Conference project that was founded in 1962, and was dedicated to improving the economic conditions of black communities across the United States. This thesis shows how the economic agenda of the early Operation Breadbasket – to facilitate integration in the workplace – gave way to its later counterpart which embraced a friendlier attitude toward capitalism and was more solicitous of the black middle class. In particular, this thesis identifies the personalities and events responsible for this transformation while pointing to the broader trends in American capitalism that made the advocacy of workplace integration increasingly less important than access to capital and mass consumption. Since there is not a dedicated study on Operation Breadbasket, this thesis begins to fill that gap in historiography. Drawing on archival research and original oral histories collected through interviews with veterans, this thesis reconsiders Jesse Jackson’s historical role in the success of Operation Breadbasket as an empowerment organization enlarging economic opportunities for black workers and entrepreneurs. In particular, it argues that Operation Breadbasket was a remarkable program that contributed to the convergence of the Black Church-driven Civil Rights Movement and the activist-based Black Power struggle in the economic arena. To fully appreciate the transformation of Operation Breadbasket’s 4 activities from a more traditional Civil Rights program pursuing job desegregation to a militant, innovative campaign addressing issues such as black business development, the more recent scholarly work on Black Power and its intersection with the Civil Right Movement has been taken into account. 5 Declaration and Copyright Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed by myself and that the research reported therein has been conducted by myself unless otherwise indicated.

Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Advisor: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Reader: W. Fitzhugh Brundage Reader: William H. Chafe Reader: Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp Reader: Heather A. Williams © 2010 David P. Cline ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DAVID P. CLINE: Revolution and Reconciliation: The Student Interracial Ministry, Liberal Protestantism, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1960-1970 (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) The Student Interracial Ministry (SIM) was a seminary-based, nationally influential Protestant civil rights organization based in the Social Gospel and Student Christian Movement traditions. This dissertation uses SIM’s history to explore the role of liberal Protestants in the popular revolutions of the 1960s. Entirely student-led and always ecumenical in scope, SIM began in 1960 with the tactic of placing black assistant pastors in white churches and whites in black churches with the goal of achieving racial reconciliation. In its later years, before it disbanded in mid-1968, SIM moved away from church structures, engaging directly in political and economic movements, inner-city ministry and development projects, and college and seminary teaching. In each of these areas, SIM participants attempted to live out German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer's exhortation to “bring the church into the world.” Revolution and Reconciliation demonstrates that the civil rights movement, in both its “classic” phase from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s and its longer phase stretching over most of the twentieth century, was imbued with religious faith and its expression.

  • Vol 46 Businesses of Warren Michigan Area Through the Years
    Vol 46 Businesses of Warren Michigan Area through the Years The earliest known businesses were skilled hunters and skilled arrowhead makers who traded their services for other items. Next were the hair sellers. Both the French and British paid for furs and scalps. Animal pelts and human scalps were traded. Thousands of innocent persons were murdered. After the Americans got firm control this stopped. We then had rule of law rather than rule by brute force. Next ax men and chain men worked with the surveyors in 1817. Log cabin makers were rewarded with food and drink. Next came the sawmill operators. Soon store operators, brick makers, brewers and tavern keepers set up in good locations. Inn keeping was soon added as business minded people decided to profit from good locations. Sometimes hunters were paid usually by barter for being back fresh meat. Can't forget soldiers who secured the peace many of whom died in the process. Land speculation no doubt paid off. At least three names stand out. Mr Shubael Conant a Detroit merchant was a shrewd business man. The Government was selling swamp land for one half of the standard price of $2.50 per acre. He bought a lot of land in SW Warren.and resold them for great profit. The Groesbeck families who were the first buyers in Warren Township It seemed that at one time or another they owned many parcels of land all over Warren Township. And third was Walter Piper much later on in time who developed the Baseline and Van Dyke Areas.

Sakuma Semba (M.A., Department of Religious Studies) American Prophet: Martin Luther King, Jr. Thesis directed by Professor Ira Chernus Abstract: In August 2011, after more than two decades of planning, fund-raising and construction, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial— a four-acre tract south of the Mall featuring a granite statue of King — has opened to the public. King is officially enshrined in granite in the National Mall. A black preacher became a monument, a monument represents America. King is the prophet of American Civil Religion. This paper examines Martin Luther King, Jr. as the prophet of America and in the context of American Civil Religion. To begin, I will explore the concepts and definitions of the prophet, the civil religion, and the American Creed by analyzing Max Weber, Robert Bellah, Martin Marty, and Richard Hughes’s works. King’s thoughts, words and acts in the light of prophetic traditions and the Civil Religion will be further discussed.

  • Excerpts from Speeches from the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom August 28, 1963
    Excerpts from Speeches from the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom August 28, 1963 A. Philip Randolph, Director, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom Fellow Americans, we are gathered here in the largest demonstration in the history of this nation…It was not until the streets and jails of Birmingham were filled that Congress began to think about civil rights legislation. It was not until thousands demonstrated in the South that lunch counters…were integrated… The March on Washington is not the climax of our struggle but a new beginning not only for the Negro but for all Americans who thirst for a better life. Reverend Eugene Carson Blake, Stated Clerk, United Presbyterian Church of the U.S.A, Vice Chairman, Commission on Race Relations of the National Council of Churches of Christ in America Yes, we come to march behind and with these amazingly able leaders of the Negro American…They have offered their bodies to arrest and violence, to the hurt and indignity of fire hoses and dogs…for this just cause…We come to present ourselves this day, our souls and bodies…We come in prayer…We come in faith that the God who made us…will overrule the fears and hatred that so far have prevented the establishment of full racial justice in our beloved country… And we come in that love…which reconciles into true community all men of every color, race and nation. John Lewis, National Chairman, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee To those who say “be patient and wait,” we must say that we cannot be patient… we want to be free now.

During the last six years the civil rights movement of the 1950-60s has proved to be one of the most popular areas of research, particularly among undergraduates and sixth-form students. The enquiries have covered many different aspects of the movement: school desegregation, bus boycotts, sit-ins, marches, the involvement of white northern college students, the actions of individuals such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the reactions of white southerners and the federal government. This guide will facilitate research on these topics and many others.
