Best Wishes, Sol Seay 2-18-09. Attorney Solomon Snowden Seay Jr. (1931-2015) played an integral role in Alabama communities and courtrooms in support of the civil rights movement from the late 1950s into the 1990s. Seay most notably participated in court cases aimed at desegregating public facilities in Montgomery, Montgomery County, ensuring that Alabama counties enforced the integration of public schools mandated by state and federal courts, and outlawing disenfranchisement practices dictated in the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He interceded in numerous causes around the state where white supremacists threatened the safety and livelihood of African American residents. Seay's legal activities demonstrate that the civil rights struggle was not restricted to urban areas in the Southeast, but pervaded rural areas as well, and that struggle persists into contemporary times. Delores R. Boyd practiced law for twenty-five years in her hometown of Montgomery, Alabama, before serving as a municipal court judge and a United States Magistrate Judge. Currently a mediator, Boyd is a product of Montgomery’s transition in the 1960s from a Jim Crow society. More

Notes on Sources. Index. William M. Tuttle Jr. is a professor and author of books of note on twentieth-century American history and African-American history. He earned a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin. He was a professor at the University of Kansas from 1967 until he retired in 2008. He was among the founders of the University's branch of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. He has published many scholarly articles and has won several awards, including the H.O.P.E. Teaching Award from the Class of 2001. In 2018, Denison University awarded him with an honorary doctorate degree. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Drawing on letters, diaries and interviews, he takes a close look at the experiences and perceptions of American children during WW II. Focusing particularly on the psychological impact of a father's absence, Tuttle is sensitive to the difference between the reactions of sons and those of daughters. But fathers weren't the only ones to ship out, and Tuttle examines the impact of the entry of mothers into the war-production labor force. The author recalls how important comic books, radio programs, cereal boxtop toys and even jump-rope ditties were to children. He analyzes the values emphasized during wartime--marriage and family, patriotism and U.S. leadership of the ``free world''--and shows how these beliefs endured. This eloquent study is a fully realized evocation of the wartime years from the American child's point of view. More
