I too, uh...missed two postings. Thanks for the offer of amnesty Dr. Benson (hopes the amnesty time frame hasn't expired).

Roaring Twenties
Every time I think of the Roaring Twenties, I think of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book: The Great Gatsby. I’ve never associated the roaring twenties with the “new Negro”. As usual, extreme individuals exist. Garvey viewed every white man as a “potential Klansman” while Klansmen like William J. Simmons viewed every black man as a potential rapist of his wife, mother, daughter or aunt.

Civil Rights Struggle
I was surprised…slightly to find out that Kennedy wasn’t the blatant advocate of the civil rights movement as I initially thought. Like Lincoln, his political welfare was at stake if he were to take a radical stance against the Southern Democrats. MLK is accredited with the CRM, but many others, whites, blacks, people from different socio-economic backgrounds participated in this grass roots movement. As our group concluded in class, is it easier to associate an event with one person.

I really enjoyed the discussions guys. It was refreshing to meet some opened-minded people (you know who you are) at Furman, and it was nice having discussions with those of you set in your ways as well.

Good luck and see you all 8:00 sharp (and yes, I'll be on time)!

. What exactly is the significance of M. J. Horwitz's Transformation of the American Law? I have that it is instrumentalism and that the courts make laws according to the needs of the times...but I don't remember/understand what that means in terms of creating corporations...
