“…That meant a dollar increase of $2,195 per white unit compared to one of only $1,756 per Negro unit. Black colleges bulged during the postwar era, with 79,391 students enrolled and 8,504 degrees awarded in [1949][1950]. The problem was that there was insufficient room for prospective black enrollees in either Negro or white colleges.…”

Here is a thorough treatment of every important aspect of minority affairs during the Truman administration. The authors trace the significant developments in the quest for minority rights from 1945 to 1953, show the interrelatedness to the struggle waged by Americas racial minorities, and assess the role of the Truman administration in that struggle.The quest of minority peoples for civil rights was a scattered, meager movement until the beginning of the Second World War. Minority group members were segregated, intimidated, poverty-ridden, and undernourished, and their struggle suffered from these weaknesses. This situation changed to an unprecedented extent during the years between 1945 and 1953.Under President Harry S. Truman, the executive branch of the federal government listened to minority groups as never before and often responded to their entreaties and pressures. Civil-rights victories were won in the courts. Educational levels rose and employment opportunities increased. Legal segregation began to crumble, and the campaign for better housing inched forward. Alliances were forged among racial minorities, Jews, organized labor, and political and religious liberals.Sizable elements among the minority group ranks developed a modicum of economic power and political influence for the first time during the Truman administration. This rudimentary power was among the bases for civil-rights and racial developments after 1953.Although the civil-rights story of the Truman administration is one relating mainly to blacks, this study deals with other minority groups, including Indians, Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Japanese- and Chinese-Americans, and Jews. Based on extensive research in primary source materials, it is a balanced, in-depth analysis of the power of minorities in eliciting change. It is a valuable addition to the study of social as well as political history.

“…The coalition's work was best seen in the struggles in Congress and state legislatures for fair employment laws, although after 1945 it was active on other fronts too. It reached its high point about [1949][1950], after which, distracted by the effects of the Korean War and the country's loyalty-security psychosis, the coalition lost momentum.…”

In its most common contemporary use, independent or “indie” film refers to works produced or distributed by a company without ties to the major Hollywood studio system or via a subsidiary of one of the larger conglomerates (e.g., Fox Searchlight, Sony Pictures Classics). Historically, independent productions shared some broad parameters with studio films — they were feature‐length films produced for theatrical distribution; they had a narrative with a beginning, a middle, and an end; and they featured a cast of characters who often, though not always, were played by professional actors. As Yanni Tzioumakis acknowledges, independent film is a “notoriously difficult concept to define” (2006, 1). On the most general level, however, the business model most independent films have traditionally employed has allowed filmmakers to shift creative and commercial interests away from the hands of industry workers and executives. What is privileged instead is the notion of film as a form of personal expression controlled by individuals who see themselves primarily as artists, regardless of whether they are actors, directors, cinematographers, or writers.
