ALLEN COUNTY&nbsp;–&nbsp;&nbsp;The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) arrested a former Kansas sheriff’s deputy for sex crimes following a missing persons case investigated with the Hays Police Department.

Just after 7p.m.&nbsp; Friday, KBI agents arrested Michael Tennyson, 24, of Iola, at the Allen County Sheriff’s Office, according to a media release from the KBI.

 Tennyson was arrested for aggravated indecent liberties with a child. In January, Tennyson had been newly hired as a deputy for the Allen County Sheriff’s Office. His employment was terminated Friday when the allegations became known.

On Friday, around 3:30 p.m., the Hays Police Department requested KBI assistance to help locate a 15-year-old runaway. The juvenile had been missing since March 22. Hays police officers believed the teen was with Tennyson in Iola, Kansas. The Allen County Sheriff’s Office was notified of the situation at 4 p.m.&nbsp;They quickly located the juvenile at Tennyson’s residence, and placed her into protective custody.

KBI agents gathered additional evidence in the case, and interviewed the parties involved. The Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office, the Iola Police Department, and the Ray County Missouri Sheriff’s Office also assisted in this investigation. After his arrest, Tennyson was booked into the Allen County Jail, but he will be housed at the Bourbon County Jail.

Saline County Jail Bookings, March 30

For the 2024 Lenten Season, Christ Cathedral in Salina featured 14 unique art pieces, in a variety of media, depicting Jesus' last moments.

With different styles and approaches, each artist expertly blends their personal experience and their response to reading sacred texts that tell the story of Jesus' crucifixion.

The artwork was displayed in the cathedral beginning on February 16 and concluded on Saturday, March 30, just in time for the celebration of Easter.&nbsp;

The “Way of the Cross," also called “the Stations of the Cross," is primarily a walking prayer. Each station, art piece, represents an episode in the narrative of the last moments of Christ’s life. "We walk, as Christ did, from the taking up of the cross, through the stumbling, the kindness of strangers, and their cruelty,"said MO Reverend Shay Craig Christ Cathedral.

"We walk, literally, from one moment to the next, and at each station, we pray. We walk, usually in a circle, in the case of this Cathedral, around the walls of the room.
It is an emotional journey, a humbling journey, and a cathartic journey. When we arrive at the end, we are physically feet away from where we started, but our hearts are in a whole new place."

"That curiosity is the genesis for this project; the desire to see with other people's eyes how these ancient and powerful words move them, how they interpret them, and what they see," Craig said.

 The fourteen artists offer us a glimpse of what they see in the scripture that has shaped this holiday for more than a millennium. Their pieces articulate deep emotion, soaring imagination, and beautiful theology.

"Christ Cathedral is deeply honored to be able to exhibit the work of these wonderful artists and we are grateful for the generous gift of their time and talent. I pray that you will experience the holiness of seeking to see the world through another person's eyes," Craig said.

The Stations of the Cross 2024 Christ Cathedral

"As soon as it was morning, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation: and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate. And they all condemned him and said, 'He deserves to die.' When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. Then he handed Jesus over to them to be crucified."

Artist Reflection:&nbsp;"Jesus is trapped between two centers of power that want him silenced. Pilot, the local Roman authority, sees him as a provocateur trying to inspire public demonstrations or riots. He can't afford to have rumors of unrest reach Rome.
Local Jewish leaders see him as a false prophet challenging their authority.
They fear that he is trying to redefine Jewish law and cultural identity.

&nbsp;I wanted to portray these dangers closing in on Jesus.


The solid black
squares suggest the weight of threats from every direction. The compression of these forces is inevitable. Soon Jesus will be trapped. His fate is already determined, the only way to win is to surrender. The dark turbulent background feels oppressive. It could be storm clouds or smoke or just bad karma but it's already starting to swallow up some players in this tragedy. Eventually, it will consume everyone.

