Concentration Camps on the Home Front: Japanese Americans in the House of Jim Crow

Concentration Camps on the Home Front: Japanese Americans in the House of Jim Crow Review

Concentration Camps on the Home Front: Japanese Americans in the House of Jim Crow Overview

Without trial and without due process, the United States government locked up nearly all of those citizens and longtime residents who were of Japanese descent during World War II. Ten concentration camps were set up across the country to confine over 120,000 inmates. Almost 20,000 of them were shipped to the only two camps in the segregated South—Jerome and Rohwer in Arkansas—locations that put them right in the heart of a much older, long-festering system of racist oppression. The first history of these Arkansas camps, Concentration Camps on the Home Front is an eye-opening account of the inmates’ experiences and a searing examination of American imperialism and racist hysteria.

While the basic facts of Japanese-American incarceration are well known, John Howard’s extensive research gives voice to those whose stories have been forgotten or ignored. He highlights the roles of women, first-generation immigrants, and those who forcefully resisted their incarceration by speaking out against dangerous working conditions and white racism. In addition to this overlooked history of dissent, Howard also exposes the government’s aggressive campaign to Americanize the inmates and even convert them to Christianity. After the war ended, this movement culminated in the dispersal of the prisoners across the nation in a calculated effort to break up ethnic enclaves.

Howard’s re-creation of life in the camps is powerful, provocative, and disturbing. Concentration Camps on the Home Front rewrites a notorious chapter in American history—a shameful story that nonetheless speaks to the strength of human resilience in the face of even the most grievous injustices.

From Scottsboro to Munich: Race and Political Culture in 1930s Britain

From Scottsboro to Munich: Race and Political Culture in 1930s Britain Review

From Scottsboro to Munich: Race and Political Culture in 1930s Britain Overview

Presenting a portrait of engaged, activist lives in the 1930s, From Scottsboro to Munich follows a global network of individuals and organizations that posed challenges to the racism and colonialism of the era. Susan Pennybacker positions race at the center of the British, imperial, and transatlantic political culture of the 1930s--from Jim Crow, to imperial London, to the events leading to the Munich Crisis--offering a provocative new understanding of the conflicts, politics, and solidarities of the years leading to World War II.

Pennybacker examines the British Scottsboro defense campaign, inaugurated after nine young African Americans were unjustly charged with raping two white women in Alabama in 1931. She explores the visit to Britain of Ada Wright, the mother of two of the defendants. Pennybacker also considers British responses to the Meerut Conspiracy Trial in India, the role that antislavery and refugee politics played in attempts to appease Hitler at Munich, and the work of key figures like Trinidadian George Padmore in opposing Jim Crow and anti-Semitism. Pennybacker uses a wide variety of archival materials drawn from Russian Comintern, Dutch, French, British, and American collections. Literary and biographical sources are complemented by rich photographic images.

From Scottsboro to Munich sheds new light on the racial debates of the 1930s, the lives and achievements of committed activists and their supporters, and the political challenges that arose in the postwar years.

Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra, voc. Mildred Bailey - I Like To Do Things For You, Odeon 1930 (USA) ------------------------------------------------------------- Frank TRUMBAUER (b. in Carbondale, Illinois 1901 -- d. 1956) was one of the leading jazz saxophonists of the 1920s and 1930s. He played C-melody saxophone, which in size is between an alto and tenor saxophone. He also played alto saxophone, bassoon, clarinet and several other instruments. Trumbauer -- born of part Cherokee ancestry, he grew up in St. Louis, Missouri as son of a musical mother who directed saxophone and theater orchestras.

Lead Belly - Rock Island Line

Lead Belly - Rock Island Line Video Clips. Duration : 2.28 Mins.

