Philip Reiss is a retired S.U.N.Y. community college history professor. Prior to attending Temple University in 1959, he served in the Air Force as a munitions handling and loading specialist. History courses he taught usually reflected the Howard Zinn interpretive orientation. His book "Blue Eyes On African-American History" presents some of his students' responses to various facts previously neglected in secondary education level presentations of American history, especially the African-American experience in the first seven decades of the Twentieth Century. He agrees with the assertion our political process is rigged in favor of Wall Street interests having the last word in determining the direction American public policy takes in domestic and foreign affairs.