"Jesus went out, bearing his cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. Like a lamb he was led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before it's shearer is mute, so he opened not his mouth. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."


Artist Reflection:
I chose the second station because of the contextual meaning that has been downplayed in so many images of the Stations of the Cross historically. In several examples, we find images that playfully appear as Act 1, Scene 2-the telling of a story,
but
avoiding real human
drama. "Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world" implies supreme sacrifice which is not carried in many of these images. There is no drama of prevailing death.

My intention for reinterpreting this&nbsp; second station is to bring focus to what must have been sheer agony. Bearing the weight of that cross had to be incredibly painful.
Christ, in human form, surely gets us as he felt the entire range of human endurance physically, emotionally, and mentally as he drug the implement of his own death.

 The drawing is in black and white, void of color, nothing pretty to be seen here. Shading is centered on the heavy cross and the painful expression on Christ's face. The loose linear structure of the drawing provides an element of intense energy that exudes from this cruel act. 

I wanted my drawing to be a meaningful component leading to the reality that "Surely this must be the Son of God."

Station Three, Jesus falls for the first time

"Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped: but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, and was born in human likeness. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore, God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name. Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, and kneel before the Lord our Maker, for he is the Lord our God."


Artist Reflection:
I selected the third station of the cross because the inspiration came to me instantly. I wanted this piece to be reverent and sacred. I began with the blue and ivory satin, a regal combination.

The gentle folds of the garment, the aureola as a circle of radiant light, and the crown of thorns are detailed with beads giving a delicacy to the piece.&nbsp; &nbsp;I quilted the wooden cross signifying the heavy burden he carried. A burgundy mat symbolizing the blood of Christ and the silver frame, the silver of a community chalice cup completes the third Station of the Cross
Creating this piece for the exhibit was an experience that touched my heart.


Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness. Mixed media has proven to be the perfect canvas for me.

Station Four, Jesus meets his afflicted mother

"To what can I liken you, what can I compare you, daughter of Jerusalem? What likeness can I use to comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For vast as the sea is your ruin.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. The Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended."


Artist Reflection:
Overwhelmed with sorrow, Mary watches from a distance, helpless to aid her beloved son, Jesus. He knew she was near and He was happy she was there to give him strength. Lord Jesus grant me the grace of a truly devoted love for Thy most Holy Mother. Help me to be grateful for those who love us.

This Station reminds me that I can, as a mother, only raise and protect my children to the best of my ability. They are "only on loan" from God.

Station Five, Jesus' Cross is laid upon Simon of Cyrene

"As they led Jesus away, they came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, who was coming in from the country and laid on him the cross to carry it behind Jesus. If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me: for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."


Artist Reflection:
When the artists chose the Station of the Cross they wanted to respond to, I waited for the last remaining station. No one wanted Station five and to be honest, it wouldn't have been my choice either. Immediately I turned to the Biblical passage in Luke 23:26.

"And as they led Jesus away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and laid on him the cross to carry behind Jesus."

 The first vision that jumped out at me was that Simon was following Jesus despite most artwork showing Jesus behind Simon. I knew I wanted to put Christ in front, 100% human but also larger than life, glowing with a gold halo depicting that He was also 100% God.


Further research revealed that Simon was just traveling home from work, neither a follower nor protester of Christ. The verse, Luke 14:27 came to mind: 

"Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." 

I would like to think through this experience that Simon became a disciple of Christ on this day.
Third, as I looked at the faceless crowd, one of the faces seemed to feel like Mary to me. I imagine Mary as an older woman, distraught with despair, reluctantly looking at her son being taken away for crucifixion.


Through my reflections on this station, full of intense and thought-provoking imagery, Station five became full of meaningful and powerful reflection for this Lenten season.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Station Six, A woman wipes the face of Jesus

"We have seen him without beauty or majesty, with no looks to attract our eyes. He was despised and rejected by men: a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised, and we esteemed him not His appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of men. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed."


