  • President John F. Kennedy's Visits to Cleveland Depicted by Photograph
    For Immediate Release Contact: Alyssa Purvis November 18, 2013 Communications Assistant O: 216-721-5722 ext. 1407 [email protected] President John F. Kennedy’s Visits to Cleveland Depicted by Photograph Collection in WRHS Research Library Images donated by Ray T. Miller, head of Cuyahoga County Democratic Party for over 20 years, capture multiple Cleveland appearances by JFK in the years preceding his assassination CLEVELAND, OH – The odds of interacting with the President of the United States today are slim. Security is endless, making it difficult to even catch a glimpse of the country’s Commander-In-Chief. Take one look at the images in the Ray T. Miller collection at Western Reserve Historical Society, and it will become obvious that times were much different during a presidential campaign in the late 1950s. The images in the collection document John F. Kennedy’s multiple visits to the Cleveland area during the years preceding and during his presidency. In many of the photos, Mrs. Kennedy is seen accompanying the President as he is surrounded by hundreds of Cleveland residents. Crowds can be seen anxiously awaiting President Kennedy’s arrival at multiple locations across town; the airport, a podium in Public Square, or a steer roast at Euclid Beach Park. The images are available to be viewed by visitors in the Research Library at the WRHS History Center in University Circle. The photos from the Miller Collection prove to be even more interesting to visitors this year, the year marking the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination. Kennedy campaigned throughout Ohio and while doing so, he congregated with prominent Clevelanders such as Carl B.

    Fighting Back Against the Cold War: The American Committee on East-West Accord and the Retreat from Détente A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Benjamin F.C. Wallace May 2013 © 2013 Benjamin F.C. Wallace. All Rights Reserved 2 This thesis titled Fighting Back Against the Cold War: The American Committee on East-West Accord and the Retreat from Détente by BENJAMIN F.C. WALLACE has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT WALLACE, BENJAMIN F.C., M.A., May 2013, History Fighting Back Against the Cold War: The American Committee on East-West Accord and the Retreat From Détente Director of Thesis: Chester J. Pach This work traces the history of the American Committee on East-West Accord and its efforts to promote policies of reduced tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s. This organization of elite Americans attempted to demonstrate that there was support for policies of U.S.-Soviet accommodation and sought to discredit its opponents, especially the Committee on the Present Danger. This work argues that the Committee, although largely failing to achieve its goals, illustrates the wide-reaching nature of the debate on U.S.-Soviet relations during this period, and also demonstrates the enduring elements of the U.S.-Soviet détente of the early 1970s.
