That year, his use of the phrase "black power" at a rally in Mississippi grabbed the nation's attention.” Bettmann/Corbis ​ Return to Materials and Media Master List “You’ve Got to Work For Power”: The Rise of the Black Power Movement in SNCC By Bonnie Belshe Brief narrative: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was created, in part, because of the success of students sit-ins to desegregate lunch counters starting in Greensboro, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee. Following the advice of Ella Baker, SNCC was formed independent of other civil rights organizations, particularly that of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and Martin Luther King, Jr. Inspired by Baker and the Reverend James Lawson, SNCC was formed in 1960 to reflect the growth of students in the civil rights movement. SNCC was an integrated student-run organization. After a series of relative successes--most notably the Birmingham Movement led by Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, and the Childrens’ March--leaders within the Civil Rights Movement wanted to hold a March on Washington in support of the proposed Civil Rights Act that was stalled in Congress in 1963.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Racism systematically verifies itself when the slave can only break ftee by imitating the master: by contradicting his own reality. 0 When a Black man looks at Black people with a Black mind and Black soul, it is immediately apparent that Black people possess certain unique characteristics which not only distinguish them from whites and negroes, but which have greatly contributed to the survival of Blacks. Whites recog­ nize this and have always attempted to eradicate these characteristics or discredit them. In instances where they have succeeded, negroes have been created. Negroes have always been close allies of whites in trying to eliminate Black resistance to undesirable acculturation. Negroes see poor and uninstitutionalized Blacks as niggers. They find it necessary to prove to whites that they are not niggers, failing to realize that whites see all Black people as niggers, no matter how rich or how poor. Some Blacks prefer to be called negroes because they like to distinguish themselves from other Blacks. They fear that if they called themselves Blacks, they might antagonize whites. And if they antagonized whites, they would lose o This quote was taken from an article written by John O'Neal entitled "Motion in the Ocean," in Black Theater, Drama Review, Vol. 12, No. 4. their position as negroes-the white-appointed overseers of Blacks. Thus, negroes have always tried to aid and impress whites by eliminating Blackness. Negroes know that whites prefer institutionalized Blacks, i.e., Blacks who give their allegiance to white cultural, political, social and economic institutions. Non-institutionalized Blacks are difficult to con­ trol, because their allegiance is to Blacks and not to white institutions.

And when Stokely and Bob Mants and the others came to the county and talked and talked to John, and John talked to Daddy and Mama. Daddy agreed. They don't have anywhere else to stay. My brother had a vacant home down there which is SNCC. He was not here. Bill had gone to California, and there wasn't anybody staying it. It was not too run down. It was not too up to par, but it wasn't anybody living there, so you know how that was. Daddy said, "Well, I'll let them stay over there. I don't owe George Beers anything." That was the man who we had the cotton gin. You'd take your cotton to the gin and get your money, so Daddy did not owe George Beers, which meant that our property was not in debt to anyone. So he stepped out on that. 3.2 Wendell Paris: Subject to Get Shot or Shot At Wendell Paris: What impressed me most was that the community—White Hall—that was incorporated later as White Hall—but the White Hall—it was called White Hall at that time. It just wasn't incorporated. But the White Hall community was organized to the point that you had to let them know who you were before you were able to—what's that highway number?

    Ideology, Space, and the Problem of Justice: The Lynching of Emmett Till A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Pamela L. Royse March 2011 © 2011 Pamela L. Royse. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Ideology, Space, and the Problem of Justice: The Lynching of Emmett Till by PAMELA L. ROYSE has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Raymie E. McKerrow Professor of Communication Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT ROYSE, PAMELA L., Ph.D., March 2011, Communication Studies Ideology, Space, and the Problem of Justice: The Lynching of Emmett Till Director of Dissertation: Raymie E. McKerrow This dissertation examines the rhetoric generated by the death of Emmett Till in 1955. While many of the facts surrounding Till’s death are still subject to question, most accounts of the incident agree that Till was kidnapped and murdered by two white men, Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam, while he was vacationing with relatives in Mississippi. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People defined Till’s death as a “lynching,” a charge that Mississippi’s white press opposed and disputed. In a region that perceived the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decisions (1954, 1955) as a threat to the foundation of Southern life, many white citizens viewed the “lynching” label as a ploy by the NAACP to incite racial animosity and dismantle segregation.
