Mid Write a Letter to You the Other Day but Since a Couple of Things Have January 17, 1964 1129 Maple Street, Apt. 3-B Jackson, Mississippi Dr# Zinn— Mid write a letter to you the other day but since a couple of things have come up x± and since I can't discover a record of the letter or of having mailed it I thought it wise to write a gain. The following is en excerpt from a letter I sent to a former professor of mine at SIU: I wonder how you react to the following kind of program and whe­ ther you think that it fits into the acope of your thinking up to this point. I think of a program, perhaps making a special effort to involve faculty from other schools who are sabatticitls at between jobs or something, with three prongs to it* 1, These people would serve as special guest faculty who could work along with the regular Tougaloo faculty to instruct special courses in their respective fields0 These courses would be offered to the regular student body as well as to special students for transferable credit. 2. They should have a large block of time together to use for special seminars on basic problems. These being aimed particularly at the students and other who are not in school at the time but who are working the field in some capacity. Especially impor­ tant here would be the chance to involve people in some of the creative t£pe bull sessions* 3* Finally, it seems to me that there is an infinite range of complex and interesting bunch of research problems, the data from which would have practical and immediate value as well as long range academic and schoolarly significance. end quote. Mindy samstein tells me that you have been working along simlliar lines. Worth Long was here for a day alsoe He suggested that the time to get SNCC action on the idea would be at the exec, comm, session comming up the 24th of this month, which I understand that you plan to attend. In the meantime, I'm trying to work-up a program suggestion that would incorporate this plan along with a couple of others, I would like to know if you think that the kind of thing I suggest would fit into plans that you have and if I could be of any assis­ tance to you in developing the program? I will be free by the end of this month to help out on the legwork that would be involved at least, If you think that it's feasible to try this kind of thing at the present time perhaps we can arrange to get together at the exec comm meeting or sometiime before that If I'm able to get all these ideas down on paper in the next couple of days I'll try to get that to you too for your reaction. Sincerely—- John 0*Ne«l January 30, 196U, Dear John: I just returned from Hattiesburg and Atlanta to find your tetter of January 17 (no, I did not get an earlier letter) and the prospectus for the Free Southern Theater, On the steps of the courthouse in Hattiesburg, in the rain, I spoke ^0 Doris Derby (she's so pretty I) and she told me a little jabout the theater _r oject. It sounds just terrific, the most exciting idea I've come across in a long time. Since the days of the Federal Th ater In the New Deal fchere has been nothing like this. (I'm particularly thrilled because o^ r whole family is theatre connected in minor but loving ways - my wife and daughter are great actresses, my son is a ham, and even I have over-acted on stage), incidentally, a good friend of mine in &ew York is a ^egro playwright, Loften itchell, whose play Land Beyond the hiver (dealing with the first school desegregation case ln S, Carolina) played off-Broadway several years ago; he might have something on paper you might want to do. You shouldn't have trouble enlisting the aid of Oseie ^avis and Ruby Dee* The Executive Committee did not have too much time in ^ectic Hattiesburg. A committee was set up to work on summer plans for Mississippi. But we didn't get to othermatter s, like the plan for education which I submitted. Unfortunately, I don't have a, other copy. Bob Moses has one, and perhaps you can g et it from him. Ild like your reaction. The Atlanta office may have mimeographed it, in which case there are extra copies available there* It seems to me that you would be ideal to work on this program In some way. The basic i dea (to brief you until you do get hold of the plan) is tc have all of the ?00-odd S^CO staff take turns - in groups of 25 or 50 perhaps - going, every three months or so, to a five or six day Intensive "refueling" session in the social sciences and humanities, at a central spot far from scenes of trouble, where iectures, discussions,etc. can be combined with a kind of rest-recreation periqjd. In between those trips, there would be, in every field situation, a small-scale going educational program, with someone in feat place in charge of checking up on people reading, holding occasional discussions, following up on the assignments and plans made in the refueling center. Let's hear from you when possible. I'm ho Ing the SNCC organization will socn be able to get down to doing some­ thing on this educational program, which it seems to me fits in with what you are interested in doing. uhuru HAROLD TAYLOR 241 WEST TWELFTH STREET ELEANOR