Constitutional History, Social Science, and Brown V. Board of Education 1954–1964
CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY, SOCIAL SCIENCE, AND BROWN V. BOARD OF EDUCATION 1954–1964 RAYMOND WOLTERS PART II: THE CONTINUING CONTROVERSY he segregationists’ counterattack on the Brown ruling and its historical and social science underpinnings was not limited to courtroom battles. Ever since Brown they Thad also challenged the prevailing public opinion about school desegregation. After Stell v. Savannah they redoubled these efforts. Henry E. Garrett and Wesley Critz George often wrote for general audiences, and two especially gifted writers, James J. Kilpatrick and Carleton Putnam, also came to the defense of segregation. From the moment of the Brown decision, Kilpatrick regarded desegregation as “jurisprudence gone mad.” He thought the Supreme Court had ignored eight decades of legal precedents and willfully disregarded the original un- derstanding of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since the justices had interpreted the Constitution “to suit their own gauzy concepts of sociology,” Kilpatrick recommended that the South use every possible legal means to circumvent desegregation. “Let us pledge ourselves to litigate this thing for fifty years,” he wrote. “If one remedial law is ruled invalid, then let us try another; and if the second is ruled invalid, then let us enact a third…If it be said now that the South is flouting the law, let it be said to the high court, You taught us how.”1 In an extraordinary series of editorials published in the Richmond News Leader in 1955, Kilpatrick resurrected the Jeffersonian idea of interposition as a way to stop abuses of federal power. When a Federalist Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, in apparent disregard of states’ rights and of the First Amendment’s prohibition of laws that abridged freedom of speech, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson prepared protests known as the Virginia and Kentucky Resolves. -
Preface My Years with the Pioneer Fund by Harry F. Weyher President
Preface My Years with the Pioneer Fund by Harry F. Weyher President, The Pioneer Fund On 22 November 1994 ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings was replete with somber voices speaking of a small penis being a "sign of superior intelligence," "eradicating inferior people," arresting blacks solely because of skin color, race superiority, and mentally ill Jews. This voice-over was spiced with references to Hitler and scenes of emaciated victims in Nazi death camps.1 I watched this broadcast with more than usual interest, because I was president of the foundation which was the subject of the broadcast, the Pioneer Fund. Fearing such tabloid treatment, I had refused repeated invitations from ABC to appear on tape for the program.2 My fears were justified. What I saw was a grotesque distortion, akin to what one used to see in fun house mirrors. ii The Science of Human Diversity A History of the Pioneer Fund The ABC broadcast was one of an endless series of attacks on Pioneer and the scientists whom it has funded, dating back almost 50 years, most often by making baseless charges of "Nazism" or "racism," thus sometimes inciting student unrest or faculty reaction. The following also has happened to Pioneer and these scientists: One scientist had to be accompanied by an armed guard on his own campus, as well as guarded in his home. Another scientist was required by the university to teach his classes by closed circuit television, supposedly in order to prevent a riot breaking out in his class. Several scientists had university and other speaking engagements canceled or interrupted by gangs of students or outside toughs. -
Anti-Fascist Action Radical Resistance Or Rent-A-Mob? Mark Hayes and Paul Aylward
soundings issue 14 Spring 2000 Anti-Fascist Action Radical resistance or rent-a-mob? Mark Hayes and Paul Aylward Mark Hayes and Paul Aylward analyse the nature of Anti-Fascist Action. There appears to be a general consensus amongst political commentators that there is a re-emerging fascist threat in contemporary Europe. As Roger Eatwell has noted, waves of extreme and radical right-wing activity have been washing up over European shores during the half-century since the total military defeat of Fascism. Yet, until recently, the long-term electoral prospects of such parties have appeared minimal ... but as the new millennium beckons, the latest western European wave appears to be the most threatening one for fifty years.1 The re-emergence of the fascist spectre has been graphically reflected in the political prominence of Le Pen's Front National in France, and in the success of Jorg Haider and the Freedom Party in Austria. Moreover, with unemployment 1. R. Eatwell, 'The Dynamics of Right-Wing Electoral Breakthrough', Patterns of Prejudice, Vol 32 No 3, July 1998,p3. 53 Soundings in Europe standing at over 30 million, and economic crisis threatening to undermine political stability across the region, there is growing concern that fascist ideas will once again begin to resonate. As Chantal Mouffe has pointed out, the resurgence of the extreme right should be seen in the context of a 'bland homogenised political world', where 'the left' has, in essence, capitulated to neo-liberal hegemony, and where ideological convergence allows the more extreme populist parties on the right to portray themselves as the 'radical' alternative to the dominant consensus'.2 With the left out-manoeuvred in ideological terms, and in the absence of genuine political choice, it is not difficult to envisage widespread disaffection in society, and this might well provide practical political opportunities for the far right. -
