Tufts Journal: People: Gerald Gill vigorous and vibrant protest activities in the 1930s and early 1940s, Gill writes He is working on an informal oral history of African american students at http://tuftsjournal.tufts.edu/archive/2001/november/people/gill.shtml
Extractions: by Helene Ragovin Gerald Gill has been teaching at Tufts since 1980. Every so often, he finds himself answering the same question from friends in other parts of the country: "How can you still continue to teach at a Boston-area college?" "They contend Boston is the most racist city in the United States. I contend Boston is not the most racist city in the United States," says Gill, a scholar of African American history. While the city is certainly not without its racial problemsÑeither now or in the pastÑthe complex relationship between Boston and its black citizens is not adequately characterized by that one statement, he says. That lingering perception, however, prompted Gill to begin research on Struggling Yet in Freedom's Birthplace , a book he is writing about race relations in Boston from the mid-1930s to the mid-1970s. "The book looks at how one of the most progressive cities in the United States in terms of race relations toward the end of the 1800s and first several decades of the 20th century became Ôthe most racist city in the United States' by the '70s and the decades after," said Gill, associate professor of history.

Extractions: By Margaux Wexberg You have two days left to put your 33 cents in. As February comes to an end, so does balloting to determine which people, events, and trends will be honored by the U.S. Postal Service's Celebrate the Century in its 1980s series of commemorative stamps. Celebrate the Century is the Postal Service's attempt to weave the fabric of our nation's history and character into very small rectangles, with sticky stuff on the back. However, the USPS should not propose that they have achieved any notable historical or cultural feat. Celebrate the Century is not the "virtual field trip through the 20th century" that Postal Service press releases claim. It is, at best, a somewhat entertaining and mildly informative exercise in self-aggrandizing publicity and political correctness. Since the so-called "stamp and education" program began last February, sets of 15 images commemorating the 1900s, '10s, '20s, and '30s have made their way to a post office near you. The latest set, released Thurs., Feb. 18th, celebrates the 1940s with another five minute stop to see the sights before we pile back on the bus and head on to the '50s. According to Einar V. Dyhrkopp, chairman of the Postal Service Board of Governors, "The '40s were a decade which began with a World War and ended in victory and the beginning of prosperity." The series of stamps attempts to capture this ridiculously broad and abstract definition with titles such as "Abstract Expressionism," "Postwar Baby Boom," "Antibiotics Save Lives," "TV Entertains America," "Women Support War Effort," and "Slinky Craze Begins." It would seem that, in the eyes of the USPS, war plus babies plus TV equals 10 years' worth of American history. Oh, and throw a Slinky in there somewhere.
Extractions: Stan Fisher , Register Correspondent Jim Inglese stands next to a Stamped Steel 1932 Flord 3 Window Coupe Replica in his Branford showroom. Aaron Flaum/Register BRANFORD If the game of baseball were a car, itd be a hot rod. If apple pie somehow transmogrified itself into an automobile, itd be a hot rod, too. Jazz is a hot rod free-spirited, exhaust pipes blaring the thunderous music of an eight-cylinder engine. The hot rod is, after all, as much an icon of the American way of life, and a totem of a particularly cherished era in American history, as any of its more mainstream counterparts. Born under shade trees and in California garages in the 1940s, the hot rod endures in the American psyche as a metaphor for freedom and pioneering invention, a rebel with a cause of adventure and speed, a brash and inordinately sexy art form.

Extractions: The Courier-Journal [an error occurred while processing this directive] KET pages through a video album of life in Louisville during the 1940s, '50s and '60s tonight. "Louisville: 30 Years of Change," at 8 p.m. on KET and KET2, is a 21/2-hour stroll down memory lane. It should be a real treat for Louisville natives and an instructive journey for those who have moved to the city and don't know much about its history. The program can even lay claim to a first with the debut of a piece of film shot by the city police 45 years ago of Elvis Presley's swiveling hips. Officials wanted it for an obscenity trial that never materialized. On a more significant scale, the film, which is part of KET's annual TeleFund effort, traces the trends and developments that have shaped the metropolitan area for better, and sometimes for worse. We see downtown Louisville in its heyday in the 1940s when Fourth Street looked like a mini-Great White Way with lights aglow, streets full of cars and bustling sidewalks.
