DEWEY AND EARL WARREN: THm RISE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY URBAN PROSECUTOR LAWRENCE FLEISCHER* INTRODUCTION The study of the American urban prosecutor, a key political-legal officer who carries the immense power of "prosecutorial discretion," has yet to attract serious historical research. A review of the published literature suggests the first crucial period of development occurred during the Jacksonian period when the office broke free of its traditional administrative role as the adjunct of the court. During this period the local urban prosecutor became an elected official.1 This unmoored the office from the anchor of the judiciary and set it sailing into the realm of politics. Essential- ly, this set the standard throughout the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth centuries of an office beholden to the electorate in the most intimate political sense, and established the office as the keystone of the criminal justice system.

Previous studies of founder Mary McLeod Bethune’s internationalism has highlighted her prominent role in this arena primarily through the United Nations, as well as the ways NCNW carried this legacy through their efforts to build relationships with women across the diaspora. But beyond highlighting their activism and the connections they made, the substance and meaning of these relationships as the Cold War and African independence introduced new political terrain has been underexplored. Africa’s prominence on the world stage by the late 1950s reinvigorated the need for Black diaspora activists to strengthen their relationships on the continent. Toward this end, NCNW leaders such Dorothy Ferebee, Vivian Mason, Dorothy Height forged connections with their counterparts across the Atlantic. African women such as Ghana’s Mabel Dove and Evelyn ii Amarteifio, Tanzania’s Lucy Lameck, among numerous others played critical roles within their respective independence movements.

Alexander and her peers' professional lives were hemmed in by race- and gender-based structuralfeatures of the bar, as the received interpretationsof the period would predict, but those professional lives were also shaped by an under-theorized social milieu of race and classformation, gender role contes- tation, lawyer-client conflict, and day-to-day professional relationships.

Hagan 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This thesis aims to discover how the American Cosa Nostra transformed in the early 20th century. The goal of this project is to show how the American mafia’s interactions with the US government evolved the mafia from a group of discriminated immigrants into consummate insiders who adapted to the American historical landscape. To explore this transformation and evolving relationship, this thesis analyzed numerous sources from US government archives and personal testimonies of American Cosa Nostra members. The American Cosa Nostra operated as a shadowy, yet powerful organization throughout much of the 20th century. During this time, the American mafia influenced politics, economics, and society through their broad and profitable activities.

  • Law and Its Call to African American Women, 1872-1932
    “Fearing I Shall Not Do My Duty to My Race If I Remain Silent”: Law and Its Call to African American Women, 1872-1932 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Cecily Barker McDaniel, M.A. The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Stephanie J. Shaw, Co-Advisor _____________________________ Co-Advisor Professor Susan M. Hartmann, Co-Advisor _____________________________ Professor, Lucy E. Murphy Co-Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the public and private lives of the first generation of African American female lawyers. It focuses on fourteen African American female lawyers who completed law school between 1872 and 1932. Their history is unique in the sense that most women who entered into the professions did so in feminized fields. Social workers, nurses, and teachers were seen as natural extensions of the role of women. Even the male dominated profession of medicine was more open than law to women who could emphasize their traditional roles as healers and caretakers. Entering into the legal field, however, defied that norm. In an era of sexual separatism, nineteenth century women entered the field of law through male-dominated institutions, thereby integrating the profession from the outset in the late 1860s and 1870s. This study of women lawyers reveals that the model of immediate integration, which coexisted with the paradigm of separatism to integration, is also a part of the broad history of women’s entry into the public sphere. This study begins in 1872 and ends in 1932 with the emergence of a community of black female attorneys.
