International Freedom Mobilization SUMMIT CONFERENCE OF BLACK RELIGIOUS LEADERS ON A~ARTHEID ~ Program Name _ Address _ Hotel Room _ International Freedom Mobilization SUMMIT CONFERENCE OF BLACK RELIGIOUS LEADERS ON APARTHEID April 17th through 19th, 1979 UNITED NATIONS CHURCH CENTER 777 United Nations Plaza New York City, New York Welcome To all conferees, who have come from near and afar, we wish you a most hearty WELCOME! We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation, patience, encouragement - and most of all your prayers. We have an excellent agenda planned, and we trust you have all come in the spirit of joining efforts to improve thelot of our family in South Africa. We intend to make your short stay with us as productive and pleasant as possible. The INTERNATIONAL FREEDOM MOBILIZATION extends to you its most h~artfelt welcome. JANYCE E. BOLDEN Conference Co-ordinator - GENERAL INFORMATION Registration All conferees must wear the official badge during the sessions. Purchase Wednesday banquet ticket ($10.00) during registra­ tion. Emergency Message Center Incoming calls and messages during conference hours will be accepted at (212) 697-2115. Messages will be posted at message center on 2nd Floor of United Nations Church Center. Acknowledgements Special thanks to the United Methodist Church Center for the United Nations for their assistance and cooperation. Location of Sessions All sessions will be held on Second Floor of the United Nations Church Center unless otherwise indicated. Our volunteer staff, pages and hosts have been drawn largely from the graduate student boody of Union Theological Seminary. Purpose We in the West have been spoon-fed by the media as to the real conditions of apartheid in the region of South Africa. Our con­ tinuing struggle with systemic racism in the U.S. has claimed our attention and energy. However, the world is one and shrinking; most importantly, we are one in Christ. Our brothers and sisters in the sub-continent of Africa need the moral and substantive support we can give. In many instances, the oppressor is our common enemy - the machinery of the multinational corporations based in the United States. The International Freedom Mobilization came into being in the Spring of 1978 to: 1. Dramatize the plight of the victims of apartheid, especially the children who are refugees. 2. Raise the consciousness of Black Americans and their allies to the terrible conditions that exist with the participation of the U.S. government, banks. and businesses. 3. Provide practical support through fundraising for the construction of schools and health stations in Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Botswana. The Summit Conference of Black Religious Leaders on Apartheid is aimed at refining our mobilization. Of all people in the leadership arena, we need to be accurately informed on the issues that so deeply affect our brothers and sisters in Southern Africa. We cannot get it from the New York Times and the Washington Post. Our gathering at the United Nations after Easter will aid immeasurably in expanding our celebra­ tion this year from 30 to 100 cities.

    Roger Addison Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript

    Roger Addison Registration and Compliance Clerk, Legislative Resource Center Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript May 29, 2019 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC “I think if you were very fortunate, it was a blessing to work in this institution. Everyone couldn’t do it, and everyone couldn’t handle it. You have people come in and out. And you probably still today have that. But I could think of no other place that if you put your faith in God first of all and you put your feet firmly on the ground and you grind, you can accomplish a lot of things here in this place as far as opportunities and jobs.” Roger Addison May 29, 2019 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography ii Editing Practices iii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biography iv Interview 1 Notes 50 Abstract Born and raised in Washington, DC, Roger Addison spent more than 30 years working for the U.S. House of Representatives. Addison’s family had a strong connection to the Capitol—his aunt, Janie Mae (Kelley) Galmon, mentored many relatives while she worked as a chef in the House Member’s Dining Room. Addison’s familial connection led to a job offer moving furniture for the House in 1988. This position laid the foundation for Addison’s long career supporting the work of the Office of the Clerk. In this interview Addison recalls his childhood in the District. He fondly describes the tight-knit community in his neighborhood adorned with many “mom-and-pop” stores.

    Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism

    Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism By Matthew W. Horton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Dr. Na’ilah Nasir, Chair Dr. Daniel Perlstein Dr. Keith Feldman Summer 2019 Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions Matthew W. Horton 2019 ABSTRACT Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism by Matthew W. Horton Doctor of Philosophy in Education and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Na’ilah Nasir, Chair This dissertation is an intervention into Critical Whiteness Studies, an ‘additional movement’ to Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory. It systematically analyzes key contradictions in working against racism from a white subject positions under post-Civil Rights Movement liberal color-blind white hegemony and "Black Power" counter-hegemony through a critical assessment of two major competing projects in theory and practice: white anti-racism [Part 1] and New Abolitionism [Part 2]. I argue that while white anti-racism is eminently practical, its efforts to hegemonically rearticulate white are overly optimistic, tend toward renaturalizing whiteness, and are problematically dependent on collaboration with people of color. I further argue that while New Abolitionism has popularized and advanced an alternative approach to whiteness which understands whiteness as ‘nothing but oppressive and false’ and seeks to ‘abolish the white race’, its ultimately class-centered conceptualization of race and idealization of militant nonconformity has failed to realize effective practice.

    The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner Ph.D., Advisors In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Leah Robbins May 2020 Copyright by Leah Robbins 2020 Acknowledgements This thesis was made possible by the generous and thoughtful guidance of my two advisors, Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner. Their content expertise, ongoing encouragement, and loving pushback were invaluable to the work. This research topic is complex for the Jewish community and often wrought with pain. My advisors never once questioned my intentions, my integrity as a researcher, or my clear and undeniable commitment to the Jewish people of the past, present, and future. I do not take for granted this gift of trust, which bolstered the work I’m so proud to share. I am also grateful to the entire Hornstein community for making room for me to show up in my fullness, and for saying “yes” to authentically wrestle with my ideas along the way. It’s been a great privilege to stretch and grow alongside you, and I look forward to continuing to shape one another in the years to come. iii ABSTRACT The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Leah Robbins Fascination with the famed “Black-Jewish coalition” in the United States, whether real or imaginary, is hardly a new phenomenon of academic interest.