Huddie William Ledbetter (January 20, 1888 -- December 6, 1949) was an iconic American folk, blues musician, and multi-instrumentalist, notable for his strong vocals, his virtuosity on the twelve-string guitar, and the songbook of folk standards he introduced. He is best known as Lead Belly. Though many releases list him as "Leadbelly", he himself spelled it "Lead Belly". This is also the usage on his tombstone,[1][2] as well as of the Lead Belly Foundation.[3] In 1994 the Lead Belly Foundation contacted an authority on the history of popular music, Colin Larkin, editor of the Encyclopedia of Popular Music, to ask if the name "Leadbelly" could be altered to "Lead Belly" in the hope that other authors would follow suit and use the artist's correct appellation. Although Lead Belly most commonly played the twelve-string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, and accordion.[4] In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar. In other recordings he just sings while clapping his hands or stomping his foot. The topics of Lead Belly's music covered a wide range of subjects, including gospel songs; blues songs about women, liquor and racism; and folk songs about cowboys, prison, work, sailors, cattle herding, and dancing. He also wrote songs concerning the newsmakers of the day, such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Jean Harlow, the Scottsboro Boys, and Howard ...

Remembering Scottsboro: The Legacy of an Infamous Trial

Remembering Scottsboro: The Legacy of an Infamous Trial Review

Remembering Scottsboro: The Legacy of an Infamous Trial Overview

In 1931, nine black youths were charged with raping two white women in Scottsboro, Alabama. Despite meager and contradictory evidence, all nine were found guilty and eight of the defendants were sentenced to death--making Scottsboro one of the worst travesties of justice to take place in the post-Reconstruction South. Remembering Scottsboro explores how this case has embedded itself into the fabric of American memory and become a lens for perceptions of race, class, sexual politics, and justice. James Miller draws upon the archives of the Communist International and NAACP, contemporary journalistic accounts, as well as poetry, drama, fiction, and film, to document the impact of Scottsboro on American culture.

The book reveals how the Communist Party, NAACP, and media shaped early images of Scottsboro; looks at how the case influenced authors including Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and Harper Lee; shows how politicians and Hollywood filmmakers invoked the case in the ensuing decades; and examines the defiant, sensitive, and savvy correspondence of Haywood Patterson--one of the accused, who fled the Alabama justice system. Miller considers how Scottsboro persists as a point of reference in contemporary American life and suggests that the Civil Rights movement begins much earlier than the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955.

Remembering Scottsboro demonstrates how one compelling, provocative, and tragic case still haunts the American racial imagination.

Stories of Scottsboro

Stories of Scottsboro Review

Stories of Scottsboro Overview

"A rich and compelling narrative, as taut and suspenseful as good fiction. In places, Stories of Scottsboro is almost heartbreaking, not least because Goodman shows what people felt as well as what they thought." -- Washington Post Book World

To white Southerners, it was "a heinous and unspeakable crime" that flouted a taboo as old as slavery. To the Communist Party, which mounted the defense, the Scottsboro case was an ideal opportunity to unite issues of race and class. To jury after jury, the idea that nine black men had raped two white women on a train traveling through northern Alabama in 1931 was so self-evident that they found the Scottsboro boys guilty even after the U.S. Supreme Court had twice struck down the verdict and one of the "victims" had recanted.

This innovative and grippingly narrated work of history tells the story of a case that marked a watershed in American racial justice. Or, rather, it tells several stories. For out of dozens of period sources, Stories of Scottsboro re-creates not only what happened at Scottsboro, but the dissonant chords it struck in the hearts and minds of an entire nation.

"Extraordinary.... To do justice to the Scottsboro story a book would have to combine edge-of-the-seat reportage and epic narrative sweep. And it is just such a book that James Goodman has given us, a beautifully realized history...written with complete authority, tight emotional control, and brilliant use of archival material." -- Chicago Tribune

Our Southern Home: Scottsboro to Montgomery to Birmingham--The Transformation of the South in the Twentieth Century

Our Southern Home: Scottsboro to Montgomery to Birmingham--The Transformation of the South in the Twentieth Century

