Black creative genius matters
The Jazz and People’s Movement, led by multi-instrumentalist and Atlantic Records recording star Rahsaan Roland Kirk, began disrupting network television talk shows in 1970. The movement aimed to stop the erasure of “black creative genius” not only from the nation’s television airwaves, but from its collective history and memory – to make that which was practically invisible visible once again. But Rahsaan Roland Kirk and the Jazz and People’s Mo…

There is no single lie in war (films)
Most everything one needs to know about Ken Burns’s and Lynn Novick’s epic interpretation of the Vietnam War is evident in their summary of the conflict in the film’s eighteenth and final hour. “Th
David L. Parsons. Dangerous Grounds
In Dangerous Grounds, David L. Parsons recovers the history of a network of stateside coffeehouses established by civilians as a deliberate effort to support disaffected GIs, thereby challenging the widely held belief that Americans did not sufficiently back their troops in Vietnam. Parsons focuses on three of the nation’s most influential GI coffeehouses: the UFO outside Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina; the Oleo Strut, outside Fort Hood…
Everyone was Pounding on Us
This essay analyzes agricultural politics and activism in the United States during the farm crisis of the 1970s and 1980s. Although journalists and social scientists studied farm activism at the time, historians have neglected it. As this article demonstrates, however, the farm crisis is valuable for analyzing why ordinary Americans mobilized as citizens and activists in a period of economic dislocation. Informed by the recent "emotional turn" in…
A Politics of Empathy
In the years since Johnny Cash's death in 2003, popular and scholarly writing has persisted in framing Cash's politics as contradictory—thus seeming to support Kris Kristofferson's line, often assumed to be about Cash: a “walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction.” This essay argues that, although Cash may have seemed conflicted in the late 1960s and early 1970s, his political views on Native Americans, prison reform, and the Vietnam…

Confronting the War Machine
This dissertation recovers the history of the draft resistance movement in Boston during the Vietnam War. It is a blend of social, political, and cultural history that seeks not merely to assert the importance of draft resistance to our understanding of the antiwar movement and the Vietnam War era, but also to capture the experience of draft resisters and their supporters. It is an actor-oriented history. The sources used include the personal pri…
Confronting the Johnson Administration at War
The Johnson administration's 1968 decision to indict Dr. Benjamin Spock and four others for conspiracy to aid and abet draft resisters thrilled the antiwar movement because it demonstrated that the government could no longer ignore the growing number of Americans opposed to the Vietnam War. In the months leading up to the trial, expectations ran high as the antiwar movement looked forward to a courtroom confrontation in which they hoped to see th…
