  • The African-American Freedom Movement Through the Lens of Gandhian Nonviolence
    The African-American Freedom Movement Through the Lens of Gandhian Nonviolence Chris Moore-Backman May 2011 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Self-Designed Masters Degree Program Lesley University Specialization: Nonviolence and Social Change FREEDOM MOVEMENT THROUGH GANDHIAN LENS i Abstract This thesis explores the meaning and application of the three definitive aspects of the Gandhian approach to nonviolence—personal transformation, constructive program (work of social uplift and renewal), and political action, then details the African-American Freedom Movement’s unique expression of and experimentation within those three spheres. Drawing on an in-depth review of historical, theoretical, and biographical literature, and an interview series with six living contemporaries of Martin Luther King Jr., the study highlights key similarities between the nonviolence philosophies and leadership of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as similarities between the movements of which these leaders were a part. Significant differences are also noted, such as the African-American Freedom Movement’s relative lack of focused and systematized implementation of a constructive program along Gandhian lines. The study illustrates the degree to which the African-American Freedom Movement manifested Gandhian principles and practices, while also suggesting that contemporary nonviolence practitioners can identify ways in which the Gandhian approach can be more fully adopted.

Jefferson St. The civil rights movement brought forth many heroes such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Rosa Parks, whose fame can be directly attributed to their commitment to the cause. However, they were not the only people who answered the call to stand and fight for equality and justice. Most of us have not heard of Fannie Lou Hamer, Annie Devine, Unita Blackwell, Mae Bertha Carter or Victoria Gray Adams. But without the efforts of these fearless women, the civil rights movement in Mississippi would not have been possible. The film reveals the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the 1950s and 60s from the perspective of the courageous women who lived it and emerged as its grassroots leaders. These women stood up and fought for the right to vote and for equal education. After the viewing, Ms. Dawn Strobert and Ms. Carolyn Bristo Chatman of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority’s Phoenix Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter will lead a discussion of the film. They will serve as our guides as we explore the lives of these unsung heroes. This brown bag promotes the value of diversity and creates opportunities for positive exchange among diverse groups.
