  • Teaching the March on Washington
    Nearly a quarter-million people descended on the nation’s capital for the 1963 March on Washington. As the signs on the opposite page remind us, the march was not only for civil rights but also for jobs and freedom. Bottom left: Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech during the historic event, stands with marchers. Bottom right: A. Philip Randolph, the architect of the march, links arms with Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers and the most prominent white labor leader to endorse the march. Teaching the March on Washington O n August 28, 1963, the March on Washington captivated the nation’s attention. Nearly a quarter-million people—African Americans and whites, Christians and Jews, along with those of other races and creeds— gathered in the nation’s capital. They came from across the country to demand equal rights and civil rights, social justice and economic justice, and an end to exploitation and discrimination. After all, the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” was the march’s official name, though with the passage of time, “for Jobs and Freedom” has tended to fade. ; The march was the brainchild of longtime labor leader A. PhilipR andolph, and was organized by Bayard RINGER Rustin, a charismatic civil rights activist. Together, they orchestrated the largest nonviolent, mass protest T in American history. It was a day full of songs and speeches, the most famous of which Martin Luther King : AFP/S Jr. delivered in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial. top 23, 23, GE Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the march.

  • Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: a Political Portrait and Personal Recollection
    Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: A Political Portrait and Personal Recollection Rachelle Horowitz Editor’s Note: The names of Tom Kahn and Rachelle Horowitz should be better known than they are. Civil rights leader John Lewis certainly knew them. Recalling how the 1963 March on Washington was organised he said, ‘I remember this young lady, Rachelle Horowitz, who worked under Bayard [Rustin], and Rachelle, you could call her at three o'clock in the morning, and say, "Rachelle, how many buses are coming from New York? How many trains coming out of the south? How many buses coming from Philadelphia? How many planes coming from California?" and she could tell you because Rachelle Horowitz and Bayard Rustin worked so closely together. They put that thing together.’ There were compensations, though. Activist Joyce Ladner, who shared Rachelle Horowitz's one bedroom apartment that summer, recalled, ‘There were nights when I came in from the office exhausted and ready to sleep on the sofa, only to find that I had to wait until Bobby Dylan finished playing his guitar and trying out new songs he was working on before I could claim my bed.’ Tom Kahn also played a major role in organising the March on Washington, not least in writing (and rewriting) some of the speeches delivered that day, including A. Philip Randolph’s. When he died in 1992 Kahn was praised by the Social Democrats USA as ‘an incandescent writer, organizational Houdini, and guiding spirit of America's Social Democratic community for over 30 years.’ This account of his life was written by his comrade and friend in 2005.

  • The Civil Rights Map of America Creator
    Title: Report of the Detroit Branch of the NAACP Creator: Lillian E. B. Johnson. Date: September 1921 Summary: The Great Migration brought thousands of black Southerners to the North faster than the region could assimilate them. They were confronted with discrimination, socially sanctioned segregation, and racial violence born of white resistance. The majority who went to Michigan settled in Detroit to work in the auto industry, which was willing to hire black workers for lower wages. The NAACP founded a branch there in 1912. This monthly report notes the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan to set up a chapter in Detroit, segregation in Eastern High School, and the refusal of a drug store soda fountain counter to serve black customers. URL: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/civil-rights-act/segregation-era.html#obj256 Title: “NO DOGS, NEGROES, MEXICANS.” Creator: Lonestar Restaurant Association, Dallas, Texas [no date] Summary: Jim Crow laws mandating the separation of the races in practically every aspect of public life were systematically instituted in the South beginning in the 1890s. Water fountains, restaurants, theaters, restrooms, stores, buses, trains, workplaces, and other public facilities were typically designated with “White Only” and “Colored” signs. The Lonestar Restaurant Association based in Dallas distributed this sign to its members to hang in the windows of their restaurants, where American Indians, Mexicans, and African Americans were subjected to Jim Crow laws and racial discrimination. These types of laws existed until the 1960s. URL: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/civil-rights-act/segregation-era.html#obj024 Title: The Civil Rights Map of America Creator: New York: Oceana Publications Date: 1949 Summary: This 1949 map divides the states into three major categories: states with “discrimination for race or color forbidden by law;” states with “segregation of white and colored enforced by law (or permitted);” and states with “no legislation” related to civil rights.

