. Douglass was inspired by Garrison, later stating, "no face and form ever impressed me with such sentiments (the hatred of slavery) as did those of William Lloyd Garrison." Garrison was likewise impressed with Douglass, and mentioned him in the Liberator.\n\nSeveral days later, Douglass gave his first speech at the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society's annual convention in Nantucket Island. Twenty-three years old at the time, Douglass later said that his legs were shaking. He conquered his nervousness and gave an eloquent speech about his life as a slave.\n\nIn 1843, Douglass participated in the American Anti-Slavery Society's Hundred Conventions project, a six month tour of meeting halls throughout the east and middle west of the United States. He participated in the Seneca Falls Convention, the birthplace of the American feminist movement, and was a signatory of its Declaration of Sentiments.\n\nDouglass later became the publisher of a series of newspapers: "The North Star", "Frederick Douglass Weekly", "Frederick Douglass' Paper", "Douglass' Monthly" and "New National Era". The motto of "The North Star" was "Right is of no sex--Truth is of no color--God is the Father of us all, and we are all Brethren".\n\nDouglass' work spanned the years prior to and during the Civil War. He was acquainted with the radical abolitionist Captain John Brown but did not approve of Brown's plan to start an armed slave revolt. Douglass believed that the Harpers Ferry attack on federal property would enrage the American public. Douglass would later share a stage in Harpers Ferry with Andrew Hunter, the prosecutor who successfully convicted Brown.\n\nDouglass conferred with President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 on the treatment of black soldiers, and with President Andrew Johnson on the subject of black suffrage. His early collaborators were the white abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips. In the early 1850's, however, Douglass split with the Garrisonians over the issue of the United States Constitution.\n\nDouglass had five children; two of them, Charles and Rossetta, helped produce his newspapers.

I think you mean Frederick Griffiths.  He took two strains of _Streptococcus pneumoniae_.  One was deadly, one wasn't.  He found that if he killed the deadly cells, then mixed them with the harmless cells, the harmless ones would become deadly.  This indicated that the stuff that made the deadly strain deadly was not alive and could be transferred to another cell (i.e., it was chemical in nature).  We now know that the stuff he theorized is DNA.
