The mission of the well- -known Jazz Ambassadors project of the US State Department was fairly clear: to present jazz as an example of typical American culture, show it as a messenger of freedom in countries often governed by oppressive regimes, and dispel the embarrass- ment of the world’s public over the US Government’s unwillingness to tackle pressing issues of racial inequality and civil rights.1 In the early stage of the Cold War, US administration soon realized that jazz and swing music would be better tools of its cultural diplomacy than ballet or classical music, especially since the successful European tour of the opera Porgy and Bess2 1 See, in particular, the works of VON ESCHEN, Penny M.: Satchmo Blows Up the World: Jazz Ambassadors Play the Cold War.

The subsequent series of tours of American jazz musicians in Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Eastern Europe was supplemented by other parallel forms of propaganda, such as radio broadcasts (represented, for example, by Willis Conover’s Music USA programme aired by the Voice of America) or sending books and musical recordings to countries behind the Iron Curtain.3 Thanks to cultural exports sponsored by the US Government, thousands of people were able to meet jazz idols of those times, including Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Good- man, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, or Louis Armstrong. As we now know, this diplomatic effort to present the United States as a land of freedom suffered from many controversies, mainly because Afro-American musicians sent to tours under the auspices of the US Government had their own experience with domestic racism, which they sometimes mentioned when abroad. However, the main character appearing on the following pages is an American who somehow did not fi t into the offi cial efforts to use jazz music as a tool of diplomacy. Herbert Ward was a left-wing jazz bassist and singer, who asked for asylum in com- munist Czechoslovakia at the end of 1954. He, too, helped promote jazz behind the Iron Curtain, and many Czech musicians still remember him. However, his story is counterposed to the offi cial vision of US cultural diplomacy which sent only care- fully selected musicians, ones who could serve its purposes mentioned above, to tour the world, while Herbert Ward was, as a US political refugee, a good proof of the hypocrisy of the US system for Czechoslovak authorities. I call him a “different” jazz ambassador in the title of my study to distinguish Ward’s mission from that of the “Real Jazz Ambassador,” the nickname given to Louis Armstrong in the context of US jazz diplomacy.4 My work attempts to prove that the earliest share in the rehabilitation of jazz in communist Czechoslovakia belonged to Herbert Ward, a relatively unknown white jazzman whom the FBI suspected of cooperation with the Communist Party of the United States, rather than to Louis Armstrong. While Armstrong was intentionally used by US diplomacy, Ward was an unintended consequence of the persecution of left-wing citizens in the United States in the early 1950s. The story of the American musician who applied for political asylum in Czecho- slovakia in 1954 (together with his wife and two little sons) became part of the mythology of the older jazz generation and also made its way into popular culture.5 3 RITTER, Rüdiger: Broadcasting Jazz into the Eastern Bloc – Cold War Weapon or Cultur- al Exchange?

The roles of the Wards were played by James Harries and Tonya Graves. See ŠKVORECKÝ, Josef: Red Music.

Was he indeed hunted by the FBI? Was it because of his political (communist) belief, or because of much more mundane reasons (as some contemporary witnesses suggest)? In my opinion, Ward’s case will not only help supplement the well-known story of US jazz diplomacy, but also contribute

  • Chapter 6. the Voice of the Other America: African
    Chapter 6 Th e Voice of the Other America African-American Music and Political Protest in the German Democratic Republic Michael Rauhut African-American music represents a synthesis of African and European tradi- tions, its origins reaching as far back as the early sixteenth century to the begin- ning of the systematic importation of “black” slaves to the European colonies of the American continent.1 Out of a plethora of forms and styles, three basic pil- lars of African-American music came to prominence during the wave of indus- trialization that took place at the start of the twentieth century: blues, jazz, and gospel. Th ese forms laid the foundation for nearly all important developments in popular music up to the present—whether R&B, soul and funk, house music, or hip-hop. Th anks to its continual innovation and evolution, African-American music has become a constitutive presence in the daily life of several generations. In East Germany, as throughout European countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain, manifold directions and derivatives of these forms took root. Th ey were carried through the airwaves and seeped into cultural niches until, fi nally, this music landed on the political agenda. Both fans and functionaries discovered an enormous social potential beneath the melodious surface, even if their aims were for the most part in opposition. For the government, the implicit rejection of the communist social model represented by African-American music was seen as a security issue and a threat to the stability of the system. Even though the state’s reactions became weaker over time, the offi cial interaction with African-American music retained a political connotation for the life of the regime.