Artist Reflection:
The Veil of Veronica-While there is no explicit reference to Veronica in the Gospels, her gracious act towards Jesus on the road to his crucifixion has lived on for centuries. This artistic image is a transparent copy of the same face of Jesus that is said to exist today on the true relic of Veronica's veil above the altar at the Shrine of the Holy Face in Manopello, Italy.
During the process of researching and recreating this image, a transcendent experience that I once felt as a young
woman became amplified.

 The 1984 life-changing instance happened after a period of searching for purpose. One day, as I stood in front of a mirror, I became transfixed. My mind was flooded with images at the very moment I looked into my own eyes. First, I saw Jesus on the cross from an elevated vantage point. Second, I understood the meaning of his death and resurrection. Then, I saw hundreds of people's faces - people I didn't know, yet felt deeply connected to. Simultaneously, l experienced God's love and understood that our love is His love and it is what binds all life together. 

Veronica literally means
"true image." Veils are intended to conceal and hide, yet her veil displays and reveals.

"Surely, he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth. For the transgression of my people was he stricken."


Artist Reflection:&nbsp;Before beginning, I researched the Stations of the Cross, looking at the work of other artists who have tried to depict the scene where Jesus falls again. What caught my attention was the long, arduous, painful journey Jesus was required to make.

 The humiliation his captors wished upon him was evident as He walked, sometimes dragging the cross, falling, then crawling.
Those mental images brought to my attention the role of the crowd that lined the path along his journey. What must it have been like to be a bystander? In many ways, I have become immune to Jesus' pain.

 On Sundays, I look up and see him nailed to the cross without thinking about the horrific reality of his suffering. I can only imagine the powerlessness I'd feel if&nbsp; such cruelty happened in front of me, the darkness that would enter my soul.
Witnesses could not rebel and save Jesus, but only watch... the sights, smells, and horror entering and staying forever.


Today, we are often bystanders, research shows that the greater the number of bystanders, the less likely any one of them will help the victim. This research, and the act of painting, have had a profound impact on my role as a bystander in the world of my questioning what kind of bystander | want to be?

Station Eight, Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem

&nbsp;"There followed after Jesus a great
multitude of the people, and among
them were women who bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of
Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children."


Choosing to paint some detail rather than complete abstraction, I framed the scene with gold. First, I did a quick study in acrylic. Next, I began the oil version. The gold oil paint took almost a month to set. Initially, it was disheartening to look at the proportions and realize that the figure of Jesus was grossly oversized - correcting it meant repainting the sky and ground. I avoided the work for weeks.


Eventually, "Andre the Giant" was blobbed out. 

My self-reward was to work on the women's faces, hoping to show the emotion of this dark moment.&nbsp;

&nbsp;"I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of his wrath; he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light. He has besieged me and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation; he has made me dwell in darkness like the dead of long ago. Though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.
He has made my teeth grind on gravel and made me cower in ashes. 'Remember, O Lord, my affliction and bitterness, the wormwood and the gall!'"

Artist Reflection:
 Layered mystery
 Deep commitment, resilience
 Spirit finds a way

Station Ten, Jesus is stripped of his garments

"When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull, they offered him wine to drink mingled with gall; but when he tasted it he would not drink it.
And they divided his garments among them by casting lots. This was to fulfill the scripture which says. They divided my garments among them; they cast lots for my clothing"

Artist Reflection:
 He turned to see who ...
 In my painting, Jesus turns to look at his tormenters but remains silent
He is human... vibrant body... emotions... pain... determination... questions
 Gold highlights within the paint symbolize that he is more than human.&nbsp;

"When they came to the place which is called The Skull, they crucified him; and with him, they crucified two criminals, one on the right the other on the left, and Jesus between them. And the scripture was fulfilled which says, 'He was numbered with the transgressors.'"

