Amann were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in March of 1985 by Mr. Amann himself and were opened for research in August of 1987. Peter H. Amann was born in Vienna, Austria on May 31, 1927. After receiving an A.B. from Oberlin College in 1947 and the Masters and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago in 1953 and 1958 respectively, Professor Amann was appointed to a teach- ing position in 1968 at the University of Michigan's Dearborn, Michigan campus where he was later awarded a Professorship in History. Eighteenth and nineteenth century French history are Professor Amann's areas of academic concentration with the French Revolution of 1848 receiving his particular attention. The papers of Peter H.

The men quickly formed into squads and rushed into cars for the "night ride". Two of the cars, in advance of the others, reached a dark, lonely spot on Dix Road on the outskirts of Detroit. The other cars were apparently delayed by the opening of the River Rouge bridge. Seven occupants of the cars jumped out and went into a huddle. They spoke in low tones and repeatedly turned to look back on the road to see if other cars were coming. Their special concern was a car with black robes, hoods and rope required for a "necktie party". For that is what it was to be. "Well, I guess they must have got lost", said "Colonel" Harvey Davis, a tall, lanky, rat-faced creature. Then, turning to a short, stocky member of the party, he commanded: "Dean, get Poole out." Dean instantly drew two revolvers and stepped toward one of the cars. "Poole, come out of that car!" he said.

  • "Under the Star of the Guard" 1*13
    "UNDER THE STAR OF THE GUARD" The Story of the Black Legion Mark S. English 1*13 Preface The Ku Klux Klan and the Black Legion, two super-patriotic fraternal organizations, had cyclical success during the years 1865-1938. The K.K.K. dates back to sometime between Christmas 1865 and June, 1866 when it began as a small group of defeated Confederate soldiers in south central Tennessee. It eventually grew into a national organization that is active today. The Black Legion was a spin-off of the K.K.K. and was active from 1924 or 1925 to 1938, primarily in Ohio and Michigan. The organizations had similarities and differences. One overriding theme was that both were secret societies that believed in the preservation of nativism, as both groups were against anyone who was not native-born, Protestant, and with white Anglo-Saxon ancestry. Some differences between the two groups were in their recruitment tactics, monetary goals of their leaders, and the severity of violence used to carry out their agendas. The first two chapters of this thesis provide an overview of the Ku Klux Klan. The remaining chapters focus on the rise and fall of the Black Legion. It is my sincere hope that this thesis may shed some light upon the American myth of equality for every citizen, regardless of race, color, gender, or creed. 2 Chapter One "JUST HAVIN' SOME FUN" Southern chivalry and the ante-bellum way of life had suffered through the turbulent years of the Civil War. The defeat of the Confederacy in 1865 was followed by Radical Reconstruction.

  • Maurice Sugar Papers
    THE MAURICE SUGAR COLLECTION Papers, 1907-1973 58 1/2 Linear Feet Accession Number 232 Maurice Sugar was one of the first American lawyers to become what is now known as a "Labor Lawyer." Before he was made Chief Legal Counsel of the United Automobile Workers, a post he held between 1937 and 1948, he had practiced as a labor lawyer and defender of the poor since 1914. Born in Brimley, Michigan in 1891, he was educated in the Detroit school system. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School where he was Editor of the Michigan Law Review. In 1914 he and Jane Mayer were married. She later became Supervisor of Elementary School Physical Education for the City of Detroit. Sugar's first client in 1914 was the Detroit Typographical Union (AFL), and before his work with the UAW he represented nearly all Detroit area unions including the Detroit and Wayne County Federations of Labor (AFL) and various AFL international unions. During the Tool and Die Makers Strike of 1913 he handled over two-hundred cases in the courts. During World War I Sugar was indicted and convicted in a conspiracy trial (1917-1918), as he was a pacifist, but he was subsequently readmitted to the bar and pardoned. Active during his youth in the Socialist Party he later became an important spokesman for what were then considered "left wing" causes, including civil rights and racial equality. He was one of the founders of the National Lawyers Guild and an early advocate of pensions, unemployment compensation, social security and other such measures.

THE ROLE OF COMMUNISTS in the history of the North American Labor movement has always been controversial. In recent years some balance has been restored to that history by the growing body of work by and about Communists who were middle-level leaders in the CIO unions and a few studies that deal more broadly with their activities.
