  • Dewitt Clinton High School As Scholastic Model of Postwar Racial Progression and African American Leadership
    Journal of Higher Education Athletics & Innovation Volume 1, Issue 7 Basketball, Books, And Brotherhood: Dewitt Clinton High School as Scholastic Model of Postwar Racial Progression and African American Leadership Arthur Banton Department of History Tennessee Technological University Abstract: In 1950, the City College of New York (CCNY) became the first racially integrated team to win the national championship of college basketball. Three of the players on that team, Arthur Glass, Mike Wittlin, and Ed Warner, attended DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, New York. At the time Clinton High School was one of the most academically rigorous public schools in the city and the United States. During this postwar period, nearly one third of Clinton graduates attended college at a time when the national high school graduation rate stood at 20%. Unlike most high schools in the United States, Clinton was racially integrated with more than 20% of the student body identifying as African American. Like their contemporaries, Black students were encouraged to pursue opportunities that seemed unthinkable in an era of racial stratification. As a result, Clinton produced several Black students armed with the skills to navigate the terrain of prejudice and other social barriers. DeWitt Clinton High School was a model for interracial brotherhood while also fostering Black leadership. The Black athletes who attended CCNY were better prepared for the transition of competing on a racially integrated college team, can be partially attributed to their secondary schooling at DeWitt Clinton. This article examines the racial climate of DeWitt Clinton during the postwar years when the three young men were in attendance and how it fostered a culture of Basketball, Books, and Brotherhood.

  • National Significance and Historical Context
    2.1 2 National Signifi cance and Historical Context NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERVIEW Th e Erie Canal is the most successful and infl uential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America. It facilitated and shaped the course of settlement of the North- east, Midwest, and Great Plains, knit together the Atlantic Seaboard with the area west of the Appalachian Mountains, solidifi ed New York City’s place as the young nation’s principal seaport and commercial center, and became a central element forging the national identity. New York’s canal system, including the Erie Canal and its laterals – principally the Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca Canals – opened the interior of the continent. Built through the only low-level gap between the Appalachian Mountain chain and the Adirondack Mountains, the Erie Canal provided one of the principal routes for migration and an economical and reliable means for transporting agricultural products and manufactured goods between the American interior, the eastern seaboard, and Europe. Th e Erie Canal was a heroic feat of early 19th century engineering and construc- tion, and at 363 miles long, more than twice the length of any canal in Europe. Photo: It was without precedent in North America, designed and built through sparsely Postcard image of canal basin in Clinton Square, Syracuse, ca. 1905 settled territory by surveyors, engineers, contractors, and laborers who had to learn much of their craft on the job. Engineers and builders who got their start on New York’s canals went on to construct other canals, railroads, and public water supplies throughout the new nation.

  • Dewitt Clinton's Dream
    Dewitt Clinton’s Dream Perinton and points west were the great frontier in the late 1700’s. Traveling by land was treacherous. Vast swamps, forests, and difficult terrain were a discouraging deterrent to western migration. Dewitt Clinton held many political offices, including Mayor of New York City, State Senator, and Governor. He was the most vocal and persistent champion of a canal to connect the Hudson River with Lake Erie. Clinton’s dream had few supporters, and many detractors. Thomas Jefferson, principal author of the Declaration of Independence, third President of the United States, and an intellect of the highest order, did not support the construction of New York’s great canal, saying, "It is a splendid project, and may be executed a century hence." Perinton Historical Society members on a canal trip in September of 1958. In his tireless efforts to gain support for the construction of the Erie Canal, Dewitt Clinton wrote the following passage, referred to by canal historian Roy G. Finch in 1925 as “Governor Dewitt Clinton’s Dream”: “As a bond of union between Atlantic and Western states, it may prevent the dismemberment of the American Empire. As an organ of communication between the Hudson, the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence, the Great Lakes of the north and west and their tributary rivers, it will create the greatest inland trade ever witnessed. The most fertile and extensive regions of America will avail themselves of its facilities for a market. All their surplus productions, whether of the soil, the forest, the mines, or the water, their fabrics of art and their supplies of foreign communities, will concentrate in the city of New York, for transportation abroad or consumption at home.

  • Dewitt Clinton Dewitt Clinton’S Political Career Began When He and the Country Were Very Young
    Famous New Yorker: DeWitt Clinton DeWitt Clinton’s political career began when he and the country were very young. He worked the rest of his life to help his state and nation grow stronger. DeWitt Clinton was born in Little Britain, Orange County, in British-ruled New York on March 2, 1769. During the American Revolution, while DeWitt attended grammar school and the Kingston Academy, his father was a general in the Continental Army, and his uncle was governor of New York. After the war, DeWitt was the first graduate of Columbia College. Family ties made politics his main interest. His uncle, Governor Clinton, wanted New York to build canals to strengthen trade ties within the state. As an anti-Federalist, he feared that the Constitution of 1787 would hurt state govern- ments. DeWitt agreed with his uncle and wrote anonymous anti-Federalist newspaper articles, but ultimately accepted the new federal government. After his older brother died, DeWitt became his uncle’s private secretary. By the age of twenty, he was secretary of the boards of regents and fortification. He worked for the govern- Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division ment until his uncle retired in 1795. He lost his first election [reproduction number, LC-USZ62-50394] one year later, but won an Assembly seat in 1797. In 1798, DeWitt Clinton advanced to the state Senate. In 1801, the Assembly named him to the Council of Appointments that ratified the governor's nominations for state offices. Clinton believed councilors should make nominations themselves. A constitutional convention agreed, increasing Clinton's political influence.