Artist Reflection:
There are times when an invitation pushes an artist's studio practice in an unexpected direction - one that would not have happened otherwise. This Lenten project has been that for me. / knew from the beginning that my Station eleven assignment would not be a literal interpretation.

As I reread the biblical texts that describe the crucifixion of Christ, I was aware of the specific presence of the natural world during the horrors of that day. Those who recorded the events were compelled to include earthquakes, rock slides, the thick temple veil torn, and an ominous darkness as omens not to be missed or dismissed. An unpredictable mystical presence settled
"over the whole land." 

My contribution to the Lenten Project, In The Darkness Of The Day, imagines with form and color the darkness of the created world during those hours between noon and three. I have painted with Alizarin Crimson mixed with the blues - Phthalo, Ultramarine, Prussian
- to make purples. But no black. The darkness comes from color.


I am grateful for the opportunity to join centuries of artists, poets, playwrights, and musicians who have given their creative spirits to the depiction of the crucifixion.&nbsp;

"When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold your mother!' And when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, 'It is finished!" And then, crying out in a loud voice, he said, 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.' And he bowed his head, and handed over his spirit."


Artist Reflection:
My watercolor is of the crucifix in Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary Church in Minneapolis, Kansas. If you stop and truly look at a crucifix, you will find yourself immersed in the profound significance of that moment - Christ's sacrifice encapsulates the very essence of Christianity.


The image of Christ, suspended on the cross, serves as a visual reminder of the depth of God's love for us-that even in the face of unimaginable suffering, Jesus remained steadfast in his commitment to save us.

Through his death on the cross, Jesus offers us the opportunity to find solace, forgiveness, and eternal life. So, the next time you encounter a crucifix, take a moment to truly look at it and allow its profound message to penetrate your soul. Let it inspire you to embrace the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and to live a life rooted in faith, compassion, and gratitude.

Station 13,&nbsp;The body of Jesus is laid on his mother 

 "All you who pass by, behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow. My eyes are spent with weeping; my soul is in tumult; my heart is poured out in grief because of the downfall of my people. 'Do not call me Naomi (which means Pleasant,) call me Mara (which means Bitter;) for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.' "


Artist Reflection:
I selected the thirteenth station because it is the scenario from the crucifixion narrative that I most easily feel based on my human experience as a mother.

When viewing the iconography and art surrounding the Crucifixion, I am often struck by its dramatic and terrible beauty. Yet what I'm drawn to imagine is the underside of those baroque surfaces with their burnished patina and turgid emotion. 

Regarding this Station, neither the cross nor the bodies of Christ and his mother came to the fore when l envisioned portraying the moment. Instead, it was the heavy lifting, the
'machinery' of hands, the twisted cascade of the body's wrapping, the receiving hands of Mary. 

All characters are caught in the stunned blessing of a moment so filled with pain, darkness, awe, grief, fear, and sorrow that human imagery feels doomed to fail. I could imagine the topsy-turvy reaction of witnesses, the stigmata-like pain in the palms of those who lowered the body, and the impending weight in the hands of the mother even before she received the body. 

This scene evokes the heaviness at the heart of our mortal condition. The spirit of the body they lifted and lowered was no more in the world, having escaped all mortal chains.

"When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it be given to him. And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb." 

the penetrating stillness and darkness of death
 the cold and permanence of stone winter awaits spring
 nature's rebirth and the creed of resurrection imminent
 the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it

'Artists Way of the Cross' — Christ Cathedral observes Lent, Holy Week with local art

Salina Post proudly presents Flashback Friday in partnership with the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.smokyhillmuseum.org/">Smoky Hill Museum</a>. Enjoy a weekly tidbit of local history from the staff at Salina Post and the Smoky Hill Museum as we present "Salina-Flashback Fridays."

In a small community near Mulberry Creek, just north of Interstate 70, dusty roads connect under a dozen modest rural homes in Glendale Township.

