UCLA Library Special Collections, Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA. UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 4230402 Biography/History Reuben W. Borough (RWB) (1883-1970) was a Progressive activist born in Sylvania, Ohio, who grew up in Marshall, Michigan, the son of a buggy manufacturer. He was childhood friends with the poet Carl Sandburg and the pulp novelist H. Bedford-Jones. He married Laura Bradley, a newspaper reporter, in 1910 and the couple moved to Los Angeles in 1912. One of Borough's earliest jobs in the city was as a motion-picture singer in a downtown movie theater, but he soon forged a career in journalism. He was a major reporter for the now-defunct Los Angeles Record, where he published the popular "Back-to-the-Land" columns, advocating for urban farming and gardening, and municipally-owned power. In 1931 he assisted social reformer Judge Ben Lindsey with the writing of his biography, The Dangerous Life. In 1933 he joined Upton Sinclair's EPIC (End Poverty in California) campaign for governor, and was editor of EPIC News until 1935. From 1936 to 1939, Borough served as associate secretary of the Los Angeles Municipal League, and was associate editor of the Municipal League of Los Angeles Bulletin. During this time, Borough was active in building the Federation for Civic Betterment, the political coalition responsible for first mayoral recall campaign in the history of the United States, ousting Los Angeles Mayor Frank Shaw and campaigning for Mayor Fletcher Bowron on a reform platform. Finding Aid for the Reuben W. 927 2 Borough papers, ca. 1880-1973 He later served on the Los Angeles Board of Public Works (1939-45), and was active in the labor movements of the time, following stories on labor strikes and the growth of local co-operatives, such as Llano del Rio. Borough's wife Laura died in 1943. He later married Madeleine Ruthven, a screenwriter and poet. In 1946, Borough ran as a Democratic candidate for the 20th Congressional District. He was an active member in the Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences, and Professions (HICCASP), precipitating his later disapproval of the Committee for Un-American Activities and the Smith Act, spiritually and politically aligning with the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles and the Reverend Stephen Fritchman. In 1952 Borough became the Independent Progressive Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, and campaigned with Charlotta Bass, the first African-American woman in United States history to be nominated as a Vice Presidential candidate. While Borough slowly retired from the role of professional politician, he remained an activist and writer for the rest of his life, particularly in relation to issues surrounding the public ownership of power and early peace movements. In 1960, he began working full-time on his autobiography, Jubilant Crusader, chronicling how his early life experiences in Michigan lead to a life-long involvement with Progressivism. Borough died on September 24, 1970. Scope and Content The collection includes personal letters and photographs, clippings, periodicals, broadsides, campaign materials, posters, photographs and slides.

    The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Denning Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Paula M. Baker, Advisor Dr. William R. Childs Dr. Mansel Blackford Copyright By Robert Denning 2011 Abstract California took the lead on environmental protection and regulation during Ronald Reagan‟s years as governor (1967-1974). Drawing on over a century of experience with conserving natural resources, environmentally friendly legislators and Governor Reagan enacted the strongest air and water pollution control programs in the nation, imposed stringent regulations on land use around threatened areas like Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay, expanded the size and number of state parks, and required developers to take environmental considerations into account when planning new projects. This project explains why and how California became the national leader on environmental issues. It did so because of popular anger toward the environmental degradation that accompanied the state‟s rapid and uncontrolled expansion after World War II, the election of a governor and legislators who were willing to set environmental standards that went beyond what industry and business believed was technically feasible, and an activist citizenry that pursued new regulations through lawsuits and ballot measures when they believed the state government failed. The environment had a broad constituency in California during the Reagan years. Republicans, Democrats, students, bureaucrats, scientists, and many businessmen tackled the environmental problems that ii threatened the California way of life.

First, the majority of the themes and property types significant in military history in Los Angeles are covered under other contexts and themes of the citywide historic context statement as indicated in the “Introduction” below. Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.

    ''Cocktail Picket Party" The Hollywood Citizen—News Strike, The Newspaper Guild, and the Popularization of the "Democratic Front" in Los Angeles Michael Furmanovsky The ten-week strike of Hollywood Citizen-News editorial workers in the spring and summer of 1938 left an indelible mark on the history of Los Angeles labor. Almost unmatched in the city's history for the large size and glamorous composition of its picket lines, the strike's transformation into a local "cause celebre" owed much to the input of the Communist Party of Los Angeles (CPLA) and its widely diffused allies. While the Communists were not responsible for calling the walkout in May 1938, the subsequent development of the strike into a small-scale symbol of the potential inherent in liberal-labor-left unity was largely attributable to the CPLA's carefully planned strategy, which attempted to fulfill the goals set by the American Communist Party during the "Democratic Front" period (1938-39); namely, to mobilize the broadest possible network of pro- Roosevelt groups and individuals, integrated with the full complement of Party-led organizations. These would range during the Citizen-News strike from CIO unions and liberal assemblymen, to fellow-travelling Holly- wood celebrities and Communist affiliated anti-fascist organizations.' The Hollywood Citizen-News strike was far from an unqualified success either for the strikers or for the broader political movement envisaged by the Communist Party in 1938-39, nevertheless it became a rallying point for those on the Communist and non-Communist left who looked to the New Deal and the CIO as the twin vehicles for a real political transforma- tion and realignment in the United States.

