Labor in Politics Mary Goddard Zon*
LABOR IN POLITICS MARY GODDARD ZON* There are now more American trade unionists actively involved in political affairs than ever before in the history of the nation. It is the constant and continuing purpose of the AFL-CIO's Committee on Political Education (COPE) to broaden the base of the electorate. We believe that as each American citizen benefits from assuming an active and responsible role in political decisions, so the nation benefits from a dedicated and informed electorate. This job will never be finished. Each year thousands of youngsters reach voting age. Each year millions of families change residence and face the problem of re- registering under different and sometimes restrictive laws. As technological dis- coveries affect employment opportunities, our members are often forced to move in order to find work. As the nationwide residential pattern shifts from the city to the encircling suburbs, our members move across city, county, and sometimes state lines. The problem of maintaining contact with our mobile membership is growing in complexity. Only a small fraction of the total can be reached at regular union meetings. We are exploring new techniques for communicating with our members and providing them with the tools they seek and the information they demand as the basis for mature political judgment. I LuoR's TRaITONAL POLITICAL ROLE American workers have been in politics since the i73o's when they joined with artisans and shopkeepers to elect Boston town officials. The form of labor organiza- tions and the character and degree of labor's political activity have changed many times in the intervening years. -

Texas Legislature, Austin, Texas, April 24, 1967
FOR RELEASE: MONDAY PM's APRIL 24, 1967 REMARKS OF VICE PRESIDENT HUBERT H. HUMPHREY TEXAS STATE LEGISLATURE AUSTIN, TEXAS APRIL 24, 1967 This is a very rare experience for me -- to be able to stand here and look out over all these fine Texas faces. Of course, I have had considerable practice looking into Texas faces -- sometimes I get the feeling that whoev·er wrote "The Eyes of Texas rr had me in mind. But what makes this experience so rare is that, this time, I am doing the talking. And I don't mind telling you: You may be in for it. But you don't need to worry. The point has already been made. One of your fellow Texans reminded me this morning that Austin was once the home of William Sidney Porter who wrote the 0. Henry stories -- and he .observed that 0. Henry and I had much in common: 0. Henry stories al'ltfays have surprise endings and in my speeches, the end is always a surprise, too. I am happy to be in Texas once again. As you realize, one of the duties of a Vice President is to visit the capitals of our friendly allies. Believe me; we are very grateful in Washington to have Texas on our side - that is, whenever you are. I am pleased today to bring to the members of the Legislature warm personal greetings from the President of the United States. He is on a sad mission today to pay the last respects of our nation to one of the great statesmen in the postwar world -- a man who visited Austin six years ago this month -- former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of Germany. -

A Symbol of Virtue Or a Strategy for Votes? John F. Kennedy's
A Symbol of Virtue Or A Strategy for Votes? John F. Kennedy’s Telephone Call to Coretta King And Its Social And Political Consequences Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Comparative History Daniel Thomas Kryder, Advisor In Partial Fullfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Matthew E. Sullivan May, 2013 ABSTRACT A Symbol of Virtue Or A Strategy for Votes? John F. Kennedy’s Telephone Call to Coretta King And Its Social And Political Consequences A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Comparative History Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Matt Sullivan This thesis examines the effect of a phone conversation between Kennedy and Coretta Scott King concerning Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s unfair imprisonment on the African- American community, and the social and political consequences that followed. By examining Kennedy’s relationship to civil rights before the call, the events surrounding the phone call itself, and the political strategy involved in getting the message of Kennedy’s call to African- Americans, this thesis will attempt to determine Kennedy’s motivations in making the call and if it had any effects. By looking at polling data and voting statistics among African-Americans, this thesis will determine to what extent they supported Kennedy in the election. A chart was developed that examined Kennedy’s motivation for making the call, ranging from instrumental to moral. The effect of the call ranges from a high effect, no effect at all, and a negative effect for Kennedy. -
