Segregationist Organizations And The Promotion Of Violence During The Hoxie And Little Rock Crises Of 1955 And 1957, Dan A. Benton
Segregationist Organizations And The Promotion Of Violence During The Hoxie And Little Rock Crises Of 1955 And 1957, Dan A. Benton
Theses and Dissertations
During the mid to late 1950s, Hoxie and Little Rock were Arkansas communities that experienced social unrest and violence when their public schools began to desegregate. White Citizens' Council of Arkansas and White America Incorporated were segregationist groups they attempted to prevent integration at Hoxie but failed because their leaders publicly asked local citizens to resort to violence to stop desegregation of local classrooms. The Capital Citizens' Council and the Mothers' League were anti-integrationist organizations in Little Rock that adapted from the mistakes committed at Hoxie. For a time they promoted violence at Little Rock while avoiding repercussions from local, …
Forgotten But Not Forgiven: The Legacy Of Governor Ben T. Laney, M. Melissa Laney
Forgotten But Not Forgiven: The Legacy Of Governor Ben T. Laney, M. Melissa Laney

This thesis examines the life and career of Benjamin T.

Using Laney's papers, including letters, speeches, and news clippings, this study also seeks to answer why Laney never fully committed to the Dixiecrat movement, a moniker that impacted …

Superpower Relations, Backchannels, And The Subcontinent, Luke A. Nichter, Richard A. Moss
Presidential Studies Faculty Articles and Research
In his 1978 memoirs, President Nixon claimed, “By using diplomatic signals and behind-the-scenes pressures we had been able to save West Pakistan from the imminent threat of Indian aggression and domination. We had also once again avoided a major confrontation with the Soviet Union.”[1] Kissinger’s far more detailed chapter on “the tilt,” in the first volume of his memoirs, White House Years, complements and largely corroborates Nixon’s. Kissinger argued that Nixon did not want to “squeeze Yahya” and tried to put forward a neutral posture to the bloodshed in East Pakistan so as not to encourage secessionist elements within an …
