  • ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RACE, RELIGION, and CLASS: THE
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RACE, RELIGION, AND CLASS: THE THOUGHT OF REVEREND GEORGE FREEMAN BRAGG, JR., Stanley Jenkins Jr., Master of Arts, March 2019 Thesis Chair: Debra N. Ham, Ph.D. Department of History George Freeman Bragg (1863-1940) was a black Episcopal priest and civil rights activist during the Progressive Era in America. He was also a brilliant yet complicated man whose thoughts and opinions were in tension with one another. Bragg’s writings are not one dimensional and lend themselves to various interpretations. Hence, it is possible to view him as either an accommodationist, a man imbued with a racial consciousness or an unwieldy blend of both. However, much of the available literature on Bragg presents a one-dimensional portrait of him. Celebrating his many civil rights struggles, these portraits ignore the sometimes contradictory and complex nature of his thought. Indeed, Bragg bears witness to historian Wilson J. Moses’s contention that all serious prolonged thinking eventually results in contradiction. Hence, the following thesis will critically examine the writings of Bragg in an effort to flesh out the complex character of his thought. It will also attempt to provide a workable explanation to explain the same. The writings of Bragg were not the only sources used to examine his thought. The works of historians Wilson J. Moses, Kevin K. Gaines, and Evelyn Higginbotham that focused on black elites, racial uplift ideology, and classism were indispensable to this study. Notwithstanding, there were a plethora of primary and secondary sources that undergirded this study and helped to socially contextualize and interrogate Bragg’s complex thought.

  • Charles E. Vawter and Representations of Progressive Education
    Charles E. Vawter and Representations of Progressive Education _______________________________ A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Curry School of Education University of Virginia _________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _________________________________ by Hugh A. Meagher B.A., M.A. August 2017 Charles E. Vawter and Representations of Progressive Education by HUGH ALEXANDER MEAGHER (Under the Direction of Derrick P. Alridge) ABSTRACT Charles Erastus Vawter, who in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century served as the Superintendent of the Miller Manual Labor School of Albemarle and the Rector of the Board of Visitors at both Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the Virginia State University, was an important progressive educator whose influence is profound but who remains largely forgotten in the early twentieth-first century. After serving as an officer in the Confederate Army’s “Stonewall Brigade”, Vawter completed his undergraduate education at Emory and Henry College and received his master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Virginia. Vawter then devoted the remaining thirty-six years of his life to the education of young Virginians – most of whom came from very humble backgrounds. Despite his prominent role at Miller Manual, Virginia Tech, and Virginia State University, a comprehensive study of Vawter’s educational thought has not been attempted prior to this study. This study seeks to describe and clarify Vawter’s educational thought, concentrating on his twenty-seven-year tenure as the superintendent of the Miller School of Albemarle, his fourteen-year service as Rector on the Virginia Polytechnic Board, and his four-year tenure as Rector of the Virginia State University Board, which terminated with Vawter’s death in 1905.

  • HSE Social Studies Curriculum Unit Descriptions UNIT ONE: Colonialism and the Road to Revolution
    HSE Social Studies Curriculum Unit Descriptions UNIT ONE: Colonialism and the Road to Revolution Content Covered in Lesson Plan 1 he origins of the United States are often taught as a tale of heroics— Toppressed colonists revolt against an unreasonable English king, somehow conceiving of noble ideals of freedom and equality all on their own. The lessons in this unit focus on economic factors and incentives for colonialism. They also seek to introduce students to Enlightenment figures and ideas so that students understand that the ideas made so famous by the Declaration of Independence—equality, freedom—had their origins in thinking quite prevalent in Europe at the time. In other words, Thomas Jefferson did not think this up all by himself. Before diving into all of this content, students need to feel motivated and understand the rationale behind the approach. The very first activity, therefore, centers upon a text that discussed the “brain science” justification for learning content. It’s best to find out what students know about major events in U.S. history before embarking on a series of lessons. In Lesson One, students brainstorm major events they know about and predict where each event belongs on a timeline. The class’s knowledge is pooled, and the teacher finds out what students already know. The timeline introduced in the first lesson will be returned to continually throughout the curriculum, so that students can situate the particular events they are learning about within a larger frame. I try to use maps as often as possible so that students become familiar with the world and U.S.