ROOSEVELT FOUNDATION STUDY NEW YORK 14. NEW YORK OREGON 5-3177 February 2Uth, 196U. Dr. Howard Zinn, U5 Chapin Road, Newtonville, Massachusetts. Dear Dr. Zinn, Last month, at a meeting of student activists in the civil rights movement, one of the students present spoke warmly of your work in the South and of your experience with the Negro colleges. I have also known of the things you have done in the past, and would be very much interested in having your ideas and suggestions about what the Eleanor Roosevelt Foundation could do in the field of human rights, poss­ ibly working through the universities, student groups, labor unions, and religious organizations. I have collected quite a few proposals and concepts, but would like to get your immediate reaction to the possibilities, rather than explaining any given direction in which the study is now taking me. I will look forward to hearing from you as soon as you can manage it. With very best wishes, Ajlil ) (MV^ Harold Taylor \ ELEANOR ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL FOUNDATION Empire State Building, New York 1, N.Y. "She would rather light a candle than LW 4-0440 curse the darkness, and her glow has warmed the world . ." FOR RELEASE: MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1964 The appointment of Dr. Harold Taylor, former President of Sarah Lawrence College, as special Consultant to Adlai E. Stevenson, Chairman of the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation, was an­ nounced today (Monday, January 20th.) Mr. Stevenson said that in implementing the Foundation's policy and goals, Dr. Taylor would conduct a study of human rights problems and recommend appropriate action to be taken by the Foundation. Last June,Mr. Stevenson announced that the Trustees of the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation would give top priority to programs and projects designed to further human rights. The late President Kennedy hailed this decision "with enthusiasm", declaring that he could "think of no more appropriate and enduring memorial to Eleanor Roosevelt." One of the Foundation's Initial projects in this area, begun on Dr. Taylor's recommendation, has been a pilot program in which selected Peace Corps veterans and other qualified individuals are being awarded internships for training in the field of inter- group relations. Awards to 25 "interns" will be made this month and a two-week seminar held in Washington for them before they start their specialized one year-work-study programs under a (more) - 2 - $5000 grant, of which $2500 will be provided by the Foundation and $2500 to be provided by the agency to which the intern is assigned. As part of the Foundation's human rights program, "Community Action Institutes" will be held this Spring, one In the South and another in the North, to help members of newly-established bi-racial commissions in a number of selected cities to discuss ways of meeting the many problems of inter-group relations. In announcing Dr. Taylor's appointment, Mr. Stevenson said: "in our Foundation's quest for a harmonious transition from antagonism to cooperation between peoples, which was at the heart of Mrs. Roosevelt's work and ideals, we welcome the aid of a man of Dr. Taylor's rich experience and deep dedication to the cause of human rights in America and throughout the world." Dr. Taylor, a friend of the late Mrs, Roosevelt, was at one time Vice-Chairman of the New York State Commission Against Dis­ crimination in Education. In the summer of 19&3t be *eh«lueted an experimental World College project on Long Island in eoeperation with the Society ef Friends and twenty-four member nations of the United Nations. The World College curriculum dealt with major issues of world <->rder and human rights. The student body and faculty represented a world cross-section of the Communist, non- Communist and non-aligned countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, Eastern and Western Europe, as well as Canada and the United States.

In faCt in 1967, Hanoi advanCed its politiCal strategy of “combining the politiCal struggle with the armed struggle,”3 making the AmeriCan peaCe movement its Second Front. On Radio Hanoi and in Thoi Moi, Hanoi praised top antiwar leaders in the National Mobe as Comrades in Arms4 and gave them rings made from downed AmeriCan airCraft.5 HenCe, the “peaCe” comrades, using Hanoi’s propaganda, organized protests against the AmeriCan common enemy for conducting an illegal, immoral, Criminal, unjust, raCist, genoCidal, and/or unwinnable war.6 In 1967 Vietnamese communists and leaders of the peace movement met in many places.7 Individuals 8representing many antiwar organizations9 met top Vietnamese Communists.10 Peace movement aCtivists provided Hanoi intelligenCe on the antiwar movement, vetted travelers, coordinated schedules, and disseminated Hanoi’s major propaganda themes.11 Some12 cited in whole or significant part Hanoi propaganda word for word, number for number. Others offered adviCe on improving communist propaganda.13 Some, usually journalists, acted as peace entrepreneurs on Hanoi’s terms.14 The results were mixed.

