Polarizing America: Chicago 1968 - Heather Hendershot & Kevin Boyle
Media historian Heather Hendershot discusses her book "When the News Broke: Chicago 1968 and the Polarizing of America," a riveting, blow-by-blow account of how the network broadcasts of the 1968 Democratic Convention shattered faith in American media. She sits down with historian Kevin Boyle to discuss these themes and shows how this historic moment has lead to our current media ecosystem and where we go from here.
Presented by the Newberry Library, this conversation took place during the American Writers Festival on May 19, 2024 and was recorded live. To learn more about the American Writers Festival, click here: americanwritersmuseum.org/american-writers-festival/

HEATHER HENDERSHOT is the Cardiss Collins Professor of Communication Studies and Journalism at Northwestern University. Her most recent books are "When the News Broke: Chicago 1968 and the Polarizing of America" and "Open to Debate: How William F. Buckley Put Liberal America on the Firing Line."
KEVIN BOYLE is the William Smith Mason Professor of American History at Northwestern University.

His previous book, "Arc of Justice," won the National Book Award for non-fiction and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He’s also the author of "The UAW and the Heyday of American Liberalism, 1948-1968" and co-author of "Muddy Boots and Ragged Aprons." His essays and reviews have appeared in The Washington Post, the New York Times, the Baltimore Sun, the Chicago Tribune, the Detroit Free Press, and other newspapers and magazines. He and his wife, Victoria Getis, now live in Evanston, IL with their manic one-year old Australian shepherd and, from time to time, with their marvelous daughters, Abby and Nan.

    16:24 I believe those are more commonly known as Hemostats. Retired Firefighter and Paramedic here. And Writer. In 2004, there was a writing competition called the NCWA (New Century Writer's Awards) It was kicked off in 2003, winners were announced in 2004 a year later. This contest was judged by Francis Ford Coppola, and Ray Bradbury. I entered two stories, but one got through and went pretty far, and though I didn't win, I did however, with that Story titles "Outer Darkness" wherein the future a group of human astronauts encounter an Alien derelict spacecraft that is hunted by the ghosts of its pilots. The story was 21 pages long out of the max 35 pages you had to work with. I didn't win, BUT I did make it to number 2 in the Top 10 Nominated by Ray Bradbury, these were 10 stories he liked and of the 10 his winner was picked, and Mr. Coppola had his top 10 nominees and his number one pick, and there was a third Judge, a Producer from Universal Pictures and a Top 10 with 1 winner which together made the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. There were hundreds of thousands of entries it took a whole year to announce the winners. I was disappointed of course I lost to a story title "Milk" but that's the way the cookie crumbles as they say....but here is why I am telling this here.... I received a certified letter from Ray Bradbury that was typed, and in the letter, one page rectangle sheet, very nice paper soft with fine wrinkles, an off white or vanilla ice cream color, in this letter he wrote me to tell me how much he enjoyed my story, and he encouraged me to continue to write and think outside the box, and at the end he typed, Written on my '47 Royal KMM And then he made a space where he was able to sign and type his name. So when you showed his Royal KMM I got chills as I instantly remembered that letter and thought my God, a letter he wrote to me went through that machine! Goosebumps, actual goosebumps! Thank you so much for showing this event and although I was nowhere near it, I'm sorry I missed this. But I'm glad I finally got to see The Actual Royal KMM that letter I got was probably the very same one. I too use and collect Typewriters and write all my first drafts on a Typewriter then hand copy it into a computer, this was it's very familiar to me and it had an extra edit. In my current collection I have: 1990 brother EP-43 1983 brother EP-20 1972 SCM Electra 110 1968 Royal Aristocrat Special 1964 SCM Galaxie Deluxe 1959 Hermes 3000 1955 Golden Shield made by SCM They are all in perfect working order and I use them all when working, well except maybe the Aristocrat as it's a bet heavy of the hands even with the tension up on light, it's not meant for Book manuscripts. More like 1-3 page letters. But the best machine the real work horses are the SCM Galaxie Deluxe and 110 Electra, and the Hermes 3000....that Hermes is a Gen 1 curve body, and it's so so,,so nice to write one, absolutely a dream Typewriter that you can just go and go and go, just write and hands don't hurt, you absolutely can just get lost as the dream opens up and the Hermes 3000 vanishes. Thanks for reading ❤

An educated woman is worthless woman, but Tan (the man) Yunxian born into an elite family, haunted by death, separations, and loneliness is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Instead, of following pop American/Europian culture it is instigated to follow their traditions, it may not be what the book is about but by the way Ms. Tan is posed it indicates just that.

    she omits the DEMOCRAT KKK PARTY - - - Each year after passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act up until 1977, the Democratic controlled House passed at least one new law designed to restrain school integration-often in the guise of anti-busing legislation. Until 1974, the Senate rejected those bills. But as white resistance to busing escalated in many cities across the country, the House Democrats anti-busing majority began to pull more Democratic senators to their side. In 1975, Sen. Joseph Biden proposed an amendment that gutted Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which enabled the federal government to cut off funding to school districts that refused to integrate. Politico writes of the whole sordid affair, Biden morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader-all the while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation, he only opposed busing as the means to achieve that end. This stance, which many of Biden’s liberal and moderate colleagues also held, was clever but disingenuous. It enabled Biden to choose votes over principles, while acting as if he was not doing so....In a seminal moment, the Senate thus turned against desegregation. The Senate had supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 1965 Voting Rights Act and 1968 Fair Housing Act....the Senate remained the last bastion for those who supported strong integration policies. Biden stormed that bastion... A Boston NAACP leader said, “An anti-busing amendment is an anti-desegregation amendment, and an anti-desegregation amendment is an anti-black amendment.” Republican Sen. Edward Brooke, the first black senator ever to be directly elected, called Biden's amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for civil rights since 1964.” Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.

    Documentary filmmaker Sixx King is black and he's tired of black-on-black violence so he wanted to do something proactive to make a statement. So he put on a KKK outfit with a white hood and stood in public in Philadelphia to draw attention to an issue that the black community has not been able to solve - black men killing black men at record numbers. This is not just a Philadelphia problem, this is a problem in most large urban populations. Last year, Chicago reported more than 500 homicides, and most involved black men killed by black men. In Milwaukee County, of the 101 homicide victims in 2012, 71 were black males, according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office. King, 35, is tired and I am, too. While wearing the costume, he had a sign saying that black violence kills more blacks than the Klan ever has. Sixx said in 2011 more than 7,000 black people were killed; he said the KKK killed 3,446 blacks in 86 years. Black-on-black murders surpass the number of people killed by the KKK every six months. I know a number of blacks and some whites who will find what King did offensive. I understand that, but ask yourself this question: What do you see black politicians doing about the issue? I mostly hear crickets. Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton said last year that he was appalled by the silence and lack of outrage after several MPS students were killed. King is bringing awareness to the black hypocrisy of being complacent when we know we have a problem and we are doing little to address it. We can talk about jobs all we want, and yes, high unemployment is a problem. But blacks have been poor for a long time and we didn't kill each other at the rate that we are doing now. This is not a gun problem; this is a societal problem that needs to be addressed, and our black leaders, churches, families, youth and schools should be demanding change.
