  • The Origins and Application of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
    The Origins and Application of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. — Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America This preamble sets forth goals for the United States. But when? After adoption of the Constitution, nearly 100 years passed before emancipation, and that involved a civil war. It was more than two generations after that before women were allowed to vote. Our history is replete with discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, and gender. Historically, many societies have survived with homogeneity of race, ethnicity, or religion, but never with homogeneity of gender. Because of this one might expect gender based discrimination to be among the first to fall in a democratic society, rather than one of the last. And yet, the 200 year history of our high court boasts of only two female justices. Only a small percentage of the Congress are female and there has never been a female president or vice- president. England has had its Margaret Thatcher, Israel its Golda Meir, and India its Indra Ghandi. The American Democracy has certainly missed the opportunity to lead the world in gender equality in leadership, and without that how can we expect to see gender equality in society? There will never be complete equality until women themselves help to make the laws and elect lawmakers.

The Constitution made no provision whatever for political parties. While its framers recognized that reasonable disagreement and organized debate were healthy components in a democratic society, creation of permanent factions was an extreme to be avoided. (The consensus among the founding fathers was that political parties were potentially dangerous because they divided society, became dominated by narrow special interests, and placed mere party loyalty above concern for the common welfare.) Hence, to identify Washington with the Federalist Party is an ex post facto distinction. Accordingly, Washington's first "election" is more accurately described as a "placement"; his second election was procedural only. The first presidential challenge whereby the citizenry genuinely expressed choice between candidates affiliated with two separate parties occurred in 1896, when John Adams won the honor of following in Washington's footsteps. The cartoon above shows the infamous brawl in House of Representatives between Democratic-Republican Matthew Lyon of Vermont and Federalist Roger Griswold from Connecticut.

  • William R. Willoughby* the ROOSEVELT CAMPOBELLO
    William R. Willoughby* THE ROOSEVELT CAMPOBELLO INTERNATIONAL PARK COMMISSrON Although not an event of world-shaking importance, the creation in 1964 of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park most certainly was a significant milestone in the evolutionary growth of Canadian­ American friendship and goodwill. During the preceding half century numerous bridges, monuments and markers along the "unguarded boundary" had been established and dedicated to the peace and friendship ideal. More significantly still, in 1932 two " peace parks" had been cre2.ted: ( 1) the International Peace Garden, on the border between H anitoba and North Dako ta, consisting of 1300 acres on the Canadian side and 900 on the American side and (2) the Waterton­ Gl acier International Peace Park, between Alberta and Mo ntana, a vast area of 1, l22,481 ac res-140,800 in Canada and 981,681 in the United States. 1 Although the opening o f each of these parks was hailed as a remarkabl ~ demonstration of amity and friendship- which indeed was true- neither in reality is an international park. Each country is responsibl! for the administration and financial upkeep of that portion of each p 1rk lying within its own boundaries. In sharp contras t, the Roosevelt Campobello International Park is truly " international" . It is owned by the people of the two countries and is administered in their name by a joint Canadian-American commission. Who fir st had the imaginative thought of converting the former Roosevelt property on Campobello Island into an international park it, obviously, is im possible to say with any certainty.

  • Electing Black Mayors
    Electing Black Mayors Political Action in the Black Community William E. Nelson, Jr. and Philip J. Meranto $20.00 ELECTING BLACK MAYORS Political Action in the Black Community By William E. Nelson, Jr., and Philip J. Meranto As the black protest movement swept north in the middle years of the 1960s, a major shift was to take place in its basic theme and fundamental direction that transferred emphasis from the familiar exhortation to demand "freedom now" to an equally urgent summons to marshal the formidable, if un­ tapped, resources of "black power" in the struggle for liberation. This alteration in both informing idea and effective method signified conclusively that blacks, grown angry and frustrated over the slow rate of their social and economic prog­ ress as an oppressed minority, were finally prepared to realize their potential force in order to exercise a decisive measure of po­ litical control over their own lives. As a call to action, black power reflected a growing sense of community among blacks, a fresh awareness of shared experience and a common heritage. More importantly, however, it was both a challenge posed by blacks to themselves to gain some increased measure of control over the institutions of that community, and an appeal for black solidarity and concerted political action as the essential means to that end. An increased concentration of blacks in the major cities of the northern and western United States had come about as the direct result of one of the most significant demographic changes to occur in the nation in the twentieth century.

    , THE MISSISSIPPI· FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY Background InformaUon for SUppoMlve CampaIgns by Campus Groups repal"ed by STEV E MAX PolItical Education Project, Room 3091' 119 FIfth Ave., N .. Y.C. Associated with Students for a Democrattc Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE llJAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres­ sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians who traditionally have been denied this right. In addition to being a political instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily think in these -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi­ nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in the destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are potential allies of the MFDP. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Mississippi Democratic Party runs the state of MisSissippi .with an iron hand. It controls the legislative, executive and judicial be nches of the state government. Prior to the November, 1964 elec­ tion all 49 state 3enators and all but one of the 122 Representa­ tives were Democrats. Mississippi sent four Democrats and one Goldwater Republican to Congress last November.

  • Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960S Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft
    Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft-- Manuscript Number: JREP-D-16-00087R1 Full Title: Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts Article Type: Research Article Corresponding Author: Richard Johnson Oxford University Oxford, UNITED KINGDOM Corresponding Author Secondary Information: Corresponding Author's Institution: Oxford University Corresponding Author's Secondary Institution: First Author: Richard Johnson First Author Secondary Information: Order of Authors: Richard Johnson Order of Authors Secondary Information: Abstract: Scholars have credited the victory of Edward Brooke, America's first popularly elected black United States senator, to a 'deracialised' or 'colour-blind' election strategy in which both the candidate and the electorate ignored racial matters. This article revises this prevailing historical explanation of Brooke's election. Drawing from the historical- ideational paradigm of Desmond King and Rogers Smith, this paper argues that Brooke was much more of a 'race-conscious' candidate than is generally remembered. Primary documents from the 1966 campaign reveal that Brooke spoke openly against racial inequality, arguing in favour of racially targeted policies and calling for stronger racial equality legislation. In addition, this paper argues that Brooke's appeals were not targeted primarily to the state's small black population but to liberal whites. Far from ignoring race, internal campaign documents and interviews with campaign staff reveal that Brooke's campaign strategists sought to appeal to white desires to 'do the right thing' by electing an African American. Internal polling documents from the Brooke campaign and newspaper commentaries further demonstrate that a proportion of the white electorate cited Brooke's race as the reason for supporting his candidacy.
