# Coat of arms of York

The coat of arms of York is that belonging to the City of York Council, the local authority of the City of York, North Yorkshire, England. The blazon of the arms is Argent, on a cross Gules five lions passant guardant Or.
The arms were first recorded in 1587 after a heraldic visitation of Yorkshire, however it is possible that they were granted during the reign of Edward III (1327–1377). Richard II granted the city the right to carry a sword and ceremonial mace in processions and for the bearer of the sword to wear a cap of maintenance or chapeau; since the eighteenth century the arms have sometimes depicted with the sword and mace crossed behind the shield and the cap above it, but these additions have not been officially granted by the College of Arms.
The local government of York has been reformed since the arms were first granted, however each time they have been transferred to the new local authority.

## Description

The blazon, or heraldic descripton, of the arms is Argent, on a cross Gules five lions passant guardant Or. They consist of a silver field with a red cross, upon which are five golden lions facing heraldic right (the viewer's left) with their right forelegs raised and their heads facing out.
The arms are sometimes shown with a civic sword and mace crossed behind the shield and a cap of maintenance or chapeau above. A cap of maintenance is a cap of crimson velvet with an ermine trim.

## History

The arms were recorded without tinctures (that is without colours) in 1587, following an heraldic visitation of Yorkshire in 1584. They may have originally been granted during the reign of Edward III (1327–1377).
Richard II presented a sword to the city in 1387 to be used in civic ceremonies and, in 1397, the right to carry a mace was granted by royal charter. A cap of maintenance was presented to the city by Richard in 1393. These symbols have been used with the arms since the 18th century but have not been officially granted by the College of Arms, the heraldic authority for England.
When the Corporation of the City of York was abolished in 1974 and replaced by York City Council the arms were transferred to the new authority. When that body was itself abolished in 1996 the arms were transferred again to the present unitary authority by order in council in 1997.

# Paulin J. Hountondji

Paulin Jidenu Hountondji (11 April 1942 – 2 February 2024) was a Beninese philosopher, politician and academic considered one of the most important figures in the history of African philosophy. From the 1970s onwards, he taught at the Université Nationale du Bénin in Cotonou, where he was Professor of Philosophy. In the early 1990s he briefly served as Minister of Education and Minister for Culture and Communications in the Government of Benin.

## Education and career

Paulin J. Hountondji was educated at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris, graduating in 1966, and taking his doctorate in 1970 (his thesis was on Edmund Husserl). After two years teaching in Besançon (France), Kinshasa and Lubumbashi (Democratic Republic of the Congo), he accepted a post at the Université Nationale du Bénin in Cotonou, where he long taught as Professor of Philosophy.
His academic career was interrupted, however, by a period spent in politics. Having been a prominent critic of the military dictatorship that had ruled his country, Hountondji became involved in Benin's return to democracy (in 1992), and served in the government as Minister of Education and Minister for Culture and Communications until his resignation and return to the University in 1994.
Hountondji was until his death director of the African Centre for Advanced Studies in Porto-Novo, Benin, and served as the Bingham Professor of Humanities from 1 August 2008 to 31 December 2008 at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky.
In 1999, Hountondji was honoured with a Prince Claus Award from the Prince Claus Fund, an international culture and development organisation based in Amsterdam.

## Philosophical work

Hountondji's philosophical influences include two of his teachers in Paris, Louis Althusser and Jacques Derrida. His reputation rests primarily on his critical work concerning the nature of African philosophy. His main target was the ethnophilosophy of writers such as Placide Tempels and Alexis Kagame. He argued that such an approach confuses the methods of anthropology with those of philosophy, producing "a hybrid discipline without a recognizable status in the world of theory" ([1997], p. 52). Part of the problem stems from the fact that ethnophilosophy is in large part a response to Western views of African thought; this polemical role works against its philosophical validity.
His approach widened somewhat in later work; he still rejected ethnophilosophy as a genuine philosophical discipline, but he had moved towards more of a synthesis of traditional African thought and rigorous philosophical method. He defended that thesis until his last days.

## Death

Hountondji died in Cotonou on 2 February 2024, at the age of 81.

# Malcolm Claiborne

Malcolm Claiborne (c. 1838–July 25, 1870), sometimes spelled Claiborn, was an elected representative in the Georgia Legislature. An African American, he along with 25 of 29 African Americans elected in Georgia in 1868 were denied seats by their white colleagues. After federal intervention, they were allowed to take office in 1870. Claiborne was shot and killed the same year in a dispute with the messenger sent by the Georgia House, Moses H. Bentley, who had been a black delegate to the Constitutional Convention, in a heated dispute over the pay of House pages.
According to the Atlanta Historical Bulletin, Claiborne was shot and killed on Marietta Street near Forsyth Street, after a heated argument where Claiborne accused Bentley of wrongly firing a Black page and replacing him with a White page. A contemporary report from 1870 stated that Claiborne was killed in the capitol building. Bentley fired three shots at Claiborne, with one striking him in the chest, while the other shots missed. The article said the dispute was reportedly due to "opprobrious remarks" made by Claiborne towards Bentley in relation to Claiborne condemning Bentley for his actions which caused the arrest of Senator Wallace.
Claiborne is believed to be buried at the Oakland Cemetery (Atlanta), although the exact location of his grave is unknown. A bronze sculpture was placed at the Georgia state capitol to honor Claiborne and the other legislators who were expelled because of their color.
# Randy Brown (musician)

Randy Brown (1952 – March 5, 2025) was an American R&B singer.

## Early life and career

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Brown started as a singer of doo-wop and in his local church. He became a solo singer after recording with Memphis group, The Newcomers, who had the R&B hit "Pin The Tail On The Donkey" in 1971, on Stax Records. In 1973, Brown left The Newcomers and recorded his first single "Did You Hear Yourself" on Stax Records. After several unsuccessful singles on a Stax subsidiary label, in 1975 he recorded "You Can Be Cured" and "Take a Few More Steps" on Mainstream Records, which he left one year later. Brown was persuaded to return to the studio by writer/producer Carl Hampton in 1978.
After receiving a call from Hampton, with whom he had been at school, Brown recorded four tracks that were given to Russ Regan at Parachute Records. One of the songs, "I'd Rather Hurt Myself," left Regan impressed and the song was then recorded. The song was well received by the public and then Brown recorded additional tracks, thus completing the album Welcome To My Room, which was released in 1978.
"I'd Rather Hurt Myself" was well known in Brazil as "The Hang glider song", because of the scenes where it was played in the background, in the soap opera Pai Herói, in 1979. Brown had another success in 1980, "We Ought To Be Doin 'It," which reached No. 16 on the R&B chart in the United States.
Hampton produced and wrote all of the material on Brown's debut album with Homer Banks, another long-time Memphis producer/musician. Brown recorded four albums for Casablanca Records' subsidiaries, Parachute and Chocolate City, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, often performing songs penned and produced by Homer Banks, now working with writer/guitarist, Chuck Brooks. At one point, Brown was also a short-term member of The Temprees.
Brown's brother was William Brown, who was a member of The Mad Lads group and also a studio recording engineer, especially at Stax Records. He produced several tracks for his brother on Truth, which were later released in 1981 on an album on the re-activated Stax Records, following the takeover by Fantasy Records.

## Personal life and death

Randy Brown lived in his hometown, Memphis and came out of retirement to perform at London’s Jazz Cafe in December 2019. On March 3, 2025, it was announced that Brown had died at the age of 72.
