City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft. -

I sincerely thank my graduate student peers in the Department of History and Philosophy who listened to my ideas and critiqued my scholarship. I also received a treasure-trove of feedback and reassurance along the way from professors, including Mary Murphy, Janet Ore, and Mark Fiege. My committee— Catherine Dunlop, Amanda Hendrix-Komoto, and Robert Rydell—generously offered their time and invaluable assistance. Special thanks is reserved for my committee chair, Billy Smith, who has sacrificed innumerable hours editing my writing and helping me to refine my argument. I thank him for his steadfast mentorship and refreshing comedic presence. Archivists and librarians at the Rare Books and Manuscript Collection at Columbia University, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, and the Library of Congress offered access to their collections, without which my thesis would not be possible. I received financial support from several organizations, including the Charles Redd Center for an Off-Campus Graduate Student Award, the History and Philosophy Department at Montana State University for a research travel grant, and the College of Letters and Sciences at Montana State University for a research travel grant. -

Education Aci Title I; ESEA Title I ABSTRACT This manual contains selected materials and ideas generated during the multicultural program implementationat Fremont Elementary School in 1974-75 which vas funded under ESEATitle I. The program included:(1) the consecutive concentrated study of five individual cultures and (2) a comparative multicultural approach built around five basic themes. While it isbelieved that it is essential to develop positive self-concept and intergrouprelations, multicultural awareness is seen as necessary to understand the different human experiences of people who come from different cultures and ethnic groups. In the school, multicultural awareness vas attained through implementationof the following areas: cultural curricula, multicultural curricula; curriculum based onclassroom cultural and ethnic population; integration of multicultural awareness into basic subject areas ofmath, reading, language; and chronological recognition of events and holidays across cultural lines. This project was developed for elementary grades as aformal approach to begin or enrich multicultural studies.Although much of the content is deemed to be appropriate forkindergarten to sixth grade, special emphasis is given to grades four throughsix.

Tracing the history of three renewal projects from planning through design and implementation, it argues that these projects were shaped by public debates on civil rights and desegregation and the growing ability of community groups to organize and advocate on their own behalf. This dissertation also revisits the usual critique of urban renewal as a program of social and physical destruction and describes these years as a tumultuous period of construction and community building defined by new expectations for community participation and racial justice. -
