BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY Department of Archives and Manuscripts BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY Department of Archives and Manuscripts Connor, Theophilus Eugene 'Bull' Papers, 1951, 1957-1963 Background: Theophilus Eugene Connor was born in Dallas County, Alabama in 1897. Trained as a telegraph operator, Connor settled in Birmingham in the 1920s and worked as a radio sports announcer. Capitalizing on his popularity with radio listeners and his well-known nickname (,Bull'), Connor entered politics in 1934 and was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives. Connor was elected Public Safety Commissioner of Birmingham in 1937, a position that gave him administrative authority over the city's police and fire departments, public schools, public health and the public libraries. He held this position until 1954, and held the position again from 1958 to 1963 when he was forced from office by a change in the city form of government. During his long political career Connor ran two unsuccessful campaigns for governor of Alabama and was a leader of the 1948 Dixiecrat revolt. From 1964 to 1973 he served as President of the Alabama Public Service Commission, the state agency that regulates public utilities. Connor died in Birmingham in 1973. Eugene 'Bull' Connor is most famous for his staunch defense of racial segregation and for ordering the use of police dogs and fire hoses to disperse civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham during the spring of 1963. Scope and Content: These papers, which consist of letters, memoranda, clippings, photographs, and reports are the office files kept by Connor during his last five years as Commissioner of Public Safety. The papers from Connor's earlier terms were destroyed when he left office in 1954. The filing system and file headings used by Connor's office have been maintained. Files are grouped by years and then arranged alphabetically within each grouping. In some cases, material from different years was filed together. Files indicated as "empty" came to the Archives empty. Related Collections: Green, W.

  • Building Racial Bridges: Why We Can't Wait by Martin Luther King, Jr
    Building Racial Bridges: Why We Can’t Wait by Martin Luther King, Jr. February 2, 2016 Discussion led by Collin College Professor Michael Phillips Background information: “Jim Crow” was a character in the minstrel shows where white entertainers would blacken their faces and perform satirical reviews of current events as if they were African Americans. The Jim Crow Laws came to set the boundaries of segregation. Racial separation rose after slavery and became legal in the 1880’s. At that time poor whites had the distinction of never being someone’s property, bought or sold, or families separated. With the 13th (abolishing slavery), 14th (giving blacks citizenship), and 15th (giving blacks voting rights) amendments being passed, poor whites became discontent. They had no distinctive rights over the Negro. Populism, a radical movement working for justice and equal rights for all, rose in the 1880’s and ‘90’s. It involved the support of both black and white farmers working together toward economic justice and represented a threat to the Southern economic power structure. Two types of segregation: De jure – by law, evident in the South (separate schools, doors for public places, separate Bibles for swearing in, even the emergency blood supply, black women not allowed to try on or even touch clothes before purchase) De facto – practiced in the North (understood parameters, cultural, redlining in which banks and realtors would keep people of color out of certain neighborhoods) Populist Movement collapsed in 1896 with the re-establishing of segregation laws. 1919 Red Summer – labeled for the volume of blood shed, whites attacking blacks.

  • At the Close of 1962, Martin Luther King Jr. and His Colleagues Looked Back on What for Them Was a Dispiriting Year with No Reso
    HANDOUT 1 THE CHILDREN’S CRUSADE OF THE BIRMINGHAM CIVIL RIGHTS CAMPAIGN At the close of 1962, Martin Luther King Jr. and his colleagues looked back on what for them was a dispiriting year with no resounding successes to propel the civil rights movement forward in the new year. The Albany Campaign The campaign for desegregation in Albany, Georgia, had been a failure. Civil rights demonstrators were outmaneuvered by the city’s sheriff, Laurie Pritchett, who had prevented violent attacks by whites that would have brought demonstrators national attention and sympathy. Pritchett had moved arrestees to nearby towns, and, when King arrived hoping to use his imprisonment as a rallying point for civil rights forces, forced King’s release. The Cuban Missile Crisis and the Decline of the Civil Rights Movement November 1962 saw the world come within a hairsbreadth of nuclear catastrophe during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The crisis turned the nation’s and the Kennedy administration’s attention to the international sphere and away from the plight of black Americans. Civil rights was no longer the topic of the day in American politics. Given these circumstances, what could possibly resurrect the movement’s fortunes? The Birmingham Campaign of April–May 1963 The Birmingham Campaign of April–May 1963 had been preceded by more than seven years of petitions and lawsuits to end racial segregation in the city. This period was also punctuated by a number of beatings and bombings by segregationist forces. The Birmingham Campaign’s blueprint was drawn up in detail by Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker, who named it ―Project C (confrontation).‖ Using direct action tactics, the campaign sought to end racial segregation in public facilities such as schools, lunch counters, restrooms, parks, and drinking fountains.

  • 1 REMEMBERING MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. David Levering Lewis
    1 REMEMBERING MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. David Levering Lewis NYU Washington 1307 L Street, NW Sunday, 5 PM January 20, 2013 Fifty years ago next August, two hundred fifty thousand Americans gathered in this city to protest racial discrimination as un-American. Martin Luther King, Jr., 34, leader of the successful Montgomery Alabama Bus Boycott, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), engaged in a bitter campaign to desegregate police chief Bull Connor’s Birmingham, Alabama, spoke last. His speech was one for the ages, an oration whose eloquent content matched the Gettysburg Address. Unlike Abraham Lincoln’s address, carefully prepared well in advance of his trip to a battlefield dedication, Martin Luther King’s speech was a masterpiece of eleventh-hour composition and inspired improvisation. He tells us that he only finished it at 4 AM on the morning of the 28th. The famous speech commenced with a Lincolnesque flourish: “Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.” As his fine baritone rolled over the great crowd, “the audience response was wonderful,” Dr. King recalls. “All of a sudden, this thing came to me.” “I have a dream,” the phrase that he had used many times before. At that point, “I just turned aside from the manuscript altogether and didn’t come back to it., ”he says.[Auto-223] The powerful cadences, 2 the edifying biblical allusions, the hypnotic iteration of the leitmotif---“I Have A Dream”---would spellbind the nation. “Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy.

  • Crisis Over Berlin
    Crisis Over Berlin A Study Produced by the Historical Office, United States Department of State1 Crisis over Berlin was produced by the Historical Office of the Department of State at the request of Martin J. Hillenbrand, a senior Foreign Service Officer and scholar of Germany. Hillenbrand requested the document in his capacity as Deputy Head of the Berlin Task Force (BTF), an interagency body charged with coordinating responses to the Berlin crisis. Hillenbrand’s formal request of March 4, 1963 notes that the BTF found military histories of the crisis operationally helpful. Hillenbrand also hoped a State Department project focusing on the diplomatic aspects of the crisis would be, “useful in the future when the history of this particular foreign policy problem comes to be written.”2 The Historical Office accepted the tasking on March 22, 1963. Dr. Arthur Kogan was relieved of his other duties to fulfill Hillenbrand’s request. In conversation with Kogan, Hillenbrand emphasized the historical import of the project, requesting a “thorough” account of “some length.”3 Kogan received extensive access to highly classified Department of State documents for the purpose of creating the most comprehensive possible account. To address Hillenbrand’s request for a comprehensive account, Kogan designed an eight-part study covering the period November 1958-December 1962. Kogan transmitted the draft of Part I to Hillenbrand on August 21, 1964. Hillenbrand extensively involved himself in the project, critiquing Part I in detail. Kogan noted, “Your comments and suggestions regarding Part I were most helpful and they have been fully taken into account in the drafting of the final version.”4 While waiting for Hillenbrand’s comments on Part I, Kogan finished drafts of Parts II, III, and IV.
