    1 Building Bridges: the Challenge of Organized

    BUILDING BRIDGES: THE CHALLENGE OF ORGANIZED LABOR IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR Robin D. G. Kelley New York University [email protected] What roles can labor unions play in transforming our inner cities and promo ting policies that might improve the overall condition of working people of color? What happens when union organizers extend their reach beyond the workplace to the needs of working-class communities? What has been the historical role of unions in the larger struggles of people of color, particularly black workers? These are crucial questions in an age when production has become less pivotal to working-class life. Increasingly, we've witnessed the export of whole production processes as corporations moved outside the country in order to take advantage of cheaper labor, relatively lower taxes, and a deregulated, frequently antiunion environment. And the labor force itself has changed. The old images of the American workingclass as white men residing in sooty industrial suburbs and smokestack districts are increasingly rare. The new service-based economy has produced a working class increasingly concentrated in the healthcare professions, educational institutions, office building maintenance, food processing, food services and various retail establishments. 1 In the world of manufacturing, sweatshops are coming back, particularly in the garment industry and electronics assembling plants, and homework is growing. These unions are also more likely to be brown and female than they have been in the past. While white male membership dropped from 55.8% in 1986 to 49.7% in 1995, women now make up 37 percent of organized labor's membership -- a higher percentage than at any time in the U.S.

Yet, it i3 not un-American. Indeed, as this work by the Editor of the WEEKLY PEOPLE shows, the principles and aim of the genuine So- cialist movement are in complete harmony with the forward-looking traditions estab- lished by the rebels of 1776. Revolt against the tyranny of a foreign ruling class was American. Loyalty to a foreign king was un-American. Even the rcactionists of the present day are forced to admit that-in order to prove their "Americanism." 8Similarly, the Socialist demand for the end of modern capitalist despotism is American. The times call for it. The needs of the working class majority demand it. The threat of civilization's collapse makes it imperative. Read this pamphlet. It refutes a host of lies spread by the capitalists. It demon- strates that Socialist Industrial Unionism is the bearer of new freedom for the Amer- ican people.

    Fascism is Still a Menace! By Eric Hass Published Online by Socialist Labor Party of America www.slp.org June 2006 PUBLISHING HISTORY PRINTED EDITION .................................. December 1948 ONLINE EDITION ............................................ June 2006 NEW YORK LABOR NEWS P.O. BOX 218 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94042-0218 http://www.slp.org/nyln.htm Foreword The title of this pamphlet, “Fascism is Still a Menace,” may be somewhat confusing to the superficial reader to whom fascism merely means the brutal dictatorships of which Hitler and Mussolini were the outstanding symbols. The popular conception of fascism is that it is a creation of evil, power-drunk men, and that it can be done away with by destroying the evil men. Hitler and Mussolini are destroyed — the particular despotisms symbolized by them are crushed, gone, as if they had never been. Yet, fascism is rampant in the modern world. Fascism, Nazism, call it what you will, is not the reflex of wicked, brutal and power- drunk individuals. Rather, it is the reflex of a dying social system, a system of society that can no longer operate under the old laws and rules normal to its existence. Fascism, in its recent and current manifestation, represents the almost instinctive effort of a society in a state of social dissolution to ward off social anarchy and complete social disintegration. Capitalism has long since reached the end of its normal development. Technologically it prepared society for the classless, stateless Socialist society of production for use. It has pointed the way to the transition from rotten-ripe, chaotic capitalism to the sane new order of Socialism; it organized the workers into industrial battalions, trained and drilled them for the exercise of industrial self- government, and laid the foundation and supplied the framework of the Socialist Industrial Republic.

Lincoln, Lancaster Co., Neb.; Chicago, Ill.; Costa Rica: Editor, author, political activist Size: 2.3 cu.ft.; 3 boxes BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Born in Lincoln, Nebraska on March 4, 1905, Eric Hass attended public school and, for a time, was a student at the University of Nebraska. He worked as a waiter, cook, railroad brakeman, engine-wiper, and newspaper reporter. While working as an advertising salesman in 1928, Hass came into contact with the Socialist Labor Party. In 1930, he went on speaking tours for the Party, and in 1932, he became a National Organizer. In 1938, Hass was called to be the Editor of the Weekly People, which was the official paper of the Socialist Labor Party. He was re-elected to this office in 1940 and served as Editor until 1968 when he resigned. A year later he also resigned from the Socialist Party. Hass was the author of many pamphlets on Socialism and of a volume on the history of the Socialist Labor Party and the Internationalists. During his time in the Socialist Labor Party, Hass was the Socialist’s nominee for the President of the United States in 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964. In 1956 and 1960, he received over 46,000 votes. Other offices he ran for on the Socialist Labor Party ticket included governor of New York, United States senator from Oregon, United States senator from New York, and mayor of New York City. Following his resignation from the Socialist Labor Party, Hass joined the staff of Trinity Church in New York in 1969.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television

    A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television

    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.
