Negroes Are Different in Dixie: the Press, Perception, and Negro League Baseball in the Jim Crow South, 1932 by Thomas Aiello Research Essay ______
NEGROES ARE DIFFERENT IN DIXIE: THE PRESS, PERCEPTION, AND NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE JIM CROW SOUTH, 1932 BY THOMAS AIELLO RESEARCH ESSAY ______________________________________________ “Only in a Negro newspaper can a complete coverage of ALL news effecting or involving Negroes be found,” argued a Southern Newspaper Syndicate advertisement. “The good that Negroes do is published in addition to the bad, for only by printing everything fit to read can a correct impression of the Negroes in any community be found.”1 Another argued that, “When it comes to Negro newspapers you can’t measure Birmingham or Atlanta or Memphis Negroes by a New York or Chicago Negro yardstick.” In a brief section titled “Negroes Are Different in Dixie,” the Syndicate’s evaluation of the Southern and Northern black newspaper readers was telling: Northern Negroes may ordain it indecent to read a Negro newspaper more than once a week—but the Southern Negro is more consolidated. Necessity has occasioned this condition. Most Southern white newspapers exclude Negro items except where they are infamous or of a marked ridiculous trend… While his northern brother is busily engaged in ‘getting white’ and ruining racial consciousness, the Southerner has become more closely knit.2 The advertisement was designed to announce and justify the Atlanta World’s reformulation as the Atlanta Daily World, making it the first African-American daily. This fact alone probably explains the advertisement’s “indecent” comment, but its “necessity” argument seems far more legitimate.3 For example, the 1932 Monroe Morning World, a white daily from Monroe, Louisiana, provided coverage of the black community related almost entirely to crime and church meetings. -
Negro World Newspaper Collection, 1923-1925
THE NEGRO WORLD NEWSPAPER COLLECTION, 1923-1925 Repository: Archives & Special Collections, Charles Evans Inniss Memorial Library of Medgar Evers College, CUNY Location: CEIML ASPC, Suite 0108 Identifier: CEIML.NW.003 Collection Title: The Negro World Newspaper Collection, 1923-1925 Name of Creator(s): Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) Inclusive Dates: 1923-1925 Language(s): English Quantity: 3 annual sets of newspapers (bound) SCOPE AND CONTENT HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The Negro World (1918–1933) was the organ of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the most massive African-American and Pan-African movement of all time. Garvey's was a black nationalist movement organized around the principles of race first, self-reliance, and nationhood. At its height in the mid-1920s, the UNIA comprised millions of members and close supporters spread over more than forty countries in the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Australia. The Negro World was a faithful reflexion of all the UNIA stood for. It educated African people everywhere on the need for self-determination and racial uplift. With its international reach, it became a major recruiting tool for the organization. Like the larger movement, however, the Negro World was viewed with hostility and suspicion by European and other governments. The Negro World began publication in 1918 in Harlem, New York, about two years after Garvey arrived in the United States from his native Jamaica. Garvey had founded the UNIA in Jamaica in 1914, and he conceived the idea of a major publication before leaving for the United States. He brought considerable experience in journalism and printing to the paper. -

In Light of the Career and Work of Marcus Garvey, the Leadership
REACHING OuT TO A RAcE: MARCUS GARVEY AND MAss COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE LENSES OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP -SCOTT FINNIE EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION In light of the career and work of Marcus Garvey, the leadership skills he employed help to amplify Robert Greenleaf' s description of the true and genuine servant-leader. In his classic book published in 1977, Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature ofLegitimate Power and Greatness, Greenleaf identifies a series of attributes and virtues necessary to fulfill the role of "the great leader" who is "seen as a servant first" (p. 7). In his eyes, the concept and dynamics of leadership need an urgent re-definition and conceptual realignment if collective entities are to reach the noble goals to which they aspire: A fresh critical look is being taken at the issues of power and authority, and people are beginning to learn, however haltingly, to relate to one another in less coercive and more creatively supporting ways. A new moral principle is emerging which holds that the only authority deserving one's allegiance is that which is freely and knowingly granted by the led to the leader in response to, and in proportion to, the clearly evident ser vant stature of the leader. (pp. 9-10) The following pages will be an exploration into the leadership methodology of Marcus Garvey against the backdrop of Greenleaf's servant-leadership themes. The first part will be a historical examination of Garvey followed by a context analysis of servant-leadership. 267 The International Journal ofServant-Leadership, 2007, vol. 3, issue 1, 267-279 GARVEY'S BACKGROUND Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica in the late 1800s. -

New West Indian Guide 88 (2014) 231–261 nwig brill.com/nwig “Forging Ahead” in Banes, Cuba Garveyism in a United Fruit Company Town Frances Peace Sullivan Lecturer of History and Literature, Harvard University, Cambridge ma, u.s.a. [email protected] Abstract In the early 1920s, British West Indians in Banes, Cuba, built one of the world’s most successful branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (unia) in the heart of the world-famous United Fruit Company’s sugar-export enclave in Cuba. This article explores the day-to-day function of the unia in Banes in order to investigate closely the relationship between British West Indian migration and Garveysim and, in particular, between Garvey’s movement and powerful employers of mobile West Indian labor. It finds that the movement achieved great success in Banes (and in other company towns) by meeting the very specific needs of its members as black workers laboring in sites of u.s. hegemony. Crucially, the unia survived, and even thrived, in a company town by taking a pragmatic approach to its dealings with the company. Keywords African diaspora – Cuba – Garveyism – British West Indian migration – United Fruit Company In March 1921, Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Im- provement Association (unia), visited the town of Banes on the northern coast of Cuba’s Oriente Province. Upon hearing the news of his imminent arrival, officers of the local unia branch, Division #52, hastily made arrangement to ensure a smooth trip for their organization’s leader. Four unia officers and three leaders of the women’s auxiliary group, the Black Cross Nurses, met Gar- vey in the nearby town of Dumois, escorting him and his personal secretary to Banes in a special railcar secured for the occasion. -
I Think a Good Deal in Terms of the Power of Black People in the World…That’S Why Africa Means So Much to Me
Returning Home: The Makings of a Repatriate Consciousness “Like Sisyphus, the King of Corinth in Greek Mythology, who was punished in Hades by having to push a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down time after time, the Afro-American has been repeatedly disappointed in his ascent to freedom. In the African he recognizes a fellow Sisyphus. Pushing together they might just reach the hilltop, perhaps even the mountaintop of which Martin Luther King spoke so eloquently.”1 Hope Steinman-Iacullo SIT Fall 2007 Ghana: History and Culture of the African Diaspora Advisor: Dr. K.B.
