http://www.crmvet.org/info/zellner1.htm

Extractions: Rememberd by Bob Zellner I heard about the march during the planning stage, as a field secretary of SNCC. I was working for the summer of '63 in bloody Danville, Va. I decided to attend because I thought it would be a good way to sum up all the suffering and brave work SNCC and the other organizations and individuals had been doing since the pace of civil rights agitation picked up following the Feb. 1, 1960 lunch counter sit-ins in Greensboro, NC. I traveled with my new bride, Dorothy Miller Zellner. We were married in Atlanta on Aug. 9th, a day or so after I got out of jail in Danville. For our honeymoon we drove to Mobile, Alabama to visit my family and then to California to see movement friends, and then to Corning, New York for a speaking engagement, and then to NY City to visit Dottie's folks, and then to D.C. for the march on Washington, and then to Atlanta to pick up our few personal belongs, and then to Boston where Dottie would run the New England SNCC office on Harvard campus, and I would begin a two year study of sociology at Brandeis University. It surprised me that some of the moderates demanded a change in John's speech and that the leadership went along with it. Another surprise was when Ms Jackson leaded over and said to MLK, "tell them about the dream, Martin." He did and it saved the speech and the day and the rest is history, somewhat sanitized.

Extractions: Stokely Carmichael) Memories I met him in Greenwood, Mississippi in 1963 as Stokely Carmichael: bold, audacious, fearless, inspiring, fun-loving, an infectious grin; his presence filled a room. People there thought he had a streak of craziness because he personally and "in your face" confronted Mississippi authority. But he had a purpose: to strip away the psychological intimidation of white supremacy. Black Power emerged as SNCC's slogan in 1966, but since its shift in 1962 from direct action to voter registration and community organizing, SNCC had been about black power. I thought it was better to walk softly with a big stick than to talk loudly with almost no stick at all. He disagreed. His strategy at the time was to "use the white media" to talk to the Black community. He thought the central problem was one of consciousness, and that until Africans in America were freed from their white-defined or limited consciousness they would never be free. In the mid-'60s, Stokely talked about an organizing campaign to "Free DC." Home rule was to be its goal; under that umbrella racism in all its manifestations would be challenged. When he wasn't the public agitator, he was a careful organizer. He could have done something significant in DC. I wish he had taken that course; his call was to a different drummer. He left the US 30 years ago and took residence in Africa. In May, 1988, he wrote me after attending a SNCC reunion, "(I)t was interesting to see them/us together. Many you know have already accepted their laurels and do not even pretend to see the need for further reforms. For them the '60s put everything in place and they did it. Well I still see Revolution and continue to work for it. So communicating with you at least lets me know there are still some crazy ones, even if not as crazy as I." I responded, "As to revolution versus reform, I'm taken with a couple of new formulations: 'revorm' or 'refolution'. Both imply that there needs to be a basic change in the relations of power and property, but I don't want to throw everything out. Pol Pot and Shining Path leave me cold."

A hearing in the case Barlow v. Wilson has been set in Alameda County Superior Court for Friday, April 3 at 1:45 PM in Department 81 before Judge Henry E. Needham. The plaintiffs who include members of the academic and business communities charge that Governor Wilson's sweeping Executive Order represents an unlawful attempt to repeal a California law requiring the state to monitor the participation of minority- and women-owned businesses in state contracts. The Order, among other actions, struck provisions instructing agencies to gather data used to monitor the fair and equitable awarding of more than $1 billion in state contracts. "In order to understand and combat discrimination, policy-makers, community groups and the public must be informed about the state's use of taxpayer funds," said attorney Oren Sellstrom of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights.

Extractions: e-mail diane-jeske@uiowa.edu The College of Liberal Arts offers an interdisciplinary program that leads to a certificate in Philosophies and Ethics of Politics, Law, and Economics (PEOPLE). The PEOPLE program is based on the assumption that societies institutionalize values; they guide conduct by regulating opportunities, prescribing behavior, and influencing beliefs and attitudes. The goal of the PEOPLE program is to help students both understand and evaluate these complex relationships by examining them from a variety of perspectives. Although not designed exclusively for them, the PEOPLE program may be especially attractive to students who are planning to attend law school after graduation. Students who are considering a career in planning, politics, or public administration may also find the PEOPLE program highly useful. Undergraduates in economics, philosophy, political science, or sociology may discover that many PEOPLE requirements are met in the process of completing the requirements for their major or minor, so that pursuing the PEOPLE certificate as an additional goal is a manageable and useful project. However, a major or minor in one of these disciplines is not required to complete the program. Certificate Students who complete the PEOPLE program earn a certificate, and the notation "Certificate in the Philosophies and Ethics of Politics, Law, and Economics" appears on their transcripts.

