  • Southern Sources
    Presented at Southern Sources: A Symposium Celebrating Seventy-Five Years of the Southern Historical Collection, 18-19 March 2005, Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “Dreams to Remember:" Memory, Dreams, and the South since 1954 Waldo E. Martin University of California, Berkeley 19 March 2005 I’ve got dreams, dreams to remember . .—Otis Redding[1] [W]e must tap the well of our own collective imaginations . do what earlier generations have done: dream.—Robin D. G. Kelley[2] Historical dreams are our collective hopes and aspirations. Historical memories are what become of those dreams when filtered through the mesh of how we choose to represent reality. By looking at dreams and memories rooted in but not confined to the post-1954 South, I want to argue that historical dreams and historical memories are inextricably bound: dynamically interwoven and mutually constitutive. As a result, these memories and dreams are important to the researching and writing of all history, including southern history. One of the key tasks of world-class archival repositories like the Southern Historical Collection, then, must continue to be to serve as a home for the dreams as well as the memories of the South in particular, as a window onto the region, indeed the nation and the world. The vision of the Southern Historical Collection for the twenty-first century must be to continue to build the collection from a sensibility rooted in the South but opening out to not just the region, but also the nation and the world. The vision must be an expansive localism that embraces cosmopolitanism as against provincialism.

    August 3, 2020 H.E. Michelle Bachelet United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Palais Wilson 52 rue des Pâquis CH-1201 Geneva, Switzerland (via email: [email protected]) Dear High Commissioner, The undersigned families of victims of police violence and civil society organizations write with regard to the Human Rights Council resolution (A/HRC/43/L.50) on the promotion and protection of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Africans and of people of African descent against excessive use of force and other human rights violations by law enforcement officers. As you know, the resolution has mandated your office, with the assistance of relevant Special Mandate Holders, “to prepare a report on systemic racism, violations of international human rights law against Africans and people of African descent by law enforcement agencies, especially those incidents that resulted in the death of George Floyd and other Africans and of people of African descent, to contribute to accountability and redress for victims.” The resolution has also requested that your office “examine government responses to antiracism peaceful process peaceful protests, including the alleged use of excessive force against protesters, bystanders and journalists.” In addition, the resolution also requested that the High Commissioner “include updates on police brutality against Africans and people of African descent in all her oral updates to the Council.” While we were disappointed that the Council adopted a watered-down resolution due to enormous diplomatic pressure from the United States and other allied countries, we consider the outcome of the urgent debate a crucial first step towards full accountability for systemic police violence against Black people in the United States and more generally against people of African descent around the world.

MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. From: Dan Sweat Subject: Report on Urban Coalition Meeting, October 9, New York City The meeting of the Steering Committee of the National Urban Coalition developed into quite a stalemate on the question of whether or not public policy positions should be taken by the group. Most Mayors present - Lindsay, Cavanagh, Graham and perhaps Naftalin, as well as some Civil Rights, Education and Religion representatives felt the urgent necessity for the Coalition to communicate a policy position to the Congress on such pressing matters as the Welfare Amendments, Poverty Bill, etc. Business representatives, noteably Frederick Close and Gerald Phillippe, felt any policy statements issued as a Coalition on controversial legislation would jeopardize anticipated support for the Coalition by Business. They were greatly upset by the Coalition's statement on the Clark-Javits Amendment to the Poverty Bill. After a two hour debate the committee voted to adopt a policy which states: "The Coalition shall take public policy positions except where a substantial or intense disagreement emerges." Mayor Allen Page Two October 11, 1967 What this all amounted to was a stalemate on the question of whether or not the Coalition, as an organization, will lobby for urban legislation. I feel that it is imperative for the Congress to have an idea of the thinking of a group as potentially powerful as the Urban Coalition, but can understand the problem of the business representatives, who really cannot speak for any business except their own.

Charles Johnson‘s Impact on the Church of the Nazarene and Meridian, Mississippi 97 Conclusion 116 Appendix 118 Bibliography 138 Abstract Charles Johnson, an African American minister in the predominately white denomination of the Church of the Nazarene, was a leader in the civil rights movement in Meridian, Mississippi. He had to navigate the rather conservative leanings of his denomination and predominance of Jim Crow segregation in Meridian. Johnson had a profound impact on the struggle for equality in Meridian, but he, unfortunately, could not exhibit the same degree of influence on the Church of the Nazarene. This work examines the difficulties and successes of Johnson as a churchman and an activist.
