A young Howard Zinn (future author of the worldwide best seller A People's History of the United States) was a professor of history at Spelman during this era and served as an adviser to the Atlanta sit-in movement and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Zinn mentored many of Spelman's students active in the black freedom movement at the time, including Alice Walker, Marian Wright Edelman, and Roslyn Pope. As a key facilitator of the Spelman student movement, Zinn supported students who challenged and criticized the campus's paternalistic social restrictions, even when this led to conflicts with the Spelman administration. Zinn's involvement with the Atlanta student movement and his closeness to Spelman's leading student and faculty activists gave him an insider's view of that movement and of the political and intellectual world of Spelman, Atlanta University, and SNCC. Robert Cohen presents a thorough historical overview as well as an entreÌe to the diary Zinn kept during this tumultuous time. One of the most extensive records of the political climate on a historically black college in 1960s America, Zinn's diary is a fascinating historical document of the free speech, academic freedom, and student rights battles that rocked Spelman and led to Zinn's dismissal from the college in 1963 for supporting the student movement--back cover. 600 10 $a Zinn, Howard, $d 1922-2010 $v Diaries. 610 20 $a Spelman College $x History. 600 17 $a Zinn, Howard, $d 1922-2010. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734796 610 27 $a Spelman College. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00577484 651 0 $a Southern States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Cohen, Robert, $d 1955 May 21- $e writer of added commentary. $e writer of added commentary. 700 1 $a Walker, Alice, $d 1944- $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105021743.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926100524.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA105094E19111E89124B82197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
