MINORITY POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM: THE NEW DEMOGRAPHICS AND THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT WALTER C. FARRELL, JR.* & JAMES H. JOHNSON, JR.** During the thirty-six years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act, ethnic minority participation in the political arena has increased dramatically. The purpose of this Article is to examine three criticalchallenges that have emerged, and are emerging, as a result of the actual and projected increase of America's ethnic minority groups (principally African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and, to a lesser extent, Native Americans). These challenges are: (1) tensions between ethnic minority groups as they vie for political power, (2) the establishment of majority-minority congressionaldistricts, and (3) factors/initiatives that serve to reduce voter participation among ethnic minority groups, with a focus on the 2000 presidential election.

  • Fannie Lou Hamer, Dorothy Height, and Viola Liuzzo: Not
    FANNIE LOU HAMER, DOROTHY HEIGHT, AND VIOLA LIUZZO: NOT JUST A DREAM, INITIATORS FOR EQUALITY by JENNIFER M. BARNETT DoVEANNA S. FULTON MINOR, COMMITTEE CHAIR BRITTNEY COOPER NIRMALA EREVELLES A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Women’s Studies in the Department of Gender and Race in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Jennifer M. Barnett 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This thesis uses the standpoint theory and lived experiences method, introduced by Patricia Hill Collins and Sandra Harding, to examine the lives of three women who were active in fighting for equality. My research indicates their motives for publicly fighting racism stem from their childhoods, a strong sense of social justice, and the desire to create a safer world. The first chapter discusses the Civil Rights Movement. I discuss gender roles, race, and class. The discussion of using structural violence, systematic oppression, accusations of mental instability, and disabilities are also introduced; showing how they all intersect during movements. The chapter presents the concept as whiteness as property, a concept researched and introduced by Cheryl I. Harris. The second chapter acknowledges the work of Dorothy Height. Height used her education, class standing to fight for equality. Facing sexism and racism, Height instigated many of the most well-known marches and platforms for equality among races; sharing the stage with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The third chapter recognizes Viola Liuzzo from Detroit, Michigan. Liuzzo came south to challenge the violence and mistreatment accompanying the struggle for civil rights.