Before the small community established itself in 1915, French explorer Etienne Veniard de Bourgmont visited the region in 1724 to develop new relations with Native American Nations.

According to the Smoky Hill Museum, Bourgmont brought his allies from the Missouri, Otoe, Iowa, Kaw and Osage Nations to meet with trade representatives from the Comanche Nation just two miles east of what became Glendale.

Within the historic Comanche Territory, Bourgmont successfully negotiated agreeable trade relations with the Native Nations,&nbsp;

Undocumented history continued in the Glendale area throughout the next few centuries until the early 1900s, when the Salina Northern Railroad came to the budding community.

The Salina Northern Railroad initially scouted Mulberry, a nearby community that already had a post office and general store.&nbsp;

Mulberry community members decided that the town lacked true growth potential, and citizens formed a "town founding committee" with Henry House as its president.

House and the founding committee established Glendale across the road from Mulberry, and the Salina Northern Railroad brought its line to the small community.

According to the Smoky Hill Museum, Glendale experienced a "growth spurt early in its history." One year after its founding, the Glendale State Bank opened for business on Main Street in 1916, quickly followed by a Lutheran Church and Township Hall in 1917.

Citizens continued opening businesses throughout the late 1910s, including a mercantile and grain elevator. In 1922, the town funded and constructed a $13,000 school with five teachers. Adjusted for inflation, the school cost just under $240,000.

Like similar <a href="https://salinapost.com/posts/6a550354-6897-43ad-9ea4-e99803bd1d61">small, growing communities in Saline County</a>, the 1920s and 1930s Great Depression and Dust Bowl decimated the community, driving many citizens away from the financial stress of low crop yields and farm prices.

By the mid-1930s, the town reported a population of 33 residents.

Glendale Township continues today in its scenic portion of Saline County, with a few residents continuing the quiet history of the community.

One year after its founding, the Glendale State Bank opened for business on Main Street in 1916, quickly followed by a Lutheran Church and Township Hall in 1917.Citizens continued opening businesses throughout the late 1910s, including a mercantile and grain elevator. In 1922, the town funded and constructed a $13,000 school with five teachers. Adjusted for inflation, the school cost just under $240,000.<figure>

Recognizing the severity of the situation, the deputy called for assistance, prompting a response from additional Wichita Police Officers and Sedgwick County EMS. EMS personnel provided triage at the scene and transported the boy to a nearby hospital with injuries deemed non-life-threatening.

A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a loaded firearm under the front driver's seat, where the driver, identified as&nbsp; Horner was seated. 

Police took Horner to police headquarters for further questioning. Detectives from the Exploited and Missing Child Unit (EMCU) were dispatched to interview the boy at the hospital.

Elizabeth Martha “Betsy” (Miller) Blackmar, 80, of Baldwin City, KS passed away at home on Saturday, March 23, 2024.

She was born July 9, 1943 in Meadville, PA, the daughter of Hugh and Maria (Werner) Miller. She grew up in Meadville and graduated from Meadville High School with the class of 1961.

Elizabeth "Betsy" M. (Miller) Blackmar

BY:&nbsp;<a href="https://missouriindependent.com/author/ariana-figueroa/">ARIANA FIGUEROA</a>&nbsp;

WASHINGTON — U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Thursday that two articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be sent to the U.S. Senate in early April when senators return from recess.

“We call upon you to fulfill your constitutional obligation to hold this trial,” Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, wrote in a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.speaker.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Schumer-Letter-from-Impeachment-Managers.pdf">letter</a>&nbsp;to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat.

“The American people demand a secure border, an end to this crisis, and accountability for those responsible,” said Johnson. “To table articles of impeachment without ever hearing a single argument or reviewing a piece of evidence would be a violation of our constitutional order and an affront to the American people whom we all serve.”

