  • ANNUAL REPORT 2007 a Year of Historic Change PAGE 1 the SENTENCING PROJECT ANNUAL REPORT 2007
    ANNUAL REPORT 2007 A Year of Historic Change PAGE 1 THE SENTENCING PROJECT ANNUAL REPORT 2007 A YEAR OF HISTORIC CHANGE In 2007 The Sentencing Project took full advantage of the newly emerging bipartisan movement for change occasioned by a renewed focus on evidence-based policies and concern about fiscal realities. Years of organizing by The Sentencing Project and our coalition partners created hope for reform of policies that had been challenged for years with little success. When opportunity knocked, The Sentencing Project was at the door. Historic changes were made to the patently unjust and racially biased federal sentences for crack cocaine offenses, more than twenty years after their adoption. The Sentencing Project has challenged these unfair policies for years with research to highlight the racial disparities produced by the federal mandatory sentences for crack, and the tremendous burden that families from already economically disadvantaged communities experience as a result. Change took place at nearly every point of the system. The U.S. Sentencing Commission lowered the guideline sentences for crack offenses, and subsequently made the change retroactive, making 19,500 people eligible to apply for sentence reductions that are expected to average about two years. The U.S. Supreme Court then ruled that federal judges were permitted to take into account the unfairness of the 100-to-1 quantity ratio for powder vs. crack cocaine when imposing sentences for crack offenses. Reform bills were introduced by Democrats and Republicans in both houses of Congress. The Sentencing Project’s efforts to remove barriers to voting by the more than 5 million people in the United States with felony convictions who are disenfranchised also moved forward.

JESSE JACKSON AND THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT Harold A. McDougall* I. INTRODUCTION Despite great strides by its middle class, black America today is plagued by drugs, homelessness, AIDS, and murder and is at greatest risk from the fallout of a crumbling environment. 1 The old Civil Rights Movement, which focused on anti-discrimination law, is in need of replacement by a strategy which ena- bles African-Americans to struggle over resources in the political arena. The increase in voting in the African-American community, partly a function of the Voting Rights Act and partly a function of the inspiration of Jesse Jackson, has laid the foundation for such a development, as evidenced by the Black Caucus and the Presidential campaign of Reverend Jackson himself. Ironically, the con- frontational style of the old Civil Rights Movement remains one of its strong- est legacies and needs to be revived as part of an overall strategy which includes more genteel maneuvering in the halls of power.

IRONIC ENCOUNTER: AFRICAN-AMERICANS, AMERICAN JEWS, AND THE CHURCH- STATE RELATIONSHIP Dena S. Davis* I. INTRODUCTION This Essay examines a paradox in contemporary American society. Jewish voters are overwhelmingly liberal and much more likely than non- Jewish white voters to support an African-American candidate., Jewish voters also staunchly support the greatest possible separation of church * Assistant Professor, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. For critical readings of earlier drafts of this Essay, the author is indebted to Erwin Chemerinsky, Stephen W. Gard, Roger D. Hatch, Stephan Landsman, and Peter Paris. For assistance with resources, the author obtained invaluable help from Michelle Ainish at the Blaustein Library of the American Jewish Committee, Joyce Baugh, Steven Cohen, Roger D. Hatch, and especially her research assistant, Christopher Janezic. This work was supported by a grant from the Cleveland-Marshall Fund. 1. In the 1982 California gubernatorial election, Jewish voters gave the African- American candidate, Tom Bradley, 75% of their vote; Jews were second only to African- Americans in their support for Bradley, exceeding even Hispanics, while the majority of the white vote went for the white Republican candidate, George Deukmejian.

