Talk:Bernice Fisher

message: Much of this article appears to be written by her nephew Frank Fisher, who cites as some sources "personal knowledge," which is outside of Wikipedia guidelines that require information to be from secondary sources. I have deleted many of those references (although for now I have left in the family tree, which Mr. Fisher can surely qualify with published obituaries). One passage I found historically troubling is that of one Shelia Michaels crediting Fisher with starting CORE. On the sites from CORE, Jim Farmer and George Houser, I have included the following note:
There is much discussion by Farmer and Houser on the founding of CORE in several issues of Fellowship magazine of the Fellowship of Reconciliation in 1992 (Spring, Summer and Winter issues) and a conference that year on CORE and the origins of the Civil Rights Movement at Bluffton College in Bluffton, Ohio, attended by both Houser and Farmer. Academics and the participants themselves agreed the founders of CORE were Jim Farmer, George Houser and Berniece Fisher. The conference has been preserved on videotape.
and I will add it to Fisher's site as well. Michaels, while perhaps an academic, should not be taken as equal an authority of Houser and Farmer themselves.

thread_title: Personal Knowledge

message: James Farmer, himself, credits more than three people for founding CORE. He discusses the orgins of CORE in his book, Lay Bare The Heart. Although Farmer, Fisher and Houser were likely the primary movers, there are other sources as well that credit more than three people for the founding of CORE. And although it may not be a Wikipedia source I recall Bernice mentioning there were six founders and including Jimmy Robinson and Homer Jack as CORE founders.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fisher, Frank (talk • contribs) 14:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bernice Fisher 

message: There are sound indicators that there were more than three founders
of CORE although there may be some debate about what the criteria for
being a founder are.  James Farmer in Fellowship magazine April-May 1992
said he started CORE but acknowledged two "parentages."
In the July-August 1992 Fellowship magazine Homer Jack and George Houser
responded. There is more information about the beginnings of CORE in the
Oral Histories of James Robinson and George Houser. See the references
on the Bernice Fisher page. Fisher, Frank

thread_title:  Update 

message: There is small piece that a professor in Montreal brought to my attention about this comment on Wikipedia.
<I>James Farmer, in his book Lay Bare The Heart, discusses CORE IS BORN (Chapter 10) and he also mentions Bob "Chino" (the Hispanic nickname for a Chinese man, by which he was widely known), and Hugo Victoreen as well as George Houser, Bernice Fisher, Jimmy Robinson, Joe Guinn, Homer Jack and himself as participants in the meeting when the organization CORE was formed. Bernice became secretary and Jimmy became treasurer. </I>
My grand father was Robert A. Chino born in Chicago, IL. He was a White/Japanese descendant engaged in many causes. 
In LAY BARE THE HEART, James Farmer actually gives "Bob Chino," whom he
characterizes as a "University of Chicago student who was half-Chinese and
half-Caucasian," the credit for coming up with the name CORE, as representing
the center of action.
Here is the Farmer book comment:

Could it be the same person ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theochino (talk • contribs) 16:27, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question about a reference of Bob Chino =

message: Robert Asahi Chino invented the acronym CORE (Lay Bare the Heart, by James Farmer, TCU Press, 1998, p.105) in April 1942. Born in February 1919 from a Japanese father and a white American mother, Robert A. Chino went to Hyde Park high school, Chicago, IL. From 1937 to 1942, he became a socialist and a pacifist activist. In 1942, he considered himself a conscientious objector and got convicted in May 1942 of draft evasion. Confined in the Sandstone penitentiary, MN, he was given in 1943 the oportunity to serve in the army. He decided to join the 442nd RCT. He was awarded the Purple Heart (1945), the Silver Star (1946), the Bronze Star (1948). He died in December 1987.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hadrien A.