    Community Resistance and Conditional Patriotism in Cold War Los Angeles: the Battle for Chavez Ravine

    Original Article Community resistance and conditional patriotism in cold war Los Angeles: The battle for Chavez Ravine Ronald W. Lo´pez II Sonoma State University, CA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article examines the resistance to displacement of residents of Chavez Ravine, Los Angeles, a community slated to be razed for a public housing project in the post-war era (1950–1953). Community women, mostly Mexican American, overtly identified themselves as patriotic wives and daughters of veterans who were entitled to keep their homes and live in peace. They declared that their patriotism was conditional, and that the seizure of their homes and destruction of their community threatened the basis of their patriotism; displacement, they suggested, might radicalize them. While their efforts to preserve the Chavez Ravine community were unsuccessful, they influenced local politics and became a lasting symbol of Chicano displacement and resistance. Latino Studies (2009) 7, 457–479. doi:10.1057/lst.2009.38 Keywords: Chavez Ravine; conditional patriotism; Mexican American; discourse of resistance; displacement; eviction Introduction On 8 May 1959, the City of Los Angeles evicted the Are´chiga family from their Chavez Ravine home of 36 years. Once the family had been removed, a bulldozer reduced the home to a pile of rubble. Eminent domain proceedings r 2009 Macmillan Publishers Ltd. 1476-3435 Latino Studies Vol. 7, 4, 457–479 www.palgrave-journals.com/lst/ Lo´ pez II had begun 8 years earlier, when the city planned to seize the land for a major public housing project. Long before the final evictions, however, the housing project had been canceled, and the Los Angeles City Council was in the process of transferring the land to the Los Angeles Dodgers, for the future site of Dodger Stadium.

DEDICATION TRIBUTE TO JUSTICE STANLEY MOSK Gerald F. Uelmen* The image of justice flowing like a mighty river has been celebrated in songs and poems and prayers. Today, we celebrate that image in remembering the career of Justice Stanley Mosk. Like the mighty river of justice, the legacy of Justice Mosk flows long, it flows wide, and it flows deep. The length of this river stretches back through sixty-five years of California history. Stanley Mosk began his career in public service as executive secretary and legal advisor to Governor Culbert Olson in 1939. He handled Governor Olson's pardon of labor activist Tom Mooney, ending a quest for justice that bounced back and forth between the California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court for twenty years.' When Governor Olson was defeated for reelection by Earl Warren, Governor Olson rewarded Stanley Mosk with a midnight appointment to the bench before Olson left office.
  • The Great Depression: California in the Thirties

    The Great Depression: California in the Thirties

    The Great Depression: California in the Thirties California was hit hard by the economic collapse of the 1930s. Businesses failed, workers lost their jobs, and families fell into poverty. While the political response to the depression often was confused and ineffective, social messiahs offered alluring panaceas promising relief and recovery. In spite of the general gloom of the decade, Californians continued to build and celebrate their Golden State. Hard Times Californians who lived through the 1920s and 1930s must have felt as though they were on a roller coaster. In a dizzying cycle of boom and bust, a decade of spectacular prosperity was followed by the worst economic collapse in the state's history. Ramshackle encampments, such as Pipe City in Oakland, filled with forlorn unemployed workers and their families. The crash of the Macon, a helium-filled dirigible, mirrored the collapsing fortunes of Californians everywhere. The hard times of the thirties contributed to a disturbing resurgence of nativism; authorities shipped thousands of Mexican deportees across the border. Meanwhile, thousands of new Dust Bowl refugees from the heartland of America streamed into California seeking a better life. Their coming inspired John Steinbeck to write The Grapes of Wrath (1939) and Dorothea Lange to compile an epic photographic record. The newcomers created in California an "Okie subculture," a way of life still flourishing today. Discontented workers in the thirties went on the offensive. Farmworkers and farm owners locked horns in yet another round of total engagement. The San Francisco General Strike of 1934 paralyzed the bay area and attracted national attention.
