  • The Kent State Shootings After Nearly 50 Years
    The Kent State Shootings after Nearly 50 Years One Lawyer’s Remembrance Sanford Jay roSen Sanford Jay Rosen was the lead attorney for the dead and wounded students of the May 4, 1970, shootings at Kent State. Rosen came to the case in 1977 as lead counsel for the appeal following the victims’ loss of their cases in federal district court in Ohio. After he won the appeal, the cases were sent back to the district court for retrial. Rosen continues to practice law in San Francisco and is a founding partner at the San Francisco law firm Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld, LLP. This piece was written in 2019. To understand my involvement in the Kent State cases, we begin with my father’s mother long before I was born in December 1937. Aida Grudsky was born in the late 1860s in Kiev, Ukraine. In 1905, she fled to America with her husband and two sons from Czarist Russia’s latest oppression of Jews. Neither son survived the journey. Her eldest, born in the United States, also died as a child. Perhaps because of her unspeakable suffering, Aida had an innate sense of injustice, which she passed on to me. My late wife Catherine was born in January 1940, just three weeks af- ter she was smuggled into the United States in her mother’s belly. Pregnant Jewish women were not allowed into the United States on visitors’ visas dur- ing World War II. The Nazis murdered Cathy’s maternal grandmother and that branch of Cathy’s family, except my mother-in-law.

    14 Feb 2014 Final Update to the Kent State Truth Tribunal submission to the United Nations, Human Rights Committee The Kent State Truth Tribunal (KSTT) was founded in 2010 upon the emergence of new forensic evidence regarding the May 4, 1970 Kent State massacre. KSTT is a non- governmental organization focused on revealing truth and bringing justice to Kent State victims and survivors. Representing Allison Beth Krause, 19-year-old student protester slain at Kent State University on May 4, 1970: Doris L. Krause, mother and Laurel Krause, sister. The Kent State Truth Tribunal seeks an independent, impartial investigation into the May 4th Kent State massacre (Article 2 (Right to remedy); Article 6 (Right to life); Article 19 (Right to freedom of expression); Article 21 (Right to peaceful assembly)). In 2013 KSTT submitted information and a shadow report to the United Nations Human Rights Committee surrounding the May 4, 1970 Kent State shootings where Krause family member Allison was wrongfully killed.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.
