During the last six years the civil rights movement of the 1950-60s has proved to be one of the most popular areas of research, particularly among undergraduates and sixth-form students. The enquiries have covered many different aspects of the movement: school desegregation, bus boycotts, sit-ins, marches, the involvement of white northern college students, the actions of individuals such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the reactions of white southerners and the federal government. This guide will facilitate research on these topics and many others.

  • An Economic Bill of Rights Would Address Inequality – Interview
    Howie Hawkins: An Economic Bill Of Rights Would Address Inequality – Interview eurasiareview.com/17052020-howie-hawkins-an-economic-bill-of-rights-would-address-inequality-interview/ May 17, 2020 Eurasia Review conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Howie Hawkins, nominated as the US Presidential Candidate for the Green Party (with Angela Walker as his vice-presidential running mate) in the 2020 presidential campaign. The interview was focused on the Ecosocialist Green New Deal program and other public policy matters that have a direct impact on the US Economy and overall societal strata. The interview was conducted by Peter M. Tase, a member of Eurasia Review’s editorial team. Mr. Howie Hawkins (born December 8, 1952) is the original Green New Dealer, the first US candidate to campaign for a Green New Deal in 2010. Hawkins is also one of the original Greens in the United States, having participated in the first national meeting to organize a US Green Party in St. Paul, Minnesota in August 1984. Hawkins became active in “The Movement” for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam in the 1960s as a teenager in the San Francisco Bay Area. Repelled by the racism and warmongering he saw in both major parties, Hawkins asked, “Where is my party?” Outside of electoral politics, Hawkins has been a constant organizer in peace, justice, union, and environmental campaigns. When his draft number was called in 1972, Hawkins enlisted in the Marine Corps while continuing to organize against the Vietnam War. Hawkins remains a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, as well as a member of the American Legion Dunbar Post 1642 in Syracuse.

  • Medicare for All National Health Insurance Through a Single Public Payer
    Howie Hawkins Independent Green Populist candidate for US Congress Medicare for All National Health Insurance through a Single Public Payer Howie Hawkins supports HR 676, The United States National Health Insurance Act (Expanded and Improved Medicare For All), a bill in Congress with 91 co-sponsors. Hawkins’ opponents, Democrat Dan Maffei and Republican Dale Sweetland, do not support HR 676. HR 676 provides for publicly financed and privately delivered on health care, yet ranks 37th in health care, according to the World health care for all, with free choice of doctors and hospitals by Health Organization. Medical bills cause over half of US household patients, and comprehensive coverage of all medical services, bankruptcies each year. including prescription drugs and long-term care.

  • The Great Refusal: Herbert Marcuse and Contemporary Social Movements
    Excerpt • Temple University Press 1 Bouazizi’s Refusal and Ours Critical Reflections on the Great Refusal and Contemporary Social Movements Peter N. Funke, Andrew T. Lamas, and Todd Wolfson The Dignity Revolution: A Spark of Refusal n December 17, 2010, in a small rural town in Tunisia, an interaction that happens a thousand times a day in our world—the encounter Obetween repression’s disrespect and humanity’s dignity—became a flashpoint, igniting a global wave of resistance. On this particular day, a police officer confiscated the produce of twenty-six-year-old street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi and allegedly spit in his face and hit him. Humiliated and in search of self-respect, Bouazizi attempted to report the incident to the municipal government; however, he was refused an audience. Soon there- after, Bouazizi doused himself in flammable liquid and set himself on fire. Within hours of his self-immolation, protests started in Bouazizi’s home- town of Sidi Bouzid and then steadily expanded across Tunisia. The protests gave way to labor strikes and, for a few weeks, Tunisians were unified in their demand for significant governmental reforms. During this heightened period of unrest, police and the military responded by violently clamping down on the protests, which led to multiple injuries and deaths. And as is often the case, state violence intensified the situation, resulting in mounting pressure on the government.
