Tip O'neill: Irish-American Representative Man (2003)
New England Journal of Public Policy Volume 28 Issue 1 Assembled Pieces: Selected Writings by Shaun Article 14 O'Connell 11-18-2015 Tip O’Neill: Irish-American Representative Man (2003) Shaun O’Connell University of Massachusetts Boston, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://scholarworks.umb.edu/nejpp Part of the Political History Commons Recommended Citation O’Connell, Shaun (2015) "Tip O’Neill: Irish-American Representative Man (2003)," New England Journal of Public Policy: Vol. 28: Iss. 1, Article 14. Available at: http://scholarworks.umb.edu/nejpp/vol28/iss1/14 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by ScholarWorks at UMass Boston. It has been accepted for inclusion in New England Journal of Public Policy by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks at UMass Boston. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Tip O’Neill: Irish American Representative Man Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, Man of the House as he aptly called himself in his 1987 memoir, stood as the quintessential Irish American representative man for half of the twentieth century. O’Neill, often misunderstood as a parochial, Irish Catholic party pol, was a shrewd, sensitive, and idealistic man who came to stand for a more inclusive and expansive sense of his region, his party, and his church. O’Neill’s impressive presence both embodied the clichés of the Irish American character and transcended its stereotypes by articulating a noble vision of inspired duty, determined responsibility, and joy in living. There was more to Tip O’Neill than met the eye, as several presidents learned. -

“The Schools Are Killing Our Kids!” the African American Fight for Self- Determination in the Boston Public Schools, 1949-1985
ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “THE SCHOOLS ARE KILLING OUR KIDS!” THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FIGHT FOR SELF- DETERMINATION IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 1949-1985 Lauren Tess Bundy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor David Freund, Department of History This dissertation examines a grassroots movement led by black Bostonians to achieve racial justice, quality education, and community empowerment in the Boston Public Schools during the postwar period. From the late 1940s through the early 1980s black parents, teachers, and students employed a wide-range of strategies in pursuit of these goals including staging school boycotts, creating freedom schools, establishing independent alternative schools, lobbying for legislation, forming parent and youth groups, and organizing hundreds of grassroots organizations. At the heart of this movement was a desire to improve the quality of education afforded to black youth and to expand the power of black Bostonians in educational governance. This dissertation demonstrates that desegregation and community control were not mutually exclusive goals or strategies of black educational activism. I examine the evolution of the goals, ideology, and strategy of this movement over the course of more than three decades in response to shifts in the national and local political climate. This work traces the close ties between this local movement in Boston and broader movements for racial and social justice unfolding across the nation in the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. Most importantly, my dissertation puts this movement in conversation with a broader national project of various marginalized groups in the postwar period to radically transform the institutions of democracy. This dissertation challenges a well-known narrative of civil rights and school desegregation in Boston in this period. -

Stay in shelter until you are advised by local government officials that it is SUFFOLK COUNTY safe to come out. MIDDLESEX COUNTY Your local Civil Defense Director and other local public officials, under the guidance of State and Federal Civil Defense Agencies, have been working for some time to develop the best plan for survival in the event of Nuclear Attack using presently available resources. The basements of many homes in this area, because of the substantial type of construction, will provide a degree of protection against radioactive fallout, with those persons not able to take shelter at home being provided space in public shelter. - The Community Shelter Plan is Option I of the Nuclear Civil Protec tion Program for Massachusetts and would be implemented if insufficient time was available for evacuating people from areas that would be subject to direct blast damage.

Boston High School Graduates' Assessments of Their High Schools
Boston High School Graduates' Assessments of Their High Schools' Role in Preparing Them for College and the Labor Market: Individual Comments from the Followup Survey of Class of 2003 Graduates Prepared by Jacqui Motroni Joseph McLaughlin Andrew Sum Center for Labor Market Studies Northeastern University Boston, MA Prepared for: Boston Private Industry Council Boston, MA March 2005 Introduction Each year since the mid-l 980s, the Boston Private Industry Council has conducted a follow-up survey of graduates from the city's public high schools. The survey of graduates from the Class of 2003 was carried out in the late winter and early spring of 2004. The follow-up survey is primarily designed to track the experiences of individual high school graduates in transitioning to college and the labor market during the first nine to ten months following graduation from high school. Since 1998, the fo llow-up questionnaire has included an open-ended question requesting respondents (including the parents of graduates) to provide an assessment of their high schools' effectiveness in preparing them for college and/or the job market. The responses to this question are coded by researchers within CLMS 1 and used to prepare a statistical analysis of the findings • A fom1al research paper summarizing and assessing the findings of an analysis of their comments also has been prepared by the authors. In this repo11, we present the specific comments provided by each individual graduate who responded to this question. Findings are displayed by high school in alphabetical order. This repo11 together with the research paper presenting the statistical analysis should be helpful to principals, counselors, career specialists, and teachers in identifying graduates' appraisals of the contributions and limitations of their high school programs.
