  • Yale/New Haven-University of Houston Institute
    Historical Overview of Texas Southern University and Its Impact Ozzell Taylor Johnson This curriculum briefly discusses why Texas southern University was established, its funding, and why it should remain an open, independent institution. It explores programs offered at Texas Southern University, and introduces some insight into how the university has survived in spite of the many attempts to merge or close it. The unit also identifies outstanding faculty members and successful graduates and their respective contributions to our community and the world. This curriculum unit may be utilized by History Teachers to teach regular or special education students who are in grades 9-12. I. WHY WAS TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ESTABLISHED? The state of Texas was still operating under the “separate but equal” education philosophy during the forties when Heman Sweatt, a graduate of Wiley College in Austin, applied for admittance to the University of Texas Law School. He had been accepted by the University of Michigan School of Law, however, he wanted to remain in Texas to study. He was denied admission, thusly, he sued in the 126th District court in Austin. No law school in Texas admitted blacks at that time. In the state of Texas, there were 7,724 lawyers and only 23 were black. Sweatt was denied admission on the basis of the “separate but equal” doctrine of Plessy vs. Ferguson, and the court determined that the state had six months to set up a law school for blacks. Texas A & M Regents hired two black Houston lawyers to teach law in rented rooms. Sweatt refused to enroll in the “law school,” although the court declared that the arrangement satisfied the “separate but equal” test.

  • Interview with Rudolph Aggrey
    Library of Congress Interview with Rudolph Aggrey The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Information Series AMBASSADOR RUDOLPH AGGREY Interviewed by: Jack O'Brien Initial interview date: August 13, 1990 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: My name is Jack O'Brien and I'm about to interview a man I've known and respected for along time. He's known to all of us as Rudy Aggrey, but more properly as Ambassador Rudolph Aggrey. He's had a remarkable career, and one that has made him, certainly, one of the most distinguished African American public servants of our time, I would say. Rudy, I think that you started on a bitter note. Would you mind telling us how you overcame that? AGGREY: Well, I wouldn't say it was really a bitter note. I guess it was just, sort of—it's indicative of the times and of some of the vicissitudes that our country has come through. I sought a position with the United States Government in the late-1940s, early-'50s, because I had written a civil service examination for a position as an information specialist. I got good scores on that examination and I went to Washington for interviews. I was told, at that time, that, although I'd passed the examination, that I was not going to be hired in the domestic branch of the Department of State. And some friends got wind of this development and contacted officials in the Department of State, who decided to look into it. The end of that effort was that it came to the attention of the Secretary of State, who Interview with Rudolph Aggrey http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib000009 Library of Congress was then Dean Acheson, through his special assistant, who was Lucius Battle.

November 10, 1998 The Honorable Al Edwards Opinion No. DM-486 Chair, Committee on Rules and Resolutions Texas House of Representatives Re: Whether an individual convicted of a prior P.O. Box 2910 federal offense may apply for restoration of civil Austin, Texas 78768-2910 rights forfeited in the state as a result of the federal conviction if the individual has also been convicted ofamisdemeanor offense (RQ- 1072) Dear Representative Edwards: You request an opinion from this office about restoration of civil rights for an individual convicted of a federal offense. Specifically, you ask whether such an individual may apply for restoration of civil rights forfeited in the state as a result of the federal conviction if the individual has also been convicted of a misdemeanor.’ We conclude in the negative for the following reasons. We start with some background. Texas Constitution article XVI, section 2 directs the legislature to enact laws “to exclude from office, serving on juries, and from the right of suffrage, those who may have been or shall hereafter be convicted of bribery, perjury, forgery, or other high crimes.“z Pursuant to this constitutional authority, the legislature has enacted laws disqualifying an individual convicted of a felony from holding a public office, serving on juries, and voting in elections, among others things.j Article 48.05(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, enacted in 1993: provides that an individual convicted of a federal offense other than an offense involving violence, threat ofviolence, or drugs may, except as provided by subsection (b), apply for restoration of any civil rights forfeited ‘You do not specify the misdemeanor offense.

  • Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South
    Antoni Górny Appalling! Terrifying! Wonderful! Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South Abstract: The so-called blaxploitation genre – a brand of 1970s film-making designed to engage young Black urban viewers – has become synonymous with channeling the political energy of Black Power into larger-than-life Black characters beating “the [White] Man” in real-life urban settings. In spite of their urban focus, however, blaxploitation films repeatedly referenced an idea of the South whose origins lie in antebellum abolitionist propaganda. Developed across the history of American film, this idea became entangled in the post-war era with the Civil Rights struggle by way of the “race problem” film, which identified the South as “racist country,” the privileged site of “racial” injustice as social pathology.1 Recently revived in the widely acclaimed works of Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) and Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), the two modes of depicting the South put forth in blaxploitation and the “race problem” film continue to hold sway to this day. Yet, while the latter remains indelibly linked, even in this revised perspective, to the abolitionist vision of emancipation as the result of a struggle between idealized, plaintive Blacks and pathological, racist Whites, blaxploitation’s troping of the South as the fulfillment of grotesque White “racial” fantasies offers a more powerful and transformative means of addressing America’s “race problem.” Keywords: blaxploitation, American film, race and racism, slavery, abolitionism The year 2013 was a momentous one for “racial” imagery in Hollywood films. Around the turn of the year, Quentin Tarantino released Django Unchained, a sardonic action- film fantasy about an African slave winning back freedom – and his wife – from the hands of White slave-owners in the antebellum Deep South.

Cox, Professor, Library and Information Science ii Copyright © by James King 2018 iii THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: ARCHIVAL APPROACHES TO CIVIL RIGHTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE AMERICAN SOUTH James King, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2018 When police and counter-protesters broke up the first march of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) in August 1968, activists sang the African American spiritual, “We Shall Overcome” before disbanding. The spiritual, so closely associated with the earlier civil rights struggle in the United States, was indicative of the historical and material links shared by the movements in Northern Ireland and the American South. While these bonds have been well documented within history and media studies, the relationship between these regions’ archived materials and contemporary struggles remains largely unexplored. While some artifacts from the movements—along with the oral histories and other materials that came later—remained firmly ensconced within the archive, others have been digitally reformatted or otherwise repurposed for a range of educational, judicial, and social projects.

  • 1 Steven H. Hobbs1 I Plucked My
    INTRODUCTION ALABAMA’S MIRROR: THE PEOPLE’S CRUSADE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS Steven H. Hobbs1 I plucked my soul out of its secret place, And held it to the mirror of my eye To see it like a star against the sky, A twitching body quivering in space, A spark of passion shining on my face. from I Know by Soul, by Claude McKay2 On April 4, 2014, The University of Alabama School of Law hosted a symposium on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The papers presented at that symposium are included in this issue of the Alabama Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Law Review. The symposium was an opportunity to reflect on the reasons and history behind the Act, its implementation to make real the promises of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and the continuing urgency to make the principles of the Act a reality. We, in essence, plucked out the soul of our constitutional democracy’s guarantee of equality under the law and held it up for self-reflection. In introducing the symposium, I note the description that appeared in the program stating the hope for the event: This symposium is a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The passage of the Act marked the beginning of a new era of American public life. At the time it was enacted, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was perceived by many to be the codified culmination of decades of 1 Tom Bevill Chairholder of Law, University of Alabama School of Law.
