LETTER FROM THE EDITORS
Events need not be a hundred or more years in the past, nor instantly recognizable, to qualify as historically significant. As the essays in the Spring 2013 issue of The Yale Historical Review reveal, the past century was one of extreme social change wrought by war, domestic political turmoil, international revolution, and tragedy, whose repercussions still linger today. The fight for civil rights did not play out just in the Supreme Court or at the lunch counters of Nashville; forms of minority disenfranchisement manifested themselves in censorship at internment camps for Japanese Americans during World War II, in urban planning decisions in Atlanta, Georgia, and--striking close to home--in recruitment efforts on our own campus at Yale.
This issue reminds us that there is no single narrative which defines any moment in our past, that history is comprised of multiple chapters and passages, and that there are both hidden dramas to well-reported events and unheralded experiences yet to be told. It is our duty and privilege as editors to bring such stories to light.
The image on our cover demonstrates that history is often recorded in pictures as well as words. The photograph was taken in the aftermath of a savage fire that raged on 23rd Street in Manhattan on October 17, 1966, and which, as Emily Ullmann '14 so compellingly relates, killed dozens of firefighters in the biggest tragedy to hit the city's fire department up to that point. Thomas Dethlefs '12 writes about the transformation of tear gas from a weapon of war to a method of civilian riot control. Jacob Anbinder '14 exposes in meticulous detail the racial segregation created by the mapping of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), while Jasmine Zhuang '13 argues that Yale students in the 1970s should get more credit for pushing the University to open its doors to minority students.
The Sandinistas in Nicaragua developed a more meaningful relationship with the Catholic Church than revolutionaries in Cuba did under Castro, according to Connor Kenaston '14, who offers potential explanations behind this difference. Finally, Danny Serna '13 exposes the censorship imposed on an internee-run newspaper at the Manzanar War Relocation Camp in California, an experience that robbed Japanese Americans of their constitutional rights to freedom of speech during World War II.
The way we write history is the way we remember it. But the impact of that writing multiplies with the reading, retelling, and new perspectives gained from the process of historical inquiry. These essays demanded that their writers try to imagine the experiences of others from a new vantage point. We believe they require nothing less of you, our readers.
Sincerely, Noah Remnick, Ezra Stiles 2015 Annie Yi, Calhoun 2013 Editors in Chief Andrew Giambrone, Pierson 2014 Managing Editor
