It is all of us who believe in it - who absent or present, work in it and wish it well. Its constituency is the living and dead, and from them the college enjoys an unrestrained loyalty and willing service. It is an exponent of trust which sweeps aside the petty jealousies of men and all propagandic proposals which would minimize or depreciate personality. It is an institution containing faults and defects which challenge the constructive efforts of students, teachers, officers, and graduates. It is incomplete and desires to remain so, to be in an advantageous position for changing life situations. What is West Virginia State College? It is spirit; it cannot be touched by hand; it is based upon communions between the living and those who though dead yet live in an immortality made practical through enlistment in the college program, which of necessity requires eternity for completion. What is the college? You and those graduates ahead of you are the college. John W. Davis Fifth President, WVSC-1932 Historical Sketch of West Virginia State University The second Morrill Act of 1890 was intended to make training in agriculture and mechanical arts available to black citizens. Like other states that maintained segregated educational systems, West Virginia responded on March 17, 1891 by enacting legislation to create a special land-grant institution for blacks.

  • Stepping Into Selma: Voting Rights History and Legacy Today
    Stepping Into Selma: Voting Rights History and Legacy Today Background In this 50th anniversary year of the Selma-to-Montgomery March and the Voting Rights Act it helped inspire, national media will predictably focus on the iconic images of “Bloody Sunday,” the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the interracial marchers, and President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act. This version of history, emphasizing a top-down narrative and isolated events, reinforces the master narrative that civil rights activists describe as “Rosa sat down, Martin stood up, and the white folks came south to save the day.” But there is a “people’s history” of Selma that we all can learn from—one that is needed, especially now. The exclusion of Blacks and other people of color from voting is still a live issue. Sheriff’s deputies may no longer be beating people to keep them from registering to vote, but institutionalized racism continues. For example, in 2013 the Supreme Court ruled in Shelby v. Holder that the Justice Department may no longer evaluate laws passed in the former Confederacy for racial bias. And as a new movement emerges, insisting that “Black Lives Matter,” young people can draw inspiration and wisdom from the courage, imagination, and accomplishments of activists who went before. [From article by Emilye Crosby.] This lesson on the people in Selma’s voting rights movement is based on an effective format that has been used with students and teachers to introduce a variety of themes including the history and literature of Central America, the U.S.

  • Selma Civil Rights Movement
    50 Landmarks for a 50th Anniversary The Selma Civil Rights Trail 50 LANDMARKS FOR A 50TH ANNIVERSARY In the summer of 1965, Congress passed and President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, one of the most momentous civil rights laws in American history. Events that had happened in Selma earlier that year pushed Congress to create this landmark law. African American citizens took courageous actions that not only changed their lives and communities but that also reshaped the United States, giving all citizens a new taste of freedom and equality. This driving tour of landmarks associated with Selma’s Civil Rights Movement includes 50 properties—some well recognized from the events of 50 years ago but many others that speak to the deeper story of the struggle for civil rights. All of these places help tell the whole story of what the Civil Rights Movement meant to Selma, to Alabama, and to the nation. Many places welcome visitors but others remain private. Visitors should respect property rights and only view those buildings from the city sidewalks. 1. National Voting Rights Museum and Institute 6 U.S. Highway 80 www.nvrmi.com Open daily from Monday to Thursday and on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday by appointment. Admission charged. This museum focuses on the stories, people, and events of the 1960s and the conflicts such as Bloody Sunday on the adjacent Edmund Pettus Bridge and the resulting Selma-to-Montgomery March. 2. Selma-to-Montgomery March Memorials 5 U.S. Highway 80 On the north side of the highway across from the National Voting Rights Museum are interpretive markers and commemorative sculptures about the Selma-to- Montgomery March and leaders such as John Lewis, Hosea Williams, Amelia Boynton Robinson, and Marie Foster.

This version of history, emphasizing a top-down narrative and isolated events, reinforces the master narrative that civil rights activists describe as "Rosa sat down, Martin stood up, and the white folks came south to save the day." Today, issues of racial equity and voting rights are front and center in the lives of young people. There is much they can learn from an accurate telling of the Selma (Dallas County) voting rights campaign and the larger Civil Rights Movement.

  • Stepping Into Selma Voting Rights History and Legacy Today by Deborah Menkart
    LESSON Stepping into Selma Voting Rights History and Legacy Today By Deborah Menkart This lesson on the voting rights movement in Selma is based on an effective format that has been used with students and teachers to introduce a variety of themes including the history and literature of Central America, the U.S. Mexico War, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, women in the Civil Rights Movement, and more. The lesson is not intended to provide an in-depth history. Instead, it invites students to step into the history, introducing them to people, turning points, and issues. The lesson format provides students the scaffolding for deeper study and is often used as a prereading or pre-film-viewing activity. If used in advance of viewing the film Selma, it can help students recognize and understand more of the people and issues that are referenced.

THE NASHVILLE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT: A STUDY OF THE PHENOMENON OF INTENTIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR LOCAL MOVEMENTS AND THE NATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY by BARRY EVERETT LEE Under the Direction of Jacqueline A. Rouse ABSTRACT The Nashville Civil Rights Movement was one of the most dynamic local movements of the early 1960s, producing the most capable student leaders of the period 1960 to 1965. Despite such a feat, the historical record has largely overlooked this phenomenon. What circumstances allowed Nashville to produce such a dynamic movement whose youth leadership of John Lewis, Diane Nash, Bernard LaFayette, and James Bevel had no parallel? How was this small cadre able to influence movement developments on local and a national level? In order to address these critical research questions, standard historical methods of inquiry will be employed.
