She was discovered while attending Westlake School for Girls in Bel Air, California, when actress Charlotte Rae and producer Norman Lear came to the school to authenticate scripts for their new show. Ms. Rae was so taken with the vivacious eighth grader she convinced producers to create a role for her. Mindy remained on the show for all nine seasons, also traveling to Paris and Australia with her co-stars to produce two successful television movies based on the series. Concurrently, with her role in Facts, Mindy played “Rose Jenko” in Fox’s 21 Jump Street. Other notable television appearances included Diff’rent Strokes, Double Trouble, Charles in Charge, Dream On and Suddenly Susan. In 1983, Mindy appeared in her first professional stage performance in Table Settings, written and directed by James Lapine and filmed for HBO Television. The illustrious cast included Eileen Heckart, Stockard Channing, Robert Klein, Peter Riegart, and Dinah Manoff. She went on to make her feature film debut in The Boy Who Could Fly, which co-starred Colleen Dewhurst, Fred Gwynne and Fred Savage. Mindy took a hiatus from her career to attend university, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology and a Masters in Education. During this time, she studied improvisation and scene work with Gary Austin and Larry Moss.

  • Baseball Under Glass
    Jokester Klein mined gold in Minoso’s sore body parts By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, August 8, 2017 Robert Klein loves self-generated sound effects and body English em- phasis in his comic act. But like the veteran pitcher nearing 40, the 75-year-old jokester can't summon his vintage fastball when he needs it. In this case, reviving his old Minnie Minoso on-stage thread. “I did a routine about him holding the record being hit by pitched balls,” Klein said of the late, fearless White Sox great. “So I made up a fictitious (slapping) noise for being hit by a Robert Klein once had Minnie Minoso as a sound- pitch. I can’t do that noise anymore of effects, body English part of his act. a ball being hit. My tongue won’t op- erate like that. “When I did the routine, it was Chicago (tongue slap), St. Louis (tongue slap), and each time I’d get hit in the head. His (HBP) record was broken by Ron Hunt. I said they’d meet once a year together and show two goofy guys who were hit in the head too many times.” Klein then followed Minoso to the end of his career…whenever. “It was a nice gesture when the Sox brought him back for technically a fifth decade (1980),” he said. “A guy like him, he could have made his debut earlier (if not for the col- or line).” Klein did not channel Minoso from second-hand information. He watched Minnie in his Sox prime in the 1950s at Yankee Stadium, his home away from home in his native Bronx.

JESSE JACKSON AND THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT Harold A. McDougall* I. INTRODUCTION Despite great strides by its middle class, black America today is plagued by drugs, homelessness, AIDS, and murder and is at greatest risk from the fallout of a crumbling environment. 1 The old Civil Rights Movement, which focused on anti-discrimination law, is in need of replacement by a strategy which ena- bles African-Americans to struggle over resources in the political arena. The increase in voting in the African-American community, partly a function of the Voting Rights Act and partly a function of the inspiration of Jesse Jackson, has laid the foundation for such a development, as evidenced by the Black Caucus and the Presidential campaign of Reverend Jackson himself. Ironically, the con- frontational style of the old Civil Rights Movement remains one of its strong- est legacies and needs to be revived as part of an overall strategy which includes more genteel maneuvering in the halls of power.

    The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner Ph.D., Advisors In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Leah Robbins May 2020 Copyright by Leah Robbins 2020 Acknowledgements This thesis was made possible by the generous and thoughtful guidance of my two advisors, Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner. Their content expertise, ongoing encouragement, and loving pushback were invaluable to the work. This research topic is complex for the Jewish community and often wrought with pain. My advisors never once questioned my intentions, my integrity as a researcher, or my clear and undeniable commitment to the Jewish people of the past, present, and future. I do not take for granted this gift of trust, which bolstered the work I’m so proud to share. I am also grateful to the entire Hornstein community for making room for me to show up in my fullness, and for saying “yes” to authentically wrestle with my ideas along the way. It’s been a great privilege to stretch and grow alongside you, and I look forward to continuing to shape one another in the years to come. iii ABSTRACT The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Leah Robbins Fascination with the famed “Black-Jewish coalition” in the United States, whether real or imaginary, is hardly a new phenomenon of academic interest.

But things have changed, don’t you agree? According to a recent survey, less than a third of Americans born after 1980 consider it essential to live in a democracy. Here at New-York Historical, our outlook is nonpartisan Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business and our audiences represent the entire political spectrum. But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out. A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D.

He and his family moved to Pennsylvania, where his father, Horace Mann Bond, was appointed president of Lincoln University. In 1957, Julian Bond graduated from the George School, a Quaker school in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and entered Morehouse College. In 1960, Julian Bond was one of several hundred students who helped form the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). In 1965, Julian Bond was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives. He was barred from taking his seat in the House because of his outspoken statements against the Vietnam War. In December 1966 the Supreme Court ruled in his favor and he served four terms as Representative and six terms in the Georgia Senate, from 1975-1986. During the 1968 presidential election, he was the first African American to be nominated for Vice-President of the United States. He withdrew his name from the ballot, however, because he was too young to serve. Later, Julian Bond was host of America's Black Forum. In 1987, Bond narrated the critically acclaimed 1987 PBS series, Eyes on the Prize. Julian Bond continued his tradition of activism as Chairman of the NAACP. He also served as President Emeritus of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, this Jewish philanthropist joined forces with African American communities during the Jim Crow South to build over 5,300 schools during the early part of the 20th century. Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world), and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Julius Rosenwald used his wealth to become one of America’s most effective philanthropists. Because of his modesty, Rosenwald’s philanthropy and social activism are not well known today. He gave away $62million in his lifetime.
