  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    A. B. “HAPPY” CHANDLER AND THE POLITICS OF CIVIL RIGHTS by JOHN PAUL HILL (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complex civil rights views of Albert Benjamin “Happy” Chandler, one of Kentucky’s most controversial and charismatic politicians of the twentieth century. To offer perspective on his positions, this study focuses on Chandler’s statements and actions during several important periods in civil rights history. Chandler served two terms as governor (1935-1939, 1955-1959). During the first, the NAACP launched its first concerted campaign to desegregate the University of Kentucky. During the second, whites in two western Kentucky communities violently protested efforts to desegregate local schools in compliance with the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. Between his two terms as governor, Chandler served six years in the United States Senate (1939-1945) and six years as commissioner of Major League Baseball (1945-1951). As a member of the Senate, Chandler voted on antilynching legislation and on two bills designed to eliminate the poll tax in state and federal elections. During his term as commissioner, the game’s entrenched, longstanding ban on interracial play collapsed when Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In 1968, nine years after he had last held elective office, Chandler nearly became the running mate of George C. Wallace, the arch-segregationist former governor of Alabama who was pursuing the presidency under the banner of the American Independent Party. Despite his flirtation with Wallace, Chandler’s overall handling of the important civil rights matters of the day clearly distinguished him from most of his southern political colleagues.

  • 'A Sickening Red Tinge': the Daily Worker's Fight Against White Baseball"
    "'A Sickening Red Tinge': The Daily Worker's Fight Against White Baseball" Kelly Rusinack and Chris Lamb On Sunday, August 16, 1936, under the headline, "Fans Ask End of Jim Crow Baseball," the Sunday Worker pronounced: "Jim Crow baseball must end." Thus began the Communist Party newspaper's campaign to end discrimination in the national pastime.1 The unbylined story, written by sports editor Lester Rodney, questioned the fairness of segregated baseball. Rodney believed that black ballplayers from the Negro Leagues would improve the quality of play in the major leagues. He appealed to readers to demand that the national pastime -- particularly team owners, or "magnates" as the Copyright © 1999 by Kelly Rusinack, Chris Lamb, and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 Rusinack and Lanb 2 newspaper called them -- admit black ballplayers: "Fans, it's up to you! Tell the big league magnates that you're sick of the poor pitching in the American League." "Big league ball is on the downgrade, "Rodney declared, "You pay the high prices. Demand better ball. Demand Americanism in baseball, equal opportunities for Negro and white stars."2 Over the next decade, the Daily Worker brashly challenged the baseball establishment to permit black players; condemned white owners and managers for perpetuating the color ban; organized petition drives and distributed anti-discrimination pamphlets outside ballparks; and criticized the mainstream press for ignoring the race issue. The CP forced the issue in front of the baseball establishment, raised awareness about the color line among social progressives, and lobbied local and state politicians in New York. As Rodney explained: "We were the only non-black newspaper writing about it for a long time."3 3.

  • Too Voluminous, in Fact
    1961 BOOK REVIEWS 201 ployed in the first two volumes prevail in this third volume of the Lincoln chronology. A particularly useful feature is the 136-page index applying to all three volumes, whose topical entries should prove of inestimable value to the Lincoln scholar. Chatham College J. Cutler Andrews Baseball —The Early Years. By Harold Seymour. (New York: Oxford University Press, 1960. Pp. 373. Index 365-373. $7.50.) Many volumes have been written about baseball and in most instances they have been devoted to the players,— their fielding and batting records,— with appropriate anecdotes true or fictitious. Baseball The Early Years by Harold Seymour, however, is a book relating the history and development of the game, from its beginning in 1839 (which the author disputes with documentary evidence) to the formation of the American League in 1901. The tribulations, trials, internal wars and— jealousies among club owners are set forth in quite complete detail too voluminous, in fact. The truly glamorous era of baseball followed the advent of the American League, from 1901 to the present day, a period in which the game has expanded and grown tremendously. Itmight be assumed that the author intends to write another volume on the later phases of baseball. This book is of greatest interest to real old-timers, those whose memories go back 50 to 60 years. Itis to be doubted if the youth of the country is concerned with events from 1839 to 1900. Such figures of the rough and ready days as Anson, Brush, Soden, Doubleday, Clarkson, Ebbetts, Hugh Duffy, Buck Ewing, Hanlon, McGraw, Connie Mack, Radbourne, Cy Young and many others, lend a romantic air to a time in baseball which roughly cor- responds to the days of the Wild West.

  • Jews and Black Baseball by Rebecca T. Alpert (Review)
    Out of Left Field: Jews and Black Baseball by Rebecca T. Alpert (review) William M. Simons American Jewish History, Volume 97, Number 3, July 2013, pp. 315-317 (Article) Published by The Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: 10.1353/ajh.2013.0027 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/ajh/summary/v097/97.3.simons.html Access provided by Temple University (31 Aug 2013 13:00 GMT) Book Reviews Out of Left Field: Jews and Black Baseball. By Rebecca T. Alpert. New York: Oxford University Press, 2011. ix + 236 pp. Coming of age, Rebecca Alpert heard from her family and Reform temple that the major league baseball debut of Jackie Robinson in 1947 represented a validation of American democracy, a victory facilitated by Judaism’s commitment to social justice. She later recognized, how- ever, that continued inequality muted black celebration of Robinson’s achievement. As Jews evolved from race to white ethnic group in the national culture, they failed to fully comprehend that anti-black rac- ism would prove far more intractable than American anti-Semitism. The common trajectory of Jewish assimilation and economic upward mobility did not prove normative for African Americans. Alpert argues that blacks, like Jews, accepted stereotypes of the other that impacted interaction between the two groups in America and its national pastime. For centuries, restrictions and prejudice had relegated European Jews to circumscribed spheres, sometimes as rent collectors, moneylenders, and traders, positioned precariously between dominant elites and resent- ful workers. In the United States, numbers of Jewish shopkeepers and landlords appeared to retain attributes of that uncomfortable middleman status in black neighborhoods.
