Stumbling Around the Bases
Imagine a business composed of franchisees operating independently in designated protected territories, with a “president” serving at their sufferance.

Their promotional efforts largely consist of opening the doors of their establishments and expecting customer…
Ronald W. Walters and the Fight for Black Power, 1969-2010
This volume builds the story of black power in the United States from the mid-1960s through the administration of Barack Obama on the life and career of one of its leading academic advocates. Ronald W. Walters, a pioneer in black studies at Brandeis University, Howard University, and the University of Maryland, deliberately broke the mold of scholarly detachment. As Robert C. Smith, Walters's student, colleague, and friend observes, “he knew who …
The Strike That Changed New York
On May 9, 1968, junior high school teacher Fred Nauman received a letter that would change the history of New York City. It informed him that he had been fired from his job.

GLEN ANTHONY Harris. The Ocean Hill-Brownsville Conflict
On May 9, 1968, a local school board in the predominantly African American Ocean Hill–Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, sent termination letters to a group of white, unionized public school teachers. The letters ignited a series of racially incendiary events that would reverberate through the city's history, affecting mayoral elections, fiscal policies, residential patterns, and policing measures well into the twenty-first century. The c…
