[...] Then, well after the deadlines for the six o’clock and even the nine and ten o’clock newscasts, it was announced that Koch’s nominal underling, Michael Brodkorb — Tony Sutton’s right-hand man and a guy who until October of this year had been the Deputy Chair of the Minnesota Republican Party and its communications boss — had resigned his job at the state Senate. (See also Tild’s lovely graphic above, which may also be found here.) [...]

Aldon Morris writes the history of the Civil Rights Movement as the gradual organization of black communities in the South in response to Jim Crow. Morris’ account begins with early protests in North Carolina, Tennessee and other peripheral states that multiplied and culminated in the more well-known actions in Alabama and Georiga. Throughout the account, Morris emphasizes the indigenous nature of the movement – black communities organizing around black institutions (the black church) with their own financial and infrastructural resources.

The research for the project was conducted via interviews with many of the movement’s leaders, so Morris is able to give first-hand accounts of the way protests were conducted and of the motivations for organizing in certain ways at certain times. His account is extraordinarily rich and touches on the interplay between the often conflicting personalities of movement leaders. He describes the means and motivation of the adoption of the non-violent protest method and, to a lesser extent, the roles played by women in the movement. He also deals in passing with the ideological treatment of homosexuality by movement leaders.

As an account of how the civil rights movement developed in the South, Morris’ book is exceptional. It reads as well as a novel and uses the input of first-hand sources to make its story as much personal as academic, without losing its integrity.

Some have argued that Morris neglects the role of women in the movement and this might be a fair criticism. But inasmuch as he argues that the civil rights movement was organized around and by the leaders of the black church, he justifies his focus on the (male) Baptist minister as a principle leader of movement activities. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand how the Civil Rights Movement was carried out in the United States.

Thanks for stopping by, anonymous commenter. You sound bitter. Do you have a job? If you do, is that job paying you a living wage? If not, maybe you ought to join a union. Unions built the middle class. Unions built America.

Face it, friend: Right now in the eyes of corporate robber barons you’re nothing but a useful idiot. Why are you defending them? You deserve better. Think about it. #UNION #SOLIDARITY

Comment on Who Is Ayaan Hirsi Ali? by K. Johnson

Touche Polly Keary and Sam Packard! and everyone else who defends this woman! Good grief that anyone who hasn’t lived in her shoes, who has grown up in Western civilization would even DARE call her anyone’s “darling” (or “puppet” as the title implies). I tried to make a list of all the negative adjectives used to demean this fine woman, and the list became so great I gave it up. Suffice it to say, that any of us who grew up within a standard nuclear home with three square meals a day, a bedtime story before bed, a structured school system, candy, pop, toys, loving relatives…and most importantly…our GENITALS INTACT…cannot ever, ever, say that this woman is “this or that,” or “that or this,” or anything at all, b/c we have not the education, the experience nor the quality of learning necessary in our minds for us to even make a single comment about this woman. She is above our thoughts and comments. She is above my thoughts and comments, b/c I have not, and have been too blessed in life to have experienced, life as she has. She can say what she likes about her injustices; only the arrogant would dare scorn her. I have read her book, and I am certain of one thing: Ayaan Hirsi Magan – Ali is NO ONE’s darling puppet, and what she believes, and what she says, she says with her whole being and with her whole self.
