    A Symbol of Virtue Or A Strategy for Votes? John F. Kennedy’s Telephone Call to Coretta King And Its Social And Political Consequences Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Comparative History Daniel Thomas Kryder, Advisor In Partial Fullfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Matthew E. Sullivan May, 2013 ABSTRACT A Symbol of Virtue Or A Strategy for Votes? John F. Kennedy’s Telephone Call to Coretta King And Its Social And Political Consequences A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Comparative History Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Matt Sullivan This thesis examines the effect of a phone conversation between Kennedy and Coretta Scott King concerning Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s unfair imprisonment on the African- American community, and the social and political consequences that followed. By examining Kennedy’s relationship to civil rights before the call, the events surrounding the phone call itself, and the political strategy involved in getting the message of Kennedy’s call to African- Americans, this thesis will attempt to determine Kennedy’s motivations in making the call and if it had any effects. By looking at polling data and voting statistics among African-Americans, this thesis will determine to what extent they supported Kennedy in the election. A chart was developed that examined Kennedy’s motivation for making the call, ranging from instrumental to moral. The effect of the call ranges from a high effect, no effect at all, and a negative effect for Kennedy.

In our early years this expertise was provided through a close affiliation with New England Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry. In the early 1970’s, Dr. Peter Randolph and Dr. George Segal provided much of this consultation and guidance. In 1979, Dr. David Adler a young psychiatrist from the Medical Center began providing clinical training to our front line staff and consultation to our program managers and directors. Over the past 25 years Dr. Adler has trained thousands of staff in the understanding and treatment of individuals who live with mental illness. We have a long and proud history of providing effective and compassionate services to some of our most needy citizens.

    Walk A Mile In Their Shoes A Bullying Report and Prevention Guide for Parents of Children with Special Needs A Bullying Report and Prevention Guide for Parents of Children with Special Needs This important report confirms the presence of a silent epidemic in our schools and “ communities. Hundreds of thousands of children with differences are being subject to humiliation and isolation week in and week out around the country. It is time to bring this problem to light and marshal a call to action to our young people to put an end to it. This report shows us that what you say matters. I hope young leaders around the country will act on it by joining, sharing and leading the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign on March 2, 2011. -Timothy Shriver - Special” Olympics As this report illustrates, bullying - in the form of name-calling, exclusion, “ or violence - is an issue that many individuals with special needs cope with on a daily basis. The resulting humiliation, isolation and pain is something that affects not only these individuals, but also all those around them, including parents, care- givers and teachers. So, I hope that the awareness this report creates, coupled with the valuable suggestions and tips that it offers, leads to an increase in the acceptance and inclusion of individuals with special needs, ultimately putting an end to bullying -Anthony K.

  • Best Buddies International: Creating Opportunities
    Hayburn 1 “I understand and will uphold the ideals of academic honesty as stated in the Honor Code.” Annie Hayburn Dr. Brizee Effective Writing 24 October 2016 Rhetorical Analysis of Cohen’s Article It is no secret that poverty is a problem in American society. Politicians have varying approaches for how to best address this issue. Washington Post reporter Philip Cohen is dissatisfied with the current means employed to fight poverty and argues in his article “American policy fails at reducing child poverty because it aims to fix the poor” that the nation must adopt new policies to better address this problem. In order to convince his audience, Cohen presents the information with appeals to reason, credibility, and emotion using statistics, deduction, induction, authoritative expertise, and emotional diction that highlight the need for new policies regarding poverty. Cohen effectively utilizes each appeal to communicate his message and eloquently minimizes the inclusion of logical fallacies. To best understand Cohen’s position, we must first consider the rhetorical situation of the piece, meaning we must analyze its topic, audience, context, angle, and purpose. Before exploring Cohen’s methods of persuasion, it is necessary to establish the rhetorical situation. With regard to topic, Cohen addresses the poverty of families and children in the United States and the misallocation of federal funds to help alleviate the problem. He is distressed by the fervent emphasis on government policies that address marriage rather than the root of the issue. Cohen crafts his article for his particular audience, specifically Washington Post readers, as well as the elites and politicians who rely on the Post as a trusted news outlet.

  • Kennedy-Familie Besucht Die Universität Heidelberg
    Kennedy-Familie besucht die Universität Heidelberg Eunice Kennedy Shriver und ihr Sohn Anthony K. Shriver stellen Heidelberger Studenten ihr Projekt “Best Buddies” vor Heidelberg, 28. Juni 2005 Fast genau 41 Jahre waren seit dem Besuch von Robert Kennedy im Juni 1963 in Heidelberg vergangen, als letzte Woche erneut Mitglieder der Kennedy-Familie nach Heidelberg kamen. Eunice Kennedy Shriver (83), die Schwester von Robert und John F. Kennedy, begleitete ihren Sohn Anthony K. Shriver (39) auf einer Deutschlandreise. Am Donnerstag, dem 23. Juni 2005, besuchten sie Heidelberg. Organisiert wurde dieser Besuch in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Heidelberg Center for American Studies (HCA). Anlass des Besuchs war die Vorstellung des Wohlfahrtsprojekts “Best Buddies” (Beste Freunde), für das die Kennedys die Unterstützung von Heidelberger Studenten gewinnen wollen. “Best Buddies” wurde 1989 von Anthony Shriver gegründet, während er noch an der Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. studierte. Ziel des Programms ist es, Eins-zu- eins-Freundschaften zwischen Menschen mit und ohne geistige Behinderung zu fördern. Schüler und Studenten sollen ermutigt werden, durch ihr Engagement in solchen Freundschaften geistig behinderte Menschen stärker in die Gesellschaft zu integrieren. Als Anthony Shriver und seine Mutter nach einem kurzen Besuch beim Rektor der Universität, Professor Peter Hommelhoff, den Alten Senatssaal betreten, wartet das Publikum gespannt. Studenten der Universität und der Pädagogischen Hochschule sind gekommen, dazu Vertreter der Stadt Heidelberg, der Lebenshilfe e.V. und anderer Behindertenverbände. In einer kurzen Einführung erinnert Dr. Philipp Gassert, Geschäftsführer des HCA, an die besondere Beziehung der Deutschen zu den Kennedys seit der Rede von “JFK” 1963 vor dem Schöneberger Rathaus in Berlin.

Best Buddies raised nearly $14 million through our national Best Buddies Challenges: Hyannis Port, Hearst Castle, and Miami; enlisted more than 50,000 people to walk for inclusion at Best Buddies Friendship Walks across the nation, and expanded our global reach with the opening of offices in Denmark, Haiti, Ireland, Nigeria, and Tanzania to serve a new community of individuals with special abilities. Best Buddies also launched new Jobs programs in Houston, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; and Long Beach, California, to serve a new community of individuals with special abilities through the power of employment, providing them with the opportunity to earn an income of their own and contribute to their communities in a meaningful way.