    The Free University of New York: The New Left’s Self-Education and Transborder Activism Toru Umezaki Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Toru Umezaki All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Free University of New York: The New Left’s Self-Education and Transborder Activism Toru Umezaki This dissertation addresses the unique history of the Free University (School) of New York (FUNY), 1965-1968, in the context of the American radical movement that occurred amidst the international upheaval of national liberations. The Free University of New York was founded by young radical intellectuals who were inspired by the struggles for self-determination that were taking place in Third World countries. Radicals concerned with Third World liberation movements created the anti-Vietnam War group May 2nd Movement, from which the Free University was born. Although FUNY only existed for a short period of time, from 1965 to 1968 it functioned as a center for radical education and politics for intellectuals in leftist circles within New York and in the United States as a whole. The uniqueness of the Free University lay in its experimental education and in its instructors’ activities beyond the U.S. borders. The radical education at the Free University clearly reflected the interests of New Left intellectuals in the Sixties in America. The transborder activism of the Free University instructors included organizing an international pacifist movement against the U.S. involvement in the War in Vietnam, discussing the meaning of liberation with European intellectuals, and importing the idea of national liberation from the Third World revolutions.

LAFLEUR has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Kevin Mattson Professor of History Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT LAFLEUR, RENEE A., Ph.D., November 2011, History Democracy in Action: Community Organizing in Chicago, 1960-1968 Director of Dissertation: Kevin Mattson Like the settlement house movement of the Progressive Era, the neighborhood organizations of the 1960s spoke of great democratic ideals. Both the New Left and the civil rights movement questioned the future of democratic participation in America. This quest for a more democratic society is apparent in both the New Left’s idea of participatory democracy and the civil rights movement’s emphasis on integrationist nonviolent direct action. At the same time, an older organizing tradition experienced a revival. Created by Saul Alinsky years earlier, this method strove to put power back in the hands of ordinary people by building community organizations. Each of these methods sought democracy in different institutions and forms. In this dissertation, I examine the democracies of three groups in Chicago: the New Left organization, JOIN; Alinsky’s The Woodlawn Organization (TWO); and a civil rights group, the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations (CCCO).

  • Entrepreneurship by Queer Women of Color in Newark
    INVISIBLE PATHWAYS: ENTREPRENEURSHIP BY QUEER WOMEN OF COLOR IN NEWARK by KRISTYN SCORSONE A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Dr. Whitney Strub and approved by ____________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2017 ©2017 Kristyn Scorsone ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Invisible Pathways: Entrepreneurship by Queer Women of Color in Newark By KRISTYN SCORSONE Thesis Advisor: Dr. Whitney Strub This thesis challenges ideas about gentrification and queer economic power by examining the oral histories of queer women of color who are engaged in entrepreneurial endeavors in the city of Newark, New Jersey. Centering the experiences of black lesbian entrepreneurs complicates the dominant conception of queer market capitalism as a negative where the focus tends to be on the contributions of white gay men and, to a lesser extent, white lesbians. Through the use of oral history as a member of the Queer Newark Oral History Project at Rutgers University, Newark and drawing on the scholarship of historians such as David K. Johnson, Jeffrey Escoffier, Rochella Thorpe, Mark Krasovic, Kath Weston and Lisa B. Rofel, among others I place the contributions of black queer women within the historical context of queer economies and consumerism as well as within Newark’s economic history. Positioned astride these intersecting black, queer, and urban histories, black lesbian entrepreneurs are currently occupying leadership roles within economic networks that challenge the model of gentrification in a city that is experiencing immense economic development.