With Democrats holding a slim majority in the Senate, it’s unlikely Mayorkas will be removed from office. But the push for a trial is a mark of House Republicans’ escalation of their opposition to the White House’s immigration policy. The topic has also taken center stage in the 2024 presidential campaigns.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/what-happens-next-impeachment-homeland-security-secretary-mayorkas">The process for a trial</a>&nbsp;in the Senate will kick-start when the House impeachment managers walk over the two articles of impeachment to the upper chamber on April 10.

“As we have said previously, after the House impeachment managers present the articles of impeachment to the Senate, Senators will be sworn in as jurors in the trial the next day,” Schumer’s office said in a statement.

Senate President Pro Tempore Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington state Democrat, will preside, Schumer’s office said.

According to the rules currently on the books, the Senate must act in some way when the articles of impeachment are presented.

For example, senators can follow the already established rules, vote to make new rules or even take a procedural step to dispose of the impeachment resolution.

The House impeachment managers are Republican Reps. Mark Green of Tennessee, Michael McCaul of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ben Cline of Virginia, Andrew Garbarino of New York, Michael Guest of Mississippi, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, Laurel Lee of Florida, August Pfluger of Texas and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

The White House has in the past condemned House Republicans’ efforts to impeach Mayorkas, calling it “shameless,” and an “unconstitutional stunt.”

“This political and unconstitutional exercise is also drawing broad condemnation by conservatives in the U.S. Senate, where the impeachment will now be sent and where Republican senators have sharply dismissed it as baseless and a waste of time,” the White House said in mid-February.

House Republicans, who hold a slim majority,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://northdakotamonitor.com/2024/02/13/u-s-house-republicans-impeach-homeland-security-chief-mayorkas-on-second-try/">impeached Mayorkas on their second try</a>, on the grounds that Mayorkas willfully ignored immigration law and lied to Congress about the status of border security.

Following Mayorkas’ impeachment on Feb. 13, Schumer called the efforts a “sham.”

“House Republicans failed to present any evidence of anything resembling an impeachable offense,” Schumer said on the Senate floor on Feb. 13.

Saline County Jail Bookings, March 29

LOS ANGELES (AP) —&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/movies-arts-and-entertainment-52a0c3410b8e40f1983b1ee3198fb761">Louis Gossett Jr.,</a>&nbsp;the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar and an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/2a591506822546aea66f4e9b7de3ef52">TV miniseries “Roots,”</a>&nbsp;has died. He was 87.

Gossett's first cousin Neal L. Gossett told The Associated Press that the actor died Thursday night in Santa Monica, California. No cause of death was revealed.

Gossett’s cousin remembered a man who walked with&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/nelson-mandela">Nelson Mandela</a>&nbsp;and who also was a great joke teller, a relative who faced and fought racism with dignity and humor.

“Never mind the awards, never mind the glitz and glamor, the Rolls-Royces and the big houses in Malibu. It’s about the humanity of the people that he stood for,” his cousin said.

Louis Gossett always thought of his early career as a reverse Cinderella story, with success finding him from an early age and propelling him forward, toward his&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/academy-awards">Academy Award</a>&nbsp;for “An Officer and a Gentleman.”

He earned his first acting credit in his Brooklyn high school’s production of “You Can’t Take It with You” while he was sidelined from the basketball team with an injury.

“I was hooked — and so was my audience,” he wrote in his 2010 memoir “An Actor and a Gentleman.”

His English teacher urged him to go into Manhattan to try out for “Take a Giant Step.” He got the part and made his Broadway debut in 1953 at age 16.

“I knew too little to be nervous,” Gossett wrote. “In retrospect, I should have been scared to death as I walked onto that stage, but I wasn’t.”

Gossett attended New York University on a basketball and drama scholarship. He was soon acting and singing on TV shows hosted by David Susskind, Ed Sullivan, Red Buttons, Merv Griffin, Jack Paar and Steve Allen.

Gossett became friendly with James Dean and studied acting with Marilyn Monroe, Martin Landau and Steve McQueen at an offshoot of the Actors Studio taught by Frank Silvera.

