1936 -- Dave Van Ronk lives. American songster. Unfortunately better known for nurturing & helping Bob Dylan get his music career off the ground than for his own music.Far more than one of the founding figures of the 1960s, Dave Van Ronk (1936-2002) was also ’among other things’ a pioneer of modern acoustic blues, a fine songwriter & arranger, a powerful singer, & one of the most influential guitarists of the 60s, as well as a peerless musical historian & storyteller. "The Man" (Tom Paxton) was in the mix with Bob Dylan (who slept on Van Ronk's couch for his first year in NY), Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, & Joni Mitchell, as well as older luminaries Woody Guthrie & Odetta.
"In the engine room of the NY Folk Scene shoveling coal into the furnace, one Big Man rules. Dog-faced roustabout songster. Bluesman, Dave Van Ronk.
Long may he howl."
— Tom Waits
"Of course I was aware of the folk music thing in Washington Square. I had been hanging around the village for a few years by this time, & the sight & sound of happily howling Stalinists offended my assiduously nurtured self-image as a hipster, not to mention my political sensibilities, which were at the time vehemently I.W.W.-.anarchist."
In 1959, Dick Ellington & Dave Van Ronk wrote & self-published THE BOSS'S SONGBOOK, the subtitle of which was Songs To Stifle the Flames of Discontent. It was supposed to be a humorous collection, consciously modeled on the IWW Little Red Songbook.
Dick had a Multilith 1250 & did some movement printing in New York City during the 1950s, including VIEWS & COMMENTS, which was published by the Libertarian League. It was either a weekly or biweekly paper edited by Sam Dolgoff & Russell Blackwell.— Robby Barnes, Charlatan Stew

1952 -- Let Freedom Ring?: Congress passes McCarran-Walter Immigration Act, to screen out "subversive" aliens & deport them, even if they have become US citizens.

This immigration act strengthened provisions allowing exclusion of immigrants on grounds of insanity, disease, pauperism, crime record or political activity, & made exclusion of anarchists & communists easier. It attacked people merely on account of speech or association, even if there is no evidence they might act violently or illegally.
Harry Truman noted "The idea behind this discriminatory policy is, to put it baldly, that Americans with English or Irish names were better citizens than Americans with Italian, Greek, or Polish names..." — while in fact it was motivated more toward excluding non-whites in this aspect.http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/mccarran-act-intro.html
