Interest in genealogical research among Afro-Americans has grown enormously in recent years. This fact is evidenced by the myriad of Afro-Americans who are actively researching their ancestry; the growing number of Afro-American family genealogies that are being published; the many Afro-American genealogical societies and interest groups that are forming; and the wide choice of workshops, conferences, and classroom lectures in Afro-American genealogy that are offered each year. Despite this obvious interest in Afro-American genealogy, there are i ery few bibliographies of published sources specifically on this topic, and those tend to be limited in scope. The purpose of Generations Past Is to fill the need for such a compilation. James Rose lists some pub- lished sources in Black Genesis, but his principal focus is on manuscript and other primary sources. Generations Past is a selected list of books in the collections of the Library of Congress compiled primarily for researchers of Afro- American lineages. Included in this bibliography are guidebooks, bibliographies, genealogies, collective biographies, United States local histories, directories, and other works pertaining specifically to Afro-Americans. Emphasis is on books that contain information about lesser-known individuals of the nineteeth century and earlier, although Afro-American business and city directories published through 1959 are listed. In general, the books selected contain genealogical information: names, dates, places, and often relationships. Other books provide historical or background information cc hich may help to guide the researcher to find the data elsewhere. Periodical articles are cited only when books on a subject are unavailable. Since this is not a comprehensive bibliography the researcher is ad- \ ised to look for other books by searching catalogs and indexes in libraries under subject headings that begin with AFRO-AMERICAN and AFRO-AMERICANS and/or NEGRO and NEGROES. In addi- tion, individual biographies, military histories, and books on other subjects such as slavery, historic events, professions and occupations, secret .organir.ibins, &Aetnal and benevolent societiesmd churches and other social and religious institutions often provide useful genea- logical information. More suggestions for research possibilities can be found throughout this bibliography. Many of the sources listed herein may be found in public li- braries. Researchers should seek help from their local librarian, if necessary.

In general, these books acquaint the researcher with the methodology of genealogical research by address- ing the fundamental procedures; describe the different types of records that provide genealogical information and tell where those records may be found; provide information about major genealogical collections; and suggest sources that are often overlooked. Equipped with this essential information, researchers can make optimum use of their time and may well better their chances for fruitful results. Most of the books listed in this section deal exclusively with Afro- American geneaiogical research. However, those researching Afro- American families may find general guides to genealogical research to be extremely useful, as well. 1 Blockson, Charles L. Black genealogy ' Charles L.

  • Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The
    PRAIRIE FIRES: URBAN REBELLIONS AS BLACK WORKING CLASS POLITICS IN THREE MIDWESTERN CITIES BY ASHLEY M. HOWARD DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Sundiata K. Cha-Jua, Chair Professor James R. Barrett Professor Cheryl Greenberg, Trinity College Associate Professor Clarence Lang, University of Kansas ii ABSTRACT This study investigates the social, economic and political upheavals caused by the urban rebellions of the 1960s. Using Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Omaha, Nebraska as case studies, this dissertation argues that the uprisings were historically informed acts of resistance, which demonstrated a Midwestern, gendered, and working-class character. Prairie Fires registers the significant impact the rebellions had not only in transforming the consciousness of African Americans but also in altering the relationship between Blacks, urban communities, and the State as well as highlighting class fractures within Black politics. This interpretative lens validates the black urban rebellions not only as legitimate responses to oppression, but part of an American tradition of working class insurrection. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank my parents, Hilary and Jeanne Howard. They have always encouraged me to seek knowledge and change the world, for that I am forever indebted. I also thank my sister Gianna, whose frequent phone calls about pop culture, social issues, and what she had for lunch, jolted me from the tedium I often became mired in. My partner Christopher, has contributed incredible insight and supported me in every possible way through this process.

  • Interview Questions
    Appendix A Interview Questions The common questions I asked all the women were: Q. Where were you born? Q. How central was sexual orientation to the organization’s agenda? Q. How would you describe your class background? Q. What political movements were you involved with? Q. What was your relationship to the church? Q. Where did you get your education? Q. How did you negotiate the issue of violence against women with the image of Black men? Q. What did it mean to you to support Black men? Q. What political movements were you involved with? I asked the Women of the Kennedy commission specifically: Q. How were you chosen to be a part of the commission? Why did you accept? Q. Were you a supporter of John F. Kennedy as president? Q. What kind of leadership did Eleanor Roosevelt provide before she died? Q. What did your parents do for a living? Q. What kind of neighborhood did you grow up in? Q. Do you think that the Black women on the commission shared similar class backgrounds? Q. Were there large age disparities on the commission? Q. What did you set to accomplish as a member of the commission? Did they have any specific expectations? 158 APPENDIX A Q. I have looked at the minutes from the April 19, 1963, meeting of the Fourth Consultation. According to the minutes, you expressed con- cern about the effect of the matriarchal family in the Black commu- nity. Why was this so important to you? Q. When you talked about female-headed households, was it always in negative terms, or did some people consider it a viable option? Q.

The dominant scholarly approach to Ebony has focused on the magazine’s bourgeois values and visual aesthetics, and has ignored its importance as a creator and disseminator of black history. By contrast, I highlight the multiple ways in which black history became central to Ebony’s content from the late 1950s onwards. Far from viewing Ebony as peripheral to or simply reflective of popular debates into the black past, I place the magazine at the heart of contestations between the corporate, philosophical and political uses of black history during the second half of the twentieth century.

  • A School for Modern Times: Mildred Louise Johnson and the Founding of the Modern School of Harlem
    A School for Modern Times: Mildred Louise Johnson and the Founding of the Modern School of Harlem Deidre B. Flowers Joan Hamburg Weisl wrote to Mildred Johnson (fig. 1) on the Ethical Culture School’s letterhead on January 28, 1944, requesting an interview with her for- mer classmate. In the letter, Weisl reminded Johnson that they graduated to- gether from the Ethical Culture School’s Teacher Training Department (TTD) on June 4, 1935. She wrote, “You’ve made lots of progress as I hear of your school all the time[;] mainly how fine it is.” That school, founded by Johnson when she was twenty years old, was in its tenth year of educating Harlem’s stu- dents. Begun with eight students in 1934, by 1944 Johnson’s school enrolled 175 students with a long list of more whose parents were waiting to hear that a space had opened for their child. By comparison, Weisl noted her life’s main accomplishment was having a daughter who attended the Ethical Culture School. This exchange might otherwise be mundane and uninteresting had it not been for the fact that Johnson was an African American woman, she was the first African American to complete the total course of study at Ethical Cul- ture, Fieldston, and its TTD.1 Deidre Flowers is assistant professor and interim director of Africana Studies at Queens College, New York. 1.