In 1959, Gossett received critical acclaim for his role in the Broadway production of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/sidney-poitier-bill-cosby-entertainment-movies-race-and-ethnicity-021dd55f8f818603514dc00d7421f875">“A Raisin in the Sun”</a>&nbsp;along with&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/sidney-poitier-dead-214e66b7e52909bdc64465e9ff4a1339">Sidney Poitier,</a><a href="https://apnews.com/movies-general-news-domestic-news-domestic-news-dbee7820e34b414db490c7843843904f">Ruby Dee</a>&nbsp;and Diana Sands.

He went on to become a star on Broadway, replacing Billy Daniels in “Golden Boy” with Sammy Davis Jr. in 1964.

Gossett went to Hollywood for the first time in 1961 to make the film version of “A Raisin in the Sun.” He had bitter memories of that trip, staying in a cockroach-infested motel that was one of the few places to allow Black people.

In 1968, he returned to Hollywood for a major role in “Companions in Nightmare,” NBC’s first made-for-TV movie that starred Melvyn Douglas, Anne Baxter and Patrick O’Neal.

This time, Gossett was booked into the Beverly Hills Hotel and Universal Studios had rented him a convertible. Driving back to the hotel after picking up the car, he was stopped by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s officer who ordered him to turn down the radio and put up the car’s roof before letting him go.

Within minutes, he was stopped by eight sheriff’s officers, who had him lean against the car and made him open the trunk while they called the car rental agency before letting him go.

“Though I understood that I had no choice but to put up with this abuse, it was a terrible way to be treated, a humiliating way to feel,” Gossett wrote in his memoir. “I realized this was happening because I was Black and had been showing off with a fancy car — which, in their view, I had no right to be driving.”

After dinner at the hotel, he went for a walk and was stopped a block away by a police officer, who told him he broke a law prohibiting walking around residential Beverly Hills after 9 p.m. Two other officers arrived and Gossett said he was chained to a tree and handcuffed for three hours. He was eventually freed when the original police car returned.

"Now I had come face-to-face with racism, and it was an ugly sight,” he wrote. “But it was not going to destroy me.”

In the late 1990s, Gossett said he was pulled over by police on the Pacific Coast Highway while driving his restored 1986 Rolls Royce Corniche II. The officer told him he looked like someone they were searching for, but the officer recognized Gossett and left.

He founded the Eracism Foundation to help create a world where racism doesn’t exist.

Gossett made a series of guest appearances on such shows as “Bonanza,” “The Rockford Files,” “The Mod Squad,” “McCloud” and a memorable turn with&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/richard-pryor">Richard Pryor</a>&nbsp;on “The Partridge Family.”

In August 1969, Gossett had been partying with members of the Mamas and the Papas when they were invited to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/us-news-charles-manson-movies-ca-state-wire-celebrities-0b0dc1522c4343448685269dd1a5f91a">actor Sharon Tate’s house.</a>&nbsp;He headed home first to shower and change clothes. As he was getting ready to leave, he caught a news flash on TV about Tate’s murder. She and others were killed by&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/manson-van-houten-ap-was-there-1971-convictions-6637ef9365bfcd017f4cad50af70fe61">Charles Manson’s associates</a>&nbsp;that night.

“There had to be a reason for my escaping this bullet,” he wrote.

Louis Cameron Gossett was born on May 27, 1936, in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York, to Louis Sr., a porter, and Hellen, a nurse. He later added Jr. to his name to honor his father.

Gossett broke through on the small screen as Fiddler in the groundbreaking 1977 miniseries “Roots,” which&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/movies-arts-and-entertainment-cd100d1097c24619a1d4983ebcc38b2d">depicted the atrocities of slavery</a>&nbsp;on TV. The sprawling cast included Ben Vereen, LeVar Burton and John Amos.

