A survey by BNA Inc., a Washington D.C. business news publisher, in 2000, revealed that less than one-quarter of businesses give their workers a day off with pay. Worse, the number of firms that gave their employees a paid holiday plunged from the year before. The number of companies that acknowledge King’s birthday pales in comparison to the next least celebrated holiday, Presidents Day. Fifty percent of companies give their workers that day off.

Dudziak Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Search within this book at Google Print In 1958, an African-American handyman named Jimmy Wilson was sentenced to die in Alabama for stealing two dollars. Shocking as this sentence was, it was overturned only after intense international attention and the interference of an embarrassed John Foster Dulles. Soon after the United States' segregated military defeated a racist regime in World War II, American racism was a major concern of U.S. allies, a chief Soviet propaganda theme, and an obstacle to American Cold War goals throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Each lynching harmed foreign relations, and "the Negro problem" became a central issue in every administration from Truman to Johnson. In what may be the best analysis of how international relations affected any domestic issue, Mary Dudziak interprets postwar civil rights as a Cold War feature. She argues that the Cold War helped facilitate key social reforms, including desegregation. Civil rights activists gained tremendous advantage as the government sought to polish its international image. But improving the nation's reputation did not always require real change. This focus on image rather than substancecombined with constraints on McCarthy-era political activism and the triumph of law-and-order rhetoriclimited the nature and extent of progress.

HOME PAGE Labor Rights Are Civil Rights: Mexican American Workers in Twentieth-Century America Zaragosa Vargas Shopping Cart Endorsements Table of Contents Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format] In 1937, Mexican workers were among the strikers and supporters beaten, arrested, and murdered by Chicago policemen in the now infamous Republic Steel Mill Strike. Using this event as a springboard, Zaragosa Vargas embarks on the first full-scale history of the Mexican-American labor movement in twentieth-century America. Absorbing and meticulously researched, Labor Rights Are Civil Rights paints a multifaceted portrait of the complexities and contours of the Mexican American struggle for equality from the 1930s to the postwar era. Drawing on extensive archival research, Vargas focuses on the large Mexican American communities in Texas, Colorado, and California. As he explains, the Great Depression heightened the struggles of Spanish speaking blue-collar workers, and employers began to define citizenship to exclude Mexicans from political rights and erect barriers to resistance. Mexican Americans faced hostility and repatriation. The mounting strife resulted in strikes by Mexican fruit and vegetable farmers. This collective action, combined with involvement in the Communist party, led Mexican workers to unionize. Vargas carefully illustrates how union mobilization in agriculture, tobacco, garment, and other industries became an important vehicle for achieving Mexican American labor and civil rights.

Advanced Search/Archive You Are In: USINFO Topics Democracy Rule of Law Crime Hinders Development, Democracy in Latin America, U.S. Says USAID's Franco calls for comprehensive approach to crime mitigation Latin America's rising crime rate and gang violence are taking a tremendous toll on democratic consolidation and development in the region, and efforts to deal with these threats must address both the law enforcement and social prevention components of crime mitigation, says Adolfo Franco, assistant administrator for Latin America and the Caribbean at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). In April 20 testimony before the House International Relations Committee's Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, Franco examined the issues of "Gangs and Crime in Latin America." Franco pointed out that Latin America's crime rate is double the world average, and he indicated that this high incidence of crime is taking a toll on the region's economic development and public faith in democracy. He said that the Inter-American Development Bank estimates that Latin America's per capita gross domestic product would be 25 percent higher if the region's crime rates were equal to the world average.  The USAID official added that business associations in the region have identified crime as the number-one issue negatively affecting trade and investment, and he explained how crime and underdevelopment are inter-related in the Americas.

Mexican postal officials said the five-stamp series features Memin Pinguin, a character from a comic book created in the 1940s, because he is beloved in Mexico. A spokesman for the Mexican Embassy described the depiction as a cultural image that has no meaning and is not intended to offend. The Mexican government issued a series of five stamps depicting a black cartoon character known as Memin Pinguin.

Voices of Civil Rights Timeline Part 1 1868 - The 14th Amendment Three years after slavery is abolished, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified. The amendment grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States," including former slaves. Known as the "Reconstruction Amendment," it forbids any state to deny any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of its laws." 1875 - Civil Rights Act of 1875 Congress passes the Civil Rights Act of 1875, prohibiting racial discrimination in public spaces, but newly freed blacks are still denied equal treatment under the law. In state after state in the South, the political machinery institutes rules that segregate the races and prevent blacks from participating in the political process. The Civil Rights Act is rarely enforced and is overturned by a Supreme Court ruling in 1883. Plessy v. Ferguson

Contact Us Site Map Home > Publications Race Report The Black Other Publications Published on July 25, 2004 in The Birmingham News (Download PDF) Our Civil Rights Act more than just national legacy By Tianna Paschel, Inter-American Dialogue/Inter-Agency Consultation This month marks the 40th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which, among other things, outlawed racial discrimination in the United States. This legislation, an important part of the democratic heritage of the United States, has also greatly impacted the rest of the hemisphere. Too few know that civil society as well as governments in Latin America look to the legacy of civil rights in the United States to strengthen their cause of equality. As we reflect on the history of civil rights in this country, we should be reminded that today the rest of the hemisphere is still lagging behind in creating democratic structures that include racial and ethnic minorities. There is no doubt that the US sets the tone for Latin America. Racial questions are not the exception. Events like the Michigan decision and the defeat of Proposition 54, which attempted to ban most state agencies of California from collecting racial and ethnic data, could have serious implications for Latin America. The irony is that while the Michigan case forced the Supreme Court to re-examine the constitutionality of affirmative action in the United States, in Brazil, a country praised for its racial mixing, state universities began to implement quota systems for Afro-Brazilians.
