Baseball and rhethe rethinking the Civil Rights Movement. Let me start out with a confession to you. As long as ive been teaching the Civil Rights Movement, it didnt make sense to me. V a im a baby boomer. I was born at the end of world war ii. I came of age if the 1950s and 1960s, so why does a historian present something current . My mind changed in 2001. Let me tell you what happened in 2001. I had the great privilege to serve as moderator for a session on pastime, baseball is history at the organization for american historians. And the session was focusing on judec tyjeels new book. We had a great panel with stanley cutler, james marin from Princeton University and jewels augusty from San Francisco state, and then our surprise anchorperson, sharon robbins, head and founder of jackies 9 and the daughter of Jackie Robinson.

It is just under two hours. Fory name is mark nelson, lack of a better term, the moderator of todays proceedings. Im a historian, and i have long had an interest in the strike of 1934.

[applause] thank you all for coming. I have to say first i am honored that mark asked me to be part of this world trends from ann arbor where we went to college and we are both editors at the college newspaper. I knew then that mark was from the area like i am, but i didnt know his passion to write history and the stories here can that leads to my first question which is what led you to want to write this book . Remember you calling me when you were starting to work on it and said i want to write a book about detroit and so do i. But this turned out to be a very different book than most of the others. I said that a little tiny bit when i went out to lunch the first time and you were one of the first people, thank you first of all for doing this but i guess i have always been drawn to detroit. I thought for the longest time that it would turn out to be a novel, that seemed like the way to go. When i came back in 2009 for Rolling Stone i decided to do a piece on the auto show. This was j
We see Going Forward that theres not going to be much change at all, you know, at least for us as a service.

If the marine corps remains focused primarily on the pacific, but i think at present most people would conceive of most crises not initiating in the pacific.
