  • Robert F. Williams, Negroes with Guns, Ch. 3-5, 1962
    National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox The Making of African American Identity: Vol. III, 1917-1968 Robert F. Williams R. C. Cohen Negroes With Guns *1962, Ch. 3-5 Robert F. Williams was born and raised in Monroe, North Carolina. After serving in the Marine Cops in the 1950s, he returned to Monroe and in 1956 assumed leadership of the nearly defunct local NAACP chapter; within six months its membership grew from six to two-hundred. Many of the new members were, like him, military veterans trained in the use of arms. In the late 1950s the unwillingness of Southern officials to address white violence against blacks made it increasingly difficult for the NAACP to keep all of its local chapters committed to non-violence. In 1959, after three white men were acquitted of assaulting black women in Monroe, Williams publicly proclaimed the right of African Americans to armed self-defense. The torrent of criticism this statement brought down on the NAACP prompted its leaders — including Thurgood Marshall, Roy Wilkins, and Martin Luther King, Jr. — to denounce Williams. The NAACP eventually suspended him, but he continued to make his case for self-defense. Williams in Tanzania, 1968 Chapter 3: The Struggle for Militancy in the NAACP Until my statement hit the national newspapers the national office of the NAACP had paid little attention to us. We had received little help from them in our struggles and our hour of need. Now they lost no time. The very next morning I received a long distance telephone call from the national office wanting to know if I had been quoted correctly.

  • Mae Mallory Papers
    THE MAE MALLORY COLLECTION Papers, 1961-1967 (Predominantly, 1962-1963) 1 linear foot Accession Number 955 L.C. Number The papers of Mae Mallory were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in January of 1978 by General Baker and were opened for research in December of 1979. Mae Mallory (also known as Willie Mae Mallory) was born in Macon, Georgia on June 9, 1927. She later went to live in New York City with her mother in 1939. She became active in the black civil rights movement and was secretary of the organization, Crusaders for Freedom. She was closely associated with the ultra-militant leader of the NAACP chapter in Monroe, North Carolina, Robert F. Williams, who advocated that blacks arm them- selves in order to defend their rights. In 1961 she, Williams and others were charged with kidnap pong a white couple during a racial disturbance in Monroe. She fled to Cleveland, Ohio, to avoid arrest, but was imprisoned from 1962 to 1964 in the Cuyahoga County Jail to await extradition to North Carolina to face trial. Williams, who, like Mallory, protested his innocence of the charges, fled via Canada to Cuba and later China. In 1964 she was returned to Monroe, stood trial, and was convicted. She appealed the sentence, and in the following year the North Carolina Supreme Court dismissed the case because blacks had been excluded from the grand jury. The material in this collection reflects Mallory's participation in the civil rights movement and documents her period of imprisonment. Important subjects covered in the collection are: Black activism (1960's) Civil rights movement Monroe Defense Committee Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM) Robert F.

  • Rfwe Must Die: Anned Self-Defense During the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1967 by Martin Palomo November 25,2018 History 91: Seni
    rfWe Must Die: Anned Self-Defense during the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1967 by Martin Palomo November 25,2018 History 91: Senior Thesis Palomo 1 Abstract This paper looks over the Civil Rights Movement between 1954 and 1967 and analyzes the role that armed self-defense played during this period. By looking at the violence that erupted following the 1954 Brown v. Board ofEducation Supreme Court Case, it becomes evident that African Americans, both men and women, used arms to protect their communities while simultaneously challenging Jim Crow through nonviolent civil disobedience. By the mid-1960s, armed self-defense groups, which had typically been small and informal, began to evolve into more organized paramilitary groups that defended nonviolent protesters and openly challenged white violence. Palomo 2 Introduction On January 30, 1956, the home of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. in Montgomery, Alabama had been bombed. Following this terrorist attack on his home, Dr. King applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon at the sheriff's office. Although he had been denied the permit, Dr. King still kept fIrearms in his home. During his fIrst visit to King's home, journalist William Worth almost sat on two pistols while attempting to rest in an armchair. Accompanied by nonviolent activist Bayard Rustin, Worth was warned about the pistols on the chair. "Bill, wait, wait! Couple of guns on that chair! You don't want to shoot yourself." After nearly witnessing Worth shoot himself, Rustin questioned Dr. King on his possession of the two fIrearms. Dr. King succinctly responded: "Just for self-defense." This episode of armed self-defense was not an isolated event.

  • AUGUST 30, 2020 Happy Birthday
    THIS WEEK IN BLACK HISTORY Mae Mallory Mae Mallory was an activist and freedom fighter who was at the forefront of some of the civil rights movement’s major events. Mallory was a founder of the Harlem Nine who railed against New York’s segregated school system and was a supporter of Black radical Robert F. Williams. Born June 9, 1927 in Macon, Georgia, Mallory moved to New York with her mother at the age of 12. In 1956, she became the founder and spokesperson for the Harlem Nine, a group of Black mothers who were critical of the poor conditions of Black schools and called for school integration. The Nine faced several legal hurdles, despite the federal ruling of “Brown v. Board of Education” and several attempts to jail them eventually failed. The efforts of the Nine included a successful lawsuit in 1960 which allowed thousands of parents to transfer their children to racially integrated schools. This came after help from the local NAACP and a 162-day boycott prior with leaders like Ella Baker and Adam Clayton Powell. Many of the first so-called “freedom schools” of the civil rights era were established as a result of the Nine’s work on the ground. 1959, Williams, who was also the leader of the Monroe, N.C. NAACP, befriended Mallory after a visit to New York. Mallory was taken with Williams’ message of self-defense and self-reliance and organized a group of supporters. By 1961, Mallory was aligned with Williams but they were met with resistance from white locals who feared a revolution.
