"A SENSE OF THEIR OWN POWER" Self-Determination in Recent Writings on Black Virginians by PHILIP J. SCHWARZ >I- BLACK Virginians have attained historical visibility in reverse proportion to their presence in the colony and state. A mere "20. and odd" Africans captured the attention of John Rolfe and Virginia officials in 1619 as .well as that of millions of Americans in later years. l As the slave population expanded, however, white Virginians denied a history to their human chattel whose unknown past was socially useless to a society bas~d on racial slavery. Planters and officials rarely showed awareness of the historical development these African-Americans experienced. It was the immediate economic and social usefulness of the blacks with which whites were most concerned. 2 After Appomattox, white leaders at­ tempted to "explain the Negro's past" in order to control their changed status. 3 Perhaps wearying of being explained, some twentieth-century black Virginians attempted to explain themselves by becoming historians of their ancestors.

    Culture, Curriculum, and Consciousness: Resurrecting the Educational Praxis of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1875-1950 By Jarvis R. Givens A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Ula Y. Taylor, Chair Professor Na’ilah Suad Nasir Professor Daniel H. Perlstein Spring 2016 Culture, Curriculum, and Consciousness: Resurrecting the Educational Praxis of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1875-1950 © 2016 by Jarvis R. Givens Abstract Culture, Curriculum, and Consciousness: Resurrecting the Educational Praxis of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1875-1950 by Jarvis Ray Givens Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Ula Y. Taylor, Chair While Black educational history generally centers the infamous debate between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois, this dissertation re-conceptualizes this framing through an innovative exploration of the work of Dr. Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950). Culture, Curriculum, and Consciousness analyzes Woodson’s argument that the ideological foundations of schools relied on a human history of the world that centered Whiteness and distorted the humanity of Black people. He not only advocated for a transformation that would supplant the ideological stronghold White supremacy had on Black education, but he simultaneously created an alternative model that centered Black humanity and cultural achievements. Coupling archival methods with critical text analysis and coding schemes, I examine how Woodson institutionalized his educational praxis through the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), self- published textbooks, and his close relationship with Black teacher networks.

  • Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and the Fight for Civil Rights
    6 LAYBOURN_PARKS_FINAL.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 2/20/2016 4:48 PM OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY AND THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS WENDY MARIE LAYBOURN† & GREGORY S. PARKS†† I. INTRODUCTION he narrative of African Americans’ quest for racial equality T and social justice in the twentieth century is typically construed in the context of main-line civil rights organizations— NAACP, SCLC, SNCC, and the like. However, for decades, black fraternal networks helped lay the groundwork for the major civil rights campaigns that culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.1 Much of this history emerged from the efforts of the predecessors to black Greek-letter collegiate organizations—black secret societies. Black secret societies were created in response to the racialization and racism experienced by blacks in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.2 Blacks were subjected to legal, political, financial, and social exclusion, and this marginalization was institutionalized, which allowed for its perpetuation.3 As a result, black secret societies formed, not only as an act of self- and race-consciousness, but also to combat these oppressions.4 † Sociology Doctoral Student, University of Maryland-College Park. †† Assistant Professor of Law, Wake Forest University School of Law; National Chair, Commission on Racial Justice for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. This was a massive undertaking. Thank you to the Wake Forest Journal of Law & Policy staff for the incredible work.

  • The First Generation: Thirty Years of the Office of African-American Affairs at the University of Virginia”
    “The First Generation: Thirty Years of the Office of African-American Affairs at the University of Virginia” An abridgement of a lecture by Professor Ervin L. Jordan Jr. (University of Virginia Records Manager & Research Archivist), for the Office of African-American Affairs’ 30th Anniversary Kickoff Celebration, Minor Hall Auditorium, University of Virginia, 7 November 2006 This lecture, derived from a forthcoming history of African-Americans at UVA, is copyrighted © 2006 by Prof. Ervin L. Jordan Jr. and reproduced here by permission. No part of this work may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without his written permission. African-American males survive and succeed within a double consciousness as blacks and as men. Five have served as deans of the Office of African-American Affairs and its story is reflected by this generation of excellence: Dr. William L. Harris (1976-1981); Dr. Paul L. Puryear (1981-1986); Father Joseph A. Brown (1986-1988); Dr. M. Rick Turner (1988-2006), and, Dr. Maurice Apprey (August 2006-present). During this lecture I will differentiate their tenures as the Harris Era, the Puryear Period, the Brown Years, the Turner Age, and the Apprey Interregnum. THE 19TH CENTURY BLACK UVA EXPERIENCE The OAAA’s antecedents are based on slavery. A farm bequeathed to the University in 1835 by Martin Dawson, university commissioner of accounts, was sold at public auction for $19,500 and six faculty houses constructed during 1859 were later converted into dormitories. Dawson’s sixty-two slaves were housed in two “Negro quarters” near the Grounds while employed at UVA.

  • Dr. Luther Porter Jackson Luther Porter
    Dr. Luther Porter Jackson Luther Porter Jackson, Sr. (1892-1950) was born on July 11, 1892 in Lexington, Kentucky, the ninth of twelve children born to former slaves Edward and Delilah Culverson Jackson. He began teaching in 1913 at Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute in Kansas as an Instructor of History and Music. He also taught and served as Director of the Academic Department at Voorhees Industrial School (now HBCU Voorhees College) in Denmark, South Carolina from 1915 to 1918. While teaching in South Carolina Jackson researched his first two articles that eventually appeared in the Journal of Negro History. He was instrumental in helping his good friend Carter G. Woodson establish the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1916. Desiring more education, he entered Columbia University in 1920; however, Columbia did not consider his degrees from Fisk up to their standards. He enrolled for one year at New York City College and returned to Columbia in 1921, graduating from their Teachers College in 1922. After completing his second Master’s degree, Jackson joined the faculty of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute (now Virginia State University) and married Johnella M. Frazer (1896 - 1981), a music professor whom he met while they were students at Fisk University. Johnella Frazer, a native of Shelbyville, Kentucky, was the daughter of Laura and Patterson Tilford Frazer, President of Hopkinsville College in Kentucky. She completed the conservatory course at Fisk University at the age of seventeen and toured with the Fisk Jubilee Singers for two years. In 1915, a concert was given in Richmond and a few Fisk graduates on the faculty at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute came to hear it.
