  • The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillm
    “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming.

And that is saying a lot in the wake of the more than two-year witch hunt against President Trump. The reason why the complete exoneration of Lyn- don LaRouche is synonymous with the fate of the United States, lies both in the threat which his oppo- nents pose to the very existence of the U.S.A. as a republic, and thus for the entire world, it system, the International Development Bank, which and also in the implications of his ideas for America’s fu- he elaborated over the years into a New Bretton Woods ture survival.

  • Spiro Agnew and the Golden Age of Corruption in Maryland Politics: an Interview with Ben Bradlee and Richard Cohen of the Washington Post
    Spiro Agnew and the Golden Age of Corruption in Maryland Politics: An Interview with Ben Bradlee and Richard Cohen of The Washington Post Edited by Charles J. Holden and Zach Messitte The Occasional Papers of The Center for the Study of Democracy Volume 2, Number 1, Fall 2006 The Center for the Study of Democracy: A Better Understanding of Maryland and the World There have been forty-three Presidents and forty-six Vice Presidents of the United States. Spiro Agnew is the only Marylander ever elected to either national office. Born to a Greek immigrant father in Baltimore in 1918, Agnew attended Johns Hopkins University and the University of Baltimore Law School. He served in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II and was awarded the Bronze Star. Agnew served as Baltimore County Executive from 1962-1966 and as Governor of Maryland from 1967- 1969. He stepped down as Governor to serve as Richard Nixon’s Vice President from 1969-1973. In 1973, he resigned the vice presidency and pled no contest to charges of tax evasion. After his resignation he wrote a novel, pursued a career as an international businessman, and maintained a beach house in Ocean City, Maryland where he died in 1996. Despite Agnew’s fascinating political career, no one has yet written a definitive biography about Maryland’s only vice-president. Richard Cohen, a syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, covered Annapolis for the newspaper in the early 1970s and broke many of the stories in the fall of 1973 that chronicled Agnew’s legal travails.

  • Lynnwood Taylor Transcript
    1 Interview with Lynnwood M. Taylor January 8, 2008; University of Baltimore Interviewers: Duane Howard and Christina Ralls Transcriber: Duane Howard Howard: For the record, could you state your full name? Taylor: My name is Lynnwood Melvin Taylor. Howard: Mr. Taylor, could you tell me your situation in the late 1960s around ‘67 and ’68? How old you were... Taylor: Let’s see, 1968, that would make me seventeen years old. In April, I would have been a junior in high school—Forest Park High School, here in Baltimore, Maryland. And I was living in Northwest Baltimore in the Ashburton section, a very safe community of preachers and middle-class African-American families at the time. It was known as “Preachers’ Row,” because a lot of preachers and, as I said, educators lived in Ashburton during that period. Howard: Can you describe your level of interaction with other races at that time? Taylor: That which we refer to now as “white flight” was in high gear at that time. The Jewish community was fleeing Ashburton…the WASP, if you were, were also fleeing, because a new middle class of Negroes—Black folks, African Americans—were moving into the Ashburton area of Baltimore City. Howard: So at seventeen, did you live there? Were you born and raised there? Taylor: Yes, I was—no, I was not born there. I was born in South Baltimore, but my family, like so many at that time, saw an opportunity for us to move into this new middle- class [enclave], and my parents took that leap.

From her days as a high school student in Baltimore in the mid-1920s, until rendered physi- cally immobile by a stroke in the late-1980s, Juanita Mitchell pressed those themes upon all within the sound of her voice. It was as a high school student that she inspired her classmates to enter the segre- gated stores in downtown Baltimore and, by speaking French, ex- pose the absurdity of their segregationist practices. Throughout the tumultuous years of the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies and into the eighties, Juanita Mitchell manned the barri- cades, sometimes at the side of her sainted mother, Dr.
