  • 50Th Anniversary of the Assassination of Illinois Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton with Dr
    50th Anniversary of the Assassination of Illinois Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton with Dr. Jakobi Williams: library resources to accompany programs FROM THE BULLET TO THE BALLOT: THE ILLINOIS CHAPTER OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY AND RACIAL COALITION POLITICS IN CHICAGO. IN CHICAGO by Jakobi Williams: print and e-book copies are on order for ISU from review in Choice: Chicago has long been the proving ground for ethnic and racial political coalition building. In the 1910s-20s, the city experienced substantial black immigration but became in the process the most residentially segregated of all major US cities. During the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, long-simmering frustration and anger led many lower-class blacks to the culturally attractive, militant Black Panther Party. Thus, long before Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition, made famous in the 1980s, or Barack Obama's historic presidential campaigns more recently, the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party (ILPBB) laid much of the groundwork for nontraditional grassroots political activism. The principal architect was a charismatic, marginally educated 20-year-old named Fred Hampton, tragically and brutally murdered by the Chicago police in December 1969 as part of an FBI- backed counter-intelligence program against what it considered subversive political groups. Among other things, Williams (Kentucky) "demonstrates how the ILPBB's community organizing methods and revolutionary self-defense ideology significantly influenced Chicago's machine politics, grassroots organizing, racial coalitions, and political behavior." Williams incorporates previously sealed secret Chicago police files and numerous oral histories. Other review excerpts [Amazon]: A fascinating work that everyone interested in the Black Panther party or racism in Chicago should read.-- Journal of American History A vital historical intervention in African American history, urban and local histories, and Black Power studies.

McDowell. Goldfinger, Val, Lu, Tamminga. 2nd Row Standing (left to right): Drs. Ratner. Hamilton. Weissman. Ramox, Cutler. Dudley. Millman. Book. May 15,1999 Dear Colleagues and Guests: Welcome to the 152nd Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. This is the occasion when organized psychiatry displays its might in one of the largest educational, social and political medical gatherings in the world. The theme for 1999 is easy to remember, "The Clinician" I chose this theme because it represents the professional lives of most psychiatrists. I want to pay tribute to the attitudes, the skills and the knowledge of those who see patients day in and day out Research has given precision to our diagnoses and effectiveness to our treatments We are winning the war against anxiety and mood disorders, the psychoses, chemical dependence and the disorders resulting from structural damage to the brain. Psychotherapy and psychotropics are increasingly better targeted. We are going to dialogue about new initiatives in mental health financing. Radical reform is possible with the use of tax exemptions-vouchers, defined contributions (as opposed to the fine benefits), and consolidation of programs to enhance individual control. Our presentations here are going to show that the business community can join us in the protection of the working community. Employees are not costs but assets, the human capital is the best source of profits, and the employers should work better with physicians and not with insurance companies.
