Church, Johnson County, IA 7. DESCRIPTION The modest Bethel A.M.E. Church in Iowa City, Iowa, was constructed in 1868 with simple lines and plain details. Situated with its gable ends perpendicular to Governor Street, the building is rectangular in shape, symmetrical in fenestration, and domestic in scale, A moderately-pitched roof clad in modern asphalt shingles1 caps wood-frame walls that are covered with narrow clapboards. At each corner of the building clapboarding terminates at narrow, vertical trim boards. Likewise, eaveline fascia boards are narrow. The modern wooden front door bears a cross—the only architectural reference to the building's religious character. The door is centered on the facade's gable wall directly under the ridge peak. A single-pane transom light is located above the door. The church faces east enabling morning sunlight to shine through the transom into the church's interior. Over the transom hangs a small rectangular sign panel that no longer bears any printing. A shed-roof canopy (not original) covers the front porch. Steep stairs from the entrance down to the sidewalk are necessary to accommodate both the slight rise of the front yard and the elevation resulting from the church's raised foundation. Side walls on the building are each pierced by two large, 2x2 sash windows filled with opaque "privacy" glass consistent with the 1920s. The rear wall is solid, reflecting the interior position of the pulpit and chancel end of the sanctuary. The church sits on a raised, red brick foundation believed to be from the early 1920s. Records are not clear on how high the foundation walls were raised, but the project gave the pastor and congregation badly needed space in the basement and additional light from large windows that are above grade.

  • Rethinking Pauline Hopkins
    Rethinking Pauline Hopkins: Plagiarism, Appropriation, and African American Cultural Production Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/alh/article/30/4/e3/5099108 by guest on 29 September 2021 Introduction, pp. e4–e8 By Richard Yarborough The Practice of Plagiarism in a Changing Context pp. e9–e13 By JoAnn Pavletich Black Livingstone: Pauline Hopkins, Of One Blood, and the Archives of Colonialism, pp. e14–e20 By Ira Dworkin Appropriating Tropes of Womanhood and Literary Passing in Pauline Hopkins’s Hagar’s Daughter, pp. e21–e27 By Lauren Dembowitz Introduction Richard Yarborough* Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/alh/article/30/4/e3/5099108 by guest on 29 September 2021 I recall first encountering Pauline Hopkins in graduate school in the mid-1970s. Conducting research on her work entailed tolerat- ing the eyestrain brought on by microfilm and barely legible photo- copies of the Colored American Magazine. I also vividly remember the appearance of the 1978 reprint edition of her novel Contending Forces (1900) in Southern Illinois University Press’s Lost American Fiction series. I experienced both gratification at the long-overdue attention the novel was garnering and also no little distress upon reading Gwendolyn Brooks’s afterword to the text. While acknowl- edging our “inevitable indebtedness” to Hopkins, Brooks renders this brutal judgment: “Often doth the brainwashed slave revere the modes and idolatries of the master. And Pauline Hopkins consis- tently proves herself a continuing slave, despite little bursts of righ- teous heat, throughout Contending Forces” (409, 404–405). This view of the novel as a limited, compromised achievement reflects the all-too-common lack at the time of a nuanced, informed engage- ment with much post-Reconstruction African American literature broadly and with that produced by African American women in particular.

  • Barber Final Dissertation
    The Gospel Horse in the Valley: Evangelical Slavery and Freedom in the Chattahoochee Valley, 1821-1877 by Stephen Presley Barber A dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 9, 2011 Keywords: Slavery, Religion, Baptists, Methodists, Georgia Copyright 2011 by Stephen Presley Barber Approved by Charles A. Israel, Chair, Associate Professor of History Kenneth W. Noe, Draughon Professor of History Anthony G. Carey, Associate Professor of History Abstract This dissertation examines the introduction of evangelical religion into the Chattahoochee Valley of Georgia during the frontier era, the formation and characteristics of biracial churches during the antebellum period, and the post-bellum racial separation and organization of independent black churches. It will document the attitudes, ideas, and actions of evangelicals as they formed, organized, and maintained biracial churches in the Chattahoochee Valley. In these churches, black and white evangelicals practiced “evangelical slavery,” defined as the manifestation of chattel slavery in the context of evangelical Christianity as practiced by slaveholders and slaves. This study also discloses the complexities of interactions of blacks and whites and their experiences as they grappled with the uncertainties and conflict brought about by emancipation. This dissertation is the first narrative of the religious history of the Chattahoochee Valley from the beginnings of white settlement to the end of Reconstruction. It is a subset of larger works on southern religion, but uniquely examines the continuity of southern evangelical religion between the time of the invasion of the Chattahoochee Valley by Methodist missionaries in 1821 and the practically complete institutional religious separation by 1877, thus augmenting and challenging previous interpretations of processes and chronology by revealing local patterns of behavior by black and white southern evangelicals.

  • The Annals of Iowa
    The Annals of Volume 79, Number 1 Iowa Winter 2020 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue ANDREW KLUMPP describes the founding of the Dutch colony in Sioux County and the efforts of the Dutch settlers to seize and maintain control of county politics. They were able to do so, he argues, because they effectively navigated U.S. political culture while prioritizing the needs of their ethnic colony over partisan politics. SHARON ROMEO assesses five Iowa Supreme Court cases from 1865 to 1879 that addressed Iowa’s criminal seduction statute. She shows how the court’s interpretation of Iowa’s criminal seduction laws promoted a concept of gendered citizenship—the legal logic that demanded that men and wom- en be allocated the rights and obligations of citizenship based on their sex. JASON SHURLEY narrates the career of C. H. McCloy, focusing on the research he did at the University of Iowa that questioned the assumption that weight training would make athletes slow and “muscle bound.” Shurley concludes that the work done by McCloy and his students and colleagues at the University of Iowa was instrumental in establishing the importance of weight training for successful athletes. Front Cover University of Iowa swimmer Charles Mitchell in the 1950s works out with weights to train for his events. Photo courtesy of York Barbell Company.
