After conquering some technical difficulties, we are happy to be back online with a new issue featuring Clarence Wunderlin\u2019s study of Robert A. Taft\u2019s Firestone Memorial Oration during the 1938 Ohio Senate campaign. Its examination of the speech and its context not only sheds light on the Republican Party\u2019s difficulties in courting the African-American vote at the time, but also has some relevance to their similar struggles in the present.<\/p>\n
In addition to this issue\u2019s book review, we also encourage the reader to explore the other features of our site. For those who missed earlier issues, please visit our “Past Issues<\/a>” page, which contains the entire contents of previous volumes. We have expanded our “Research Links” feature, adding not only more primary sources but also more links to local historical agencies. We strongly encourage the reader to suggest or send new links for this page. The same is true for items in “Current History,” which is a clearinghouse for information on events of a historical nature in Northeast Ohio. Because we update this section constantly, please feel free to send announcements for it at any time.<\/p>\n We would also like to remind our readers that printer-friendly versions accompany each article and review.
