Provenance Gift of the David Goldstein estate, 1958. Custodial History These papers were left to Boston College by David Goldstein as a bequest in his will. The collection was stored in a commercial warehouse before being transferred to Boston College Libraries in November 1976, which may account for the poor condition of some materials, such as scrapbooks and newspaper clippings. Processing Information This collection has been arranged in order received where possible, and where order existed. The titles of Goldstein's subject files reflect his original folder titles and organization. A small number of textiles and personal items such as a comb, mittens, and a single spat were deaccessioned due to poor condition. Three limited runs of newspapers -- Christian Socialist (1911-1912); Common Sense (1950, 1954-1955); and National Civic Federation Review (1906-1909) -- were also deaccessioned due to poor condition and availability on microfilm.

David Goldstein and Martha Moore Avery Papers MS.1986.167 - Page 5 - Biographical note: David Goldstein David Goldstein was a Jewish Socialist-turned-Catholic evangelical author and public speaker. He was born on July 27, 1870 in London, England, to Anna and Isaac Goldstein, a cigar maker. In 1871 his family immigrated to New York, where he attended Henry Street Public School, Fifth Street Public School, the Hebrew Free School, and the Spanish Jewish Synagogue. When he was 11 years old, he left school to help support the family, working first as a cashier and later a cigar maker. He became a member of the Cigar Makers' International Union, and these meetings introduced him to public speaking and propagandizing. He retained a lifelong membership in the union and steadfastly supported organized labor. In the early 1880s, he met and was influenced by Samuel Gompers and Henry George, whom Goldstein supported for mayor of New York City in 1886. Goldstein and his family moved to Boston in 1888, and he became affiliated with the Socialist Labor Party. He was impressed by the party's well-read and passionate members, but ultimately found it to be morally devoid. According to Goldstein, it was through his participation in party activities in 1896 that he met Martha Moore Avery, who would later influence his decision to leave the party and convert to Catholicism. While still members of the Socialist Labor Party, he and Avery regularly held "free-speech meetings," a tactic they would also employ as Catholic campaigners. After a disagreement with the leadership, Goldstein left the Socialist Labor Party in 1900 and joined the Socialist Party. However, following a public scandal that erupted when prominent Socialist leader George Herron left his wife and family in favor of a younger woman and justified it by citing Socialism's belief in free love, Goldstein began to seriously question the morality of Socialism, specifically concerning the family and religion. Once the party rejected his and Avery's call to include a focus on religious and moral teachings, Goldstein began to lessen his involvement with Socialism. He and Avery left the Socialist Party in early 1903. Goldstein and Avery spent the next few months writing and publishing their book, Socialism: The Nation of Fatherless Children (1903). Goldstein converted to Catholicism in 1905, citing Avery and her daughter, Katherine, as major influences in his decision. He found Catholic teaching on marriage and divorce particularly appealing, coming to believe that the Catholic Church was the safeguard of the future of civilization. In 1910, he was asked by Boston Cardinal William Henry O'Connell to give public lectures on Catholic teachings to working-class Catholics around the city. Goldstein's position as an educated, pro-union, Anti-Socialist who was able to talk to working-class people was considered a major asset to American Catholic leaders. He began going on annual national tours, sponsored by the Catholic Central Verein and the Knights of Columbus. He founded the Catholic Truth Guild (later known as Campaigners for Christ) with Avery in 1917 and devoted himself to defending the Catholic Church against attack, using the oratory and persuasion skills he learned as an active Socialist. In 1917, Goldstein and Avery were given permission by Cardinal O'Connell to give lectures on Catholic social teaching nationwide through the Catholic Truth Guild. The first was given on Boston Common on July 4, 1917. He and Avery had a model-T Ford customized for their lecture tours, the first of many cars commissioned for their lectures. It was painted yellow and white (papal colors), and a portable podium and sounding platform were installed. The second car, a Buick David Goldstein and Martha Moore Avery Papers MS.1986.167 - Page 6 - purchased in the early 1930s, had louder speakers to reach a larger audience. Goldstein depended on these unusual vehicles to attract a crowd as he toured. He went on lecture tours from 1917 until 1941, seeking to show that Catholic teachings were compatible with American values and could be held by an intelligent, educated person. He often lectured on the relationship between Catholicism and controversial current events, including women's suffrage, birth control, and divorce. After Avery's death in 1929, Goldstein struggled to find and train a successor, and when combined with the

    Roosevelt and the New Deal 1933–1939 Why It Matters Unlike Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was willing to employ deficit spending and greater federal regulation to revive the depressed economy. In response to his requests, Congress passed a host of new programs. Millions of people received relief to alleviate their suffering, but the New Deal did not really end the Depression. It did, however, permanently expand the federal government’s role in providing basic security for citizens. The Impact Today Certain New Deal legislation still carries great importance in American social policy. • The Social Security Act still provides retirement benefits, aid to needy groups, and unemployment and disability insurance. • The National Labor Relations Act still protects the right of workers to unionize. • Safeguards were instituted to help prevent another devastating stock market crash. • The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation still protects bank deposits.

  • Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right
    “Artisans … for Antichrist”: Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right Mark Weitzman* The Israeli historian, Israel J. Yuval, recently wrote: The Christian-Jewish debate that started nineteen hundred years ago, in our day came to a conciliatory close. … In one fell swoop, the anti-Jewish position of Christianity became reprehensible and illegitimate. … Ours is thus the first generation of scholars that can and may discuss the Christian-Jewish debate from a certain remove … a post- polemical age.1 This appraisal helped spur Yuval to write his recent controversial book Two Nations in Your Womb: Perceptions of Jews and Christians in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Yuval based his optimistic assessment on the strength of the reforms in Catholicism that stemmed from the adoption by the Second Vatican Council in 1965 of the document known as Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate in Michael Phayer’s words, was the “revolution- ary” document that signified “the Catholic church’s reversal of its 2,000 year tradition of antisemitism.”2 Yet recent events in the relationship between Catholics and Jews could well cause one to wonder about the optimism inherent in Yuval’s pronouncement. For, while the established Catholic Church is still officially committed to the teachings of Nostra Aetate, the opponents of that document and of “modernity” in general have continued their fight and appear to have gained, if not a foothold, at least a hearing in the Vatican today. And, since in the view of these radical Catholic traditionalists “[i]nternational Judaism wants to radically defeat Christianity and to be its substitute” using tools like the Free- * Director of Government Affairs, Simon Wiesenthal Center.

  • The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Catholic Campaign Became a Conservative Evangelical Cause

Williams Department of History, University of West Georgia, 1601 Maple St., Carrollton, GA 30118, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-678-839-6034 Academic Editor: Darren Dochuk Received: 25 February 2015 / Accepted: 3 April 2015 / Published: 16 April 2015 Abstract: This article employs a historical analysis of the religious composition of the pro-life movement to explain why the partisan identity of the movement shifted from the left to the right between the late 1960s and the 1980s. Many of the Catholics who formed the first anti-abortion organizations in the late 1960s were liberal Democrats who viewed their campaign to save the unborn as a rights-based movement that was fully in keeping with the principles of New Deal and Great Society liberalism, but when evangelical Protestants joined the movement in the late 1970s, they reframed the pro-life cause as a politically conservative campaign linked not to the ideology of human rights but to the politics of moral order and “family values.” This article explains why the Catholic effort to build a pro-life coalition of liberal Democrats failed after Roe v. Wade, why evangelicals became interested in the antiabortion movement, and why the evangelicals succeeded in their effort to rebrand the pro-life campaign as a conservative cause.

The first Directory of this kind was published in August, 1902. The term "Labor Organizations" as used in this Directory is a group of employees or wage earners organized for the purpose of improving their status through negotiations with employers. The organization is usually a party to either a written or verbal agreement concerning wages and conditions of employment. Since the last Directory was issued many new unions have been organized, others have become inactive or disbanded. The Department has records of unions in existence by reason of "statements" required by Chapter 618, Acts of 1946 (Revised by Chapter 394, Acts of 1949). This edition consists of four divisions, as follows: I. " National and International Organizations " having one or more affil- iated local unions in the United States, (pages 4-14).

Conflict, Postconflict, and the Functions of Higher Education: Lessons from Colombia and other Armed Conflicts Dissertation by: Iván Francisco Pacheco Dissertation Director: Philip G. Altbach Abstract “Education and conflict” has emerged as a new field of study during the last two decades. However, higher education is still relatively absent from this debate as most of the research has focused on primary and non-formal education. This dissertation is an exploratory qualitative study on the potential role of higher education in peacebuilding processes. The conceptual framework for the study is a taxonomy of the functions of higher education designed by the author. The questions guiding the dissertation are: 1) What can we learn about the role of higher education in conflict and postconflict from the experience of countries that have suffered internal conflicts in the last century? 2) How are universities in Colombia affected by the ongoing armed conflict in the country? 3) How can Colombian higher education contribute to build sustainable peace in the country? ! ! First, based on secondary sources, the dissertation explores seven armed conflicts that took place during the twentieth century.
