Here we are at the end of the semester and it strikes me as a Good Opportunity maybe to compare the reconstruction period that we started off talking about in this course with what some have called the second reconstruction, which is the time of the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. Let me tell you, first, what i mean by the first reconstruction and the second reconstruction. By the first, i mean in not only postcivil war reconstruction, im including also the civil war itself and all that took place during the war up through the end of radical reconstruction. The second reconstruction will be simply enough, the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. I wont carry my remarks any farther than that, i think. Now, in talking about the two reconstructions, im going to have to use some broad generalizations of a type im not entirely comfortable with, for example ill talk occasionally about the white south or the north or Something Like that and that covers up all kinds of complexit
Solve yes union that was the lifeline for some of these governments, so there was a lot to Pay Attention to, and the president was predisposed to want to pay a lot of attention to it, but he had to exercise great discipline and set priority. Because a jim bakker couldnt be preoccupied with some of these distractions that were not distractions for the people who were hungry, and he would have to send people over to help and make things happen. But there was an awful lot going on. President bush, because he had been as, probably the best trained president ever, he would bring with him, gosh, i would have been paying a lot of attention to this, i want to know about it, i want to get involved, i should know whats going on. And he did want to know whats going on, and he was restrained and saying somebody has to Pay Attention to this and if it gets to a level, ring my bell. 9. And the story which one hears about the srnjpre[y;ekurj ultim decisionmaking is aep verqkf private one about somalia
Us. This clearly could not. This is challenging all those notions of class politics, redistribution. Rose. I was going to say its just like this movement challenging so many aspects of the government, people could misconstrue especially if they didnt understand it, they could be easily swayed by the media giving wrong information and not the full picture. They did focus a lot on problems. It was like a big group not a group but like a handful of problems they were all striving for. It was a lot of challenge to the government and they saw that as a threat. Polls showed majority opposed the movement. As king said easier to integrate lunch counters that eradicate slums. It didnt cost anything to integrate lurch counters. Now were talking about something that will cost billions and billions of dollars, redistribution of economic power. We dont have time to look at torey and hamilton and black power perspective but i want to point you to, again, their notion of the ghetto as a colony. In th
Good afternoon and welcome once again to alumni weekend. Each year, the Yale Law School Association Provides an award to an outstanding graduate. It is our way of recognizing extraordinary alumni that have made contributions to the legal profession. We are a tiny school but we have exercised an outsized influence on the development of american law and public life. Our award of merit has gone two president s like gerald ford and bill clinton. It has gone to senators like Jack Danforth, arlen specter, joseph lieberman, and paul tsongas. It has gone to cabinet officials like hillary clinton, edward leavy, robert rubin. Governors like scranton, mayors like john lindsay, and outstanding state judges. Today we continue that tradition by honoring three alumni who, without any question, have contributed immensely to the substance of american law. Today we honor three justices of the United States Supreme Court. The tale of each of these justices is a quintessentially american story, a story of