Extractions: Program The program encompasses courses that are offered by various humanities departments within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, as well as those that are offered by several of Columbia University's professional schools, including Law, Journalism, Business, Social Work, Public Health, Teachers College, and the School of International and Public Affairs. The program concludes with a substantial paper that brings synthesized perspectives from two (or more) disciplines to bear on a limited topic within the student's area of concentration. Since relatively few courses meet during evening hours, it would be difficult to complete this program taking evening courses alone. All students in the program should consult the program director regularly. The requirements here are special to the program and should be considered in conjunction with the general requirements for the Liberal Studies M.A. degree. Thirty points of courses dealing with human rights are required. No transfer credit will be given for courses taken outside Columbia. Courses should be distributed in accordance with the following specific requirements: 12 points in general human rights courses including: 1 course on Human Rights and International Organizations (for example IA U6142 or

President John F. Kennedy said that the Birmingham pictures on the front page of the Washington Post made him sick. Some of his queasiness no doubt resulted from having to explain those pictures to African leaders. As his aide Harris Wofford had written to him in 1962, on returning from an African tour, "Ending discrimination in America would do more to promote good relations with Africa than anything else." It was partly in response to the Birmingham protests that Kennedy initiated the bill that, after his death, would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

http://www.bu.edu/irsd/articles/discrimination.htm

Extractions: I The literature reviewed in the papers in this symposium suggests that discrimination against women and blacks still exists. In credit, housing, and labor markets there are measurable differences in the terms at which similarly situated men and women, and comparably placed persons of different racial groups, transact. We cannot confidently assume that markets free from monopoly conditions will automatically eliminate such discrimination. Each of the authors, in their respective ways, makes this point, and it is a point worth making. But, this is not really a very surprising observation, nor does it present an insuperable challenge to economic theory. It seems to me that this way of thinking about the problem is too narrow. With respect to wages, for example, the focus is on the demand side of the labor market—on the employer’s so-called "taste for discrimination." The underlying normative idea is that discrimination is bad, a legitimate object of regulatory intervention, and a significant contributor to the scourge of race and sex inequality in society. Implicit here is the notion that if inequality were due to supply side differences—in the skills presented to employers by blacks and whites, for example—then the resulting disparity would not raise the same moral issues, or give a comparable warrant for market intervention. With respect to housing markets, the view is that residential segregation induced by the discriminatory behavior of realtors is a more severe problem than the segregation that comes about because of the freely chosen decisions of fairly treated market participants.

SCLC decided to launch the Poor People's Campaign, a movement to broadly address economic inequalities with nonviolent direct action. SCLC planned the Poor People's Campaign to be the most massive, widespread campaign of civil disobedience yet undertaken by a movement. They aimed to bring fifteen thousand protesters to Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress and other governmental agencies for an "economic bill of rights."

Extractions: B.A., Barnard College; M.A., Ph.D., Washington University, St. Louis The major in sociology prepares you to understand, research, and critically assess the wide range of issues confronting the various societies of the modern world. Sociologists study such topics as the causes of wealth and poverty; the changing roles of men, women, and families; the migration of the world's population; racial, ethnic, and religious conflicts in many societies; crime, deviance, and punishment; the role of religious and cultural values; and how societies reform and change over time. Graduates of the Sociology Department have distinguished themselves as social workers, college professors, lawyers, teachers, personnel directors, probation officers, missionaries, journalists, pastoral counselors, corporate managers, market researchers, and social researchers. They also have made a very important contribution to the work of creating more just social structures through their involvement in movements for social justice, peace, civil rights, women's rights, democracy, and human rights throughout the world.

With this administration, McAuliffe said, the message to African Americans, Hispanics and other minorities, the message is clear: your concerns come dead last. To which Catholic League president William Donohue responded: The effrontery of Terry McAuliffe is unparalleled: here is a man who runs with anti-Catholics and has the gall to sell himself as a champion of equality. Whatever one thinks about affirmative action, it is beyond belief that any public person who supports it would allow himself to be used by anti-Catholics like Frances Kissling.