Honoring Racism: the Professional Life and Reputation of Stanley D
1 Honoring Racism: The Professional Life and Reputation of Stanley D. Porteus David E. Stannard In the Spring of 1998, the University of Hawai’i (UH) Board of Regents (BOR) voted to remove the name of former UH Professor Stanley D. Porteus from its place of honor on the Mānoa campus’ Social Science Building. This was the culmination of more than two decades of on-again, off-again activism on the part of UH students and faculty – spearheaded in the end by the 1997-98 Associated Students of the University of Hawai’i (ASUH). It was all done rather quietly. In the Fall of 1997, following an overwhelmingly supported ASUH resolution on the matter, UH President Kenneth Mortimer directed that a faculty-student committee be appointed to study Porteus’ work and to reconsider the appropriateness of honoring him with a campus building in his name. That committee’s report was issued in March of 1998. It recommended removing Porteus’ name from the Social Science Building, but it carefully avoided any detailed discussion of his work, and thus it provided no in-depth rationale for the serious action it advocated. Following in this line, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dean Smith conveyed the committee’s report to the Board of Regents with his assent, but also with an accompanying brief introduction that denied that Porteus’ work was – as ASUH and many scholars had long claimed – virulently racist and violent in its policy implications. Going one better than the substantially non-committal faculty-student committee, the Vice President’s remarks actually served to deny and undermine the recommendation with which he was concurring – the recommendation that the Regents should take the extraordinary step of removing Porteus’ name from the Social Science Building after two decades of its presence there. -

Science in the Service of the Far Right: Henry E. Garrett, the IAAEE, and the Liberty Lobby
Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 54, No. 1, 1998,pp. 179-210 Science in the Service of the Far Right: Henry E. Garrett, the IAAEE, and the Liberty Lobby Andrew S. Winston* Universily of Guelph Henry E. Garrett (1894-1973) was the President of the American Psychological Association in 1946 and Chair of Psychology at Columbia Universityfrom 1941 to 1955. In the 1950s Garrett helped organize an international group of scholars dedi- cated to preventing race mixing, preserving segregation, and promoting the princi- ples of early 20th century eugenics and “race hygiene.” Garrett became a leader in the fight against integration and collaborated with those who sought to revitalize the ideology of National Socialism. I discuss the intertwined history the Interna- tional Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics (IAAEE),the journal Mankind Quarterly, the neofascist Northern League, and the ultra-right- wing political group, the Liberty Lobby. The use of psychological research and expertise in the promotion of neofascism is examined. No more than Nature desires the mating of weaker with stronger individu- als, even less does she desire the blending of a higher with a lower race, since, if she did, her whole work of higher breeding, over perhaps hun- dreds of thousands of years, might be ruined with one blow. Historical ex- perience offers countless proofs of this. It shows with terrifying clarity that in every mingling ofAryan blood with that of lowerpeoples the result was the end of the culturedpeople. , , , The result of all racial crossing is there- fore in brief always thefollowing: Lowering of the level of the higher race; *Portions of this paper were presented at the annual meeting of CHEIRON, the International Soci- ety for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences, at the University of Richmond in June 1997. -

British Antifascism and the Holocaust, 1945-67
British Antifascism and the Holocaust, 1945-67 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Joshua Cohen Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies School of History, Politics and International Relations May 2019 Abstract British Antifascism and the Holocaust, 1945-67 Joshua Cohen This thesis explores the extent to which the Holocaust shaped British antifascism in the period 1945-1967. It makes an original contribution in setting out the first dedicated analysis of the relationship between consciousness of the Nazi genocide and motivations for confronting fascism in Britain. The study has interrogated institutional archival records to assess the presence of the Holocaust in the private discourses, propaganda and campaign strategies of a wide variety of antifascist organisations. Personal motivations for antifascist activism have been engaged with through analysis of memoirs, autobiographies and oral histories. The thesis will demonstrate that the Holocaust was often absent from antifascist rhetoric, and so should be decentred from understandings that assume constant affinity between Holocaust remembrance and British antifascism. Instead, antifascism in this period was often conceptualised in a patriotic framework, as coda to the Second World War, or viewed through left-wing analyses of class struggle which obscured fascism’s ‘racial’ victims. However, the central importance of this study lies in its revealing that a Holocaust-inspired resistance to fascism was emerging in this period and beginning to co-exist with patriotic and other forms of antifascism. The ‘lessons’ of the Holocaust for antifascists were the subject of agonised internal disputes and became a point of open conflict between militant and establishment Anglo- Jewish organisations. -
