  • An Examination of How Archives Have Influenced the Telling of the Story of Philadelphia’S Civil Rights Movement
    AN EXAMINATION OF HOW ARCHIVES HAVE INFLUENCED THE TELLING OF THE STORY OF PHILADELPHIA’S CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS By Sara A. Borden May 2011 Thesis Approvals: Seth C. Bruggeman, Ph.D., Thesis Advisor, History Department Wilbert L. Jenkins, Ph.D., History Department, Temple University Margery N. Sly, M.A., C.A., Samuel L. Paley Library, Temple University ii Copyright © 2011 by Sara Borden All rights reserved iii Abstract This paper examines the way that history and the archive interact with an examination of the civil rights movement in Philadelphia in the 1960s. Lack of accessibility may detrimentally affect historians’ analyses. This paper is an assessment of what both writers and archivists can do to help diminish oversights. Included is an investigation of the short-lived Black Coalition and the way the organization is represented in scholarship. How do the representations differ from the story the primary sources tell? Also examined is the relationship between Cecil B. Moore and Martin Luther King, Jr. What primary sources exist that illuminate their friendship? How has their friendship been portrayed in secondary works? The paper outlines the discovery of video footage of the two men and how this footage complicates widely-held perceptions of their association. Lastly, this thesis offers remedies to allow for greater accessibility of primary source documents, most notably the role of digitization within the archive. Included in these suggestions are analyses of existing digital initiatives and suggestions for future projects.

Raymond died qui- edy at Lankenau Hospital in suburban Philadelphia. The Dekwan County Dail Thues reported that, as president of the Chester branch of the NAACP for more than twenty-five years, Raymond "peacefully cam- paigned against segregation and discrimination.3 The obituary further reported that Raymond had worked at Sun Shipbuilding Company and at Scott Paper Company where he had been president of a group of black volunteers 'who helped the under privileged."

  • Educational Resource Packet: Civil Rights Trail
    THE MOVEMENT Educational Resource Packet FREEDOM SCHOOL VOTER REGISTRATION Funded in part by The Riley Foundation 1 INTRODUCTION This packet has been designed to guide teachers as their students learn about Mississippi history, especially the events that surround Meridian. The Meridian Civil Rights Trail On June 17, 2014, the Meridian Civil Rights Trail was unveiled. Eighteen markers have been dedicated, sharing the stories of Meridian’s involvement in the struggle for Civil Rights. The trail acknowledges our painful past and celebrates the people who made a difference. How To Use These Curriculum Ideas The curriculum is the Freedom Summer School Curriculum (see resource page.) It was written with 3rd and 9th grade Mississippi History students in mind. The Meridian Civil Rights Trail section of visitmeridian.com is an excellent resource for the curriculum, and includes images, expanded content, maps, trail marker videos and more. Trail markers feature QR codes that, when scanned with an electronic tablet or smart phone, will lead directly to videos with expanded content and photographs. Teachers are encouraged to utilize these resources for supplemental media. Teachers may consider partnering with their music staff for the music section for this curriculum or allowing your 9th grade students to create lessons for 3rd grade students as part of their research. Acknowledgments: Special thanks to The Riley Foundation for providing Summer Work Program Internships Curriculum Design: Laura Huff and Jesica Estes, Interns Graphic Design within the Curriculum Packet: Jesica Estes, Intern Project Directors: Dede Mogollon, Executive Director of Lauderdale County Tourism; and Charlotte B.
