CATION POSITION OR POLICY 25 Years of Volunteers in Partnership V . = =f; THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 10, 1,972 Dear Harold: As the President's Committeeon Employment of the Handicapped looks backon twenty-five years of vital service to America, millions ofgrateful citizensac- knowledge its unique contributionto the progress of our society and the well-being ofour people. In these two and a half decadesits members have risen above politics, engagedCongressional support on both sides of the aisles, held the activeinvolve- ment of five Presidents and marshaledan impressive and selfless volunteer commitmentto engineering a revolution in this country'sattitudes toward the handi- capped. At this time it ismore than fitting that we pay tribute to the leaders of this important effortand to those who have worked with them to providetrue equality of op- portunity for our disabled fellowcitizens. In the years ahead America will needmore than ever the talents of all her people ifwe are to meet the chal- lenges that we face and achieve thegoals that we share. I know that the Committee willcontinue to encourage disabled Americansein theuse of their talents and that, by working together, wecan both increase their chances for self-fulfillment and, inso doing, insure our national progress. Sincerely, Honorable Harold Russell Chairman, Presi'lent's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped Washington, D. C. 20210 Introduction Along with all the other satisfactions I findin serving this Committee and itsthousands of co-workers across the land, Inow have the special pleasure of invitingyou to join in this celebration of the 25th Anniversary ofThe President's Committeeon Employment of the Handicapped. If chronological age is the importantmeasure, The President's Committeeon Employ- ment of the Handicapped, at 25, is stilla youth movement. If experience gained is the criterion, theCommittee has matured. In many ways, this movement, thisoutpouring of volunteer effort for theNation's handicapped people, is both. The vigorof, youth, the search for productivechange, the impatience with the status quotheseare the marks of a young mentality ina changing society. Mixed with these qualities in thebroad program for the handicappedis a strong element of critical realism, of insistingthat this nationwide effort be increasinglyrelated to the practical world that handicappedpeople face in their daily lives. This changing sense of mission becomesapparent in this brochure. Asan abbreviated history of the President's Committee, it gives a glimpse into the evolvingconcepts and the broadening of activities which underlie allour present-day effortsthe aim of openingem- ployment as a means of openingup new and better family and community lifefor the handicapped. A brochure like this could be written about nearly every one of the Governor'sCommit- tees and local committees. The story of thePresident's Committee isa national storynot so much because the President's Committee is inWashington but because the story embraces the work of state and local committees,industry, labor, the professions, publicand private agencies. It is a national story because, through the President's Committee, thesethousands of volunteers have decided tocome together in a unified and persistent campaignto fashion better lives for the handicapped youth,men and women of the country. In writing this story, Russell J. N. Dean has doneus all a great service and we are grateful to him. This brochure is a reminder, tome, of all the creative, determined people who preceded me in this magnificent work. It is a reminder ofmy two predecessors and great friends, Ross McIntire and Mel Maas, who showedus the way. It is a reminder to all of us that, against this background of 25years of devoted effort by so many peopleacross the land, we who carry today's responsibilities have accepteda major task which will test us in manyways. I express my deep gratitude to eachof youto those who helped makethese past 25 years memorable ones and to those who have accepteda role in this work today and for the future. I ask you to joinme in the satisfaction of knowing that our Nation isa better place. because of this vast cooperative enterprise. Harold Russell Chairman The Beginningof the Partnership Foreign visitors to the United States often find it difficultto believe that in "the richest country in the world" a lot of thingsget done with little orno money. They frequently are surprised to learn that volunteerismin the United States isnot a playground for the rich butan outlet for the warm human instincts woman. of the average man and If they come to Washington, D.C., in the spring when thePresident's Committee Employment of the Handicapped on is holding its annual meeting,they are astonished tosee some 4,000 people assembling who have taken their own time, atno expense to the Presi- dent's Committee, to seek betterways of restoring and employing handicapped What they see, in the form persons. of a meeting, is just the "topof the iceberg," formore thousands of volunteers, working throughGovernors' Committees and Mayors' labor in hundreds of communities Committees, across the country to help build better lives forthose who must live with a serious physicalor mental handicap. When the visitors ask how- to go about creating thesame sort of volunteer army for their own handicapped people, it is difficult to convey the factsthat thePresident's Committee and its 'many cooperatinggroups are not the product of United States management genius, or of its organizational and computers or- its long-range social planningthatthe Commit- tee did not, in fact, have itsorigins in a plan to establisha committee. In the background of theCommittee's formationwere two factors which converged to make such a committee valuable and possible. Onewas the tremendous national effortto make every possible provisionfor the returning veterans of World those who came back War II and particularly disabled from the woundsof war. The other was thefact that new concepts and methods for rehabilitating and employing the handicappedhad been forming for several decades. With the widely successfulrehabilitation work of the Armed during the war, these ideas and Forces programs leapt forward in the postwaryears. In the closing weeks of World War II, House Joint Resolution23 of the 79th Congress, introduced by Representative Jerry Voorhis of California andsponsored in the Senate by Senator Harley M. Kilgore of West Virginia, called foran annual observance of National Employ the PhysicallyHandicapped Week. On the last day of the Congressional session the Resolution,already passed by the House, awaited Senate action. Paul A. Strachan, then President of the American Federationof the Physically Handi- capped, who had spearheaded the movement for Congressionalapproval, described the situation. "We knew that theSenate intended adjournmentat about 5:30 or 6:00 were fearful that our measure would p.m. and get lost in the shuffle. Ifso, we would have the same dreary business of having it reintroduced; action by bothHouse and Senate. We had already spent more than 5 years of hard workon it . .. So our anxiety was keen." Paul Strachan and his associates were not disappointed. Theresolution passed unani- mously. On August 11, 1945,it was approved by President 176. Truman and became Public Law For many years Mr. Strachanhad been a familiar figure with half a dozen other on Capitol Hill. Totally deaf and ailments that had kept himhospitalized for more than 7 knew the problems of the years, he physically handicapped and madeit his life's work to assist them. One means of assistance was introducing and pressing for the adoptionof constructive legislation in their behalf. 1 ft Among his chief associates in the legislative battle for the Week were Mildred Scott, secretary of the American Federation of the Physically Handicapped, and Millard Rice, a former National Commander of the Disabled American Veterans. They were among the chief witnesses during House and Senate hearings on the resolution. They talked to members concerning its passage., When it became law, they continued their advocacy. When the President's Committee on NEPH Week was organized in 1947, Paul Strachan was named Assistant to the Chairman.- "Milly" Scott was named Secretary of the Planning Committee

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.
