THOMPSON-MILLER Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved by: Chair of Committee, Joe R. Feagin Committee Members, Jane Sell William Alex McIntosh Rogelio Saenz Head of Department, Mark Fossett May 2011 Major Subject: Sociology iii ABSTRACT Jim Crow’s Legacy: Segregation Stress Syndrome. (May 2011) Ruth K. Thompson-Miller, B.A., University of Florida; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joe R. Feagin This dissertation is based on a qualitative research project that documents the experiences of nearly 100 elderly African Americans who lived in the total institution of Jim Crow. The collective long lasting psychological effects connected with the racial violence that occurred in the total institution are a critical aspect. In the interviews African Americans shared how on a daily basis they found themselves dealing with anxiety, fear, humiliation, shame, and stress. The narratives were analyzed utilizing the extended case method. The dissertation documents and explores symptoms of a “segregation stress syndrome” for the chronic, enduring, extremely painful experiences and responses to the total institution of Jim Crow that are indicated by numerous respondents in this research project. Preliminary findings indicate that the symptoms of “segregation stress syndrome” are similar to PTSD symptoms documented in psychiatric literature. However, “segregation stress syndrome” differs from PTSD because the traumatic experience was not a one-time occurrence; it was sustained, over time, in iv African American communities. In addition, the racial violence that occurred was a form of systematic chronic stress, the type that has been shown to have a detrimental impact on a person’s psychological well-being. Lastly, the historical and collective trauma that ensued has contributed to an intergenerational aspect of “segregation stress syndrome.” The intergenerational aspect predisposes some younger African Americans to psychological damage, stress, and trauma even though contemporary forms of racial violence are seemingly less damaging. v DEDICATION To my mother, Carolyn Thompson, and my beloved deceased father, Millard Thompson, and Nefertiti, Myia, and Yasmeen for all their continued love and support. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. Joe Feagin, for all his support, kind words, wisdom, and inspiration.

The murder of Stephen Lawrence highlighted the historic neglect and myopia of racist hate crime by criminal justice agencies. It also exposed the institutionalised racism within the police in addition to the historic neglect of minority groups (Macpherson, 1999). The publication of the inquiry into the death of Ste- phen Lawrence prompted a move to protect minority populations, which included the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Currently, Section 28 of the Crime and Disorder Act (1998) and Section 146 of the Criminal Justice Act (2003) provide courts the means to increase the sentences of perpetrators who have committed a crime aggravated by hostility towards race, religion, sexuality, disability, and transgender iden- tity. Hate crime is therefore not a new type of crime but a recognition of identity-aggravated crime and an enhancement of existing sentences.

St. NW Washington, DC 20037 Phone: (202) 462-4822 Fax: (202) 462-4823 Email: [email protected] Web page: http://www.nationalhomeless.org Hate Crimes and Violence against People Experiencing Homelessness NCH Fact Sheet # 21 Published by the National Coalition for the Homeless, August 2007 HISTORY OF VIOLENCE Over the past eight years, advocates and homeless shelter workers from around the country have received news reports of men, women and even children being harassed, kicked, set on fire, beaten to death, and even decapitated. From 1999 through 2006, there have been 614 acts of violence by housed people, resulting in 189 murders of homeless people and 425 victims of non-lethal violence in 200 cities from 44 states and Puerto Rico. In response to this barrage of information, the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH), along with its Civil Rights Work Group, a nationwide network of civil rights and homeless advocates, began compiling documentation of this epidemic. NCH has taken articles and news reports and compiled them into an annual report. The continual size of reports of hate crimes and violence against people experiencing homelessness has led NCH to publish its eighth annual consecutive report, “Hate, Violence, and Death on Main Street USA: A Report on Hate Crimes and Violence Against People Experiencing Homelessness in 2006.” This annual report also includes a eight-year analysis of this widespread epidemic. These reports are available on the NCH website at: www.nationalhomeless.org WHAT IS A HATE CRIME? The term “hate crime” generally conjures up images of cross burnings and lynchings, swastikas on Jewish synagogues, and horrific murders of gays and lesbians.