    Band IV Klaus Reinhold Chronik Arnstadt 704 - 2004 1300 Jahre Arnstadt 2. erweiterte und verbesserte Auflage Teil 4 (Fortsetzung) Hebamme Anna Kessel (Weiße 50) verhalf am 26.10.1942 dem viertausendstem Kind in ihrer langjährigen beruflichen Laufbahn zum Leben. 650 „ausgebombte“ Frauen und Kinder aus Düsseldorf trafen am 27.10.1942 mit einem Son- derzug in Arnstadt ein. Diamantene Hochzeit feierte am 28.10.1942 das Ehepaar Richard Zeitsch (86) und seine Ehefrau Hermine geb. Hendrich (81), Untergasse 2. In der Nacht vom Sonntag, dem 1. zum 2.11.1942, wurden die Uhren (um 3.00 Uhr auf 2.00 Uhr) um eine Stunde zurückgestellt. Damit war die Sommerzeit zu Ende und es galt wieder Normalzeit. Zum ersten Mal fand am 14.11.1942 in Arnstadt eine Hochzeit nach dem Tode statt. Die Näherin Silva Waltraud Gertrud Herzer heiratete ihren am 9.8.1941 gefallenen Verlobten, den Obergefreiten Artur Erich Hans Schubert mit dem sie ein Töchterchen namens Jutta (7 30.8.1939 in Arnstadt) hatte. Die Heirat erfolgte mit Wirkung des Tages vor dem Tode, also 8.8.1941. Die Tochter wurde „durch diese Eheschließung legitimiert“. 1943 Der Sturm 8143 des NS-Fliegerkorps baute Anfang 1943 auf dem Fluggelände Weinberg bei Arnstadt eine Segelflugzeughalle im Werte von 3500 RM. Die Stadt gewährte einen Zuschuß von 1000 RM und trat dem NS-Fliegerkorps als Fördermitglied mit einem Jahres- beitrag von 100,00 RM bei. Der fast 18-jährige Schüler Joachim Taubert (7 24.2.1925 in Arnstadt) wurde am 6.1.1943, 9.00 Uhr, in der Wohnung seiner Mutter, der Witwe Gertrud Elisabeth Taubert geb.

Despite the growing number of works addressing the black experience in and with Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany, West Germany, and contemporary Germany, few studies have devoted attention to the black experience in and with East Germany. In this work, the outline of this transatlantic relationship is defined, detailing who was involved in the friendship, why they were involved, and what they hoped to gain from this alliance.

  • Double Burden: the Black Experience in Pittsburgh
    Double Burden: The Black Experience in Pittsburgh Laurence Glasco History Department University of Pittsburgh Scholarly studies of black Pittsburgh are numerous but uneven in their coverage. In the 1930s the Works Progress Administration (WPA) assembled a rich body of material on the social life, politics, and even folklore of the city's blacks. But the projected general history was never completed, and its unedited pages until recently lay forgotten in the state archives. The gap left by the lack of a general history, moreover, is not filled by specialized studies because these are uneven in their coverage. The nineteenth century, for example, has been especially neglected: the scholarly literature on that period consists of one article, one dissertation, and one undergraduate thesis, all of which focus on the antislavery movement of the Civil War era. The twentieth century, in contrast, has received considerable attention. The period between World War I and World War II has been especially well covered: over one hundred specialized studies--including fifty-six master's theses and dissertations--describe the adjustment problems of black migrants and the emergence of the Hill district as a predominantly black ghetto. The years following World War II also have interested scholars: more than fifty studies--primarily doctoral dissertations--examine the racial dimensions of poverty, segregation, and governmental efforts to alleviate those conditions. Finally, black Pittsburgh from approximately 1930 to 1980 has been visually well documented in the collection of Teenie Harris, a photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier whose 50,000 to 100,000 photographs rival those of New York's Vander Zee collection in portraying the texture of black urban life.

    55. konvent Pražského seniorátu ČCE - 2. zasedání, 12. listopadu 2016, Dejvice Tisk č. 3A ZPRÁVA SENIORÁTNÍHO VÝBORU PRO KONVENT PRAŽSKÉHO SENIORÁTU 2016 Seniorátní výbor shrnuje v následujícím textu důležité informace o společném životě a společné práci v Pražském seniorátu od listopadu 2015 do října 2016. 1. SENIORÁTNÍ VÝBOR A JEHO SPOLUPRACOVNÍCI Od minulého volebního konventu pracuje seniorátní výbor v mírně obměněném složení: Roman Mazur (senior – domovský sbor Libeň), Zdena Skuhrová (seniorátní kurátorka – Hvozdnice), Petr Firbas (1. náměstek seniora – Horní Počernice), Daniel Heller (1. náměstek seniorátní kurátorky – Dejvice), Tomáš Trusina (2. náměstek seniora – Benešov) a Tomáš Fendrych (2. náměstek seniorátní kurátorky – Střešovice). Náhradníky jsou nyní za duchovní Lenka Ridzoňová (Střešovice) a Pavel Kalus (Žižkov I), za laiky Jan Mašek (Dejvice) a Eva Potměšilová (Žižkov II). Vzhledem k šíři seniorátní agendy se náhradníci pravidelně účastní schůzí výboru, jsou rovněž členy komise pro posuzování žádosti o příspěvky ze seniorátního solidárního fondu a i jinak se zapojují do práce a služby v seniorátu. Stálými spolupracovníky seniorátního výboru jsou také seniorátní účetní Olga Poláková a seniorátní farář Jakub Malý (od ledna 2016 na celý úvazek pro seniorát). Protože obě strany (seniorátní výbor i Jakub) jsou s dosavadní spoluprací spokojeny, je pro letošní zasedání konventu připravena opakovaná volba Jakuba Malého za seniorátního faráře na dalších 5 let. Kvůli zajištění výhodných bytových podmínek pro seniorátního faráře využil seniorátní výbor nabídky povšechného sboru a nechal na své náklady opravit volný byt v Dejvicích (Dr. Z. Wintra 15/746), který povšechný sbor Jakubovi Malému na dalších 5 let za zvýhodněných podmínek pronajal. Oprava byla nečekaná a v rozpočtu neplánovaná, potřebných 110.000 Kč bylo čerpáno z Fondu bydlení seniorátních farářů, který se tak dostal do schodku.
