Likewise, praise is given to the persons who agreed to serve as participants in the workshop groups (bio- graphical sketches of the workshop chairmen and 1.erticipants follow each set of recommendations) and to those of the 250 who attended the 1969 Summer Conference who came as "observers" and emergedas "participants." Philip 0, Altbach, Associate Professor of Academic Policy Studies and Indian Studies at the University of Wisconsin, presented the Keynote Address. The text which appears in these proceedings is the preparedtext rather than a transcript of the extemporaneously delivered address. I should also like to express my thanks to Lillian D. Anthony, Director of the Department of Civil Rights for the City of Minneapolis, and other members of the black community in Minneapolis for the luncheonprogram which expressed "The Black Experience."I only wish that there were a way to transcribe the preaching, gospel singing, "chitlin test" and other examples of black rhetoric intoa meaningful written experience for the reader of these Proceedtnes. Each workshop was given the option of providing supplementary materials for the proceedings. Three essays represent views which supplement the report of the Field Studies group; the essays were prepared by Russell Jennings, Thomas Pace, and Dennis Winters. Bibliographies which follow individual sets of recommendations were prepared by the chairman or members of each group. Shortly after the Summer Conference, I receiveda letter from Roger Hits of the University of Oregon in which he indicated that he had been deluged with re- quests for "Racial RhetorictA Bibliography" which was mentioned in the Spring, 1969 Contemporary Public Address Newsletter., Likewise, I received "The Black Revo lution in Americas A Selected Bibliography" which was prepared by Patrick itenni- cott of the University of Maryland for his graduate course entitled "Persuasion in the Black Revolution." The two bibliographies complement one another and are pre" sented as supplements to the report of the Black Rhetoric Group. Jones E.

  • Garland's Million: the Radical Experiment To
    October 14, 2019 To: ABF Legal History Seminar From: John Fabian Witt Re: October 23 seminar Thanks so much for looking at my drafts and coming to my session! I’m thrilled to have been invited to Chicago. I am attaching chapters 5 and 8 from my book-in-progress, tentatively titled Garland’s Million: The Radical Experiment to Save American Democracy. The book is the story of an organization known informally as the Garland Fund or formally as the American Fund for Public Service: a philanthropic foundation established in 1922 to give money to liberal and left causes. The Fund figures prominently in the history of civil rights lawyering because of its role setting in motion the early stages of the NAACP’s litigation campaign that led a quarter-century later to Brown v. Board of Education. I hope you will be able to get some sense of the project from the crucial chapters I’ve attached here. These chapters come from Part 2 of the book. Part 1 focuses on Roger Baldwin, the founder of the ACLU and the principal energy behind the Fund. Part 2 (including the chapters here) focuses on James Weldon Johnson, who ran the NAACP during the 1920s and was a board member of the Fund. Parts 3 and 4 turn respectively to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (a labor radical on the board) and Felix Frankfurter, who in the 1920s served as a key outside consultant and counsel to the Fund. To set the stage, readers have learned in Part 1 about Baldwin as a disillusioned reformer, who advocated progressive programs like the initiative and referendum only to see direct democracy produce a wave of white supremacist initiatives.

Bland: The Collective Struggle for the Negro Rights: 1915-1940 THE COLLECTIVE STRUGGLE FOR NEGRO RIGHTS: 1915-1940 RANDALL WALTON BLAND* Following the Civil War, the newly-freed slave in the United States became disoriented and frustrated in a social structure not of his own making. The Negro, especially in the South, found himself in an en- vironment during the Reconstruction period almost as hostile as slavery. The Ku Klux Klan employed terror and violence to keep him in the lowest level of society. Southern land owners manipulated Negro workers in a peonage system that was little better than slavery itself, while "mobs drove Negro voters from the polls, and the lynch rope kept the Negro men from being men."' Deep concern over human dignity, self-preserva- tion, civil rights and true meaningful freedom led the American Negro to seek collective action.

  • The Negro and the Ownership of Property: an Examination of Naacp Strategy in the Restrictive Covenant Cases
    THE NEGRO AND THE OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY: AN EXAMINATION OF NAACP STRATEGY IN THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT CASES THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of Southwest Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement For the Degree of Master of Arts BY Michael Robert Heintze, B.A. (Austin, Texas) San Marcos, Texas AugU,st, 1974 This work is dedicated to my parents; Albert and Bernice Heintze. Their countless sacrifices helped make this study a reality. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the course of completing this study, I have accumulated a multitide of intellectual debts. However, during the nine months since I began to study the history of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Restriotive Covenant Cases, I have been guided and sustained by three individuals. First, I am deeply indebted to Dr. Everette Swinney. As the chair­ man of my thesis committee, Dr. Swinney's leadership, stimulation, and judgement have been a constant source of professional enrichment. without his thoughtful assis­ tance, this work would have been virtually impossible. I am also grateful for the clear, constructive advice of Dr. W. W. Anderson. I owe a partioular debt of gratitude to Dr. Randall W. Bland, who kindled my interest in con­ stitutional law and provided the impetus for this study. In addition, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Miss Jocelyn Koch for her patient and effi­ cient clerical assistance, which proved to be an in­ valuable asset throughout. Finally, to my wife, Cheryl, who has been frugal, kind, and a constant store of support, I want to say thank you for everything.