Gossett became the third Black Oscar nominee in the supporting actor category in 1983. He won for his performance as the intimidating Marine drill instructor in “An Officer and a Gentleman” opposite Richard Gere and Debra Winger. He also won a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/golden-globe-awards">Golden Globe</a>&nbsp;for the same role.

“More than anything, it was a huge affirmation of my position as a Black actor,” he wrote in his memoir.

“The Oscar gave me the ability of being able to choose good parts in movies like ‘Enemy Mine,’ ‘Sadat’ and ‘Iron Eagle,’” Gossett said in Dave Karger's 2024 book “50 Oscar Nights.”

“I’m going to donate it to a library so I don’t have to keep an eye on it,” he said in the book. “I need to be free of it.”

Gossett appeared in such TV movies as “The Story of Satchel Paige,” “Backstairs at the White House, “The Josephine Baker Story,” for which he won another Golden Globe, and “Roots Revisited.”

But he said winning an Oscar didn’t change the fact that all his roles were supporting ones.

He played an obstinate patriarch in the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/color-purple-movie-review-8845576ca18a1b33cfc20dc25788d0ca">2023 remake of “The Color Purple.”</a>

Gossett struggled with alcohol and cocaine addiction for years after his Oscar win. He went to rehab, where he was diagnosed with toxic mold syndrome, which he attributed to his house in Malibu.

In 2010, Gossett announced he had prostate cancer, which he said was caught in the early stages. In 2020, he was hospitalized with COVID-19.

He also is survived by sons Satie, a producer-director from his second marriage, and Sharron, a chef whom he adopted after seeing the 7-year-old in a TV segment on children in desperate situations. His first cousin is&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/daytime-emmy-awards-7e9fc824fe6965b9ffdcf0acb807f4ef">actor Robert Gossett.</a>

Gossett’s first marriage to Hattie Glascoe was annulled. His second, to Christina Mangosing, ended in divorce in 1975 as did his third to actor Cyndi James-Reese in 1992.

No cause of death was revealed.Gossett’s cousin remembered a man who walked with&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/nelson-mandela">Nelson Mandela</a>&nbsp;and who also was a great joke teller, a relative who faced and fought racism with dignity and humor.“Never mind the awards, never mind the glitz and glamor, the Rolls-Royces and the big houses in Malibu. It’s about the humanity of the people that he stood for,” his cousin said.Louis Gossett always thought of his early career as a reverse Cinderella story, with success finding him from an early age and propelling him forward, toward his&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/academy-awards">Academy Award</a>&nbsp;for “An Officer and a Gentleman.”He earned his first acting credit in his Brooklyn high school’s production of “You Can’t Take It with You” while he was sidelined from the basketball team with an injury.“I was hooked — and so was my audience,” he wrote in his 2010 memoir “An Actor and a Gentleman.”His English teacher urged him to go into Manhattan to try out for “Take a Giant Step.” He got the part and made his Broadway debut in 1953 at age 16.“I knew too little to be nervous,” Gossett wrote. “In retrospect, I should have been scared to death as I walked onto that stage, but I wasn’t.”Gossett attended New York University on a basketball and drama scholarship.

Driving back to the hotel after picking up the car, he was stopped by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s officer who ordered him to turn down the radio and put up the car’s roof before letting him go.Within minutes, he was stopped by eight sheriff’s officers, who had him lean against the car and made him open the trunk while they called the car rental agency before letting him go.“Though I understood that I had no choice but to put up with this abuse, it was a terrible way to be treated, a humiliating way to feel,” Gossett wrote in his memoir. “I realized this was happening because I was Black and had been showing off with a fancy car — which, in their view, I had no right to be driving.”After dinner at the hotel, he went for a walk and was stopped a block away by a police officer, who told him he broke a law prohibiting walking around residential Beverly Hills after 9 p.m. Two other officers arrived and Gossett said he was chained to a tree and handcuffed for three hours.