London Conference on Intelligence Report Forward UCL Is Today
London Conference on Intelligence Report Forward UCL is today releasing a redacted version of the internal report into the London Conference on Intelligence. We have not released this before now because of the significant amount of personal information contained in the report. However, in the interests of ensuring transparency in the public interest, we are now releasing information from that report about the university’s relationship to that series of conferences, which ran on our campus, without our knowledge, between 2014-17, and which was proposed, but did not run, in 2018. The conferences were hosted by an honorary senior lecturer at UCL. The university was not informed in advance about the speakers and content of the conference series, as it should have been for the event to be allowed to go ahead. The conferences were booked and paid for as an external event and without our officials being told of the details. They were therefore not approved or endorsed by UCL. Following the disclosure that the London Conference on Intelligence had been held at UCL, UCL immediately set up an investigation team led by the head of the relevant Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, with three other senior academics. The information which is being released has been extracted from the university’s investigation report in order to remove the personal data of some individuals involved in the investigation – reflecting the need to balance the public interest in being transparent with the personal data rights of individuals. UCL views the right to debate and challenge ideas as fundamental to the nature of a university, and is committed to ensuring that free and open discussion can take place in an atmosphere of tolerance for different viewpoints. -

Racial Irredentism, Ethnogenesis, and White Supremacy in High-Apartheid South Africa
Racial Irredentism, Ethnogenesis, and White Supremacy in High-Apartheid South Africa SAUL DUBOW Queen Mary, University of London and Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), Stellenbosch University During the period of high apartheid – the 1960s and early 1970s – there was a resur- gence of scientific racism in small but concentrated intellectual circles with strong transnational links to Britain and the United States. This resurgence was closely tied to the efforts of J.D.J. Hofmeyr, an eminent but little-known plant geneticist based at Pretoria University, to establish ‘anthropogenetics’ as a dimension of human genet- ics. Using networks associated with the radical right-wing journal The Mankind Quarterly, Hofmeyr and his associates sought to argue that biological superiority and inferiority was natural and ineradicable. They also argued in favour the biological basis of culture, encouraging the view that apartheid’s Bantustans were the natural fulfilment of underlying cultural and ethnic differences. This idea was picked up and developed in the thinking of leading volkekundiges like P.J. Coertze. A range of intel- lectuals and activists, some on the margins of academia, others with permanent posi- tions, mobilised these ideas in an attempt to justify apartheid and to position support for apartheid South Africa, along with Rhodesia, as part of a broader defence of white supremacy. The term ‘racial irredentism’ is used to signal how the new scientific racists sought to recover and reconfigure the intellectual territory of prewar -

Race is more than just skin deep: A psychologist's view Rushton, J Philippe Mankind Quarterly; Winter 1998; 39, 2; ProQuest Research Library pg. 231 231 Race is More Than Just Skin Deep: A Psychologist's View J. Philippe Rushton1 University of Western Ontario This article defends the concept of "race" against a coordinated political campaign to deconstruct basic biology. It briefly reviews some of the most reliably documented Black-White differences, such as those in brain size, IQ, violent crime, testosterone, sexuality and AIDs. Although these racial differences are now reliably found worldwide (not just within the USA), many in the media and scholarly associations continue to try and deny them or attribute them to "political circumstance." "Statements on Race" made by organizations such as the American Association for Anthropology are discussed and found to be wanting. Key Words: AAA Statement on Race, brain size, crime, evolution, intelligence. I originally wrote this paper in reaction to a Knight-Ridder article ("Genetic Basis For Race Said To Be Just Skin Deep," October 13, 1996), which argued that race has no validity as a biological concept when applied to man, seeking to defend the concept of "race" against a coordinated political campaign to deconstruct basic biology. Since then numerous other media stories have appeared purporting to debunk the reality of race, some playing off policy statements by scholarly organizations such as the one adopted by the American Association of Anthropology on May 17, 1998. Worse, governments have become actively involved in propagating the misinformation. I originally wrote this paper in reaction to a Knight-Ridder article ("Genetic Basis For Race Said To Be Just Skin Deep," 1 J.
