  • The Idea of Freedom in American History Eric Foner Dewitt Clinton
    The Idea of Freedom in American History Eric Foner DeWitt Clinton Professor of History Columbia University I wish to begin today with a single episode in the history of American freedom. On September 16, 1947, the 160th anniversary of the signing of the U. S. Constitution, the Freedom Train opened to the public in Philadelphia. A traveling exhibition of some 133 historical documents, the train, bedecked in red, white, and blue, soon embarked on a 16-month tour that took it to over 300 American cities. Never before or since have so many cherished pieces of Americana -- among them the Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, and Gettysburg Address -- been assembled in one place. After leaving the train, visitors were exhorted to dedicate themselves to American values by taking the Freedom Pledge and adding their names to a Freedom Scroll. The idea for the Freedom Train, perhaps the most elaborate peacetime patriotic campaign in American history, originated in 1946 with the Department of Justice. President Truman endorsed it as a way of contrasting American freedom with "the destruction of liberty by the Hitler tyranny." Since direct government funding smacked of propaganda, however, the project was turned over to the non-profit American Heritage Foundation, whose board of trustees, dominated by leading bankers and industrialists, was headed by Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank. By any measure, the Freedom Train was an enormous success. It attracted - 2 - over 3.5 million visitors, and millions more took part in the civic activities that accompanied its journey, including labor-management forums, educational programs, and patriotic parades.

Strongly supported by the Archivist of the United States and later President Harry S. Truman, the train would display documents demonstrating celebrating American liberty. After the American Heritage Foundation was formed to oversee the financial and operational logistics of the project, the Freedom Train left from Philadelphia on September 17, 1947 to begin a year-long, 33,000 mile journey to every state in the Union. The train carried 127 historical documents, including the Magna Carta, the Gettysburg Address, Francis Scott Key’s Manuscript of the “Star Spangled Banner,” the Emancipation Proclamation, German surrender documents, and the Declaration of Independence. The goal of the tour was to inspire patriotism and instill citizenship after the difficulties of the Great Depression and World War II; the motto of the Freedom Train was “Freedom is everybody’s job!” The mayor of Bloomington proclaimed July 8-14 as a “Week of Rededication” to coincide with the arrival of the Freedom Train. Each day had a specific theme: Bench and Bar Day, Youth Dedication Day, Religious Freedom Day, Labor and Management Day, and Farm Day, all leading up to the arrival of the Freedom Train on July 14.

  • The American Freedom Train Toured the Country in 1975–76 in Order to Commemorate Our Nation’S Bicentennial
    14th Sunday Ordinary Time Year “B” Faith and Freedom July 3-4-, 2021 Readings: Ezekiel 2: 2-5; 2 Cor. 12: 7-10; Mark 6:1-6 The American Freedom Train toured the country in 1975–76 in order to commemorate our nation’s Bicentennial. At age 12, I was sufficiently impressionable to recall the celebrations, and it served as good news following the ending of the contentious Vietnam War, a little more than a year earlier. It consisted of 10 rail cars carrying American treasures across the country, with stops in all 48 contiguous states. It included George Washington’s copy of the Constitution, the original Louisiana Purchase and even Judy Garland’s Wizard of Oz dress! It made its stop locally right around my birthday in August of 1975. People were starting to feel better about our country; we were rebuilding following Vietnam and Watergate. We recited the Pledged of Allegiance daily; television stations began the day with the Star-Spangled Banner after ending the broadcasts for the evening. No 24/7 news in those days. The 245th anniversary of our nation gives us an opportunity to reflect upon our faith and our freedoms. Are we true to the ideals of our Founding Fathers? Consider: “We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America…appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, (declare independence)– And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor”.1 These words are filled with meaning.

  • Thesis: a Series of Events Occurred in the 1940'S Which
    The Black Vote’s Impact on the Descent of Boss Crump Scott Bayer In 1940 Edward Hull Crump, often called Boss Crump, was the leader of one of the most powerful political organizations in the United States. The Crump machine was as strong as ever as the man who migrated to Memphis from Holly Springs Mississippi had transformed himself into the most influential man in Shelby County and perhaps the state of Tennessee. By 1948, however, Crump’s grip over Memphis had loosened and the machine which had won over 100 elections no longer seemed invincible. Beginning in 1940, a series of confrontations between black citizens and the white police force in Memphis occurred which escalated tension between Crump and the black community. Although Crump and other city officials made some effort to please the blacks in Memphis, these usually took the form of petty concessions such as parks and housing facilities. The officials’ refusal to offer racial equality was heightened by several incidents in which Crump upheld the notion of white supremacy and segregation. As the decade neared a close, the black community demonstrated their willingness to defy Crump’s authority and assert black power through their vote. Whereas before the black population was swayed by Crump’s political antics and incentives, the inconsistency in his support of equality among the black and white population and the abuse of their rights eventually led to the loss of their vote. This ended in a rare defeat for Crump in the 1948 senatorial and gubernatorial election and the decline of his political machine.
