    Cultural Logic: Marxist Theory & Practice 2015-2017 (Whole Number 22), pp. 360-373 Rights and Rebellion: The Faculty Role, Revisited Kim Emery Words are also actions, and actions are a kind of words. — Ralph Waldo Emerson Reading a book may help someone decide to take action, but it is not the same thing as taking action. The responsibility of every writer is to take their place in the vibrant, activist movements[,…] putting their bodies on the line with everybody else. — Sarah Schulman By the time he sat down to reflect on the question in a scholarly way, Dr. Marshall Jones had already grappled with “the role of the faculty in student rebellion” in directly practical and personal terms. As faculty advisor to the University of Florida’s Student Group for Equal Rights in the early 1960s, he had protested, picketed, defied unjust laws, and been arrested more than once. Ultimately, his political commitments cost him his job. Despite Jones’s stellar credentials, the “recommendations of the chairman and faculty of his department and the dean of his college that Dr. Jones be granted tenure were rejected by the University’s Personnel Board,” apparently at the behest of University President J. Wayne Reitz. On June 27, 1967, Jones was informed of the decision and given notice that his appointment at UF would be terminated as of June 30, 1968.1 Jones appealed the decision to the University Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure, which heard testimony in a series of meetings from February 3 through April 9, 1968.2 Ultimately, Jones withdrew his bid to have tenure awarded, but sought judgment that it had been inappropriately denied and his academic freedom violated; two members of the hearing panel signed a minority report agreeing with him, but three members signed the majority report siding with the (now former) University president, Reitz.

  • Freedom Rides of 1961
    Freedom Rides of 1961 Excerpted from “History & Timeline” The First Ride (1961) In December of 1960, the Supreme Court rules in the Boynton case (Boynton v. Virginia), that segregation in inter-state travel is illegal, and that as a matter of Federal law integrated travel on inter- state buses and trains is a legal right. Separate white and colored toilets and dining rooms for inter-state travelers are no longer allowed, travelers have the right to use whatever facilities they choose, and sit wherever they wish. By early '61, the Rock Hill SC sit-in movement has run into a stone wall of racist resistance, and CORE activist Tom Gaither proposes a “Freedom Ride” through Rock Hill and elsewhere in the Deep South to test and implement the Boynton decision. On May 4, CORE Director James Farmer leads 13 Freedom Riders (7 Black, 6 white) out of Washington on Greyhound and Trailways buses. The plan is to ride through Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Their final destination is New Orleans, Louisiana. Most of the Riders are from CORE — many in their 40s and 50s — and two are young students from SNCC. Little trouble is encountered as they travel through Virginia and North Carolina, but John Lewis, Al Bigelow, and Genevieve Hughes are beaten in Rock Hill, SC, and some of the Riders are arrested in Charlotte NC, and Winnsboro SC. Anniston & Birmingham AL White political leaders in Georgia choose not to defy the Supreme Court ruling by arresting the Riders. Nor do they incite racist hysteria or mob violence.

MOYE (Under the Direction of Jonathan Bryant) ABSTRACT This research explicates the complexity of race relations between whites and blacks during the mid-twentieth century by using the story of Koinonia Farm (now Koinonia Partners) in Americus, Georgia. Founded in 1942, Koinonia actively practiced and promoted equality between all ethnicities and emerged as a vanguard for liberal policies over a decade before the Civil Rights Movement reached Sumter County. Notably, Koinonians effected this change while refusing to engage or align with either the white liberal movement or the Civil Rights Movement, electing to avoid politicization of their endeavors in hopes of inspiring what they felt to be a truer change in race relations.
