Sample text

7 Rainach understood, like many Americans, that Brown in its essence was more than an education decision; it was an assault on Jim Crow in all of its forms. Together with like-minded allies inside and outside of the state legislature, he threw himself into segregation’s defense. The legislature created a Joint Legislative Committee on segregation, with Rainach as its chair. The Committee’s purpose was to respond to “problems arising from the Supreme Court decision” so that “segregation in all its phases” would be maintained.

Helena case (a ruling Rainach learned in advance), State Attorney General Fred LeBlanc labeled the Louisiana NAACP subversive. The Joint Legislative Committee and its network of Citizens’ Council allies inside and outside of government criminalized the Louisiana NAACP, raided its offices, and seized its assets. 10 Since Rainach and his allies upset the equilibrium in African American voting, it even seemed in this period that implacable segregationists such as Rainach could threaten the state’s most popular politicians—New Orleans mayor Chep Morrison and (after 1956) the new governor, Earl Long—who were, in the Louisiana context, relatively less strident white supremacists and who cultivated and relied upon carefully managed lists of black voters.

Milton FREEDOM 15 Friedman is best known as an economic conservative, but he was uncomfortable with the conservative label, preferring instead “the rightful and proper label of liberalism” (in Brinkley’s nomenclature, “laissez-faire liberalism”). To Friedman the conservative label was second best because liberalism (in the 19th-century sense of the term) had a radical element; it did not merely seek to conserve. The two strands, economic and social, did not necessarily complement each other—the profit motive did not lead logically to support for a state that policed individual morality, nor did the extension of religiosity and tradition lead logically to laissez-faire capitalism.
