    Poet Sister Artist Comrade: in Celebration of Thulani Davis

    Poet Sister Artist Comrade: In Celebration of Thulani Davis Jessica Hagedorn: "It was a freaky-deaky time, in a freaky-deaky city..." By Jessica Hagedorn December 8, 2020 Thulani Davis has been my poet sister artist comrade for nearly 50 years. We met in San Francisco one night in either 1971 or 1972—young poets with flash and sass, opinionated and full of ourselves. We were reading at the Western Addition Cultural Center with several other poets, fiery types like Roberto Vargas, Serafin Syquia, Miz Redbone, maybe even Avotcja and Marvin X. Buriel Clay, a local writer and community activist, had organized the program and brought us all together. I was new at doing readings and didn’t know anyone there. I remember being nervous and excited. There wasn’t much of an audience, but being a part of this dynamic group felt like a very big deal. Dim lights. A podium, a mic, rickety folding chairs. Thulani was one of the last to read. The quiet, incantatory power of her voice and the bravado of her poem got me. I am Brown I am a child of the third world my hair black n long my soul slavetraded n nappy yellow brown-Safronia in this world, illegitimate seed… On her way out the door that night, Thulani made a cryptic comment about the tattered, patched-up jeans I had on. Whatever she said made me laugh. We became friends—hung out at her place on Oak Street, smoked Kools and Gitanes, and talked. Talk, talk, and more talk. We were curious and passionate about everything, from Jimi Hendrix to Anna May Wong to Jean- Luc Godard and Tennessee Williams.

    SITES OF INSTRUCTION: EDUCATION, KINSHIP AND NATION IN AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE By SAMIRA ABDUR-RAHMAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in English Written under the direction of Cheryl Wall and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION SITES OF INSTRUCTION: EDUCATION, KINSHIP AND NATION IN AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE By SAMIRA ABDUR-RAHMAN Dissertation Director: Cheryl A. Wall “Sites of Instruction: Education, Kinship and Nation in African American Literature” explores education as a site of racial subjection and identity making in African American Literature and culture. Through close readings of selected narratives, I explore how writers use education to represent the navigation, and imagining, of the relationships between community, the individual and the nation. In chapter one, I explore Sutton Griggs and Frances Harper’s post-bellum narratives of education as attempts to recuperate both Southern landscapes and kinship through articulation of the black teacher as communal healer and sacrificial leader. Griggs and Harper represent scenes of instruction which engage with education as a negotiation between generations, occurring within intimate scenes of domesticity, and on larger public stages. In chapter two, I identify black teachers, and intellectuals, in flight as a symptomatic response to the constraints and contradictions of early twentieth century racial uplift ideology, with a focus on Nella Larsen’s Quicksand and Claude McKay’s Home to Harlem. In the face of anxieties about race purity, national borders and miscegenation, Larsen and McKay center characters whose immigrant and marginal status provide alternative insights, and perspectives, that critique and challenge conservative discourses of both citizenship and ii black instruction.

    Who Wants to Be Among the First to Experience The Bible in a Radically Different Way? Connect with God and Understand YOUR Role in His Plan with the “The Bible Experience” My Gift to YOU This Christmas Season Dear________ Now, don’t be concerned that you will need to READ the entire New Testament in order to be positioned for this miracle blessing. You do not READ this amazing new version of Scripture, you LISTEN to it! I have been extremely privileged to be called upon and appointed by Zondervan Publishers, the largest publishers of the Bible in the world, to be the voice of the Holy Spirit in a new multimedia presentation of the Bible called, “The Bible Experience!” I am joined by over 100 other African-Americans in producing this dramatic re-enactment of the Scriptures in the Bible: Blair Underwood, Angela Bassett, Cuba Gooding Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Yolanda Adams, LeVar Burton, and Tisha Campbell Martin just to name a few! While we were in production on this masterful new version of the Bible, I had a private moment with Levar Burton… This is what he told me: “My work on this Bible Experience project is among the most gratifying in my career. I feel so Blessed to be a part of this and share God’s Word in a way that will change families. “ “The Bible Experience” is in today’s contemporary language, using the New International Version of the Bible. It comes in an amazing CD set and has just been released by Zondervan. Many expect it to top the charts and provide an even greater blessing to millions the world over.

    Views About Desirability of Associations with Whites, but for the Most Part, They Do Not Offer Ideological Beliefs Without Prompts

    WARRING SOULS, RECONCILING BELIEFS: UNEARTHING THE COUNTOURS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN IDEOLOGY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melanye T. Price, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Paul Allen Beck, Adviser Professor William E. Nelson Jr. ____________________________ Adviser Professor Clarissa Rile Hayward Political Science Graduate Program Copyright by Melanye Tarea Price 2003 ABSTRACT Previous studies of African American politics focus on political cohesion in the form of bloc voting, party loyalty and notions of linked fate. This has been detrimental to understanding ideological diversity among African Americans. This project attempts to outline the connection between major tenets in African American political thought – based on degrees of subscription to integrationist and Black nationalist beliefs—and ideological adherence among ordinary citizens. There are three primary findings. First, it finds that this ideological dimension does exist, is methodologically reliable, and is an important ingredient in African American decision-making. It determines levels of internal racial awareness, support for leaders, and other issue positions. Second, like liberalism and conservatism, it is not foremost in ordinary citizens’ political calculus. In the focus groups, for instance, Blacks have clear views about desirability of associations with whites, but for the most part, they do not offer ideological beliefs without prompts. Instead, what is found and echoed by the subsequent statistical analyses is that Blacks are ambivalent about their relationship to America. They fall into a middle ground, sometimes endorsing and embracing their “American-ness” and other times taking a more racially protective stance by developing and maintaining Black social and political structures.

    American Book Awards 2004

    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.
