  • BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY Department of Archives and Manuscripts
    BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY Department of Archives and Manuscripts Connor, Theophilus Eugene 'Bull' Papers, 1951, 1957-1963 Background: Theophilus Eugene Connor was born in Dallas County, Alabama in 1897. Trained as a telegraph operator, Connor settled in Birmingham in the 1920s and worked as a radio sports announcer. Capitalizing on his popularity with radio listeners and his well-known nickname (,Bull'), Connor entered politics in 1934 and was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives. Connor was elected Public Safety Commissioner of Birmingham in 1937, a position that gave him administrative authority over the city's police and fire departments, public schools, public health and the public libraries. He held this position until 1954, and held the position again from 1958 to 1963 when he was forced from office by a change in the city form of government. During his long political career Connor ran two unsuccessful campaigns for governor of Alabama and was a leader of the 1948 Dixiecrat revolt. From 1964 to 1973 he served as President of the Alabama Public Service Commission, the state agency that regulates public utilities. Connor died in Birmingham in 1973. Eugene 'Bull' Connor is most famous for his staunch defense of racial segregation and for ordering the use of police dogs and fire hoses to disperse civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham during the spring of 1963. Scope and Content: These papers, which consist of letters, memoranda, clippings, photographs, and reports are the office files kept by Connor during his last five years as Commissioner of Public Safety. The papers from Connor's earlier terms were destroyed when he left office in 1954.

  • Crisis Over Berlin
    Crisis Over Berlin A Study Produced by the Historical Office, United States Department of State1 Crisis over Berlin was produced by the Historical Office of the Department of State at the request of Martin J. Hillenbrand, a senior Foreign Service Officer and scholar of Germany. Hillenbrand requested the document in his capacity as Deputy Head of the Berlin Task Force (BTF), an interagency body charged with coordinating responses to the Berlin crisis. Hillenbrand’s formal request of March 4, 1963 notes that the BTF found military histories of the crisis operationally helpful. Hillenbrand also hoped a State Department project focusing on the diplomatic aspects of the crisis would be, “useful in the future when the history of this particular foreign policy problem comes to be written.”2 The Historical Office accepted the tasking on March 22, 1963. Dr. Arthur Kogan was relieved of his other duties to fulfill Hillenbrand’s request. In conversation with Kogan, Hillenbrand emphasized the historical import of the project, requesting a “thorough” account of “some length.”3 Kogan received extensive access to highly classified Department of State documents for the purpose of creating the most comprehensive possible account. To address Hillenbrand’s request for a comprehensive account, Kogan designed an eight-part study covering the period November 1958-December 1962. Kogan transmitted the draft of Part I to Hillenbrand on August 21, 1964. Hillenbrand extensively involved himself in the project, critiquing Part I in detail. Kogan noted, “Your comments and suggestions regarding Part I were most helpful and they have been fully taken into account in the drafting of the final version.”4 While waiting for Hillenbrand’s comments on Part I, Kogan finished drafts of Parts II, III, and IV.
