  • Dick Gregory & the Civil Rights Movement
    ADVENTURES IN LIFELONG LEARNING University of Wisconsin - Parkside 900 Wood Road, Box 2000, Kenosha WI 53141-2000 262 595-2793 Dick Gregory & The Civil Rights Movement Friday, February 24, 2017 Tallent Hall, Room 182 10 AM to 12 noon As the nation reflects on African American history during the month of February, this course will offer a unique examination of a figure who played an underappreciated role in the black freedom struggle and other social justice movements that gathered momentum in the second half of the twentieth century. Dick Gregory was the Jackie Robinson of stand up comedy in the early 1960s, and he put his fame, wealth, and public persona at the service of the civil rights movement, partnering with all of the prominent leaders and organizations, and emerging as a leader in his own right by the end of the decade. Professor Edward Schmitt will offer a portrait of this compelling figure, and share aspects of his biographical research on Gregory, including excerpts from interviews he conducted with the comedian/activist this past fall. Edward Schmitt is an Associate Professor of History at UW-Parkside, where he has taught since 2002. He teaches courses on recent U.S. history, African American history, and several other topics. His first book, President of the Other America: Robert Kennedy and the Politics of Poverty, was published in 2010, and he is currently working on a biography of Dick Gregory. You can learn more about his research at his Facebook page, Dick Gregory and the Movement: A Research Odyssey — http://www.facebook.com/dickgregorybook.

  • US 6Th Circuit Judge Damon J. Keith 1922-2019
    U.S. 6th Circuit Judge Damon J. Keith 1922-2019 Damon J. Keith, a U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals judge whose rulings as a federal district judge in Detroit in the 1970s catapulted him to the status of civil rights icon, died peacefully in his sleep early Sunday at his riverfront apartment in Detroit. He was 96. Keith, the grandson of slaves and the longest-serving African-American judge in the nation, burst onto the national stage in 1970 when, as a U.S. district judge, he ordered citywide busing to desegregate Pontiac schools. It was the first court decision to extend federal court-ordered busing to the North. In 1971, Keith ruled that President Richard Nixon and U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell violated the U.S. Constitution by wiretapping student radicals in Ann Arbor without a court order. In 1979, as judge on the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Keith upheld then-Mayor Coleman Young’s affirmative action plan to integrate the Detroit Police Department. Despite receiving hate mail and death threats, Keith never flinched. “It just let us know that there is still a lot of work to do,” he once said. He was Detroit’s most revered and admired black person next to Young, Detroit’s first black mayor, and Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her seat to a white man on an Alabama bus in 1955 sparked the modern civil rights movement. “One cannot be around Damon for very long without sensing his commitment to all that is good about our country,” Judge Peter Fay of the U.S.

  • The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role Did Race Play?
    The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role did Race Play? Reynolds Farley* University of Michigan at Michigan Perhaps no city in the United States has a longer and more vibrant history of racial conflict than Detroit. It is the only city where federal troops have been dispatched to the streets four times to put down racial bloodshed. By the 1990s, Detroit was the quintessential “Chocolate City-Vanilla Suburbs” metropolis. In 2013, Detroit be- came the largest city to enter bankruptcy. It is an oversimplification and inaccurate to argue that racial conflict and segregation caused the bankruptcy of Detroit. But racial issues were deeply intertwined with fundamental population shifts and em- ployment changes that together diminished the tax base of the city. Consideration is also given to the role continuing racial disparity will play in the future of Detroit after bankruptcy. INTRODUCTION The city of Detroit ran out of funds to pay its bills in early 2013. Emergency Man- ager Kevyn Orr, with the approval of Michigan Governor Snyder, sought and received bankruptcy protection from the federal court and Detroit became the largest city to enter bankruptcy. This paper explores the role that racial conflict played in the fiscal collapse of what was the nation’s fourth largest city. In June 1967 racial violence in Newark led to 26 deaths and, the next month, rioting in Detroit killed 43. President Johnson appointed Illinois Governor Kerner to chair a com- mission to explain the causes of urban racial violence. That Commission emphasized the grievances of blacks in big cities—segregated housing, discrimination in employment, poor schools, and frequent police violence including the questionable shooting of nu- merous African American men.

  • Community Engagement and Educational Outreach
    Community Engagement and Educational Outreach In November 1977, 20,000 women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and small towns around the country to come together at the fi rst National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. Their aim was to end dis- crimination against women and promote their equal rights. Present were two former fi rst ladies–Lady Bird Johnson and Betty Ford—and the current fi rst lady, Rosalyn Carter. Also present were grandmothers and lesbians, Republicans and Democrats, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas, and Native Ameri- can women—and the most infl uential leaders of the burgeoning women’s movement—Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Ann Richards, Coretta Scott King, Barbara Jordan and others. SISTERS OF ’77 provides a fascinating look at that pivotal weekend and how it changed American life and the lives of the women who attended. Using the fi lm as a focus piece, ITVS’s Community Connections Project (CCP), community engagement and educational outreach campaign, reaches out to: • Organizations that invest in building young women leaders • University and high school students who participate in gender studies, political science, history and social studies • Organizations that promote women’s equal rights, reproductive freedom, lesbian and minority rights • Internet groups that focus on democracy in action, social change and human rights Independent Television Service (ITVS) 501 York Street San Francisco, CA 94110 phone 415.356.8383 email [email protected] web www.itvs.org The goals

The thesis examines the role of citizenship education in the modern Civil Rights Movement and explores how educational efforts within the Movement enfranchised and empowered a segment of Southern black society that would have been untouched by demonstrations and federal voting legislation. Civil Rights activists in the Deep South, attempting to register voters, recognized the severe inadequacies of public education for black students and built parallel educational institutions designed to introduce black students to their rights as American citizens, develop local leadership and grassroots organizational structures. The methods the activists used to accomplish these goals had been pioneered in the mid-1950’s by Septima Clark and Myles Horton of the Highlander Folk School. Horton and Clark developed a successful curriculum structure for adult literacy and citizenship education that they implemented on Johns Island off the coast of South Carolina.

When these men drafted the Declaration of Independence, they included a passage charging King George III with forcing the slave trade on the colonies. The original draft, attributed to Thomas Jefferson, condemned King George for violating the "most sacred rights of life and liberty of a distant people who never offended him." After bitter debate, this clause was taken out of the Declaration at the insistence of Southern states, where slavery was an institution, and some Northern states whose merchant ships carried slaves from Africa to the colonies of the New World. Thus, even before the United States became a nation, the conflict between the dreams of liberty and the realities of 18th-century values was joined.
