Lawson during a meeting of the Delegate Assembly of the Alabama State Teachers Association at Alabama State College on March 2, 1968.

And, of course, you know that we have discrimination in the State Department of Education, also.

Johnson on July 9: \"I have expressed my concern many times about the efforts of plaintiffs and cases which are pending in courts in Alabama . . . both the federal courts and uh and the three judge panel, about following the Supreme Court decision and what we know as the Kent County case, in doing away with freedom of choice and requiring something in lieu of it, such as mandatory attendance zones. I think our opinion to as stated to you at a press conference a month ago was in line with the testimony according to the news reports taken in judge Johnson's Court yesterday, to the effect that mandatory attendance zones would destroy the public school system in Alabama because the people are simply not going to participate, have their children attend school under these conditions.\" 0:20:34: Senator Tom Radney speaking in July 1968 about the Alabama Legislative Council's upcoming study of Alabama Public Service Commission. 0:22:05: Dr. Levi Watkins, president of Alabama State College, discussing enrollment at the school during a committee meeting or hearing in July 1968. (The nature of the meeting is unclear, but it could be related to either the college's efforts to block the construction of the Auburn University branch in Montgomery, or Watkins's role on the Alabama Education Study Commission's Task Force I.) 0:23:11: Governor A. Brewer speaking about state budget surpluses during his weekly press conference on October 2, 1968, just after the start of the new fiscal year. 0:26:19: Governor A.

They discuss federal loans that SWAFCA had received from the Office of Economic Opportunity and the Farmers Home Administration, as well as an investigation of the organization that Reynolds had requested from the General Accounting Office. 0:34:12: Report by WSFA-TV's Bob Inman about the Democratic primary in Selma on March 5, 1968. Included are interviews with Mayor Joe Smitherman, who defeated Reverend L. L. Anderson and another candidate to secure the nomination (ultimately winning reelection in the August general election); Marius J. \"Ace\" Anderson, a local disc jockey (formerly of WRMA in Montgomery) and city council candidate headed to a run-off election on April 2; and Luther Pepper, Anderson's white opponent for city council (who ultimately won). Inman's questions and report focus on the significance of race in the election: \"There is one thing that yesterday's voting in Selma did show, and that's the fact that whites are still voting for whites, and Negroes, for the most part, are still voting for Negroes. Negro candidates in Selma and elsewhere in the South are going to continue to have a hard time getting elected where negro voters are in the minority, but the signs of change are there. The hard lines of block voting are beginning to dim and possibly in the not too distant future, Negro voters will decide that for the time being at least block voting is not the answer to their problems.\" 0:38:51: Interview by WSFA-TV's Bob Inman with city council candidate Marius J. \"Ace\" Anderson after the Selma Democratic primary on March 5, 1968. They discuss the Dallas County Voters League's support of incumbent mayor Joe Smitherman over of Reverend L. L.

Johnson on July 9: \"I have expressed my concern many times about the efforts of plaintiffs and cases which are pending in courts in Alabama . . . both the federal courts and uh and the three judge panel, about following the Supreme Court decision and what we know as the Kent County case, in doing away with freedom of choice and requiring something in lieu of it, such as mandatory attendance zones. I think our opinion to as stated to you at a press conference a month ago was in line with the testimony according to the news reports taken in judge Johnson's Court yesterday, to the effect that mandatory attendance zones would destroy the public school system in Alabama because the people are simply not going to participate, have their children attend school under these conditions.\" 0:20:34: Senator Tom Radney speaking in July 1968 about the Alabama Legislative Council's upcoming study of Alabama Public Service Commission. 0:22:05: Dr. Levi Watkins, president of Alabama State College, discussing enrollment at the school during a committee meeting or hearing in July 1968. (The nature of the meeting is unclear, but it could be related to either the college's efforts to block the construction of the Auburn University branch in Montgomery, or Watkins's role on the Alabama Education Study Commission's Task Force I.) 0:23:11: Governor A. Brewer speaking about state budget surpluses during his weekly press conference on October 2, 1968, just after the start of the new fiscal year. 0:26:19: Governor A. Brewer announcing state employee pay raises during a press conference on October 3, 1968. Also present is Frank Cox, president of the Alabama State Employees Association. 0:28:13: Dr. Frank Rose, president of the University of Alabama, speaking at a press conference on May 10, 1968. He discusses a major fundraising initiative to expand the facilities and programs at the school's campuses in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and Huntsville. 0:29:51: Interview with Bob Vance, chairman of the state Democratic party in May 1968. He discusses low voter turnout for the Democratic primaries on May 7, as well as candidates who will head to run-offs in the major races. 0:32:41: Interviews with Bernard Reynolds and an unidentified representative of the Southwest Alabama Farmers Cooperative in Selma in March 1968. They discuss federal loans that SWAFCA had received from the Office of Economic Opportunity and the Farmers Home Administration, as well as an investigation of the organization that Reynolds had requested from the General Accounting Office. 0:34:12: Report by WSFA-TV's Bob Inman about the Democratic primary in Selma on March 5, 1968. Included are interviews with Mayor Joe Smitherman, who defeated Reverend L. L. Anderson and another candidate to secure the nomination (ultimately winning reelection in the August general election); Marius J. \"Ace\" Anderson, a local disc jockey (formerly of WRMA in Montgomery) and city council candidate headed to a run-off election on April 2; and Luther Pepper, Anderson's white opponent for city council (who ultimately won). Inman's questions and report focus on the significance of race in the election: \"There is one thing that yesterday's voting in Selma did show, and that's the fact that whites are still voting for whites, and Negroes, for the most part, are still voting for Negroes. Negro candidates in Selma and elsewhere in the South are going to continue to have a hard time getting elected where negro voters are in the minority, but the signs of change are there. The hard lines of block voting are beginning to dim and possibly in the not too distant future, Negro voters will decide that for the time being at least block voting is not the answer to their problems.\" 0:38:51: Interview by WSFA-TV's Bob Inman with city council candidate Marius J. \"Ace\" Anderson after the Selma Democratic primary on March 5, 1968. They discuss the Dallas County Voters League's support of incumbent mayor Joe Smitherman over of Reverend L. L. Anderson, a local civil rights leader whom Martin Luther King Jr. endorsed.\n   \n\n  \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   "},{"id":"auu_auc-050_auc-076-1388","title":"\"Rustin Politicks for LBJ\", December 25, 1967","collection_id":"auu_auc-050","collection_title":"Neighborhood Union Collection","dcterms_contributor":null,"dcterms_spatial":["United States, 39.76, -98.5","United States, Mississippi, Hinds County, Jackson, 32.29876, -90.18481"],"dcterms_creator":null,"dc_date":["1967-12-25"],"dcterms_description":["A newspaper clipping with an article describing Bayard Rustin's campaigning for the re-election of President Lyndon B.
