The irrationality of the War not only shattered lives but also left cracks in the Enlightenment belief in the rationality of man. Carl L. Becker noted in 1945 in Freedom and Responsibility in the American Way of Life the climate of disillusionment with human reason as an "infallible instrument for recordingtruth" and the realization that "men themselves are less amenable to rational persuasion" than had been thought prior to the War. The War had shaken that belief but had not disproved the basic proposition, as Becker put it, "that only through freedom of the mind can a reasonably just society everbe created."(1) Among men of thought who grappled with how to prevent another such full-scale effort to annihilate freedom of expression and civil liberties were the true believers who were convinced that a just society must be rootedin a clear global commitment to a free flow of information. The essential first step was to give freedom of information a central place in post-war United Nations discussions. The United Nations was chartered in 1945 to promote international cooperation "and assist in the realizationof human rights and fundamental freedoms of all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religions."(2) Planning began the next year for an International Conference on Freedom of Information, to be held two years later, March 23-April 21, 1948. (3) This FoI conference 4 Pioneers in the State Freedom of Information Movement spawned a decade of debate. Eleven years afterwards on December 7, 1959, Article I of the Declaration of Human Rights was adopted: "Each contracting state undertakes to respect and protect the right of every person to have at his disposal diverse sources of information."(4) After the War, public officials continued to build walls of secrecy -- higher each year -- which threatened the free flow of information in the United States. The web of secrecy had been spun all across the country, and journalists began to realize organized action was necessary to counter the trend of denials of access to government meetings and records. Purpose of The Study Thus began a protracted struggle to dismantle the wall of government secrecy with federal and state access laws. Much scholarly research has focused on the Federal Freedom of Information Act, and numerous articles have studied access laws in one state. But there is a dearth of information on the origins of the state FoI movement. This paper provides an overview of those origins, describes the nationwide mobilization effort which involved forming committees, conducting research and establishing a national FoI clearninghouse. Pioneers who worked to enact access laws in their state are identified; the difficulties confronted are described, including the problem of convincing journalists and legislators of the need for legislation.The period of study selected covers the post- war climate in the '40s precipitating concerns about suppression of information and the intense state activity during the '50s which began to dissipate by the mid '60s. Pioneers in the State Freedom of Information Movement Problems with legislation enacted in the '50s and '60s, which precipitated a second stage of the state FoI movement around 1967 of revising existing laws and replacing them with new legislation to plug loopholes, will be discussed. How the movement changed in the 1970s in terms of organization and education efforts and influx of other groups will be explained. The paper concludes with a discussion of the philosophy which has driven the FoI movement. Assessing the Problem and Mobilization As plans for an international FoI conference got underway, journalism organizations began establishing committees to monitor secrecy problems and seek solutions.(5) Sigma Delta Chi (SDX), the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE), the Associated Press Managing Editors Association (APME) and the National Editorial Association (NEA) began discussing how they might prevent the flow of government information from being reduced to a trickle. (5) By 1947, Harvard University legal scholar Zechariah Chafee noted as significant "the enormous recent expansion of the subjects which officials are seeking to hide from publication until they give the signal."(6) Unfortunately, the signals were becoming dimmer as the monitoring of denials of access to information began to reveal. (7) Edwin D. Canham, The Christian Science Monitor editor and president of ASNE in 1948, returned from the international FoI conference and appointed Basil L. Walters, Chicago News, as FoI Committee chairman. Walters reported on international problems in 1949 but also on access skirmishes in this country; then in 1950, his report focused almost entirely 3 Pioneers in the State Freedom of Information Movement on the dangers on the home front. A 1950 ASNE national study of access problems, in fact, "found disquieting conditions" from the federal down to the local level. (8) James S. Pope, Executive Editor of The Louisville Times and Courier-Journal, took over as ASNE FoI chairman. He asked the Board of Directors to acquire expert help and found it in the brilliant mind of a retired lawyer who became a champion of access and foe of secrecy.

  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman's Town
    Roads to Destruction: Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman’s Town by Cynthia Lewis Like most American cities following World War II, Dallas entered a period of economic prosperity, and city leaders, like their counterparts throughout the nation, sought to maximize that prosperity through various urban renewal initiatives.1 Black urban communities across the country, branded as blighted areas, fell victim to the onslaught of postwar urban redevelopment as city leaders initiated massive renewal projects aimed at both bolstering the appeal and accessibility of the urban center and clearing out large sections of urban black neighborhoods. Between the years 1943 and 1983, Dallas city officials directed a series of massive redevelopment projects that decimated each of the city’s black communities, displacing thousands and leaving these communities in a state of disarray.2 This paper, which focuses on the historically black Dallas community of North Dallas, argues that residential segregation, which forced the growth and evolution of North Dallas, ultimately led to the development of slum conditions that made North Dallas a target for postwar slum clearance projects which only served to exacerbate blight within the community. Founded in 1869 by former slaves, North Dallas, formerly known as Freedman’s Town, is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Dallas.3 Located just northeast of downtown and bounded by four cemeteries to the north and white-owned homes to the south, east, and west, the area became the largest and most densely populated black settlement in the city. Residential segregation played a pivotal role in the establishment and evolution of North Dallas, as it did with most black urban communities across the country.4 Racial segregation in Dallas, with its roots in antebellum, began to take 1 For an in-depth analysis of the United States’ postwar economy, see Postwar Urban America: Demography, Economics, and Social Policies by John F.

