Among the recipients of honorary degrees that day were Hubert Humphrey, who gave the commencement address, Thurgood Marshall, Frances Perkins, Lord Beveridge, and Harold C. Case, the president of Boston University. There were others, as well, including Abraham Feinberg, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Maurice B. Hexler, executive vice president of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York. On the previous day, Thurgood Marshall had given the baccalaureate address. Remarkably, many of us in the class of ‘61 still remember those speeches, if not in detail, then in broad outline. Both speakers linked the mission of Brandeis University to the commencement weekend theme of social welfare. Humphrey’s address, “The Four Enemies of Freedom,” was, in fact, an echo of FDR’s 1941 State of the Union speech. In that “message” (as it was then called) FDR put forward a four-point program of universal human rights: (1) freedom of speech, (2) freedom of worship, (3) freedom from want, and (4) freedom from fear. In an early 60s Cold War context, Humphrey updated those principles, enlisting them in the ideological struggle between contending political systems: American democracy in its most ideal form and communism as it was then perceived in the West.

  • Conscientious Objectors in the Context of Canadian Peace Movements
    Conscientious Objectors in the Context of Canadian Peace Movements Thomas Socknat, University of Toronto Canada has a long, rich pacifist tradition rooted in sectarian non-resistance and liberal Protestantism. It was this religious pacifist presence in Canadian society and its support for conscientious objection that laid a firm foundation for a broader peace movement and remains to this day its core of support. In fact, conscientious objectors have been the very backbone of the peace movement, especially in times of war when they often have been the only ones actively challenging the state. At first limited to a few pacifist religious groups, by the Second World War the right to conscientious objection was extended to all those with a pacifist conscience once alternative service was accepted as a legitimate exemption from military service. In effect, the Canadian State recognized the pacifist alternative – a remarkable tribute to the prominent role played by conscientious objectors in the movement for peace and the non-violent resolution of conflict.1 The meaning of the term “conscientious objector”, however, has also changed. Generally it has been synonymous with those who, for reasons of conscience, refuse to participate in the military and certainly that has been its principle meaning in Canadian history. But in the course of the twentieth century, and especially after the Second World War, its use broadened to include anyone, men and women, who objected to any support for war, whether it was refusing to serve in the military or refusing to pay taxes.2 As well the composition of the peace movement broadened during this time to include a wide variety of groups and individuals with various motivations, especially as the movement was increasingly politicized, but its most prominent supporters over the years consistently remained religious groups that not only strove towards common political goals but were sustained by higher, spiritual values.

  • “Cowering from Hatred and Unfair Treatment Was Rarely an Option:” Jewish and African Canadian Communities in the Post War II Period
    “Cowering from hatred and unfair treatment was rarely an option:” Jewish and African Canadian Communities in The Post War II Period Name: Sonya richards Date: April 6, 2021 Class: AP HIST 4581 Instructor: David Koffman Images from the American civil rights movement of the 1960s dominate the popular Canadian imagination of civil liberty history. Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, John F. Kennedy and perhaps Rabbi Abraham Heschel have been seared onto the Canadian psyche.1 Less well-remembered however, are the efforts of individuals and groups to advance civil rights within our own country. But how is this possible? How is it that a nation has seemingly forgotten such crucial elements of its history? The answer is found in the pervasiveness of the myth of British egalitarianism. Within this understanding, Canada is conceptualized as a bastion of morality wherein individuals irrespective of race, colour or creed are afforded the same opportunities to thrive.2 The abolition of slavery, which occurred on August 28,1833 throughout the British Colonies, and the Underground Railroad which had its terminus in what is now Ontario are the most lauded events.3 The by-product of such an understanding of Canadian history has been an almost intoxicating sense of superiority especially, in relation to the United States of America; often deemed unjust and immoral. Canadian society has invested in this mythology to such an extent that narratives which run counter to it have been left to languish in obscurity. The civil rights or civil liberties movement within Canada in the Post World War II era has long been such a casualty.
