  • The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women's Athletics
    “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 By Amira Rose Davis A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2016 © 2016 Amira Rose Davis All Rights Reserved Abstract “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 analyzes the ideological and institutional development of amateur and professional sports for black women in the United States before the passage of Title IX and during the Age of Jim Crow. It locates black women’s athletic history between silence and symbol, forgetting and remembrance. In considering the development of black women’s athletics and the symbolic black woman athlete, this project moves to reexamine our understanding of black women’s movement and mobility by considering the work that black women’s athletic bodies did for institution-building and international, national, and local statecraft. By focusing on black women in motion, this dissertation uses middle-class black institutions – like colleges and sports teams – to write a new history of black women’s labor. By tracing the long history of black women’s athletic participation, this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which gendered power dynamics, particularly intra-racial ones, mediated black Americans’ engagement with athletics and physical culture. While highlighting women who used athletics to gain social mobility or assert new notions of modern and respectable black womanhood, this project also examines black institutions, sporting organizations and state apparatuses that routinely used black women’s athletic bodies to advance their respective social, political and financial interests.

  • MEN - Los Angeles - June 29-30
    1956 MEN - Los Angeles - June 29-30 1956 was truly a vintage year in track and field; world records were set in 9 of 10 individual Olympic track events (by contrast 1996 saw 3 WRs in mens track events), while in 5 field event WRs were set (the 1996 tally was 1). If the Melbourne Olympics were the highlight of the season the FOT ran them close. In many events - the sprints (where there were WR's in all 3 events), hurdles, long jump and shot - the standard was probably better than at the Games Times in parentheses indicate the differentials behind the winner as recorded by the Longines timer.

  • 1959 Chicago 1
    host to the pAN AMERICAN GAMES N. BOLETIN OFICIAL As Mayor, in the name of the people of Chicago, I extend thanks to all who have had a part in the conduct of the Third Pan Amer­ ican Games. Chicago was honored to be the host city, and it is particularly gratifying that in half the time ordinarily allotted for planning and readying for the Games our city was able to prepare the facilities needed. We are very grateful to those men and women of the Chicago area, identified with the world of sports, who gave so generously of their time and knowledge to make the Games the success they were. Chicago was fortunate to have in the ranks of its sports committees athletic leaders whose competence could not be surpassed anywhere in the world. To have been able to make a contribution toward the perpetua­ tion of the Games and to have been able to afford the young athletes who participated the opportunity to meet in friendly competition is pleasing to us. Mayor side the Gately Stadium, utilizing the existing stadium seats for spectators. Through the generous cooperation of Ragnor Benson, one of Chicago’s major building con­ tractors, it was possible to complete this project for $50,000.00. To provide shooting ranges built to interna­ tional competition specifications it was necessary to go well outside the city limits of Chicago. The City of Waukegan offered to make available a site on the shore of Lake Michigan. This proved to.be a major engineering and construction .job, . Tons and tons of earth had to be moved, and were it not for generous contributions of materials, equipment and services, the range would have cost an astronomical figure.
