  • Justice Rising: Robert Kennedy's America in Black and White

    Open AccessMichael K Honey, Michael HoneyARTICLEJournal of American History2022

    In 1963 the playwright Lorraine Hansberry commented that, among elected officials, at least, Robert F. Kennedy was “the best a white America has to offer.” She did not necessarily mean that as a compliment. Many associated Kennedy with his work as an attorney helping the red-baiting inquisitorial committee of U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s, and Kennedy's later role in cracking down on union corruption. In 1968, when he ran for presiden…

    Open AccessMichael K Honey, Michael HoneyARTICLEThe Oral History Review2014Cited by: 1

    Drawing on Pete Seeger’s song archive and an extensive oral history the author conducted with John Handcox of the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union, this article draws attention to the power of songs and oral poetry as forms of oral history that provide “a way in” to our “emotional history” and that help us to better understand labor and civil rights struggles in the American South. Using examples from the life story of Handcox, the author asks: how…
