Abstract:
Papers of Staughton Lynd, a leftist historian and labor lawyer who was prominent in both the civil rights and the anti-war movements. The majority of the papers cover the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, with the emphasis on the varied social movements and radical activities with which he was affiliated rather than on Lynd himself. Articles and writings, correspondence, and clippings and other printed matter refer to campus protests of the 1960s; civil rights; the Vietnam War; tax reform; the Kennedy assassination; Jobs or Income Now (JOIN), a group which sought to organize the poor in Chicago; union organizing, especially among public employees in the Chicago and Gary, Indiana, area; the Mass Party Organizing Committee, a group which attempted to formulate a mass, Leninist, working-class party; and the New American Movement, a group which sought to build a mass-based democratic socialist movement in the United States. There are also files on Lynd's attempt to bring a leftist perspective to the historical profession and to the American Historical Association.

Biography/History

Since the early 1960s Staughton Lynd has been one of the most prominent and respected figures of the American Left. Over the years he has lent his name and devoted his energies to movements that have sought to effect fundamental and radical social change in the United States. He has been a leader in the civil rights movement, an outspoken critic of the Vietnam war, a community organizer, a labor organizer, an advocate of the radicalization of the American historical profession, and a leading figure in the campus protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s. His career, similarly devoted to social change, drew him first into social work, then into higher education, and finally into labor law.

Born in 1929, Lynd was raised in New York City. His parents, Robert S. and Helen M. Lynd, wrote Middletown (1929) and Middletown in Transition (1937), noted social studies of Muncie, Indiana. Both of his parents were professors: his father at Columbia and his mother at Sarah Lawrence College. Robert S. Lynd, active in the civil liberties struggles of the McCarthy era, supported improved relations with the Soviet Union, an early end to the Korean war, the right of professors to be members of the Communist Party, and the repeal of the McCarran Act. Moreover, he was a supporter of the Progressive Party, an early advocate of civil rights, and a member of the national committee of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Staughton Lynd's education reflected the liberal and academic values of his parents. He attended the Ethical Culture and Fieldston schools in New York. He then was awarded a Harvard Club scholarship and eventually graduated from Harvard in 1951. After graduation, he studied city planning at Harvard and the University of Chicago.

Throughout his early life Lynd was active in Leftist politics and the pacifist movement. From 1946 to 1949, he belonged to the American Youth for Democracy, which maintained friendly cooperation with the American Communist Party. Briefly in 1949, he was attracted to Trotskyism and joined the International Socialist League and the Socialist Workers Party. At Harvard he was a member of the John Reed Society and often wrote papers from a distinctly radical or Marxist perspective.

After graduation from Harvard, Lynd confronted many changes in his life. In 1951 he married Alice Niles at the Stony Run Friends Meeting House in Baltimore. They had met at Harvard Summer School. Then, facing induction into the Army, he declared his status as a conscientious objector. Subsequently, he was drafted as a noncombatant and was undesirably discharged in 1954 because of his suspected radical orientation. A Supreme Court decision later forced the Army to grant honorable discharges to him and about 100 other men who had been similarly charged.

With his wife, Lynd joined the Quaker-oriented Macedonia Cooperative Community in northeast Georgia, where they remained for over three years. Lynd found the communal living experience -- in which he rose at 5 a.m. to milk cows and make toys in the woodworking shop -- a very positive one. Nevertheless, in 1958 he returned to New York City and joined the staff of the University Settlement House on the Lower East Side where he organized tenants and dealt with their housing problems. After about a year of work, Lynd became disenchanted with what he could accomplish as a social worker and returned to college to study American history. In the process, he became a pioneer in a movement that sought to radicalize, or at least to influence significantly from a Leftist perspective, the American historical profession. Lynd entered Columbia University in 1959 and received a doctorate three years later. His dissertation, “The Revolution and the Common Man,” dealt with tenants and artisans in New York during and just after the American Revolution. From 1961 to 1964, Lynd taught history at Spelman College, a school for Black women in Atlanta, Georgia. In the fall of 1964, he became an assistant professor at Yale University.