  • Dallas Striptease 1946-1960 A
    FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 A Thesis by KELLY CLAYTON Submitted to the Graduate School of Texas A&M University-Commerce in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2019 FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 A Thesis by KELLY CLAYTON Approved by: Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky Committee: Sharon Kowalsky Andrew Baker Head of Department: Sharon Kowalsky Dean of the College: William Kuracina Dean of the Graduate School: Matthew A. Wood iii Copyright © 2019 Kelly Clayton iv ABSTRACT FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 Kelly Clayton, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2019 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky PhD The entertainment landscape of post-World War II Dallas, Texas included striptease in different types of venues. Travelling and local striptease acts performed at the city’s annual fair and in several nightclubs in the city. In the late 1940s, the fair featured striptease as the headlining act, and one of the city’s newspapers, the Dallas Morning News, described the dancers as the most popular attraction of the largest fair in the United States. Further, the newspaper reporting congratulated the men who ran the fair for providing Texans with these popular entertainment options. The dancers who performed at the fair also showcased their talents at area nightclubs to mixed gender audiences. Dallas welcomed striptease as an acceptable form of entertainment. However, in the early 1950s, the tone and tenor of the striptease coverage changed. The State Fair of Texas executives decried striptease as “soiled” and low-class. Dancers performed in nightclubs, but the newspaper began to report on one particular entertainer, Candy Barr, and her many tangles with law enforcement.

  • Oral History of Bonton and Ideal Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas
    ORAL HISTORY OF BONTON AND IDEAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN DALLAS, TEXAS Briana Payne Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: Andrew Nelson, Committee Chair Beverly Ann Davenport, Committee Member Matthew Durington, Committee Member Lisa Henry, Chair of the Department of Anthropology Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Payne, Briana. Oral History of Bonton and Ideal Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas. Master of Arts (Applied Anthropology), December 2015, 145 pp., 3 tables, 67 figures, references, 223 titles. The Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in Dallas Texas, developed in the early 1900s, experienced physical and social decay throughout the 1980s. Neighborhood organizations and resident activism were vital to the rebirth of the community in the 1990s. Current revitalization efforts taking place there have been a source of contention as the neighborhood continues to overcome inequalities created by decades of racialized city planning initiatives. This thesis focuses on how the structuring structure of whiteness has historically affected, and continues to affect, the neighborhoods of Ideal and Bonton, as well as acts to identify how black residents have navigated their landscape and increased their collective capital through neighborhood activism. Copyright 2015 By Briana Payne ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank the Neighborhood Investment Program for providing me with the opportunity to work with them as they continue to improve the Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in South Dallas. Without their acknowledgement of the importance of conserving the history of this community, I would not have been able to share the important life stories of the residents.

  • A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (Guest Post)*
    “A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (guest post)* Garrison Keillor “Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, my hometown, out on the edge of the prairie.” On July 6, 1974, before a crowd of maybe a dozen people (certainly less than 20), a live radio variety program went on the air from the campus of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. It was called “A Prairie Home Companion,” a name which at once evoked a sense of place and a time now past--recalling the “Little House on the Prairie” books, the once popular magazine “The Ladies Home Companion” or “The Prairie Farmer,” the oldest agricultural publication in America (founded 1841). The “Prairie Farmer” later bought WLS radio in Chicago from Sears, Roebuck & Co. and gave its name to the powerful clear channel station, which blanketed the middle third of the country from 1928 until its sale in 1959. The creator and host of the program, Garrison Keillor, later confided that he had no nostalgic intent, but took the name from “The Prairie Home Cemetery” in Moorhead, MN. His explanation is both self-effacing and humorous, much like the program he went on to host, with some sabbaticals and detours, for the next 42 years. Origins Gary Edward “Garrison” Keillor was born in Anoka, MN on August 7, 1942 and raised in nearby Brooklyn Park. His family were not (contrary to popular opinion) Lutherans, instead belonging to a strict fundamentalist religious sect known as the Plymouth Brethren.
