  • 2012 OAH/NCPH ANNUAL MEETING • MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN • 1 At-A-Glance Schedule of Events
    Welcome Our joint OAH/NCPH program committee this year faced an unusual set of challenges. It began meeting as controversies over Wisconsin’s budget broke into protest movements against austerity cuts and the rights of Wisconsin’s public employees to bargain collectively. These reactions raised questions about the meaning and practice of democracy in a nation where state and national governments found themselves guided by the principles of free-market capitalism. We had, by then, already selected the overall theme of the meeting, “Frontiers of Capitalism and Democracy,” with a view to reflecting on what our call for papers described as the tensions and complementaries of capitalism and democracy at “frontier” moments in the past. Our program Photo by Eileen Baroso committee, co-chaired by Nancy MacLean and Kathleen Franz, now faced the possibility that we were living in such a “frontier” moment and rose to the challenge of exploring the issues in all their dimen- sions. We believe that you will find the program this year unusually provocative and filled with food to nurture the mind and soul. Our program contains an array of history and public history sessions designed to satisfy a variety of tastes. We have constructed thematic threads that will especially appeal to teachers at all levels, and we offer sessions of particular interest to those who live and work in Wisconsin as well as to those who want to understand the historical roots of contemporary issues. We have invited senior historians to offer challenging interpretive papers, and younger scholars and public history practitioners eager to try out new work.

    September 5, 2008 The Honorable Harry Reid Majority Leader United States Senate 528 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Mitch McConnell Minority Leader United States Senate 461-A Russell Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Majority Leader Reid and Republican Leader McConnell: Last year, the National Archives located a July 7, 1863 letter written by President Abraham Lincoln concerning the Civil War, which was described by the Archives as a “significant find.” The discovery of this short note, written over 150 years ago, occasioned extraordinary interest and excitement. Modern presidents have generated millions upon millions of documents that are critical to an understanding of our nation’s past. Yet unless Congress takes action to safeguard these materials, many of them may be lost to future generations. In 1978, Congress reacted to the Watergate scandal by enacting the Presidential Records Act. The PRA requires the president to “take all such steps as may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of his constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties are adequately documented and that such records are maintained as Presidential records.” Unfortunately, while the PRA requires the preservation of presidential records, it fails to provide an effective means of enforcing compliance with that requirement. The consequences of that failure have only recently become clear, with the revelation that millions of White House email messages generated between October 2003 and March 2005 are missing. Little to no effort has been made to recover the missing messages, and many, if not all, may now be permanently lost.

  • Making a New Deal Second Edition
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88748-9 - Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919-1939: Second Edition Lizabeth Cohen Frontmatter More information Making a New Deal Second Edition This book examines how it was possible and what it meant for ordinary factory workers to become effective unionists and national political participants by the mid-1930s. Lizabeth Cohen follows Chicago workers as they make choices about whether to attend ethnic benefit society meetings or go to the movies, whether to shop in local neighborhood stores or patronize the new A&R Although work- ers may not have been political in traditional terms during the Twenties, as they made daily decisions like these, they declared their loyalty in ways that would ultimately have political significance. As the depression worsened in the 1930s, not only did workers find their pay and working hours cut or eliminated, but the survival strategies they had developed during the 1920s were undermined. Looking elsewhere for help, workers adopted new ideological perspectives and overcame longstanding divisions among themselves to mount new kinds of col- lective action. Chicago workers' experiences as citizens, ethnics and blacks, wage earners and consumers all converged to make them into New Deal Democrats and CIO unionists. First printed in 1990, Making a New Deal has become an established classic in American history. This second edition includes a new preface by the author. Lizabeth Cohen is the Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies in the history department of Harvard University. She is also the author of A Consumers3 Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America (2003) and coauthor, with David M.

The most prosperous twelve months ever, capping the country's fourth straight year of economic expansion, were attributable to the American consumer, "who continued spending as if there were no tomorrow." According to Time's economics lesson, consumers, business, and government "created a nonvicious circle: spending created more production, production created wealth, wealth created more spending." In this simplified Keynesian model of economic growth, "the consumer is the key to our economy." As R. H. Macy's board chair Jack Straus explained to Time's readers, "When the country has a recession, it suffers not so much from problems of production as from problems of consumption." And in prosperous times like today, "Our economy keeps growing because our ability to consume is endless.

  • The Long Civil Rights Movement and the Political Uses of the Past
    The Long Civil Rights Movement and the Political Uses of the Past Jacquelyn Dowd Hall The black revolution is much more than a struggle for the rights of Negroes. It is forcing America to face all its interrelated flaws—racism, poverty, militarism, and materialism. It is exposing evils that are rooted deeply in the whole structure of our society . and su^ests that radical reconstruction of society is the real issue to be faced. —Martin Luther King Jr. Stories are wonderful things. And they are dangerous. —Thomas King The civil rights movement circulates through American memory in forms and through channels that are at once powerful, dangerous, and hotly contested. Givil rights memorials jostle with the South's ubiquitous monuments to its Confederate past. Exemplary scholarship and documentaries abound, and participants have pro- duced wave after wave of autobiographical accounts, at least two hundred to date. Images of the movement appear and reappear each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and during Black History Month. Yet remembrance is always a form of forget- ting, and the dominant narrative of the civil rights movement—distilled from history and memory, twisted by ideology and political contestation, and embedded in heri- tage tours, museums, public rituals, textbooks, and various artifacts of mass cul- ture—distorts and suppresses as much as it reveals.' Jacquelyn Dowd Hall is Julia Cherry Spruill Professor of History at the University of North Carolina and director of the Southern Oral History Program. This article is a revised version of the presidcnrial address delivered to the convention of the Organization of American Historians in Boston on March 27, 2004.
