  • SCLC Places Archive at Emory Historical Records to Become Destination for Civil Rights Research
    March 6, 2008 Contact: Elaine Justice of Emory University, 404-727-0643, [email protected] Contact: Keisha Ray of SCLC, 404-522-1420 ext. 23, [email protected] For Immediate Release SCLC Places Archive at Emory Historical Records to Become Destination for Civil Rights Research Emory University and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) announced March 6 that the SCLC has placed its archive with Emory's Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL). "Emory is delighted to care for, catalog and share this unique intellectual resource with visitors from around the city and the world," says Emory Provost Earl Lewis. "SCLC played a signal role in the nation's struggles over civil rights. By helping to preserve that legacy we honor the past by connecting it to the present and the future." "Placing the SCLC archive with Emory ensures that the organization's materials will enrich understanding of history, culture and non-violence for generations to come," says SCLC President Charles Steele. The SCLC was co-founded in New Orleans, La., on Feb. 14, 1957, by Martin Luther King, Jr. and other African American leaders from across the South with the purpose of advancing the cause of racial equality. Its archive, contained in 1,100 boxes, is the second-largest collection placed with MARBL, surpassed in size only by the Sam Nunn congressional archive. The bulk of the SCLC materials date from 1968 to 1977, during the terms of SCLC's two longest-serving presidents: Ralph David Abernathy and Joseph Lowery. SCLC Archive Photos Document Civil Rights Movement Included in the archive are correspondence; press releases, speeches and other SCLC staff writings; SCLC publications; membership records; clippings and other collected print materials; photographs; audio cassette tapes; and videotapes.

  • Mississippi Freedom Summer: Compromising Safety in the Midst of Conflict
    Mississippi Freedom Summer: Compromising Safety in the Midst of Conflict Chu-Yin Weng and Joanna Chen Junior Division Group Documentary Process Paper Word Count: 494 This year, we started school by learning about the Civil Rights Movement in our social studies class. We were fascinated by the events that happened during this time of discrimination and segregation, and saddened by the violence and intimidation used by many to oppress African Americans and deny them their Constitutional rights. When we learned about the Mississippi Summer Project of 1964, we were inspired and shocked that there were many people who were willing to compromise their personal safety during this conflict in order to achieve political equality for African Americans in Mississippi. To learn more, we read the book, The Freedom ​ Summer Murders, by Don Mitchell. The story of these volunteers remained with us, and when ​ this year’s theme of “Conflict and Compromise” was introduced, we thought that the topic was a perfect match and a great opportunity for us to learn more. This is also a meaningful topic because of the current state of race relations in America. Though much progress has been made, events over the last few years, including a 2013 Supreme Court decision that could impact voting rights, show the nation still has a way to go toward achieving full racial equality. In addition to reading The Freedom Summer Murders, we used many databases and ​ ​ research tools provided by our school to gather more information. We also used various websites and documentaries, such as PBS American Experience, Library Of Congress, and Eyes on the Prize.

    Scene on Radio Freedom Summer (Season 4, Episode 7) Transcript http://www.sceneonradio.org/s4-e7-freedom-summer/ John Biewen: A content warning: this episode includes descriptions of intense violence, and the use of a racial slur. Chenjerai Kumanyika: So John, when you look at history the way that we’re looking at it in this series, sometimes I start to get tempted to make really sloppy historical comparisons. You know what I mean? ‘Cause that’s easy to do. John Biewen: It is easy to do. What’s that expression: history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does often rhyme. And it’s easy to get carried away trying to hear those rhymes. Chenjerai Kumanyika: In the scholarly world, we learn to have nuance and not to do that, but, you know, sometimes, I myself have been guilty. I worked on this podcast, Uncivil, about the Civil War, and during that time I was like, everything is just like 1861. I would be at dinner parties and people are like Chenj, we get it, to 1 understand anything, like a movie–we have to go back to the 19th century, we understand. John Biewen: Yeah. Or, you know, the United States today is Germany 1933! Right? Well, maybe it is, somedays it seems to be, but yeah, you try not to get too carried away reading the newspaper every morning. Chenjerai Kumanyika: Absolutely. That said, I do think it’s really important to think about the themes and continuities and lessons that we can really learn from history. And today’s episode has me thinking about political parties, and this kinda never-ending struggle that they have between what gets called party “unity,” or maintaining a “big tent,” and then on the other hand really trying to stick to or imagine more ambitious or even radical policy positions that vulnerable groups within the base of the party care about.