  • The Black Press, African American Celebrity Culture, and Critical Citizenship in Early Twentieth Century America, 1895-1935
    LOOKING AT THE STARS: THE BLACK PRESS, AFRICAN AMERICAN CELEBRITY CULTURE, AND CRITICAL CITIZENSHIP IN EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICA, 1895-1935 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION by Carrie Teresa May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Carolyn Kitch, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Susan Jacobson, Journalism & Mass Communication, Florida International University Andrew Mendelson, Media and Communication Linn Washington, External Member, Journalism ABSTRACT Through the development of entertainment culture, African American actors, athletes and musicians increasingly were publicly recognized. In the mainstream press, Black celebrities were often faced with the same snubs and prejudices as ordinary Black citizens, who suffered persecution under Jim Crow legislation that denied African Americans their basic civil rights. In the Black press, however, these celebrities received great attention, and as visible and popular members of the Black community they played a decisive yet often unwitting and tenuous role in representing African American identity collectively. Charles M. Payne and Adam Green use the term “critical citizenship” to describe the way in which African Americans during this period conceptualized their identities as American citizens. Though Payne and Green discussed critical citizenship in terms of activism, this project broadens the term to include considerations of community- building and race pride as well. Conceptualizing critical citizenship for the black community was an important part of the overall mission of the Black press. Black press entertainment journalism, which used celebrities as both “constellations” and companions in the fight for civil rights, emerged against the battle against Jim Crowism and came to embody the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance.

  • Black Music, Racial Identity and Black Consciousness In
    BLACK MUSIC, RACIAL IDENTITY, AND BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE SPIRITUALS AND THE BLUES ……………………………………………………………………………………………… A Thesis Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board …………………………………………………………………………………………........ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts …………………………………………………………………………………………….... by Diallo Mamadou D. May 2013 Thesis Approvals: Molefi Kete Asante, Thesis Advisor, African American Studies Department, Temple University Diane Turner, Committee Member, Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection, Temple University Abstract African American Music has always served to document the history of enslaved Africans in America. It takes its roots in African spirituality and originally pervades all aspects of African life. That Music has been transformed as soon as it got on this side of the Atlantic Ocean in a context of slavery and oppression. As historical documents, Black Music has served African Americans to deal with their experience in America from slavery to freedom. This work studies how Black Spirituals and the Blues have played a tremendous role in building an African American identity and in raising race consciousness in an oppressed people in a perpetual quest for freedom and equal rights in America. i Acknowledgements There are certain individuals with whom I have interacted with through these years and who have provided me with inspiration and encouragement during my quest for documenting and preserving information about the history of the music of African American people. After having spent many years researching and assembling information on the history of Black people in America and working on the archives of Molefi Kete Asante Institute as well as of the Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection, I have arrived at the point where I feel that the interest and the loyalty of African-centered people will help me better direct my research into the twenty-first century and towards posterity with a new perspective.

Black College Presidents After Brown Tina Poole University of Virginia May 2005 1 Copyright. Tina Pooles and the Virginia Center for Digital History, University of Virginia. 2005. This work may not be published, duplicated, or copied for any purpose without permission of the author. It may be cited under academic fair use guidelines. The Brown v. Board of Education decision handed down on May 9, 1954 forever changed the face of education. Although other Supreme Court decisions initiated desegregation at institutions of higher learning, Brown had a significant impact on black colleges and universities. Brown called into question the overall legitimacy of educational institutions whose existences were based primarily on race.1 Yet it seemed to some that the HBCU might be or become an anachronism, and as a result, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) faced growing opposition. The college presidents of Virginia State College, Virginia Union University, and Hampton Institute all felt pressure to defend their institutions against the charge that their schools were no longer necessary because predominately white colleges and universities were open for integration. But competition for students and money among the HBCU’s hindered the schools’ abilities to present a unified front. Even at a time when the Civil Rights Movement mobilized and united student activists, black college presidents in Virginia remained divided in their promotion of black education.
