  • Fortress of Liberty: the Rise and Fall of the Draft and the Remaking of American Law
    Fortress of Liberty: The Rise and Fall of the Draft and the Remaking of American Law Jeremy K. Kessler∗ Introduction: Civil Liberty in a Conscripted Age Between 1917 and 1973, the United States fought its wars with drafted soldiers. These conscript wars were also, however, civil libertarian wars. Waged against the “militaristic” or “totalitarian” enemies of civil liberty, each war embodied expanding notions of individual freedom in its execution. At the moment of their country’s rise to global dominance, American citizens accepted conscription as a fact of life. But they also embraced civil liberties law – the protections of freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and procedural due process – as the distinguishing feature of American society, and the ultimate justification for American military power. Fortress of Liberty tries to make sense of this puzzling synthesis of mass coercion and individual freedom that once defined American law and politics. It also argues that the collapse of that synthesis during the Cold War continues to haunt our contemporary legal order. Chapter 1: The World War I Draft Chapter One identifies the WWI draft as a civil libertarian institution – a legal and political apparatus that not only constrained but created new forms of expressive freedom. Several progressive War Department officials were also early civil libertarian innovators, and they built a system of conscientious objection that allowed for the expression of individual difference and dissent within the draft. These officials, including future Supreme Court Justices Felix Frankfurter and Harlan Fiske Stone, believed that a powerful, centralized government was essential to the creation of a civil libertarian nation – a nation shaped and strengthened by its diverse, engaged citizenry.

    National Park Service Harry S Truman U.S. Department of the Interior Harry S Truman National Historic Site Truman & Civil Rights Given his background, Harry Truman was an unlikely champion of civil rights. Where he grew up—the border state of Missouri—segregation was accepted and largely unquestioned. Both his maternal and paternal grandparents had even owned slaves. Truman’s background notwithstanding, some would say it was Truman who energized the modern civil rights movement, paving the way for future legislative successes of the 1960s. Truman’s Missouri Roots Harry Truman’s civil rights views as President Truman’s experience as an officer in World War surprised many because they seemed to contradict I and post-war business dealings with a Jewish his upbringing.

  • Clifton Truman Daniel's Visit to Oak Ridge and Y‐12, Part 2
    Clifton Truman Daniel’s visit to Oak Ridge and Y‐12, part 2 President Harry S. Truman’s grandson, Clifton Truman Daniel, after visiting Japan to attend an anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, recently visited Oak Ridge to learn the history of the place where the uranium 235 was separated for Little Boy, the world’s first atomic bomb used in warfare, and the world’s first uranium reactor to produce plutonium. He also wanted to understand the history of Oak Ridge since the Manhattan Project. It was this uranium 235 and the plutonium from Hanford, WA, that resulted in President Truman’s decision to use atomic bombs to end World War II. This momentous decision accepted as necessary to stop the horrible killing of World War II by Truman has been called the most controversial decision in history. Clifton was six years old before he realized that his “grandpa” had actually been president of the United States and was only 15 years old when former President Harry S. Truman died. Yet, he has taken an active role in the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum as honorary Chair of the Board of Directors. It is an important function that he says he is proud to fulfill. He has also written two books about his famous grandfather and now has accepted a grant to write another book that goes well beyond President Truman’s life to the study of the long‐term impact of his decision to use atomic bombs to end World War II. This project is what brought him to Oak Ridge and will take him to other Manhattan Project sites as well as other visits to Japan where he will seek survivors of the atomic bombs or their families and seek to understand their stories.

Bush executive order allowing former-presidents and their families to block the release of presidential records as — you guessed it — “unprecedented.” With all the talk of precedent, you might think executive orders historically did little more than set the White House lawn watering schedule. But the reality is that presidents have long employed executive actions to accomplish strikingly controversial objectives without congressional approval.

  • Students Aren't Just Data Points, but Numbers Do Count

Powell Editorial assistance: Gloria Ackerson and Dianna Boyce Photography: Shawn Spence Photography Design: Huffine Design Production assistance: Freedonia Studios Printing: Mossberg & Company, Inc. On the cover: Indonesia-born Kristi Dewanti attends Tallahassee Community College, where a concerted emphasis on outcomes data is boosting student success. PRESIDENT’SMESSAGE Our grantees wield ‘a powerful tool:’ data Having spent most of the last two decades as a higher education researcher and analyst, I’ve developed some appreciation for the importance and value of student-outcomes data for colleges and universities. Such information is used for a variety of purposes, from informing collaborative action planning on campus, to the actual implementation of those plans, to the assessment or benchmarking of results based on the work undertaken. Robust, reliable data are vital for institutional decision mak- ing and accountability. Compelling data can be the driving force in fostering a “culture of evidence,” leading to measur- able impacts on students and lasting campus change. Too often, casual observers might think that a data-driven institution is one that focuses mainly on the processes of collection and analysis. But at Lumina Foundation for Education, we have always considered data a power- ful tool to better meet students’ needs. From the Achieving the Dream initiative – which has done ground- breaking work to support data-driven decision making at community col- leges – to the important results that have been attained at minority-serving institutions under the Building Engagement and Attainment for Minority Stu- dents (BEAMS) project, Lumina’s investments in data-driven campus change have been gratifying.

  • Segment 13-2.Pub
    Please note: Each segment in this Webisode has its own Teaching Guide At the end of World War II, African American soldiers who had fought to end tyranny and genocide returned home to a segregated nation rift by racial injustice. President Harry S. Truman made determined efforts to advance civil rights by desegregating the armed forces and urging Congress to pass comprehensive civil rights legislation. On July 26, 1948, President Truman used his prerogative as commander in chief to issue Executive Order 9981 that established the President’s Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services. Although it took years to bring change, Truman had put the process in motion. Although the first president to address the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Truman lacked the support of a majority of Americans who rejected his civil rights platform. Undeterred, this man from a former slave state and a Confederate family background publicly and forcefully said that African Americans deserved equal rights. Teacher Directions 1. Pose the following questions to the students. • Suppose you were president of the United States. What might you do to end racial unfairness? • In what ways can a president bring about change? • What did President Harry Truman do to end racial unfairness? 2. Make sure students understand the following points in discussing the questions. Presidents bring about change by exerting their influence in getting legislation created and passed, by campaigning for change, by seeing that legislation is put into effect, and by issuing executive orders. President Truman sent proposals to Congress to stop lynching, to outlaw the poll tax that kept some people from voting, and to end segregation in the armed forces.
