Several years ago I was reading Harvard Sitkoff's "Harry Truman and the Election of 1948: The Coming of Age of Civil Rights in American Politics," in the Journal of Southern History, [37, 1971]. I was surprised to learn that the Republican party had proposed stronger planks on civil rights than the Democrats in both 1940 and 1944. This seemed curious: the "conservative" Republican party offering African Americans more than the "liberal" Democratic party? Of course, I knew about Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, th th Emancipation and the 13 , 14th and 15 Amendments, but it seemed that African Americans had voted for the Democrats for a very long time. Intrigued, I decided to find out when and why African Americans had abandoned the party of Abraham Lincoln and embraced the party of Jefferson Davis. I mentioned this to Robert Cook, my MA supervisor, and his immediate reaction was "there's a book in that." It is not a book as yet, but it has yielded several articles and conference papers and IS now presented as a doctoral dissertation. iv I have incurred a great number of debts, both personal and professional, over the course of the last four and a half years and I would like to briefly acknowledge some of the people who have helped to bring my thesis to fruition. I have been fortunate enough to win a number of research grants to help me carry out my work. I would first like to thank Hans Krannebaum and the Roosevelt Study Center, in Middleburg, the Netherlands, for a grant, in the summer of 1998, to look at the papers of Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt and Harry Truman, as well as the Congressional Record. Particular thanks go to Arjen Westerhoff. The Faculty of Arts Research Executive (FARE) twice entrusted me with the University of Hull's money. In 1998 FARE funded a trip to the University of Indiana, Bloomington, to look at the papers of Wendell Willkie, and then in 2000 funded a trip to the University of Rochester, New York, to look at the papers of Thomas Dewey. The staff at the Lilly Library at the University of Indiana were extremely helpful throughout my stay in Bloomington, but a special mention must go to v Helen Walsh and her son Alan for taking the time to show me the sights and sounds of Bloomington. My research was funded in part by an Alfred M. Landon Historical Research Grant funded by the Kansas State Historical Society, Inc. I would like to thank David Haury and all the staff at the KSHS for their co-operation during my time with them. I was also greatly assisted by the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch, Iowa, by their award of the Herbert Hoover Grant in 2000. Everywhere I went in America I was impressed by the knowledge and dedication of librarians and archivists, but no more so than at the Hoover Library. Special tribute has to be paid to Pat Wildenburg (and family) for both his considerable knowledge and his equally considerable hospitality and friendship. In Rochester, I am indebted to Mary Huth and the archival staff at the Rush Rhees Library, I am also very grateful to Mary Menard for her generous hospitality during my stay with her. Thanks are also due to Tony Badger and the vi Mellon Fund for their assistance while I was looking at the NAACP papers at Cambridge University. Professor John Ashworth and Dr John White were entrusted with supervising this thesis and I am deeply indebted to both. I am especially appreciative of JA's skill as a historian and "Jay Dubya's" considerable knowledge of the civil rights movement and eye for detail. Thanks to Henrice Altink for proof reading, tea and sympathy, Emily Gilbert for putting me up during my stint at the LSE, Sean Kelly for various instances of hospitality and Dave Masterson (and the staff of the Hooper Building, University of Lincoln) for his indulgence while I was writing up. Thanks are also due to my fellow GTAs at Hull and especially Dave Evans, my office mate for three years. I am extremely grateful to the all the staff of Department of American Studies at the University of Hull for their help and support over the last four and a half years; I would like to pay particular tribute to Dr Jenel Virden and Dr John Osborne. vii Very special thanks go to Dr William Riches, recently retired from the University of Ulster, for his support, faith and countless references over the last ten years. Without Bill's guidance and encouragement my career path would have been very different. Love and thanks to my family for their unfaltering support. My parents, George and Ena, have always valued education and I hope I have repaid their faith in me, while my brothers, Phil and Andrew, have always been there for me. It is to my family that this thesis is dedicated. SDT, Hull, March 2002. viii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS.

RP Review of Politics. x INTRODUCTION. The Mantle of Lincoln. "The party of Lincoln," announced the most senior African American Republican, "has not always carried the mantle of Lincoln." The party had to take the initiative in "reaching out to minority communities," the African American community In particular, "and not just during an election year campaign." There was a need, he continued, to give minorities a "competitive choice" in the forthcoming election. The speaker was Colin Powell at the 2000 Republican convention in Philadelphia.) Yet any African American Republican over the previous one hundred years could have made the same statement. In 1944, for instance, Robert R. Church, one of the few African American Republicans to operate with any kind of influence in the South, told the party that it had to be "courageous enough to rededicate itself to the principles upon which it was founded." Powell's speech demonstrates that the words of Church, and countless others, had gone unheeded.

    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement, Mary Mcleod Bethune Council House National Historic Site
    Final General Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site Washington, D.C. Final General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement _____________________________________________________________________________ Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site Washington, District of Columbia The National Park Service is preparing a general management plan to clearly define a direction for resource preservation and visitor use at the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site for the next 10 to 15 years. A general management plan takes a long-range view and provides a framework for proactive decision making about visitor use, managing the natural and cultural resources at the site, developing the site, and addressing future opportunities and problems. This is the first NPS comprehensive management plan prepared f or the national historic site. As required, this general management plan presents to the public a range of alternatives for managing the site, including a preferred alternative; the management plan also analyzes and presents the resource and socioeconomic impacts or consequences of implementing each of those alternatives the “Environmental Consequences” section of this document. All alternatives propose new interpretive exhibits. Alternative 1, a “no-action” alternative, presents what would happen under a continuation of current management trends and provides a basis for comparing the other alternatives. Al t e r n a t i v e 2 , the preferred alternative, expands interpretation of the house and the life of Bethune, and the archives. It recommends the purchase and rehabilitation of an adjacent row house to provide space for orientation, restrooms, and offices. Moving visitor orientation to an adjacent building would provide additional visitor services while slightly decreasing the impacts of visitors on the historic structure.