  • Definitions of Oppression, Dehumanization and Exploitation
    Definitions of Oppression, Dehumanization and Exploitation Oppression The dictionary definition ((Webster's Third International Dictionary): "Unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power especially by the imposition of burdens; the condition of being weighed down; an act of pressing down; a sense of heaviness or obstruction in the body or mind." The Latin origin has oppressus as the past participle of opprimere, or to press down. Amongst the synonyms: the word subjugation. The Social Work Dictionary, ed. Robert L. Barker defines oppression as: "The social act of placing severe restrictions on an individual, group or institution. Typically, a government or political organization that is in power places these restrictions formally or covertly on oppressed groups so that they may be exploited and less able to compete with other social groups. The oppressed individual or group is devalued, exploited and deprived of privileges by the individual or group which has more power." (Barker, 2003) The Blackwell Dictionary of Sociology has an excellent definition of social oppression: "Social oppression is a concept that describes a relationship between groups or categories of between groups or categories of people in which a dominant group benefits from the systematic abuse, exploitation, and injustice directed toward a subordinate group. The relationship between whites and blacks in the United States and South Africa, between social classes in many industrial societies, between men and women in most societies, between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland - all have elements of social oppression in that the organization of social life enables those who dominate to oppress others. Relationships between groups and relationships between groups and social categories, it should not be confused with the oppressive behavior of individuals.

  • 10. Tacking Biphobia: a Guide for Safety Services
    10. Tacking Biphobia: A Guide for Safety Services This information sheet provides advice for criminal justice and other safety services, such as the police, councils, charities and the Crown Prosecution Service, on biphobia and biphobic hate crime. Service providers have a responsibility to tackle prejudice and hate crime faced by bisexual people. The first section below will help them to recognise biphobia and biphobic hate crime and the second will enable them to record and deal with incidents. The final section shows the positive steps that can be taken to raise awareness of the issues and create a safe and welcoming environment for bisexual people. Section 1: Recognising and understanding biphobic hate crime What is biphobia? Biphobia is a prejudicial attitude toward bisexuality and a source of discrimination and hate crime against bisexual people, often based on negative stereotypes. It can include believing that bisexual people are: Deceitful, dangerous or perverse Greedy, promiscuous or exotic Confused, indecisive or 'going through a phase' Responsible for spreading disease Interfering with progress around lesbian and gay rights. What is biphobic hate crime? Service providers should treat any criminal offence or non-criminal incident as biphobic if the person who experienced or witnessed the incident feels it was motivated by biphobia. Biphobic hate crime can include verbal, physical or sexual abuse from the perpetrator. Because people’s bisexual identity is not always visible to strangers, biphobic abuse can often be concentrated in settings where the victim and perpetrator know each other. They could be relatives, friends or acquaintances and the hate crime could be domestic abuse or unwanted sexual touching.

  • Pilot of a Diversity Leadership Competency Course for Graduate Students in Healthcare Administration
    Developing Diversity Leadership Competencies 273 ARTICLES Pilot of a Diversity Leadership Competency Course for Graduate Students in Healthcare Administration Valerie Myers, PhD Abstract Health services administrators need a range of competencies to manage diverse workers and serve diverse patients. This article describes cutting edge research used to create the theoretical foundation for a competency- based approach to diversity management education in the health services administration curriculum. Detailed implementation steps of the course pilot are provided, including pedagogical methods and outcome evalua- tions, which are largely absent from the diversity management education literature. Recommendations for refinement and replication of the class are also discussed. Introduction Sweeping demographic shifts are underway; the implications for patient care and the healthcare workforce are well documented (Gordon, 2009; Dreachslin, 2007; Myers & Dreachslin, 2007; Dreachslin & Myers, 2007; U.S. Census Bureau, 2004). In recognition of demographic trends, healthcare governing bodies have modified their expectations and requirements. The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) asserts that diversity management is both an ethical and business imperative; Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Standards (CLAS) (Department of Health and Human Services, 2001) and the Baldrige National Quality Program (2008) Please address correspondence to: Valerie L.