Lynd was active in many of the major left-wing social and political movements of the 1960s. In Georgia, he was president of the Atlanta Peace Fellowship. He also participated in the civil rights movement in the South. After gaining experience in the movement, he directed in the summer of 1964 the Freedom Schools in Mississippi which taught remedial academic subjects and courses on Black and civil rights history. Shortly after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Lynd joined the growing number who doubted that Oswald was guilty or had acted alone. In August 1965, Lynd was arrested in Washington during a demonstration of the “Assembly of Unrepresented People” and was sentenced to a $100 fine or thirty days in jail.

Lynd acquired nationwide attention because of his early activities against the war in Vietnam. His most dramatic opposition came at Christmas time in 1965 when he flew to Hanoi with Tom Hayden, a founder of SDS, and Herbert Aptheker, a leading theoretician of the American Communist Party. They spent ten days in Hanoi and had a ninety-minute interview with Pham Van Dong and representatives of the National Liberation Front (NLF). The group's purpose was to encourage a negotiated settlement of the war by providing the American public with a truer picture of the position of the NLF, but it was widely believed by those who supported the government's position in regard to the war that their mission had aided the war aims of North Vietnam. According to federal law, Lynd's group could have been jailed for five years and fined up to $5,000 each for unauthorized foreign travel. In addition to his trip, Lynd frequently wrote against the war and appeared at rallies to express his opposition.

In 1968, he was arrested at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and fined $500. Moreover, he was sympathetic to student pro-tests of the 1960s against the Vietnam war and against the traditional structure of universities. Lynd was a frequent speaker at campus protests.

Lynd spent only a year and a half at Yale after his return from Hanoi. In September 1966, he took a year's leave to go to England with full pay on a Morse fellowship to do research on the origins of American radicalism. The next fall, he took another leave -- this time without pay -- to go to Chicago and work for the Chicago Organizing School, an activist training center which sought to organize impoverished communities into centers of radical opposition to existing political and economic conditions. Although the exact role that Lynd's radical activism played in his teaching career is a matter of contention, he was denied tenure by Yale following his second leave. Lynd sought a teaching position in the Chicago area, but failed to receive any permanent position which led him and his supporters to believe that he was refused positions because of his political activities. Most administrators denied the charge. However when the Illinois Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities denied his appointment to the faculty at Chicago State, despite the unanimous recommendation of the faculty and administration that he be hired, it explicitly rejected his application on the grounds that a scholar should not violate the law, as Lynd had in his trip to Hanoi. The failure of Lynd to acquire a teaching position in Chicago caused him to abandon his attempts to teach within a traditional academic environment. He continued to teach without pay at the Chicago Organizing School. Although he could have returned to Yale for one final year in September 1968, he did not. He was denied tenure in the spring of 1969.

Lynd has authored an impressive number of works on historical and political topics:

  • American Labor Radicalism. New York: Wiley, 1973.
  • Anti-Federalism in Dutchess County. Chicago: Loyola UP, 1962.
  • Class Conflict, Slavery and the U.S. Constitution. Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1968.
  • Intellectual Origins of American Radicalism. New York: Pantheon, 1968.
  • Nonviolence in America. Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1966.
  • The Other Side (with Tom Hayden). New York: New American Library, 1967.
  • Reconstruction. New York: Harper, 1967.
  • Strategy and Program: Two Essays Toward A New American Socialism Boston: Beacon, 1973.
  • The Resistance (with Michael Ferber). Boston: Beacon, 1971.
  • Rank and File (with Alice Lynd). Boston: Beacon, 1973.

Nothwithstanding his failure to acquire a teaching position, Lynd continued his efforts to encourage the study of history from a radical perspective. He had developed close ties with other radical historians within and outside the profession, and he continued his association with them. The radicals were strong enough to pose a serious threat to the structure and leadership of the American Historical Association (AHA).

Lynd was a leader of this drive. When the radicals challenged the traditionalists at the AHA convention in 1969, they chose him as their candidate for the presidency of the organization. But the old guard prevailed and their candidate, Robert R. Palmer, defeated Lynd 1040 to 396. The radicals raised other issues in addition to the restructuring of the profession and the AHA. They were concerned over the lack of jobs for new historians and the failure of the AHA to denounce the Vietnam war more strenuously.

