  • Searching for a New Freedom
    searching for a newA freedom Companion to African American History499 Edited by Alton Hornsby, Jr Copyright © 2005 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd Chapter Twenty-nine Searching for a New Freedom HASAN KWAME JEFFRIES In the immediate aftermath of emancipation, the lives of former bondsmen and bondswomen failed to meet their basic expectations. Quite simply, their lives too closely resembled the status quo antebellum. Indeed, African Americans remained landless, lacked ownership of the fruits of their labor, lost the vote (through elec- toral fraud and discriminatory changes to state constitutions) shortly after they had received it, and were subject to vicious, vulgar, and random acts of racial terrorism as a result of the federal government being more interested in protecting the southern economy than in protecting black folk. In response, African Americans organized to implement their vision of freedom, which differed substantially from that of white southerners and white northerners. By agitating for their civil and human rights, especially for good-quality education, political participation, personal safety, and control of their own labor, the former slaves launched the fight for racial justice that continues to this day (Harding 1981). The most important link in this intergenerational struggle is the modern Civil Rights Movement. It represents the most highly organized manifestation of African Americans’ post-emancipation search for a new freedom and, if measured narrowly in legislative terms, the most successful. Popular interest in the Civil Rights Movement has swelled during the last two decades. Evidence of this trend is the surge in the number of feature-length films that explore aspects and events of the civil rights era, such as Freedom Song and Boycott.

  • Racial Oppression Against African American Slaves in Harriette Gillem Robinet’S Forty Acres and Maybe a Mule
    Allusion, Volume 06 No 01 February 2017, 31-38 Racial Oppression against African American Slaves in Harriette Gillem Robinet’s Forty Acres and Maybe a Mule Ovriza Dien Kartika Titien Diah Soelistyarini English Department, Universitas Airlangga Abstract Children’s literature does not only play an important role in educating young readers but also raising racial awareness. A novel entitled Forty Acres and Maybe a Mule by Harriette Gillem Robinet raises an issue of racial oppression experienced by African American characters. Portrayed as a young boy growing up in slavery era and Reconstruction, Pascal, along with other black characters in the novel had to deal with racial oppression from the white. Thus, this study aimed at examining how racial oppression was presented in the novel by applying African American Criticism. Specifically, the six features of Feagin’s Systemic Racism were applied in order to explain how systemic racism worked and relateed to white economic domination in the novel. This study showed how Pascal and other black characters experienced many kinds of racial oppression that led to stereotype, prejudice, and marginalization that further reinforced the roles of the white as powerful oppressor and the black as the oppressed. Keywords: African American, racial oppression, racism, slavery, systemic racism 1. Introduction African Americans cannot be separated from the history of slavery in America. As slaves, they received terrible treatments and had to struggle for freedom. For more than two centuries, they had been enslaved in order to produce millions of white’s wealth (Feagin 2006, xi). The exploitation of African Americans as slaves was based on the ideology that was very harmful for black people.

Is slavery a part of our nation's experience, now safely buried in the deep past, or are its echoes too loud to ignore?

Topics: Republican Party in South Carolina and Mr. Boineau’s role in the early Republican movement Transcribers: Andrew Daniels and Phil Warf, August 1995 South Carolina Political Collections Oral History Project Boineau Interview, Page 3 [Tape 1, April 6, 1995, Begins] Woods: Why don't we begin simply by a brief biographical background, your family history? Now I understand that you were born in Columbia, South Carolina, to Charles and Bessie Trippett Boineau. Could you describe your early life and childhood? Boineau: My father was in the brokerage and storage business here in Columbia and in 1931, went out on his own and started Boineau's Moving and Storage. We were living in Columbia at that time, until my mother, Bessie Trippett Boineau, was asked by her mother, my maternal grandmother, to move to Boykin, which was outside of Camden, to help save the plantation which my grandmother had inherited. It was [located] part in Kershaw County and part in Sumter County. Woods: Was that the Midfield...? Boineau: Midfield's Plantation, right. It was quite an undertaking and my mother had no knowledge of farming, but when Mamma, as we called...she was Bessie Cash Irby. Incidentally, my grandmother was the daughter of Colonel Ellerbee Bogan Crawford Cash, who fought the last legal duel in South Carolina. I often joke that since Colonel Cash was successful and was the winner of the duel, I was around to be the first Republican.