==================================================================

Three eighteen-year-old southerners start the day of March 25, 1931, not knowing that the events soon to occur in Scottsboro, Alabama will lead them and the South on an inexorable journey of change: Clarence Norris, black, is boarding a freight train as a hobo in Chattanooga; Waights Taylor, white, is a student at the University of Alabama; Rosa McCauley Parks, black, is a resident of Pine Level, Alabama. The three become involved in the Scottsboro events in different ways with profound implications to the region and their lives. Three cities—Scottsboro, Montgomery, and Birmingham—are the critical points for the events about to unfold: Clarence Norris becomes one of the Scottsboro Boys; Waights Taylor is from an upper middle class Birmingham family; Rosa Parks will spark the start of the civil rights movement in Montgomery. Each city bears the scars of its segregated past leading to the second emancipation of African Americans from the yokes of slavery and segregation. Our Southern Home—Scottsboro to Montgomery to Birmingham: The Transformation of the South in the Twentieth Century is a narrative history and is based on four broad themes: (1) The inevitability of change for better or worse; (2) The Scottsboro period in the 1930s represents the nadir in Alabama's segregated history; (3) The importance the accident of birth places on most individuals, and the resulting extreme disparities between being born white or black in the South; (4) Southerners, black and white alike, are inexplicably connected, both figuratively and literally, in ways the region has yet to fully recognize and accept. The life stories of Clarence Norris, Waights Taylor, and Rosa Parks are the book's consistent thread through the twentieth century, the tragedy of the Scottsboro Boys and their trials, and other important civil rights moments in Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham. ...Read more

The Crucible, To Kill a Mockingbird, and the Prejudices of the American Judicial Branch

The American judicial system comes with built-in safeguards against wrongful prosecution: suspects are innocent until proven guilty; everyone is entitled to due process; juries cannot prosecute if they have reasonable doubt; double jeopardy prevents anyone from being re-tried for the same crime once acquitted.

Of course, everyone knows that idealism don't always translate so well from theory into reality. US courts have a horrific history of injustice - a fact which is reflected in many of our most famous works of literature. Just think Arthur Miller's 1953 play, "The Crucible." Set in Puritan New England in the 1690's, the story revisits the Salem witch hunts that rocked the cradle of American civilization.

Scottsboro

Through the power of the local courts, a handful of scared young girls accuse dozens of their fellow townspeople of witchcraft. Most confess to spare their own lives, but those that stand strong are executed for their supposed dealings with the devil. Although colonial New England obviously pre-dates the American judicial branch, the historical shout-out is actually a thinly veiled allegory about McCarthyism in twentieth-century America.

The Crucible, To Kill a Mockingbird, and the Prejudices of the American Judicial Branch

Of particular relevance to The Crucible was the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA), which investigated, tried, and blacklisted hundreds of alleged communists during the 1940's and 50's. The wave of accusations and convictions destroyed the careers and personal lives of many prominent Americans. In fact, just a few years after the play was first produced, Miller himself was tried by the HCUA, fined 0, sentenced to thirty days in prison, and blacklisted. Fortunately for Miller and his then-wife, Marilyn Monroe, the conviction was overturned the following year.

In 1960, one-time author Harper Lee published what is now the most famous American novel about the legal justice system: To Kill a Mockingbird. In it, an African-American man named Tom Robinson receives the death sentence for raping a white woman despite an abundance of evidence demonstrating his innocence. Although the plot isn't modeled after one event in particular, it all-too clearly resembles countless real stories like that of the Scottsboro Boys, nine black defendants who were convicted of raping two white women in 1931 on very shaky evidence.

To Kill a Mockingbird explicitly addresses the weaknesses of the American court system, particularly in speeches given by Robinson's attorney, Atticus Finch. "A court is only as sound as its jury," he says, "and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up." And it's true: despite all the constitutional guarantees and legal safeguards, court rulings don't often transcend the prejudices of their time.

Given the reality of the situation, you might say it's hard to have faith in such a system - especially considering that it's designed to have faith in itself; after all, the reason legal precedents are very hard to circumvent is because we want to believe that our predecessors knew what they were doing. It's the same logic that guides the constitutional ban on double jeopardy: to question the final ruling of the court by re-charging someone with the same crime would effectively challenge the integrity of the system itself.

So when, for example, someone confesses to a crime with no consequences after being "proven" innocent (remember O. J. Simpson's tell-all book, If I Did It?), all that talk about protecting the court's integrity suddenly seems very cheap. Is it worth insisting that the American legal system is working if it means turning a blind eye to obvious lapses in justice? And if not, what kind of system could we even replace it with?
