The 2000 Annual Meeting in St. Louis:
A Historical Account

1. How are the numbers for preregistration looking and what is the mood of the membership?
2. I have a reservation at Adam's Mark. What do I do?
3. How can I locate the specific room in which a session or event will take place?
4. Once I arrive in St. Louis, where do I register or pick up my preregistration materials (i.e., badge and Pocket Program)?
5. What is being done to facilitate travel between the downtown hotels, offsite sessions, and Saint Louis University?
6. I plan to drive. Where should I park?
7. What is the OAH doing to ensure that the disabled have access to the 2000 meeting?
8. Why are we meeting at Saint Louis University (SLU)? I understand some of the meeting rooms have crucifixes on the wall.
9. I am a member who fears for my safety in a large city. Isn't the OAH threatening the security of its members by having the meeting outside of a safe hotel?

1. Aren't we politicizing the organization by taking this stand (i.e., moving the meeting out of the Adam's Mark Hotel because of charges of racial discrimination against it)?
2. How could this have happened? Why didn't the OAH find out about the reputation of the Adam's Mark chain before January of this year?
3. Where does this stop? What limits do we put on the search process for annual meeting sites?
4. I have a reservation at Adam's Mark. What do I do?
5. Aren't the charges against Adam's Mark unproven allegations at this point?
6. Has the Adam's Mark settled with the Justice Department?
7. How can I reach the HBE Corporation, parent company of the Adam's Mark Hotels, and its owner, Fred Kummer, Jr.?
8. What is the N.A.A.C.P.'s position on the Adam's Mark?