Shea and Don R. Kienzle Initial interview date: April 9, 1997 Copyright 1999 ADST DONAHUPage - DONAHUPage - Shea: Good afternoon. I am Jim Shea. It's the afternoon of April 9, 1997, and we are here in the office of Tom Donahue, the former President [and earlier Secretary-Treasurer] of the AFL- CIO [American Federation of Labor-Committee for Industrial Organization], who is now working for the Center for Dispute Resolution. Tom, can we ask you to tell us a little about your background, especially your connections with international labor. DONAHUE: Sure. I have worked in the labor movement since 1948 and became involved relatively early on with the Labor Attach# Program and with people who worked in international affairs, because I spent three years, from 1957 to 1960, working in Paris. I worked for Radio Free Europe and the Free Europe Committee in Paris and consequently came to have an interest in what was going on in the international labor world and in the Labor Attach# Program. In my early years in the movement, I knew lots of people, many of them were just names to me but they were names of some reputation, who were going into the labor attach# field in the late 1940s and 1950s. Then, through the years, working for the Service Employees Interview with Thomas R. Donahue http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib000300 Library of Congress International Union (SEIU) and later for the Federation (AFL-CIO), I had a lot of ongoing contact with people who worked in the Labor Attach# Corps all around the world.

  • Daniel P. Moynihan to Bayard Rustin, September 30, 1969, Folder R
    " • TH~ WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 30, 1969 Dear Bayard: I enclose a letter being sent to all Upward Bound directors and consultants by Mr. Rumsfeld. This is, of course, in response to your letter to me of August 12 reporting the incredible and intolerable behavior of the former Director of Upward Bound, and enclosing a reply by you to the attack ~hich he had addressed to that group. Mr. Rumsfeld's letter will distribute your reply to all those who received the original letter from Billings. ~ I, In the nature of the situation this is, I suppose, all that can be done. An outrageous charge has been made and distributed, a reply is distributed in return. However, you and I know that the exchange is rarely an equal one. It is clear to me that you have been done an intolerable injury by an official of the United States government. I have established 'that Mr. Billings' letter is dated a day after his resignation from the government, and that it was sent without the knowledge of his superiors in the Office of Economic Opportunity. (Mr. Billings became Deputy Project Manager of the Upward Bound Program in April 1967 and shortly thereafter became Project Manager, which post he left on June 15, 1969 on the occasion of the. transfer of the program from OEO to HEW.) The fact remains that a govern­ ment official, on stationery of the Executive Office of the President, directed an extended personal attack against a private citizen because of views expressed by that citizen .on public issues.

  • SDS's Failure to Realign the Largest Political Coalition in the 20Th Century
    NEW DEAL TO NEW MAJORITY: SDS’S FAILURE TO REALIGN THE LARGEST POLITICAL COALITION IN THE 20TH CENTURY Michael T. Hale A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2015 Committee: Clayton Rosati, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Oliver Boyd-Barret Bill Mullen ii ABSTRACT Clayton Rosati, Advisor Many historical accounts of the failure of the New Left and the ascendency of the New Right blame either the former’s militancy and violence for its lack of success—particularly after 1968—or the latter’s natural majority among essentially conservative American voters. Additionally, most scholarship on the 1960s fails to see the New Right as a social movement. In the struggles over how we understand the 1960s, this narrative, and the memoirs of New Leftists which continue that framework, miss a much more important intellectual and cultural legacy that helps explain the movement’s internal weakness. Rather than blame “evil militants” or a fixed conservative climate that encircled the New Left with both sanctioned and unsanctioned violence and brutality––like the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) counter intelligence program COINTELPRO that provide the conditions for a unstoppable tidal wave “with the election of Richard M. Nixon in 1968 and reached its crescendo in the Moral Majority, the New Right, the Reagan administration, and neo-conservatism” (Breines “Whose New Left” 528)––the key to this legacy and its afterlives, I will argue, is the implicit (and explicit) essentialism bound to narratives of the “unwinnability” of especially the white working class.
