Sewanee News, 1980 TheSewanee News MARCH 1980 Symposium on Business Perhaps the most neglected area of Southern history is its business history, and a remedy for that will begin with the First Annual Sewanee Economics Symposium April 3-5. The theme for the symposium is "Business in the New South: A Historical Perspec- tive." Marvin E. Goodstein, professor of economics and coordinator for the symposium, said Sewanee is taking a lead in the historical study because little research has been done in Southern business history (though southerners are interested in other aspects of their history), and because busi- ness history itself shows signs of expanding significantly. Panels are being formed with academic persons in economics, history, and business, business persons who have access to valu- able records, and archivists and librarians. Professor Goodstein said he expects the symposium will answer a need for more study in business history. Also, it is expected to generate additional interest in busi- ness history and generate coopera- tion between the business and university communities. Panels are being formed to discuss four aspects of business in the South—the early problems, the modern successes, the future, and a cooperative approach to preserving the records of Southern business. The panel chairmen include Jeremy Atack of the University of Illinois, Albert Niemi of the Uni- versity of Georgia, Fred Bateman of Indiana University and the University of the South, and Robert Lovett, curator of manuscripts and archives for Harvard Business School.

Frantz PLACE: Mr. Levinson's office, New York City Tape 1 of 1 L: I'm sitting here on November 2, 1973, and we're all musing about the Watergate and the fate of the presidency and the questions of conflict of interest. We already read in the paper yesterday that President Nixon, in the midst of a major antitrust case, picked up the telephone and called the Deputy Attorney General and told him not to file an appeal. Later that order was countermanded, but it did illustrate presidential involvement in a matter before the courts, which brings me to mind about the philosophy of President Johnson when it came to pending matters before the courts, or before the regulatory agencies. Maybe by way of illustration, although I've said this somewhere before during this odyssey of conversations, Dr. Frantz, that we've been having the last couple of years, Jack Valenti did something that created a tremendous stir at the White House.

When there is still interest in a book that goes back more than a quarter of a century it’s cause for celebration. So when you celebrate you invite a bunch of your friends in to celebrate with you. We're here with seven people who have collectively served on the White House staffs of eight Presidents. I can assure you that we all have stories to tell and this is going to be for an hour and a half a chance to tell some of our favorite stories. I hope we'll be serious at times, but I know we're going to have some fun. I'm going to introduce them quickly in order of the President they served or are most identified with, and that would be on my right, George Elsey who is the President Emeritus of the American Red Cross and served on the White House staff of Franklin D.

  • Give Us the Ballot CRA Newsreel 7/4/64 Now, in This Summer of 1964
    Ep 5: Give us the Ballot CRA Newsreel 7/4/64 ​ ​ ​ Now, in this summer of 1964, the Civil Rights Bill is the law of the land. Congress passes the most sweeping Civil Rights Bill ever to be written into the law and thus reaffirms the conception of equality => for all men that began with Lincoln and the Civil War 100 years ago. July 2nd, 1964, was a good day for Lyndon Johnson. Before an audience of legislators and civil rights leaders who have labored long and hard for passage of the bill, President Johnson calls for all Americans to back what he calls a turning point in history. The landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was indeed a turning point in the country's long and bloody struggle for racial justice, and a hard-won feather in LBJ's cap. But important as it was, for the civil rights movement, it was only a beginning. Rhonda Williams African-Americans were under no illusion that the Civil Rights Act was going to be sufficient. Rhonda Y. Williams teaches American History at Vanderbilt University. Williams For them, it was not merely about integration -- about being able to sit in a restaurant, to ride on a bus, to get an equal education. It was also about how one could access political power to challenge the white political systems in the South, to make sure that African-Americans had the vote, that they had the ability in the political realm to make decisions about who represented them. This is something that Lyndon Baines Johnson, coming off of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, understood.