  • The Lessons of Freedom Summer
    Equal Education The Lessons of Freedom Summer By Kathy Emery, Ph.D s a former history teacher and current organizer in San Francisco, my primary interest in the orginial Freedom A School Curriculum is twofold:1 It demonstrates that if society is to be improved, curriculum and pedagogy must be based on the asking of questions, not the answering of them. Secondly, it proves that history is fundamental to understanding the mechanisms of repression today and to the process of empowering students to be active agents of change. I have taken the explicit goals of the Freedom School Reform as Social Reform School’s Citizenship Curriculum2—asking questions Since education is inextricably connected to the to improve society and using history to understand social, political, and economic structures of society, the mechanisms of repression and liberation—as school reform must be part of a social movement. It models for my own thinking about education reform was no coincidence that students at the 1964 today.

  • Freedom Schools Then and Now: a Transformative Approach to Learning
    Freedom Schools Then and Now: A Transformative Approach to Learning Freedom Schools Then and Now: A Transformative Approach to Learning Marcia Watson University of North Carolina, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a historical and conceptual link between Ella Baker’s Freedom School model and Paulo Freire’s demand for critical education and emancipatory learning. Ella Baker, situated in the daunting environment of the Civil Rights Movement, saw education as a tool for social mobility for Mississippi residents in 1964. Paulo Freire, likewise, demanded that educational changes be made for the social plight of Brazilian citizens. This need for liberating education spanned across decades and is still needed today. Under the leadership of the Children’s Defense Fund ® (CDF), Freedom Schools still exist today as summer literacy programs for youth. This paper will provide a historical overview of the original 1964 Freedom Schools program and a programmatic snapshot of the current Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools program. In addition, this paper will explore the academic and social benefits that Freedom Schools offers, while outlining the imperativeness of the program’s social action component for students. Keywords: Freedom Schools, social mobility, transformative education, emancipatory learning, multiculturalism, critical education, social action Introduction A historical overview of African American education is critically important due to many misconceived notions about Black students, Black achievement, and Black aptitude. Misconceptions about the achievement gap and IQ testing have been eradicated through contemporary studies, but the damages have nevertheless branded African American students 170 | P a g e Marcia Watson with substandard academic abilities (King, 2005; Perry, Steele, & Hilliard, 2003).

  • Civil Rights Movement: Freedom Summer 1964
    Henegan1 Civil Rights Movement: Freedom Summer 1964 The Education of African Americans- 1950 to the Present Christina Henegan The Ohio State University Henegan2 The Civil Rights movement was a time when people from all over the United States came together to build awareness and support for equal rights. The Civil Rights Movement was making headlines, and, by 1963, it was in the media every day (Boyd, 2004). The pictures were frightening and the divide between supporters and non-supporters was growing. By the summer of 1964, many players in the civil rights movement were prepared to make their efforts more serious and, in turn, more political. Activists hoped to educate African Americans about the importance of voting and build an awareness in politics that the African American vote was an important one and that issues significant to African American people needed to be addressed. African Americans, as well as white civil rights activists, were ready to support a movement and, with the death of Louis Allen, Bob Moses felt that the summer of 1964 was the time to do it (Boyd, 2004). The Freedom Summer of 1964 was initiated with the goal of registering black people in the South to vote. Volunteers were trained in Oxford, Ohio to register voters, teach at Freedom Schools and support the movement in any other ways possible. They were trained in non-violent responses and about a coalition of Mississippi civil rights groups, the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO) (Carson & Bauerlein, 2003, p. 266). The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was a group of young black activists who had been fighting for equal rights for years.
