McCarthy Centerfor the Study ofPhilanthropy Director THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN FUNDED BY A GENEROUS GRANT FROM THE ~K KELLOGG FOUNDATION Barbara Luria Leopold Series Editor Multicultural Philanthropy Curriculum Guides Copyright © 1999, Center for the Study of Philanthropy All Rights Reserved INTRODUCTION TO THE MULTICULTURAL PHILANTHROPY CURRICULUM PROJECT Giving and voluntarism are deeply ingrained traditions in American life. Yet these activities are frequently overlooked in the curricula of the nation's colleges and universities, or mistakenly por­ trayed as the exclusive province of elites. To address this, the Center for the Study of Philanthropy at the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York is developing a variety of materials to illuminate the significance of philanthropic activities at every level of society. A series of curriculum guides is one ofseveral resources designed to encourage the development ofundergraduate, graduate and extension courses on multicultural philanthropy. These materials reflect a variety of disciplinary approaches, examining the ways in which eleven different (but not necessarily mutually exclusive) groups-women, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, African Americans, Latinos, Northern Europeans, Southern and Eastern Europeans, Middle-Easterners, South and Southeast Asians, and East Asians-historically used their gifts of time and money to create nonprofit institutions, forge public/private partnerships, promote social and legislative change, build communities, and participate in public polieymaking at the local, state and federal levels. Each curriculum guide considers a variety of factors including: 1) the traditions of charity and mutual aid that different groups brought with them to the United States; 2) the ways in which these practices were adapted to the American social and political context; and 3) the role of phil­ anthropy (i.e., the giving of time, money and/or valuables for public benefit) in enabling each group to claim a public role within the American democratic system. Identification of the relevant literature has been another important goal. Each guide includes an annotated bibliography and additional bibliographic citations, which ultimately will also be avail­ able as part of a regularly-updated, comprehensive, on-line database on international philan­ thropy. Additional information on the on-line bibliography can be obtained by visiting the Center's website at: www.philanthropy.org. The curriculum guides and annotated bibliography, together with the other components of the initiative-volunteer guides, video/television programming, faculty seminars, and a Distinguished Lecturer series-reflect the Center's ongoing commitment to enhancing public understanding of the role that philanthropy has historically played within the multicultural mosaic ofAmerican society.

Angelis Introduction hroughout its history, American Protestantism has played a domi­ T nant role within the country's philanthropic community. Benefitting from their national presence and majority membership, the Protestant churches have consistently succeeded in mobilizing volun­ tary labor and charitable donations by providing the needed organiza­ tional structure and motivation. In doing so, American Protestantism has played a major role in shaping the social agenda as a whole. Over the course of three centuries, American religious philanthropy appears to have gone full circle. The mainstay of social welfare in the settlement communities of British North America, Protestant philan­ thropy continued to provide the major share of benevolence following the American Revolution. During the nineteenth and twentieth cen­ turies, Protestant philanthropy became a senior partner in state-spon­ sored social welfare programs, underwriting, supplementing and often shaping the direction of social welfare in the United States. Beginning in the 1980s, the disengagement of the state has shifted the burden of social welfare away from public and back to private sources of philan­ thropy. Once again, various religious organizations are being called on to meet the challenge of need in a progressively more complex and diverse society. In a sense, the return to limited government, underwritten by the Reagan-Bush-Clinton administrations, has begun to shift the care ofthe poor, mentally ill, elderly, and dependent onto their families and local communities. In turn, this creates new demands for private philan­ thropy. It seems logical, therefore, that a thorough understanding ofthe experience ofProtestant philanthropy in America will help scholars and experts understand the current status ofphilanthropy and social welfare, allowing them to develop responses as social pressures mount. 2 Anglo-American Protestant Philanthropy, 1600 to the Present This curriculum guide follows the experience of American Protestant philanthropy from the earliest days of colonial settlement to the late twentieth century. In order to deal with the difficulty of separating reli­ gious from secular philanthropic effort, "Protestant philanthropy" is defined as those efforts and enterprises which were underwritten by organizations having identifiable connections to the organized Protestant churches, or which clearly espoused Protestant religious goals. The material contained in this guide is not limited, however, to the study of American Protestantism

Goldsmith 2018 Abstract This dissertation shows how an array of policymakers, invested in uprooting an unequal political economy descended from the plantation system and Jim Crow, gravitated to education as a centerpiece of development strategy, and why so many are still disappointed in its outcomes. By looking at state-wide policymaking in North Carolina and policy effects in the state’s black belt counties, this study shows why the civil rights movement was vital for shifting state policy in former Jim Crow states towards greater investment in human resources. By breaking down employment barriers to African Americans and opening up the South to new people and ideas, the civil rights movement fostered a new climate for economic policymaking, and a new ecosystem of organizations flourished to promote equitable growth.

Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

Euro- peans, crowded in by their seeming lack of space and by a rigid social order, looked with longing across the ocean where space and opportunity abounded. Time and again, men critical of their own society hoped by migration to find the scope for working out their visions of a better order. Yet, in the actual coming, as likely as not, they en- countered the standing quandary of the revolutionary. They had themselves been rebels in order to put into prac- tice their ideas of a new society. But to do so they had to restrain the rebellion of others.

    Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts 2014, vol. XVI ISSN 1641-9278 Aneta Pawłowska Department of Art History, University of Łódź [email protected] THE AMBIVALENCE OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN1 CULTURE. THE NEW NEGRO ART IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD Abstract: Reflecting on the issue of marginalization in art, it is difficult not to remember of the controversy which surrounds African-American Art. In the colonial period and during the formation of the American national identity this art was discarded along with the entire African cultural legacy and it has emerged as an important issue only at the dawn of the twentieth century, along with the European fashion for “Black Africa,” complemented by the fascination with jazz in the United States of America. The first time that African-American artists as a group became central to American visual art and literature was during what is now called the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s. Another name for the Harlem Renaissance was the New Negro Movement, adopting the term “New Negro”, coined in 1925 by Alain Leroy Locke. These terms conveyed the belief that African-Americans could now cast off their heritage of servitude and define for themselves what it meant to be an African- American. The Harlem Renaissance saw a veritable explosion of creative activity from the African-Americans in many fields, including art, literature, and philosophy. The leading black artists in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940 were Archibald Motley, Palmer Hayden, Aaron Douglas, Hale Aspacio Woodruff, and James Van Der Zee. Keywords: African-American – “New Negro” – “Harlem Renaissance” – Photography – “African Art” – Murals – 20th century – Painting.

Women acted economically, socially, and politically to survive the war. The most notable expression of their behavior is through legal divorce, which increased exponentially immediately after the War for Independence. This surge showed that women had not only the economic means to leave a marriage, but also that they had the legal right to do so with less social stigma. iii Table of Contents Introduction and Historiography ..........................................................................................1 Chapter One: “with the Same Care and Dispatch”:
