    How North Carolina's Black Politicians and Press Narrated and Influenced the Tu

    D. SHARPLEY 1 /133 Black Discourses in North Carolina, 1890-1902: How North Carolina’s Black Politicians and Press Narrated and Influenced the Tumultuous Era of Fusion Politics By Dannette Sharpley A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors Department of History, Duke University Under the advisement of Dr. Nancy MacLean April 13, 2018 D. SHARPLEY 2 /133 Acknowledgements I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to write an Honors Thesis in the History Department. When I returned to school after many years of separation, I was prepared for challenging work. I expected to be pushed intellectually and emotionally. I expected to struggle through all-nighters, moments of self-doubt, and even academic setbacks. I did not, however, imagine that I could feel so passionate or excited about what I learned in class. I didn’t expect to even undertake such a large project, let alone arrive at the finish line. And I didn’t imagine the sense of accomplishment at having completed something that I feel is meaningful beyond my own individual education. The process of writing this thesis has been all those things and more. I would first like to thank everyone at the History Department who supports this Honors Distinction program, because this amazing process would not be possible without your work. Thank you very much to Dr. Nancy MacLean for advising me on this project. It was in Professor MacLean’s History of Modern Social Movements class that I became obsessed with North Carolina’s role in the Populist movement of the nineteenth, thus beginning this journey.
  • African Americans at the College of William and Mary from 1950 to 1970

    African Americans at the College of William and Mary from 1950 to 1970

    African Americans at the College of William and Mary from 1950 to 1970 By: Jacqueline Filzen 1 Introduction This paper investigates the admission policies and the experiences of the first African American students at the College of William and Mary between 1950 and 1970—the height of the civil rights era. During these tense times in American history African American emerged as leaders of social change by enrolling in institutions of higher learning such as William and Mary. In addition to exploring the experience of the first African Americans, this paper also explores the attitudes of students, faculty, and William and Mary’s administration to integration. African Americans graduated from American colleges as early as the 1820s. The first African Americans to receive a college degree included John Rosswumm, Edward Jones, and Lucius Twilight.1 These men went on to becoming successful newspaper editors, businessmen, and local politicians. Other African Americans joined their ranks and received college degrees between 1820 and 1900. “W.E.B. Dubois reported that 390 blacks had earned diplomas from white colleges and universities between 1865 and 1900”.2 Like “many of the nation’s most prestigious, predominantly white universities in the South—which did not admit any blacks until the 1950s or 1960s”3 the College of William and Mary did not admit an African American student until 1951. Its decision to admit an African American student was not due to the school’s support for integration. Rather this decision was taken to avoid any legal repercussions if the College had done otherwise. Furthermore the College only admitted its first African American student after much deliberation and consultation with the Board of Visitors and the Attorney General.

Baseball Career of Andy Cooper in Kansas Mark E. Eberle Wichita, Kansas. June 1928. Anticipation among baseball fans was growing as the Wichita Eagle promoted a visit by the Kansas City Monarchs, who were to play a pair of games with a local team. Much of the newspaper’s promotion centered on the return of a local player and two others who had previously played for Wichita teams. All three were now members of the famed Monarchs.1 The local player was Thomas Jefferson “T.J.” Young, who sometimes went by the nickname “T Baby.” Born in Alabama, Young was primarily a catcher who first played in Wichita for the Black Wonders in 1922. Later that spring, the team was purchased by the Monrovia Amusement Park Corporation, which had its own ballpark at the intersection of 12th and Mosley Streets (between Mosely and Meade). The Monrovians joined the Colored Western League when it reorganized later that summer and claimed the pennant in the league’s only season.

    3 “I’ll See You in Church” Local Films in African American Communities, 1924–1962 MARTIN L. JOHNSON Pictures aren’t made in a straight line. We take a little bit of this and a little of that and then it’s all looked at and selected and made into a whole. You mean you piece it together? That’s the idea, I said. Well tell me something! she said. Isn ’t that just marvelous? Just like making a scrap quilt, I guess; one of th ose with all the colors of the rainbow in it—on ly more compli- cated. Is that it? Just about, I said. There has to be a pattern though and we only have black and white. Well, she said, th ere’s Indians and some of the black is almost white and brown like me.— ralph ellison, Three Days Before the Shooting As the history of cinema in the United States becomes unmoored from the history of Hollywood, familiar lands become foreign countries. From new vantage points, events that were once considered to be minor or inconse- quential, such as the showing of movies outside of theaters, are now cause for rethinking how cinema was experienced in the twentieth cent ury. As small- gauge and orphan films resurface, our view of cinema history swish- pans from the few dozen movies produced in Los Angeles and New York every season to the tens of thousands, and at times hundreds of thousands, of motion pictures made every year by amateurs and professionals in the middle de cades of the twentieth century.
