1969réf. 232621969. Student ActivismAnti-Racism UC Berkeley student organizing broadside advocating for Third World Studies and against racist education policy. "Third World students" voice a demand for "an autonomous Third World college" and the rejection of a Black Studies department "under the control of the administration." The broadside ties those demands to the School of Education and the political responsibilities of future teachers naming "the suppression of Eldridge Cleaver" as an example of how the university functioned within "the perpetuation of racist exploitation." Its argument is built section by section through "What Is Racism" "Education and Racism" "The University and Racism" "Third World Fight Against Racism" "Student Teachers" and "The Education Caucus" moving from campus labor and admissions policy to housing wage inequality Vietnam era military service and public school teaching. Student Teachers: Support the Fight Against Racism. Education Caucus. Berkeley circa 1969. Mimeographed leaflet 2 pages on one sheet printed recto and verso 8.5 x 14 inches. The text opens by stating that "for nine months Third World students on the Berkeley campus have been negotiating with the administration" then argues that administrative concessions left control of curriculum and hiring in university hands. Subsequent sections sharpen that claim through specific figures and institutions asserting that Black people make "on the average $2500 less a year than do white workers" that "44% of black people live" in inadequate housing and that "over 70% of the combat deaths of California in Vietnam are chicano and black." The School of Education material is especially pointed arguing that future teachers receive "no courses dealing with the basis of racism or with ways of realistically combatting racism in the public schools" and calling on student teachers to "boycott all classes on campus" and join picketing "at the Sather Gate picket line from 11:00-2:00 every day." The leaflet closes with meeting information for the Education Caucus and three telephone numbers for organizing support. The piece belongs to the Berkeley strike wave that produced the most consequential campus battle over Third World Studies and Ethnic Studies in the United States. By directing an appeal to student teachers invoking New York teachers' strikes and proposing "a 199 course next quarter" and ultimately "a permanent course on racism and teaching Third World students" it documents a concrete goal of anti-racist student protest to improve the training and awareness of educators in racial inequality. Light toning and a few light ink marks; clean and sound overall; overall very good condition. A Berkeley student broadside linking the Third World Liberation Front strike to teacher training curriculum and the formation of anti-racist educational practice. unknown

'On my return Home late yesterday Evening I found that Mr. O'Kelly had been waiting for some hours to consult with me relative to your letter to him of the 25th inst. . I understand from Mr O'Kelly that 25 Copies of the Papers alluded to were privately printed about 15 only of which were circulated for the use of our Committee & Members of the Hunt to save the Secretary time & trouble in going into an explanation with the several parties interested in the settlement of thte question. I have Mr. O'Kelly's assurance that in adopting this course he never meant any personal offence to Coll. Keppel .'.

LETTER 5: Berkeley to Gould 28 November 1842 Charborough Park. Gould is 'not in possession of all the facts of the case'.

Keppel was himself the largest contributor to our Lymington Harriers he was kept profoundly ignorant of the whole transaction of printing' . to use Coll. Keppel's words to Mr O'Kelly in his note to him of the 22d I care not what mere publicity has been given to that part of the transaction but it is the printing and publishing of a private correspondence coupled with objectionable remarks for which I still demand redress.' LETTER 6: Gould to Berkeley 29 November 1842 Muddiford near Christchurch. '. I am decidedly of your opinion that the Copies ought to be withdrawn from those persons . not being connected with the Lymington Hunt .'.

réf. 25127‘Emerald Nore the 12 Decr 1795’. At the time of writing Berkeley’s newly-constructed HMS Emerald had just completed her coppering and fitting-out at Woolwich. Sailing to join Jervis’s Mediterranean fleet within less than a year she would be involved in controversy. Following the Battle of Cape St Vincent 14 February 1797 in which HMS Emerald was too lightly built to take part the victorious Jervis sent Berkeley off with a squadron of five ships in search of the disabled Spanish flagship Santisima Trinidad. On 20 February Berkeley declined to engage when he sighted her under tow. This decision was widely criticised and there were calls for Berkeley’s court-martial. Two months later on 26 April 1797 HMS Emerald was cruising with the Irresistible off the Spanish coast when they captured two enemy frigates one of which sank at sea. 1p folio. In fair condition on aged and worn paper with slight chipping to corners and edges. Addressed to ‘Principal Officers & Commrs. of HMs. Navy’.
