Download or read book Selma to Saigon written by Daniel S. Lucks and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The civil rights and anti--Vietnam War movements were the two greatest protests of twentieth-century America. The dramatic escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam in 1965 took precedence over civil rights legislation, which had dominated White House and congressional attention during the first half of the decade. The two issues became intertwined on January 6, 1966, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) became the first civil rights organization to formally oppose the war, protesting the injustice of drafting African Americans to fight for the freedom of the South Vietnamese people when they were still denied basic freedoms at home. Selma to Saigon explores the impact of the Vietnam War on the national civil rights movement. Before the war gained widespread attention, the New Left, the SNCC, and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) worked together to create a biracial alliance with the potential to make significant political and social gains in Washington. Contention over the war, however, exacerbated preexisting generational and ideological tensions that undermined the coalition, and Lucks analyzes the causes and consequences of this disintegration. This powerful narrative illuminates the effects of the Vietnam War on the lives of leaders such as Whitney Young Jr., Stokely Carmichael, Roy Wilkins, Bayard Rustin, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as other activists who faced the threat of the military draft along with race-related discrimination and violence. Providing new insights into the evolution of the civil rights movement, this book fills a significant gap in the literature about one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.

Download or read book Peace and Freedom written by Simon Hall and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two great social causes held center stage in American politics in the 1960s: the civil rights movement and the antiwar groundswell in the face of a deepening American military commitment in Vietnam. In Peace and Freedom, Simon Hall explores two linked themes: the civil rights movement's response to the war in Vietnam on the one hand and, on the other, the relationship between the black groups that opposed the war and the mainstream peace movement. Based on comprehensive archival research, the book weaves together local and national stories to offer an illuminating and judicious chronicle of these movements, demonstrating how their increasingly radicalized components both found common cause and provoked mutual antipathies. Peace and Freedom shows how and why the civil rights movement responded to the war in differing ways—explaining black militants' hostility toward the war while also providing a sympathetic treatment of those organizations and leaders reluctant to take a stand. And, while Black Power, counterculturalism, and left-wing factionalism all made interracial coalition-building more difficult, the book argues that it was the peace movement's reluctance to link the struggle to end the war with the fight against racism at home that ultimately prevented the two movements from cooperating more fully. Considering the historical relationship between the civil rights movement and foreign policy, Hall also offers an in-depth look at the history of black America's links with the American left and with pacifism. With its keen insights into one of the most controversial decades in American history, Peace and Freedom recaptures the immediacy and importance of the time.

Download or read book The Lake Effect written by Terry and Bill Monnie and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry and Bill Monnie share a common birthplace, but they have separate stories to tell. While journeying separate ways, they never truly grew apart, even in the midst of the adversity that life presents each during a period of major cultural change and unrest in the United States and the world. Their stories reflect the core values of the Monnie/Diehl family and the lake that spawned them; core values that are immutable and which these two brothers have honored throughout their lives. Terry takes the traditional route of consistently honoring the core values of the Monnie/Diehl family and the Lake: college and serving honorably in the Viet Nam Conflict. Bill, however, take a different route, which family and many others from Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, consider divergent from core values: immersion into the leftist politics of the 1960's and the Civil Rights Movement. How does this story end? Truly it is determined by The Lake Effect. "The Lake Effect is a riveting glimpse of Americana through the eyes of two brothers, Terry and Bill Monnie. As their relationship develops, you experience first-hand how disparate aspects of 20th Century life build an emerging nation - and more importantly, a family dynamic. Their path isn't always neat and concise, but in the end, isn't that what family is all about?" -Dean Congbalay, Vice President, Development, Comey and Shepherd, Realtors Cincinnati, Ohio "Traveling with Bill and Terry on their journey from growing up in a small town in rural Pennsylvania to adulthood is both nostalgic and thought provoking. Their adventures and misadventures evoke long forgotten memories of struggles for self identity and casts light on the turbulent times of the sixties. With Bill, there is no timid testing the waters with one toe. He jumps into the Civil Rights Movement head first, waving his convictions and emotions like a banner. Terry takes life as it comes, meeting each new challenge as it arises, anticipating with relish the next great surprise that lies in store for him. Terry and Bill face real life threats with courage and conviction while experiencing the hatred, bigotry, and violence of two very different wars. Whether traveling with Bill in his old '54 Ford to the Deep South to register voters, driving with his friends to the 1965 Selma, Alabama March, trekking with Terry through Germany, exploring cultures outside small-town USA, or riding with him on the bus to experience the horrors of the Vietnam "War" after his plane landed in Saigon, it is one fascinating adventure. What Bill and Terry discover and share with us, is that in the end, what really matters in life is love - love of family, friends, and country - love of all humankind. Ultimately, we are all on the same bus." -Jan Williams, Conneaut Lake Area High School-Class of 1961

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the late 1960s, the slow pace of progress brought about by the civil rights movement caused growing dissatisfaction for some. The assassinations of civil rights leaders during this time convinced many activists that white supremacy could not be countered with silence. The Black Power movement arose to address these concerns by holding a philosophy that black Americans could obtain basic human needs through self-reliance and self-determination. Readers will learn about the movement's ideals, the methods used to achieve them, and the people who led the campaign for improved social conditions for all African Americans.