When the mass protest movements of the 1960s began to wane in the next decade, Lynd channeled his radicalism in new directions. He attempted to promote radical oral history and writings on the lives of labor militants and rank-and-file unionists. From 1969 to 1971, Lynd assisted John W. Anderson, a militant in the United Auto Workers Union, in writing about his struggles against both the auto industry and his union. In 1973, along with his wife, Lynd published Rank and File whose chief purpose was to depict the lives of ordinary union members, especially their struggles against excessive union bureaucratization. Lynd also sought to encourage radicals to record their experiences orally, both to prevent the loss of such information and as an alternative to traditional historical methods and areas of concern. In the early 1970s Lynd became prominent in the New American Movement (NAM), which sought to make democratic socialism a major issue before the American people. NAM was a product of the social struggles of the 1960s, and most of its leaders, like Lynd, had been active in the earlier decade, but now believed that the increasingly disparate tendencies of the New Left should be coordinated into a unified effort.

In the early 1970s Lynd once again changed careers. He entered law school at the University of Chicago and graduated with a concentration in labor law. He then joined a law firm in Youngstown, Ohio, which specialized in labor law, especially in the problems of rank-and-file union members. This collection contains no records relating to Lynd's interest and career in labor law.

Scope and Content Note

The papers record only a moderate portion of Lynd's career and activities. The emphasis is on the varied social movements and radical activities in which he participated. But even in these areas, only a modest amount of material has been preserved. The collection is arranged in series according to subjects. Within these broad subjects the arrangement is topical. The papers cover a fairly long time period, from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, but most concentrate on the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. The collection is organized in 14 series.

The first series, JOHN W. ANDERSON WRITINGS, 1969-1971, consists primarily of the writings of a militant in the United Auto Workers, his correspondence with Lynd, and a transcript of a lengthy oral history interview that Anderson gave in 1960. Lynd helped Anderson write his autobiography and to revise it for publication. The autobiography was never published, but the edited and original manuscripts of it are preserved in the collection. This segment also contains various other articles Anderson wrote and sent to Lynd for his revision.

Although CAMPUS PROTESTS, 1968-1972, consists chiefly of clippings, newspapers, and private circulars which Lynd collected on protest movements which occurred on various university campuses in Chicago, there is a substantial amount of material from other universities, such as Indiana University where Lynd ran as a mock candidate for chancellor. These papers illustrate the unrest on some university campuses, but Lynd himself does not figure prominently in any of the material. An exception is a tape recording in this series; the recording is a speech Lynd made on the University of Wisconsin campus in 1972 during a labor teach-in.

The CHICAGO RED SQUAD FILE, consists of records maintained by the “Red Squad” section of the Chicago Police Department on the activities of Lynd and his father. The file was released to Lynd because of a law suit brought by the Better Government Association to make public certain records of police intelligence. It dates from 1940 to April 1977, when the material was presented to Lynd.

The CIA FILE was compiled by the Central Intelligence Agency on the activities of Lynd from February 1963 to October 1967. The CIA released only part of the file to Lynd in accordance with the federal Freedom of Information Act. Nevertheless, it records a large number of Lynd's political activities. It consists of Xeroxed copies of clippings, articles, and staff reports.

The series CIVIL RIGHTS contains mainly clippings and printed material which Lynd collected while participating in the civil rights movement in the South in the early 1960s. It dates from 1958 to 1965, but concentrates on the middle years of this period. There is some material for the areas in which Lynd was active, such as Mississippi, but little that specifically records his activities. Photographs include images related to Freedom Schools in Indianola and Meridian, Miss., 1964, including images of students, a construction project, and convention.

The JOIN series, 1965-1967, documents the agitation of Jobs or Income Now (JOIN), a group which sought to organize poor people in Chicago on the community level. An offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the organization was one of several similar local organizing projects founded by SDS. JOIN concentrated upon the Uptown slum neighbor-hood abounding with white immigrants from the South, Puerto Ricans, and Indians. Its goal was to bring temporary relief to the immediate problems of these people and to raise their awareness of the deeper causes of slum conditions. The records are fairly complete and include extensive correspondence, financial records, printed material, newsletters, and documents. Lynd is not prominently mentioned in this series.

