He worked through the civil-rights era, beginning in Texas when public drinking foun- tains were marked W, C, or LA (white, colored, or Latin Ameri- can). He went to Virginia when people were proudly proclaim- ing they had changed the pro- nunciation of "n-i-g-r-a" to "knee-grow." And he pushed for a fair-housing law in 1964 De- troit that was overwhelmingly defeated by the voters. (It nar- rowly passed the following year.) When Mr. Lobenthal took the Detroit job, the ADL was not highly thought of here. Upon ar- riving, he worked with Ann Ar- bor police and University of Michigan officials before a cam- pus speech of George Lincoln Rockwell, head of the American Nazi Party. As former head of the Richmond office, Mr. Loben- thal was ADL's national expert on Mr. Rockwell. The following day, Mr. Loben- thal went to his first Jewish Community Council meeting. The group discussed the Rock- well appearance, but no one else at the meeting had attended the Democracy, Abortion, Kevorkian, Religion ALAN HITSKY ASSOCIATE EDITOR I he ongoing battle for democracy in the United States is Dick Loben- thal's biggest concern. He sees anti-democratic forces, like the religious right and the John Birch Society, as the ideological movers away from a free society in this coun- trY- "They want to defeat mis- chievous forces in this country," he said, but will take away free- doms to achieve that goal. "The black response to the O.J. Simpson verdict and the white response to Pat Buchanan," he says, "were the same: We're not going to put up with this mess. "Technology and the popula- tion size of this country have so changed that the concepts that have undergirded democracy have changed. We've gone from a nation of 17 million to a na- tion of nearly 300 million, and the government is no longer ef- ficient. This trend has led to a growing number of extremists and a growing dissatisfaction among non-extremists." He said the biggest battles in his 37 years with the Anti- event. Mr. Lobenthal offered to give a report, but was ruled out of order. "We don't listen to ADL here," he was told. He is proud that perception of ADL has changed, but so have civil rights and the climate of democracy. "Prejudice today? It's a given that it's undesirable," he said. "Thirty-five years ago, it wasn't clear that it was undesirable. But that doesn't mean there is no prejudice today. "Now, we talk about how much cultural diversity is ap- propriate. Thirty-five years ago, we had to beg to even discuss it. We used to joke at ADL that Brotherhood Week meant that for 51 weeks 'I'm going to kick your a—, and then for one week during the year I'll pretend I won't do it.' " Before the national civil-rights legislation of the 1960s, moral and financial arguments were used to desegregate. Mr. Loben- thal helped Corpus Christi, Texas, integrate its schools. The most impelling reason, he said, was that the black high school's football quarterback could lead Defamation League have been the most pervasive: "cyclical movements that come back dressed in other clothing." He equates the John Birch Society of the 1970s with the re- ligious right of the 1990s. "Some of the people are the same," he says, "and the issues are the same — distrust, supremacy (I'll teach you how to live) and frus- tration with the complexities of modern life." In the '70s, according to Mr. Lobenthal, the John Birch So- ciety blamed these problems on communism. In the '90s, the re- ligious right says godlessness is the culprit. "We are given sim- plistic answers, and we are told that 'we will impose law ac- cording to our religion. We will outlaw things that my religion does not like.' "The abortion debate," he says, "centers around the reli- gious definition of life. The Jew- ish definition says life begins at birth or, really, a little after birth. The fundamentalist Christians say life begins at con- ception. And the Chinese say life begins before conception." He argues that fundamen- talist Christians are preaching that the U.S. Constitution vio- lates the Christian Bible. Rabbis, he says, struggle with the appropriateness of assisted suicide. But Oakland County Prosecutor Richard Thompson, according to Mr. Lobenthal, says his religion requires him to prosecute Dr. Jack Kevorkian for assisting suicides.
