    US 6Th Circuit Judge Damon J. Keith 1922-2019

    U.S. 6th Circuit Judge Damon J. Keith 1922-2019 Damon J. Keith, a U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals judge whose rulings as a federal district judge in Detroit in the 1970s catapulted him to the status of civil rights icon, died peacefully in his sleep early Sunday at his riverfront apartment in Detroit. He was 96. Keith, the grandson of slaves and the longest-serving African-American judge in the nation, burst onto the national stage in 1970 when, as a U.S. district judge, he ordered citywide busing to desegregate Pontiac schools. It was the first court decision to extend federal court-ordered busing to the North. In 1971, Keith ruled that President Richard Nixon and U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell violated the U.S. Constitution by wiretapping student radicals in Ann Arbor without a court order. In 1979, as judge on the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Keith upheld then-Mayor Coleman Young’s affirmative action plan to integrate the Detroit Police Department. Despite receiving hate mail and death threats, Keith never flinched. “It just let us know that there is still a lot of work to do,” he once said. He was Detroit’s most revered and admired black person next to Young, Detroit’s first black mayor, and Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her seat to a white man on an Alabama bus in 1955 sparked the modern civil rights movement. “One cannot be around Damon for very long without sensing his commitment to all that is good about our country,” Judge Peter Fay of the U.S.

    The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role Did Race Play?

    The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role did Race Play? Reynolds Farley* University of Michigan at Michigan Perhaps no city in the United States has a longer and more vibrant history of racial conflict than Detroit. It is the only city where federal troops have been dispatched to the streets four times to put down racial bloodshed. By the 1990s, Detroit was the quintessential “Chocolate City-Vanilla Suburbs” metropolis. In 2013, Detroit be- came the largest city to enter bankruptcy. It is an oversimplification and inaccurate to argue that racial conflict and segregation caused the bankruptcy of Detroit. But racial issues were deeply intertwined with fundamental population shifts and em- ployment changes that together diminished the tax base of the city. Consideration is also given to the role continuing racial disparity will play in the future of Detroit after bankruptcy. INTRODUCTION The city of Detroit ran out of funds to pay its bills in early 2013. Emergency Man- ager Kevyn Orr, with the approval of Michigan Governor Snyder, sought and received bankruptcy protection from the federal court and Detroit became the largest city to enter bankruptcy. This paper explores the role that racial conflict played in the fiscal collapse of what was the nation’s fourth largest city. In June 1967 racial violence in Newark led to 26 deaths and, the next month, rioting in Detroit killed 43. President Johnson appointed Illinois Governor Kerner to chair a com- mission to explain the causes of urban racial violence. That Commission emphasized the grievances of blacks in big cities—segregated housing, discrimination in employment, poor schools, and frequent police violence including the questionable shooting of nu- merous African American men.

    TUSKEGEE AIRMEN CHRONOLOGY DANIEL L. HAULMAN ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY BRANCH AIR FORCE HISTORICAL RESEARCH AGENCY MAXWELL AFB, AL 36112-6424 24 November 2015 1 A TUSKEGEE AIRMEN CHRONOLOGY INTRODUCTION For decades after World War II, the first black pilots in American military history were relatively unknown. Americans became increasingly aware of the contributions of African Americans to their cultural heritage during and after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. By the end of the twentieth century, the “Tuskegee Airmen” had become famous in newspaper and magazine articles, books, films, television programs, and museum exhibits. Unfortunately, their story was told not only by historians using primary source documents, but also by others less familiar with history than with legend. A number of false claims circulated, many of them based on an ignorance of the chronological sequence of events that formed the skeleton of the true story. This book is an effort to provide a framework for Tuskegee Airmen history while at the same time revealing their historically significant accomplishments. Having worked at the Air Force Historical Research Agency for more than thirty-two years, I have developed an appreciation for the invaluable collection of documents on Army Air Forces organizations in World War II that is maintained there. Many of the documents describe the most famous Tuskegee Airmen organizations such as the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302nd Fighter Squadrons that were assigned to the 332nd Fighter Group during World War II, which escorted American B-17 and B-24 bombers over Nazi targets in central Europe, its pilots flying red-tailed P-51 Mustangs.

General Charles McGee General Charles McGee was born on December 7, 1919 in Cleveland, Ohio. He traveled frequently during his childhood years. His father was a minister and the family moved to the states of Ohio, Florida, West Virginia, and Illinois. Acknowledging the value of education, McGee worked hard to save up enough to enroll at the University of Illinois. While in college, he gained an interest in the armed forces through participation in his university’s Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program. As the United States’ participation in World War II gradually approached, Charles decided to move to Chanute Field, Illinois, where he heard that the army was planning to train black soldiers as mechanics for the upcoming black flight program. He applied, passed the examination, and was sent to the Tuskegee Army Airfield in Tuskegee, Alabama to begin his flight training. A year after his graduation from flight school in 1943, McGee was appointed to Second Lieutenant and joined the 332nd Fighter Group, better known as the “Red Tails”.

As much as I would like to think that I was able to develop wings on my own while darting into the abyss, there would have most certainly been some pretty hard landings if not for some incredible individuals who guided me through the entire process. Firstly, to all of the individuals who took the time out of their busy lives to sit down with an unknown girl from across the country, I am forever grateful for your candour, passion and openness. Although interviews were only part of my multiple source strategy, it was your voices that were able to breath life into this project and remind us all that at the heart of the democratic process are the people it is intended to represent and assist. Secondly, to Dr. Ana Prata and Dr. Amy Denissen, who have been incredible committee members: to both of you, I sincerely appreciate your invaluable feedback and support over the course of the last year.