  • Great Migration Teaching Guide
    TEACHING WITH PRIMARY SOURCES Great Migration What inspired African Americans to leave their homes during the Great Migration? Historians often explain migration as some combination of “push-pull” factors. Oppressive conditions at home like poverty, government persecution, military conscription, high taxes, systemic racism or lack of opportunity might be sufficient to persuade people to seek better conditions elsewhere. Likewise, economic opportunity, religious and political freedom, family ties or a desire for adventure could induce some to pack their bags for a new location. End of Reconstruction, Rise of the Ku Klux Klan African Americans in the 50 years after the Civil War responded to both push and pull factors. At the end of Reconstruction and federal oversight of southern states, white majorities resumed control of the government and enacted laws severely discriminating against African Americans. They were denied the right to vote or to serve on juries. Extra-legal, racially-motivated organizations like the Ku Klux Klan terrorized African Americans with threats and incidents of lynchings and other forms of violence. Schools and public accommodations were strictly segregated, and any African American who protested or failed to obey the restrictions ran the risk of retribution, legal or otherwise. The U.S. Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the principle of “separate but equal” facilities, but the African-American institutions were never “equal.” African-American schools were in poor facilities with inadequate textbooks with poorly paid and prepared teachers. The Great Migration At the turn of the 20th Century, southern African Americans began moving North in larger numbers seeking a better living (pull) and leaving southern segregation (push).

  • Springfield Race Riot Reconnaissance Survey Springfield, Illinois | August 2019 Front Cover: a Burned Riot District, August 14, 1908
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Springfield Race Riot Reconnaissance Survey Springfield, Illinois | August 2019 Front cover: A burned riot district, August 14, 1908. Photo: Unidentified photographer. Back cover: East Madison Street, August 14, 1908. Photo: Unidentified photographer. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This reconnaissance survey is a preliminary resource assessment of a site near Madison Street and the 10th Street Rail Corridor in Springfield, Illinois, associated with the 1908 Springfield Race Riot. This survey examines the likelihood that the study area would meet the four established criteria for inclusion in the national park system: national significance, suitability, feasibility, and need for direct National Park Service (NPS) management. Conclusions provided in reconnaissance surveys do not determine whether a study area is eligible for inclusion in the national park system. If a reconnaissance survey finds that a study area is likely to meet the NPS criteria for inclusion, then a special resource study may be recommended. Special resource studies are more detailed reports that provide Congress with critical information used in the process of designating new units of the national park system. The study area examined in this reconnaissance survey contains the structural remains of five homes that were burned during the 1908 Springfield Race Riot. The resources were identified in 2014 by archeologists during phase II investigations for a Federal Railroad Administration project called the Carpenter Street Underpass Project. Following those investigations, the Federal Railroad Administration, along with the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office determined that the archeological site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under both criterion A (associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history) and criterion D (yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory).

  • The Lessons of the NAACP's 1930S Federal Anti-Lynching Campaign
    Learning to Lobby: The Lessons of the NAACP’s 1930s Federal Anti-Lynching Campaign Melissa Cooper Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies University of East Anglia School of Arts, Media, and American Studies May 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. ABSTRACT Why the NAACP pursued anti-lynching legislation with such vigour despite a decade of defeat in the Senate is the key research question this thesis considers. In doing so it analyses two aspects of the NAACP’s lobbying efforts during the 1930s: its attempts to push anti-lynching bills through Congress and its efforts to secure presidential endorsement for those bills. New insights on how the NAACP learned to lobby can be gleaned by considering the NAACP, Congress, and the President, as key influences on the anti- lynching campaign. This thesis analyses previously neglected primary source material to shed light on President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s influence on the anti-lynching campaign. Additionally, it interprets the anti-lynching campaign through a theoretical lens. It considers theories of lobbying in Congress, presidential power, and congressional obstruction to contextualise the institutions, politics, and politicians at play in the anti-lynching campaign. Despite no anti-lynching legislation ever being passed, both Congress and the executive branch had a profound effect upon the NAACP’s political education.
