McGlennon, John Oral History, 2024

In the following oral history, John McGlennon, a Professor in Government at the College of William & Mary and member of the Board of Supervisors of James City County, Virginia, discusses his interest in politics as a youth, his education and activities at Fordham University and Johns Hopkins University, and his participation in the Democratic Party in Williamsburg, Virginia. McGlennon explains how his New York childhood and background as a first-generation college student sparked his initial interest in politics, particularly in the Kennedy presidency. His increasing dissatisfaction with the Johnson presidency led McGlennon to become involved in the high school and college newspapers, which instilled a belief in the consequence of journalism and academia as avenues for influencing politics. McGlennon describes his impressions of the First Congressional District of Virginia upon arriving in Williamsburg in 1974, detailing his rise through the local Democratic Party from 1978 to 1981. Finally, he outlines his 1982 strategy to campaign against then-State Senator Herb Bateman in the general election for the First Congressional District of Virginia, including how he solicited PAC funds, participated in candidate-on-candidate debates, and the role of abortion in determining the final vote outcome. Williamsburg Documentary Project student Caleb Fulford conducted the interview on April 2, 2024, at 9:00 am with an Amcrest USB Microphone. Fulford and indexer Seth Novak reference the class assignment involving the interview in AMST 410: Williamsburg Documentary Project, taught by Professor Michelle Lelièvre.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
