  • “Keep Our Black Warriors out of the Draft”: the Vietnam Antiwar Movement at Southern University, 1968-1973
    Educational Foundations,Marcus S. CoxWinter-Spring 2006 “Keep Our Black Warriors Out of the Draft”: The Vietnam Antiwar Movement at Southern University, 1968-1973 By Marcus S. Cox During the late 1960s and early 70s, the antiwar movement gained momentum and introduced a new wave of protest and demonstrations throughout the nation. Antiwar demonstrators clashed with law en- forcement officials, university administrators, and working-class hawks. At many colleges and universi- ties, military training programs were discontinued or in jeopardy of losing their appeal. Many individuals associated with the antiwar movement used the oppor- tunity to denounce numerous social and economic inequities that existed in American society (Isserman & Kazin, 2000). Although anti-war protest existed at Black col- leges and universities, it was quite different from the front-page confrontations at the University of Califor- Marcus S.

Much of the violence that did involve students on Black campuses directly related to civil rights protest or demonstrations involving administrative policies, not military training. Compulsory ROTC was only mentioned in addition to other civil rights issues and university complaints. Black institutions with a history of military training such as Southern, Tuskegee, Prairie View, Hampton, Virginia State, and Howard Universities, did not witness any violence as a direct result of the antiwar movement (Johnson, 2001).

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

  • The 1960S “Recessions "Are Now Generally Considered Fundamentally Preventable, Like Airplane Crashes and Hurricanes." Arthur Okun
    The 1960s “Recessions "are now generally considered fundamentally preventable, like airplane crashes and hurricanes." Arthur Okun A Setting for the Keynesian Experiment The BIG story of the 1940s and 1950s was war - WWII in the 1940s and the Cold War in the 1950s - which is why the course "skips" two decades and we pick up the story again in the 1960s. The Great Depression and WWII had "pulled" political leaders away from their comfort zone regarding the size and scope of government activity, and after a little backtracking in the 1950s, new leaders, led by "action intellectuals," pushed for a much more active role for government in the 1960s. This was to be the decade where the anti- depression policies of the 1930s morphed into anti-recession policies of the 1960s. First, however, we will fill in some background and look briefly at the 1940s and 1950s where the stage was set for the 1960s. We'll see a continuation of many of the earlier trends - industrialization, urbanization, globalization, regionalization, driven by demographics, technological change and public policies - and a reversal of a few including inequality, indebtedness, and concentration. We'll also see a new "force" that will prove to have a defining effect on the 1960s - militarization driven by the Cold War. First, though, a little history. World War II The 1940s opened with the US going to extreme lengths to avoid conflict in Europe and Asia as it reverted to its isolationist roots. The Neutrality Act of 1935 precluded any shipments of armaments to warring nations, the Neutrality Act of 1937 specified all sales to belligerents must be on a cash basis, and in 1939 arms sales were permitted only if they were not transported on American ships.
