Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • Meet Me at the Flagpole: Thoughts About Houston’S Legacy of Obscurity and Silence in the Fight of Segregation and Civil Right Struggles
    Meet Me at the Flagpole: Thoughts about Houston’s Legacy of Obscurity and Silence in the fight of Segregation and Civil Right Struggles Bernardo Pohl Abstract This article focuses on the segregated history and civil right movement of Houston, using it as a case study to explore more meaningfully the teaching of this particular chapter in American history. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I remember the day very clearly. It was an evening at Cullen Auditorium at Uni- versity of Houston. It was during the fall of 2002, and it was the end of my student teach- ing. Engulfed in sadness, I sat alone and away from my friends. For me, it was the end of an awesome semester of unforgettable moments and the start of my new teaching career. I was not really aware of the surroundings; I did not have a clue about what I was about to experience. After all, I just said yes and agreed to another invitation made by Dr. Cam- eron White, my mentor and professor. I did not have any idea about the play or the story that it was about to start. The word “Camp Logan” did not evoke any sense of familiarity in me; it did not resonate in my memory. Besides, my mind was somewhere else: it was in the classroom that I left that morning; it was in the goodbye party that my students prepared for me; and it was in the uncertain future that was ahead of me.

    Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts 2014, vol. XVI ISSN 1641-9278 Aneta Pawłowska Department of Art History, University of Łódź [email protected] THE AMBIVALENCE OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN1 CULTURE. THE NEW NEGRO ART IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD Abstract: Reflecting on the issue of marginalization in art, it is difficult not to remember of the controversy which surrounds African-American Art. In the colonial period and during the formation of the American national identity this art was discarded along with the entire African cultural legacy and it has emerged as an important issue only at the dawn of the twentieth century, along with the European fashion for “Black Africa,” complemented by the fascination with jazz in the United States of America. The first time that African-American artists as a group became central to American visual art and literature was during what is now called the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s. Another name for the Harlem Renaissance was the New Negro Movement, adopting the term “New Negro”, coined in 1925 by Alain Leroy Locke. These terms conveyed the belief that African-Americans could now cast off their heritage of servitude and define for themselves what it meant to be an African- American. The Harlem Renaissance saw a veritable explosion of creative activity from the African-Americans in many fields, including art, literature, and philosophy. The leading black artists in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940 were Archibald Motley, Palmer Hayden, Aaron Douglas, Hale Aspacio Woodruff, and James Van Der Zee. Keywords: African-American – “New Negro” – “Harlem Renaissance” – Photography – “African Art” – Murals – 20th century – Painting.

Yet these activities are frequently overlooked in the curricula of the nation's colleges and universities, or mistakenly por­ trayed as the exclusive province of elites. To address this, the Center for the Study of Philanthropy at the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York is developing a variety of materials to illuminate the significance of philanthropic activities at every level of society. A series of curriculum guides is one ofseveral resources designed to encourage the development ofundergraduate, graduate and extension courses on multicultural philanthropy. These materials reflect a variety of disciplinary approaches, examining the ways in which eleven different (but not necessarily mutually exclusive) groups-women, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, African Americans, Latinos, Northern Europeans, Southern and Eastern Europeans, Middle-Easterners, South and Southeast Asians, and East Asians-historically used their gifts of time and

Amid said reflection, a desire to reanalyze periods from a less observed lens is quite common. This revisionist process critically ensures that historians continue to build a more holistic understanding of what the people, as well as the events of the time, were. However, this revisionist process is particularly important for the history of disenfranchised communities, such as descendants of the African diaspora. The popularized Winston Churchill quote, “history is written by the victors,” demonstrates how the telling of history is naturally vulnerable; that vulnerability exponentially increases for oppressed communities.

    RACE AND RELIGION IN THE BAYOU CITY: LATINO/A, AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND ANGLO BAPTISTS IN HOUSTON’S LONG CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT A Dissertation by DAVID JEFFREY CAMERON Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Felipe Hinojosa Committee Members, Carlos Blanton Angela Pulley Hudson April Hatfield Joseph Jewell Head of Department, David Vaught August 2017 Major Subject: History Copyright 2017 David Jeffrey Cameron ABSTRACT While studies that examine religion in movements for social justice have increased in recent years, the intersections of race and religion remain understudied. Therefore, this dissertation is a relational and comparative study of Mexican American, African American, and Anglo Baptists in the Houston area as they engaged the struggle for civil rights through religious associations, churches, and leaders. It demonstrates that race and religion in Houston’s long civil rights movements produced changes in two directions: religion influenced Baptists’ involvement with the movements, and the movement itself influenced Baptists’ religious lives. I argue that from the 1910s through the 1970s, religion played a central role in Baptist efforts to both uphold and challenge the color line in Houston.
