Mildred Jeffrey Papers Mildred Jeffrey Collection Papers, 1930-1984 (Predominantly, 1950s-1970s) 63 linear feet Accession # 300 DALNET # OCLC # Mildred “Millie” Jeffrey was born in Alton, Iowa on December 29, 1910 into a family of independent, hardworking women. Her grandmother ran the family farm and raised sixteen children after her husband died. Her mother, Bertha McWilliams, who raised Milly, the oldest, and six other children, became Iowa's first female registered pharmacist in 1908 and owned a drugstore in Alton and later in Minneapolis. Ms. Jeffrey's campaign against social injustice began in 1928 when she joined the left- leaning Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the YWCA while a student at the University of Minnesota. The Y, which organized interracial dances, hosted controversial speakers, and attempted to integrate restaurants, had a reputation as one of the most radical student groups on campus. After graduating in 1932, she attended Bryn Mawr College, receiving a master’s degree from the Department of Social Economy and Social Research in 1934. She worked for the next year as a special investigator for the National Recovery Administration and then took a job organizing for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in Philadelphia, trying to recruit as many millworkers as possible before the inevitable firing or arrest. Eventually, she became educational director of the Pennsylvania Joint Board of Shirt Workers. In 1936, she married fellow Amalgamated organizer Homer Newman Jeffrey, and the two of them traveled throughout the South and East organizing textile workers. During World War II, the Jeffreys both worked in Washington as consultants to the War Labor Board, where they became close friends with the Reuther brothers. When Mildred and Newman Jeffrey moved to Detroit in 1944, Victor Reuther offered her a job as director of the newly formed UAW Women's Bureau; she reluctantly accepted only after a neighbor agreed to care for her two young children. As the UAW’s first female department head, Mildred Jeffrey gained a forum for her lifelong commitment to equal rights for women not only in society and the workplace, but in the union as well. She organized the first UAW women’s conference in response to the massive postwar layoffs of women production workers replaced by returning veterans. From 1949 until 1954, she ran the union's radio station, after which she moved on to direct the Community Relations Department. Her last post with the UAW was as Director of the Consumer Affairs Department from 1968 until her retirement in 1976. Mildred Jeffrey Collection - 2 - Mildred Jeffrey had been active in Democratic Party politics from the time she arrived in Detroit, serving as a precinct delegate, state central committee member, and national committeewoman. Preferring to spend her energy on the grunt work of politics -- leafleting, organizing, telephone canvassing, and fundraising -- she did not run for public office until 1974, when she was elected to the Wayne State University Board of Governors, an office she held for sixteen years. Her commitment to equal rights for women and minorities did not abate after her retirement from the UAW in 1976. As early as 1948 she began campaigning for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. As a founding member and chair of the National Women's Political Caucus, NOW’s political arm, she supported female candidates for public office and was an original board member of the Michigan Women's Foundation. In seeking social justice and equality for all people, Mildred Jeffrey has spent a lifetime in committee and organizational work on behalf of civil rights, education, health care, youth employment, and recreation issues. The papers of Mildred Jeffrey consist of correspondence, reports, minutes, speeches, UAW convention materials, clippings, articles, and political, labor, and feminist publications. Related material may be found in the UAW Community Relations Department: Mildred Jeffrey Collection. A transcript of an oral interview with Mildred Jeffrey may be found in the 20th Century Trade Union Woman series of oral histories on deposit at the Reuther Library.

  • Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie—Slowly
    Alabama: Commandments, Amendments, and Defendants Patrick R. Cotter Alabama’s 2004 election was a quiet affair. Signs that a presidential campaign was occurring—candidate visits, partisan rallies, hard-hitting tele- vision commercials, or get-out-the-vote efforts—were largely missing from the state. The outcome of Alabama’s U.S. Senate race was a forgone conclu- sion from the beginning of the year. All of the state’s congressmen were easily reelected. Contests for the few state offices up for election in 2004 were generally both invisible and uncompetitive. The only part of the ballot that generated any interest—and even here it was limited—involved a pro- posed amendment to Alabama’s already long state constitution. Alabama’s 2004 election was also a clear Republican victory. Republi- cans George W. Bush and Richard Shelby easily carried the state in the presidential and U.S. Senate elections. The GOP kept it 5-to-2 advantage in Congressional seats. Republicans swept all the contested positions on the state Supreme Court. Alabama’s 2004 election campaign was not the first time the state had experienced a quiet presidential campaign. Nor was it the first in which Republicans did quite well. Both the 1988 and 2000 campaigns were also low-key affairs. Both were also campaigns that the GOP clearly won. These earlier low-key, Republican-winning, presidential campaigns did not significantly alter the state’s partisan politics. Rather, the close partisan balance that has characterized the state since the 1980s continued beyond these elections. (For descriptions of these earlier campaigns and analyses of recent Alabama politics see Cotter 1991; Cotter 2002; Ellington 1999; Cotter and Gordon 1999 and Stanley 2003).

This examination used a collection of numerous sources, primary and secondary. Newspapers served as the most important tool for discovering why the new suburbs aligned to Republicanism. The sources describe a suburban area that aligned with the Republican Party due to numerous reasons: race, Eisenhower’s popularity, the Cold War, and economic issues.

Yet the college is producing a Bvibrant conglomerate of opportunities for and alumni to become engaged students to move out of their comfort zone and to become aware of the political activities in activity for the public good available on the campus and in the community. “It’s difficult to separate the intellectual, by pat cole cultural, social, and engaged learning aspect of a student’s education,” says Dr. David Pollick, BSC president. “If you don’t have an informed citizen, you can’t have an effective citizen. “Though the college doesn’t set out as its primary goal to create an activist and someone who is politically engaged, I think our first intention is to make students as thoughtful as possible while helping them to develop all the skills they can at this age within an academic community. So the ultimate end is for them to be involved in the world as effectively as they can be.” The full liberal arts experience at Birmingham- Southern has long involved so much more than the traditional classroom education, which by itself seeks to develop thoughtful U.S. citizens by the time students become alumni.

For the next seven decades, the "Solid South" was almost completely and exclusively Democratic in its Republican Party in Alabama and the South politics and in its political and associated moral culture. Anything even remotely connected with the Republican Party was anathema in the Feldman Glenn South, indelibly associated with the traumatic, caricatured, and largely inaccurate collective memory of corrupt and incompetent "black rule," backed by the bristling bayonets of an invading army of northern, fed- eral aggression.'