The series KENNEDY ASSASSINATION, 1963-1964, reflects Lynd's interest in the matter and contains articles that he collected on the subject, his own articles, and his correspondence with others who shared his scepticism that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted as the lone assassin.

Lynd's interest in social action on the local level is recorded in the series LOCAL ORGANIZING--CHICAGO/GARY, 1967-1972. It pertains mainly to his local activities when he lived in the Chicago area in the early 1970s. His main concerns were encouraging unionization, especially of public employees, and aiding local people to gain more community control over institutions that affected their daily lives. The series also contains printed material which Lynd collected during the 1968 Democratic Convention and historical material on the local area. The latter reflects the connection which radicals made between understanding the past and their agitation to change present conditions.

The MASS PARTY ORGANIZING COMMITTEE series, 1973-1975, contains some records of an organization with which Lynd was in contact in 1973 and 1974. The Committee was attempting to formulate a mass working-class party based on the theories of Lenin. Lynd rejected the group as being undemocratic, but still engaged in discussions with the committee on the viability of their proposals. The records in the series are mainly his correspondence with the committee and various printed materials which the committee sent to him.

The series, NEW AMERICAN MOVEMENT, 1971-1975, contains the records which Lynd collected and produced while a member of the New American Movement (NAM). This organization, founded in 1971, sought to build a mass-based democratic socialist movement in the United States that would draw its main support from working-class people rather than from students. Lynd was one of the chief promoters of NAM in the five-month formative period before its first national convention in November 1971 which founded a tentative national organization and adopted a set of priority programs. Lynd was elected to the thirteen-member national interim committee, established at the convention to serve in an advisory role until the organization could hold a formal founding convention. Although Lynd remained active in NAM throughout its early years there was growing disillusionment among many of its other supporters. The series contains a variety of material which NAM produced, printed material, bulletins, newsletters, and records which show the personal involvement of Lynd in the organization, such as correspondence and material from local chapters.

The PROPERTY TAX AGITATION series documents Lynd's desire to redress inequality in the tax structure, especially on the local level. It contains material which Lynd collected on the topic: clippings, the Property Tax Newsletter, printed material, and research material. Lynd corresponded with others to promote his ideas and often wrote on the subject of tax reform. His correspondence and some of his writings are included in the series. Most of the records date from the early 1970s. In addition, the series contains publications of the Writer's Workshop, a non-profit organization in Gary, Indiana, with which Lynd associated, that frequently produced pamphlets on the abuses of the tax structure.

The efforts of Lynd to influence from a Leftist perspective the American historical profession is evidenced in the series, RADICAL CAUCUS IN THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION (AHA). The candidacy of Lynd for the presidency of the American Historical Association (AHA) in 1969 is shown especially well here. Although the radical caucus developed momentum prior to 1969, most of the material in the series dates just before the convention and then after it to 1975. Correspondence that Lynd had with others who shared his views comprises the major part of this segment, but it also contains newsletters and other publications of the radical caucus or individual members.

The RADICAL ORAL HISTORY series, 1969-1975, attests to Lynd's interest in promoting the study of history from a radical perspective and in preserving oral transcripts of the experiences of the lower class. Included in the series are primarily correspondence of Lynd with others who were interested in oral history and the manuscripts that he collected from these individuals.

The efforts of Lynd and his wife Alice to publish Rank and File, a book about ordinary members of trade unions, are preserved in the RANK AND FILE series, 1971-1973, undated It contains material generated in the various stages of the production of the book, including manuscript source material and notes. Some of the personal histories of the workers in this series were not published. There is also a fairly extensive collection of correspondence recording the attempts of the Lynds to publish their book and to find and gather material from suitable subjects.

The final series, VIETNAM ANTIWAR MOVEMENT, 1964-1970, consists of the records that Lynd produced or gathered in his long period of opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam war. Most of the series is printed material which Lynd collected from various antiwar movements. Some clippings and correspondence, relate to Lynd's Hanoi trip and the legal and political problems that followed it.