  • And “KUMBAYA” IS NOT OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM
    “THE BULLY’S PULPIT” and “KUMBAYA” IS NOT OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM I have no way of knowing all the facts regarding the New Jersey scandal swirling around Gov. Chris Christie, but I certainly have my suspicions. As the story goes, in retaliation for Fort Lee’s Mayor Mark Sokolich’s refusal to support Christie in his bid for re-election, Christie’s deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly ordered several lanes of the George Washington Bridge shut down, allegedly for the sake of a traffic study. In his defense, Christie insisted he knew nothing about it, claiming that Ms. Kelly betrayed his trust. That would be easier to swallow if we hadn’t lived through several years of Barack Obama insisting that he knew nothing about his own various scandals until he read about them in a newspaper. Would Christie have us believe that during the four days of lane closures, and the thousands of calls his office must have received, he never once bothered looking into it? We’re not children. We all know that the boss creates the atmosphere in which his underlings exist. The boss needn’t risk leaving a paper trail, he only has to make his feelings known. In his press conference, Christie defended himself by stating, “I am not a bully.” An unfortunate choice of words. For one thing, it reminded a lot of people of Nixon’s “I am not a crook.” For another, only bullies ever have reason to deny being one. And, finally, Christie’s political appeal is that he is a bully who doesn’t suffer fools or unions gladly.

Jesse Jackson's Candidacy For President On Pluralistic Politics: Implications For Community Action By James Craigen Howard University School of Social Work INTRODUCT ION This essay addresses the significant changes in power relationships brought about by the candidacy of the Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson for President of the United States. Specifically, itwill attempt to focus on themes or issues reflecting the impact of his entry into the contest for the Democratic nomination as a viable Black candidate in November 1983, and the consequent re- definition of power relationships which occurred not only within the Democratic Party, but between Blacks and Whites, Blacks and Jews, Black elected and appointed officials, and his effort on relative deprivation among the people in the Rainbow coalition that he represented. Therefore, issues of racism, coalition building, networking (specifically, within the Black church), leverage, pluralistic politics, and the role of the media in im- age-making and image-breaking will be touched upon.

Chappell gives college instructors an engaging means to discuss the civil rights movement in the two decades after King's death. Chappell argues that freedom did not come from the 1964 Civil Rights Act or the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Instead, it came when civil rights activists regrouped after King's murder to continue the fight. To Chappell, freedom is achieved by remaining alert to threats and protecting freedoms already won from atrophy. Activists after King, notably his widow, Coretta Scott King, worked to win the Fair Housing Act, full employment legislation, and a King national holiday. Challenges came from infighting, character assassinations on King, and King's marital infidelity and plagiarism. The chapters can stand alone, although they are woven together by King's memory. The National Black Political Convention (NBPC) of 1972, the largest political gathering in African American history, attempted to institutionalize the civil rights movement. Ralph Abernathy, King's designated successor, sought to take control of the movement but lacked the energy and charisma to do so. Chappell's treatment of Abernathy throughout the book is unusually sharp but not unwarranted. The effort to build a unified national black political body collapsed because of disagreements about whether the movement needed a leader, who should lead, and what agenda should be pursued.

  • The Chicago Freedom Movement Photography Exhibit by Bernard J
    HOPE Fair Housing Center 2100 Manchester Road, Building C, Suite 1620 Wheaton, IL 60187 The Chicago Freedom Movement Photography Exhibit By Bernard J. Kleina In Chicago in 1965 and 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders focused the Chicago Freedom Movement on open housing. Thousands of people participated in the marches and rallies in Soldier Field, Marquette Park, Grant Park and in front of Chicago City Hall. This was the first large scale fair housing campaign in the country and the most ambitious civil rights campaign in the North. It placed the issue of equal opportunity in housing not just before the people of Chicago, but also before the Nation. Mr. Kleina’s rarely seen color photographs document the 1965-66 Freedom Movement’s peaceful demonstrations’ call for open housing. The exhibit celebrates the efforts of Dr. King and other civil rights leaders and includes images of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Coretta Scott-King; the Rev. Jesse Jackson; former Atlanta Mayor and UN Ambassador, Andrew Young; comedian activist, Dick Gregory; gospel singer, Mahalia Jackson; and former Southern Christian Leadership Council President, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, as well as thousands of peaceful demonstrators involved in these historic rallies and marches. The photographs also capture many of those who attempted to disrupt these peaceful marches. Mr. Kleina’s photography exhibit on the Chicago Freedom Movement is being shown throughout the country. His photographs should encourage us not only to look back at where we have been, but also to reflect on the challenges we face and the direction we are taking as a Nation.
