The Roles of Black Folk? W. E. B. Du Bois’s Peace Advocacy and Its Legacy
This essay highlights W. E. B. Du Bois’s peace advocacy, encouraging readers to consider “the roles of Black folk” in affecting U.S. foreign policy. It contextualizes the U.S. Department of Justice’s 1951 indictment of Du Bois, the occasion for his writing In Battle for Peace. The essay’s chief concern is the effects, both short and long term, of the anticommunist attacks on Du Bois and his contemporaries. Du Bois’s peace advocacy drew harsh atta…
Teaching the Vietnam Antiwar Movement: Confronting Myths and Misconceptions
College students continue to flock to courses on the 1960s because of the mystique around the protests of that era, which has been amplified by current movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo. We are finally past the time when students' primary source of information about sixties movements was Forrest Gump(1994). Teachers make thoughtful use of primary sources, pay increasing attention to the experience of ordinary people, and introduce c…
Executing the Rosenbergs: Death and Diplomacy in a Cold War World
Debate about the politics and morality of the execution of Julius Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953 never ceased, though it has changed over the years. Lori Clune's premises are widely shared: the Rosenbergs' trial was not fair; Julius Rosenberg was part of a spy ring that gave information to the Soviet Union (though not “the secret” of the atomic bomb); and the executions were not justified. Despite the popular belief that the Rosenbergs wer…

Vincent J. Intondi. African Americans against the Bomb: Nuclear Weapons, Colonialism, and the Black Freedom Movement
This book is perhaps best read in conjunction with Jacqueline Foertsch’s Reckoning Day: Race, Place, and the Atom Bomb in Postwar America (2013). Vincent J. Intondi’s historical perspective complements Foertsch’s literary stance; both review the ways in which African Americans spoke out against nuclear weapons and link this reaction to the black freedom struggle at home and abroad. Crossing disciplinary lines highlights further the “links in the …

Measure Them Right: Lorraine Hansberry and the Struggle for Peace
Lorraine Hansberry's concerns about peace issues have been largely neglected in previous scholarship. Absorbing the views of the Communist left of the post-World War II era, particularly those of Paul Robeson and W. E. B. Du Bois, and coupling these with her personal abhorrence of war and violence, she expressed a commitment to peace that was evident from the Progressive Party campaign of 1948 until her untimely death in 1965. Her focus on opposi…

We Closed Down the Damn School”: The Party Culture and Student Protest at Southern Illinois University During the Vietnam War Era
In May 1970, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC), was one of hundreds of college campuses that shut down for the rest of the term in the wake of violence that followed the killing of four students by the National Guard at Kent State University. This article analyzes the makeup of the student movement at SIUC, arguing that it was composed of three strains: student rights, New Left, and what we call the “party culture.” Local issues s…

Does That Make Peace a Bad Word?”: American Responses to the Communist Peace Offensive, 1949–1950
E. P. Thompson has written about how the causes of “peace” and “freedom” seemed to break apart after World War II. The Soviet Union promoted peace, and the United States promoted freedom. Thompson argues persuasively that both claims contained a grain of truth along with a fair amount of hypocrisy. The peace offensive launched by the Soviet Union in the late 1940s met with positive responses from people all over the world who yearned for peace. I…
