  • Garland's Million: the Radical Experiment To
    October 14, 2019 To: ABF Legal History Seminar From: John Fabian Witt Re: October 23 seminar Thanks so much for looking at my drafts and coming to my session! I’m thrilled to have been invited to Chicago. I am attaching chapters 5 and 8 from my book-in-progress, tentatively titled Garland’s Million: The Radical Experiment to Save American Democracy. The book is the story of an organization known informally as the Garland Fund or formally as the American Fund for Public Service: a philanthropic foundation established in 1922 to give money to liberal and left causes. The Fund figures prominently in the history of civil rights lawyering because of its role setting in motion the early stages of the NAACP’s litigation campaign that led a quarter-century later to Brown v. Board of Education. I hope you will be able to get some sense of the project from the crucial chapters I’ve attached here. These chapters come from Part 2 of the book. Part 1 focuses on Roger Baldwin, the founder of the ACLU and the principal energy behind the Fund. Part 2 (including the chapters here) focuses on James Weldon Johnson, who ran the NAACP during the 1920s and was a board member of the Fund. Parts 3 and 4 turn respectively to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (a labor radical on the board) and Felix Frankfurter, who in the 1920s served as a key outside consultant and counsel to the Fund. To set the stage, readers have learned in Part 1 about Baldwin as a disillusioned reformer, who advocated progressive programs like the initiative and referendum only to see direct democracy produce a wave of white supremacist initiatives.

Bland: The Collective Struggle for the Negro Rights: 1915-1940 THE COLLECTIVE STRUGGLE FOR NEGRO RIGHTS: 1915-1940 RANDALL WALTON BLAND* Following the Civil War, the newly-freed slave in the United States became disoriented and frustrated in a social structure not of his own making. The Negro, especially in the South, found himself in an en- vironment during the Reconstruction period almost as hostile as slavery. The Ku Klux Klan employed terror and violence to keep him in the lowest level of society. Southern land owners manipulated Negro workers in a peonage system that was little better than slavery itself, while "mobs drove Negro voters from the polls, and the lynch rope kept the Negro men from being men."' Deep concern over human dignity, self-preserva- tion, civil rights and true meaningful freedom led the American Negro to seek collective action.

  • The Negro and the Ownership of Property: an Examination of Naacp Strategy in the Restrictive Covenant Cases
    THE NEGRO AND THE OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY: AN EXAMINATION OF NAACP STRATEGY IN THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT CASES THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of Southwest Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement For the Degree of Master of Arts BY Michael Robert Heintze, B.A. (Austin, Texas) San Marcos, Texas AugU,st, 1974 This work is dedicated to my parents; Albert and Bernice Heintze. Their countless sacrifices helped make this study a reality. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the course of completing this study, I have accumulated a multitide of intellectual debts. However, during the nine months since I began to study the history of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Restriotive Covenant Cases, I have been guided and sustained by three individuals. First, I am deeply indebted to Dr. Everette Swinney. As the chair­ man of my thesis committee, Dr. Swinney's leadership, stimulation, and judgement have been a constant source of professional enrichment. without his thoughtful assis­ tance, this work would have been virtually impossible. I am also grateful for the clear, constructive advice of Dr. W. W. Anderson. I owe a partioular debt of gratitude to Dr. Randall W. Bland, who kindled my interest in con­ stitutional law and provided the impetus for this study. In addition, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Miss Jocelyn Koch for her patient and effi­ cient clerical assistance, which proved to be an in­ valuable asset throughout. Finally, to my wife, Cheryl, who has been frugal, kind, and a constant store of support, I want to say thank you for everything.
