Law Rep. 506 Framers of the Constitution considered slaves to be included within the phrase “We the People,” Chief Justice Taney, penned the following remarks in the Dred Scott case: We think they are not, ... [and] were not intended to be included.... .... They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order; and altogether unfit to associate with the white race ...; and so far inferior, that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. .... [A]ccordingly, a negro of the African race was regarded ... as an article of property, and held, and bought and sold as such.... *1046 Scott v.

The emancipation of the African American as property was accomplished at the conclusion of the Civil War with the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The prize of freedom was effectively denied however, by the enactment of the Black Codes whose intent was the continued subordination of Record citations will be abbreviated as follows: the newly freed slave.

  • In the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama
    ELECTRONICALLY FILED 3/18/2013 5:53 PM 03-CV-2013-900471.00 CIRCUIT COURT OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, ALABAMA TIFFANY B. MCCORD, CLERK IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, ALABAMA LYNN PETTWAY, * * Plaintiff, * v. * CV- 2013-_______ * DEL MARSH, CHAD FINCHER, * GERALD DIAL and JAY LOVE, * * Defendants. * * COMPLAINT COMES NOW the Plaintiff, Lynn Pettway, and for his Complaint states as follows: 1. This is an action for declaratory and injunctive relief under the Alabama Open Meetings Act, Title 36, Chapter 25A, Ala. Code 1975 regarding the "Alabama Accountability Act," House Bill 84 (hereinafter "HB84") from the 2013 Regular Session of the Alabama Legislature, now Act 2013-64, signed by Governor Bentley on March 14, 2013. This is also an action for a declaratory judgment pursuant to §6-6-222, Ala. Code 1975. 2. The Alabama Open Meetings Act is an enactment of the Legislature pursuant to Section 282, Ala. Const. 1901, to give effect to Section 57, Ala. Const. 1901 (requiring open meetings of the Legislature) and Section 53, Ala. Const. 1901 (giving the Legislature authority to enforce obedience to its rules of procedure). The Legislature created a judicial remedy for violations of this Act and bestowed jurisdiction over such violations, including violations by the Legislature itself, to this Court pursuant to §36-25A-9, Ala. Code 1975. 3. Because the adoption of the bill designated HB84 violated multiple provisions of the Open Meetings Act, Plaintiff has filed this action within 21 days of those violations, Defendants have acted intentionally and not as the result of mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect, and no third party has taken action or changed his or her position in good-faith reliance on HB84 having been lawfully adopted, this Court has jurisdiction under §36-25A-9(f) to invalidate the adoption of HB84, and thus the enactment of Act 2013-64.

It examines the career trajectories, rhetoric, and policy agendas of these congressmen in order to determine how effectively they represented the wants and needs of the black electorate. The dissertation argues that black congressmen effectively represented and articulated the interests of their constituents. They did so by embracing a policy agenda favoring strong civil rights protections and encompassing a broad vision of economic modernization and expanded access for education. Furthermore, black congressmen embraced their role as national leaders and as spokesmen not only for their congressional districts and states, but for all African Americans throughout the South.

Clark, co-chair Professor Anna M. Grzymala-Busse, co-chair Professor Robert J. Franzese, Jr. Professor Andrei S. Markovits Professor Robert W. Mickey i Acknowledgements Throughout the last six and a half years I have benefited enormously from the mentorship and friendship of my wonderful dissertation committee members: Bill Clark, Anna Grzymala-Busse, Andy Markovits, Rob Mickey and Rob Franzese. I assembled this committee before I even knew what I wanted to write about, and I made the right choices—I cannot imagine a more supportive, patient and insightful group of advisers. They gave me badly-needed discipline when I needed it (which was all the time) and oversaw numerous episodes of Schumpeterian “creative destruction.” They also gave me more ideas than I could ever hope to assimilate, ideas which will be providing me with directions for future research for many years to come. But these huge contributions are minor in comparison to the fact that they taught me how to think like a political scientist. I couldn’t ask for anything more. All of these papers had trial runs in various internal workshops and seminars at the University of Michigan, and I profited greatly from the structured feedback that I received from the Michigan political science community, faculty and grad students alike. Thanks to everyone who was a discussant for one of these papers—Zvi Gitelman, Chuck Shipan, Sana Jaffrey, Cassie Grafstrom (twice!), Ron Inglehart, Ken Kollman, Allison Dale, Pam Brandwein, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Rob Salmond and Jenna Bednar.

  • A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960
    A “Laboratory of Learning”: A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960 Sharon G. Pierson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Sharon G. Pierson All rights reserved ABSTRACT A “Laboratory of Learning”: A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960 Sharon G. Pierson In the first half of the twentieth century in the segregated South, Black laboratory schools began as “model,” “practice,” or “demonstration” schools that were at the heart of teacher training institutions at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Central to the core program, they were originally designed to develop college-ready students, demonstrate effective teaching practices, and provide practical application for student teachers. As part of a higher educational institution and under the supervision of a college or university president, a number of these schools evolved to “laboratory” high schools, playing a role in the development of African American education beyond their own local communities. As laboratories for learning, experimentation, and research, they participated in major cooperative studies and hosted workshops. They not only educated the pupils of the lab school and the student teachers from the institution, but also welcomed visitors from other high schools and colleges with a charge to influence Black education. A case study of Alabama State College Laboratory School, 1920-1960, demonstrates the evolution of a lab high school as part of the core program at an HBCU and its distinctive characteristics of high graduation and college enrollment rates, well-educated teaching staff, and a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum.

  • GEORGE WALLACE, SPEECH at SERB HALL (26 March 1976)
    Voices of Democracy 11 (2016): 44-70 Hogan 44 GEORGE WALLACE, SPEECH AT SERB HALL (26 March 1976) J. Michael Hogan The Pennsylvania State University Abstract This essay seeks to account for the persuasive appeal of George C. Wallace’s campaign rally addresses. The firebrand southern governor and perennial presidential candidate drew a large national following in the late 1960s and early 1970s with speeches that defied all the rules and norms of presidential politics. Yet they invoked passionate commitment within an especially disaffected segment of the American electorate. Utilizing survey date, this essay challenges the conventional portrait of Wallace and the Wallacites, demonstrating that Wallace’s appeal was rooted not so much in conservative politics as in feelings of political alienation, persecution, and pessimism. Accounting for the Wallace phenomenon in terms of a classic, Hofferian theory of social protest, the essay concludes by reflecting on the parallels between Wallace and Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential election. Keywords: George C. Wallace, presidential campaigns, campaign rallies, political disaffection, true believers. In 1964, George Wallace became a national figure when he launched his first campaign for the presidency with little money, no campaign organization, and an impressive array of critics and adversaries in the media, the churches, the labor movement, and the political mainstream.1 Surprising almost everybody, he showed remarkable strength in northern Democratic primaries and focused attention on his favorite target: the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1968, Wallace faced the same barriers and more. His decision to run as a third-party candidate added the challenge of a political system rigged to favor the two major-party candidates.2 Despite those obstacles, Wallace tallied 10 million votes—the most popular votes ever for a third party candidate in U.S.
