Not because of the accomplishments that I have made but for the gratitude of the process in which I had to go through and for the people that stood beside me. The people that prayed me through, listened to my rants, challenged me and encouraged me. I am here because of my ancestors who have walked before me, for the shoulders I stand upon and for the scholars/activists to come behind me. This moment imagined, dreamt, envisioned and now realized! I am humbled! I am grateful! I have so many people that I would like to thank for helping me through this process. I would first like to thank the four incredible women who shared their stories with me. You each shared a piece of your soul with me and I am forever indebted to you. Thank you to my committee members for supporting me throughout this process. I am grateful for the role that each of you played in my development personally and professionally.

From picking me up from the bus station, driving me around the city during my trips to Knoxville to helping me prepare for my defense, you are a gem and I appreciate you so much. To the late Dr. LaShawn Bacon, thank you for living your life fearlessly, going after your dreams, and being that example for me to follow.

I investigate general aspects of their experiences of being Black, female, students and activists within the context of their communities and educational institutions. My research questions are: 1) What were/are the cultural and historical factors that drove/drive each woman to activism? 2) How did/have women develop(ed) ways of knowing about self and community through activism and education? 3) How do Civil Rights activists (1960-1966) and contemporary activists (2002-2012) characterize one another? Specifically, this study utilizes structured narrative analysis to organize and present the stories of Black female student activists. Then I use Black feminist theory as an analytical lens to articulate how Black women develop ways of knowing self, community and society.

The series, in turn, is part of a larger, ongoing project investigatingthe role of race, lawyers, and ethics in the American criminal-justice system. The purpose of the project is to understand the race-based, identity-making norms and practices of prosecutors and defenders in order to craft alternative civil- rights and criminal-justicestrategies in cases of racially-motivatedviolence. To that end, this Article revisits the prosecution and defense of theJena Six in the hope of uncovering the professional norms of practice under de jure and defacto conditions of racialsegregation, a set of norms I callJim Crow legal ethics.

During the last six years the civil rights movement of the 1950-60s has proved to be one of the most popular areas of research, particularly among undergraduates and sixth-form students. The enquiries have covered many different aspects of the movement: school desegregation, bus boycotts, sit-ins, marches, the involvement of white northern college students, the actions of individuals such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the reactions of white southerners and the federal government. This guide will facilitate research on these topics and many others.

Please start out by telling me your name and how many years you’ve been doing hair. NB: I’m Nzinga Bey and I’ve been in the hair-care business for over fifteen years. I started at Lincoln University, I had to pay for my books and I wore a real short haircut, so I started to twist my hair myself and people started to ask, “Could you do my hair like that?” And I said, “Sure. Ten dollars?” And they’d say, “Okay, no problem.” I’d say (to myself) that’s one book. So then it started to move on and on and I decided that I wanted to do something with holistic healing. Anyone that was sick on campus with anything like a cold or menstrual cramps I was able to use home remedies so I started to sell different herbs to help heal people. So with twisting hair, that’s where I started to mix it all together and I said, I’m going to be a hair specialist.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CIVIL RIGHTS PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION AT HIGH MUSEUM OF ART TO COMMEMORATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF 1968 Featuring iconic historical images and contemporary works honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement ATLANTA, Sept. 18, 2017 – Taking its title from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s final speech before his assassination in 1968, the High Museum of Art’s photography exhibition “‘A Fire That No Water Could Put Out’: Civil Rights Photography” (Nov. 4, 2017, through May 27, 2018) will reflect on the 50th anniversary of that tumultuous year in American history. The more than 40 prints to be featured are drawn in large part from the Museum’s collection of photography documenting the civil rights movement, which is among the most significant in the world. Iconic historical images will be presented alongside works by contemporary photographers that illuminate the legacy of the movement. “While Dr. King’s assassination is often cited as the closing bookend of the civil rights movement, activism over the past 50 years has continued efforts to advance racial equality and justice in the United States,” said Erin Nelson, the High’s curatorial assistant for photography and curator of the exhibition. “Through some of the most powerful images from our civil rights collection, including recent acquisitions, this exhibition underscores photography’s pivotal role in chronicling the important moments that shaped our past and the current events and perspectives that will influence our future.” Presented in the High’s Lucinda Weil Bunnen Gallery for Photography, the exhibition will be arranged into three sections that explore the era of Dr.
