  • Black in Buffalo
    Black in Buffalo Black in Buffalo The incomplete victory of a people moving forward yet losing ground BY HENRY LOUIS TAYLOR JR. http://wings.buffalo.edu/academic/department/apas/html/taylor-buffalo-2-25-96.html (1 of 8) [6/4/2008 9:36:58 AM] Black in Buffalo Buffalo is rushing toward the millennium. As we approach the year 2000 - speaking from the eyes of a black historian - I can see undeniable progress in Black Buffalo. That progress has come quickly, at least in the historical sense. In 1940 there were still only 18,000 African- Americans in Buffalo, just 3 percent of the population. Fifty years later, that number has exploded to more than 100,000 - 31 percent of the population. The clear and considerable progress since mid-century is the springboard on which today's achievements are built. In 1996, blacks are finding jobs and opportunities that their forbearers in 1900 would have never dreamed possible. Over the years, a small but highly talented and influential black middle class has emerged. This nascent group is composed of religious leaders, elected officials, university professors and administrators, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, school administrators, principals and teachers, nurses, firefighters, police and skilled factory workers. Yet when I travel through Buffalo's East Side and its Lower West Side, I am reminded of the words of the Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the southern Christian Leadership Conference, on the 25th anniversary of the March on Washington -- "It seems that everything has changed, and nothing has changed." For Black Buffalo, it appears, the old proverb applies: The harder we run, the farther we fall behind.

COUGHLIN AND THE UNION PARTY BY FOUR METROPOLITAN DAILY NEWSPAPERS DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN OF 1936: A STUDY by Charles C. Ragains This study is the result of the writer's inter- est in the Reverend Father Charles E. Coughlin, a Roman Catholic priest who was pastor of a parish in Royal Oak, Michigan, and whose oratory attracted national attention and considerable controversy; in the political and social ferment in the United States during the 1930's; and in the American press. The questions that motivated the study were: How did the nation's newspapers react to Coughlin, who is regarded as one of the foremost dema- gogues in American history, at the height of his career? Did the press significantly affect the priest's influence and power one way or the other? How did newspapers in- terpret Coughlin and his actions to their readers? Because of the length of Coughlin's public career (nearly sixteen years) it has been necessary to select a salient event or period on which to concentrate. Charles C. Ragains The period selected is the presidential election campaign of 1936. This span of approximately five and one-half months was chosen for several reasons.
