  • The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillm
    “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming.

And that is saying a lot in the wake of the more than two-year witch hunt against President Trump.

  • Spiro Agnew and the Golden Age of Corruption in Maryland Politics: an Interview with Ben Bradlee and Richard Cohen of the Washington Post
    Spiro Agnew and the Golden Age of Corruption in Maryland Politics: An Interview with Ben Bradlee and Richard Cohen of The Washington Post Edited by Charles J. Holden and Zach Messitte The Occasional Papers of The Center for the Study of Democracy Volume 2, Number 1, Fall 2006 The Center for the Study of Democracy: A Better Understanding of Maryland and the World There have been forty-three Presidents and forty-six Vice Presidents of the United States. Spiro Agnew is the only Marylander ever elected to either national office. Born to a Greek immigrant father in Baltimore in 1918, Agnew attended Johns Hopkins University and the University of Baltimore Law School. He served in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II and was awarded the Bronze Star. Agnew served as Baltimore County Executive from 1962-1966 and as Governor of Maryland from 1967- 1969. He stepped down as Governor to serve as Richard Nixon’s Vice President from 1969-1973. In 1973, he resigned the vice presidency and pled no contest to charges of tax evasion. After his resignation he wrote a novel, pursued a career as an international businessman, and maintained a beach house in Ocean City, Maryland where he died in 1996. Despite Agnew’s fascinating political career, no one has yet written a definitive biography about Maryland’s only vice-president. Richard Cohen, a syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, covered Annapolis for the newspaper in the early 1970s and broke many of the stories in the fall of 1973 that chronicled Agnew’s legal travails.
