Carter, a right-wing radio announcer and founder of his own Ku Klux Klan organization, was a man with a dark, troubling past. "He had a long history of violence, in fact, it’s not an exaggeration to call him something of a kind of psychopath," says Wallace biographer Dan Carter. Asa Carter had shot two men in a dispute over money just a few years before joining Wallace’s campaign, and his Klan group shared his volatile temperament. "In one eighteen-month period," recounts Dan Carter in his George Wallace biography, "his followers joined in the stoning of Autherine Lucy on the University of Alabama campus, assaulted black singer Nat King Cole on a Birmingham stage, beat Birmingham civil rights activist Fred Shuttlesworth and stabbed his wife, and, in what was billed as a warning to potential black ‘trouble-makers,’ castrated a randomly-chosen, slightly retarded black handyman." Political observers noted a new punch in Wallace’s stump speeches during the ‘62 campaign, and Carter was credited for the change. "[Asa Carter] was this little quiet guy who always looked like he needed a shave," remembers Alabama journalist Wayne Greenhaw. "He was a hell of a writer.

  • Labor, Democrats and the Third Way
    LABOR RESEARCH REVIEW #22 Labor, Democrats and the Third Way • Ellen David Friedman This past winter the Massachusetts AFL-CIO made a striking gesture. Still smarting from the battle over the North American Free Trade Agreement, the state federation decided to withhold routine PAC con­ tributions from Congressional members who had voted for NAFTA. The decision stood in stark contrast to the many decades in which orga­ nized labor offered fairly unconditional, uncritical support to the Demo­ cratic Party and its candidates, even when Democrats failed to behave as allies. And while the Massachusetts example is singular and perhaps not an example of broader currents, it should be seen in light of other phenomena: the dissolution of rank-and-file unionists as a predictable Democratic voting block; the assertive distancing by the Democratic Party from its traditional constituencies (for example, acceding to the popular image that minorities, women, and workers are "special inter­ ests"); the emergence of H. Ross Perot and his surprising appeal to some sectors of unionized voters; and the growing interest among local labor leadership in Labor Party Advocates, a pre-labor party organization. This is a moment in which old certainties about organized labor and the Democrats are becoming less certain; it is a circumstance that progressives within the labor movement should welcome and work with. • Ellen David Friedman is an organizer with the Vermont National Education Association. \ 76 Labor Research Review #22 The possibilities for shaping a different relationship between the two seem to be increasing—whether the goal is to compel the Democratic Party towards greater respect for labor's agenda, or to build a new party founded on labor's agenda.

Now I understand that you were born in Columbia, South Carolina, to Charles and Bessie Trippett Boineau. Could you describe your early life and childhood? Boineau: My father was in the brokerage and storage business here in Columbia and in 1931, went out on his own and started Boineau's Moving and Storage. We were living in Columbia at that time, until my mother, Bessie Trippett Boineau, was asked by her mother, my maternal grandmother, to move to Boykin, which was outside of Camden, to help save the plantation which my grandmother had inherited. It was [located] part in Kershaw County and part in Sumter County. Woods: Was that the Midfield...? Boineau: Midfield's Plantation, right. It was quite an undertaking and my mother had no knowledge of farming, but when Mamma, as we called...she was Bessie Cash Irby. Incidentally, my grandmother was the daughter of Colonel Ellerbee Bogan Crawford Cash, who fought the last legal duel in South Carolina. I often joke that since Colonel Cash was successful and was the winner of the duel, I was around to be the first Republican.

  • Immigration and SPLC
    Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder March 2010 Immigration and the SPLC How the Southern Poverty Law Center Invented a Smear, Served La Raza, Manipulated the Press, and Duped its Donors By Jerry Kammer Introduction This report examines the efforts by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to smear the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and, by extension, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and NumbersUSA. With no serious analysis, the SPLC in late 2007 unilaterally labeled FAIR a “hate group.” That poisonous designation became the centerpiece of a “Stop the Hate” campaign launched by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), also known as La Raza, to call on Congress and the media to exclude FAIR from the national debate on immigration. The campaign gathered strength as newspapers across the country reported that FAIR had been “designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.” While the news stories generally included FAIR’s denial of the charge, thereby providing a semblance of balance, the designation’s taint lingered. The SPLC, presenting itself as a non-partisan, public-interest watchdog, never acknowledged — and no reporter ever disclosed — that the center was an active ally of the NCLR in the campaign. The evidence presented here demonstrates that the SPLC became a propaganda arm of the NCLR. The SPLC’s decision to smear FAIR was the work of a kangaroo court, one convened to reach a pre-determined verdict by inventing or distorting evidence. The “Stop the Hate” campaign would more accurately be labeled as a campaign to “Stop the Debate.” As this report notes, FAIR, CIS, and NumbersUSA have raised questions about the social, economic, and fiscal costs of the “comprehensive immigration reform” sought by La Raza and such allies as the National Immigration Forum and America’s Voice.

    Interview with Bill Baxley, attorney general of Alabama, July 9, 197^, conducted by Jack Bass and Walter De Vries, transcribed by Linda Killen. Baxley:—he had a lot of human feelings. A lot of us have, I reckon. Kept him from doing a lot of it, but at least he really, honestly be lieved in what he said and he said it at a time when it was unpopular. So I've been a fan of his a long time. Really kind of a tragic figure. Walter De Vries: <e±stma-f^W*** • Baxley: Yeah. W.D.V.: How's he doing now? Baxley: Oh, he's penniless. Lives on a little pension that Wallace got passed for him. Doesn't pay any bills. They even took his tele phone out of his house. Sad, tragic figure. W.D.V.: Did he do any campaigning? Baxley: Oh, as a joke he puts his name on a ballot. Just a little joke. Really. .. to goad Wallace. W.D.V.: What did your father do? Baxley$ He was a lawyer and a circuit judge down in south Alabama. Very nonpolitical. He was a student of the law. Real, old scholar. Didn't know anything about politics. Didn't care anything about it. Hated the fact that I was interested in it. W.D.V.: How did you get involved in it? Baxley: Well, when I was a kid the only two things I wanted to be was either a major league baseball player or a politician.
