  • (Extra)ORDINARY MEN
    (Extra)ORDINARY MEN: African-American Lawyers and Civil Rights in Arkansas Before 1950 Judith Kilpatrick* “The remarkable thing is not that black men attempted to regain their stolen civic rights, but that they tried over and over again, using a wide va- riety of techniques.”1 I. INTRODUCTION Arkansas has a tradition, beginning in 1865, of African- American attorneys who were active in civil rights. During the eighty years following the Emancipation Proclamation, at least sixty-nine African-American men were admitted to practice law in the state.2 They were all men of their times, frequently hold- * Associate Professor, University of Arkansas School of Law; J.S.D. 1999, LL.M. 1992, Columbia University, J.D. 1975, B.A. 1972, University of California-Berkeley.

  • Objectivity, Interdisciplinary Methodology, and Shared Authority
    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

The effect of this on-going, scholarly ‘explosion’, in which both black and white historians are actively engaged, is both manifold and wide-reaching for in illuminating myriad aspects of African American life and culture from the colonial period to the very recent past it is simultaneously, and inevitably, enriching our understanding of the entire fabric of American social, economic, cultural and political history. Perhaps not surprisingly the depth and breadth of coverage received by particular topics and time-periods has so far been uneven.

  • “The Pentecostalization of Global Christianity” the Challenge of Cessationism in the 21St Century
    “The Pentecostalization of Global Christianity” The Challenge of Cessationism in the 21st Century Signs & Wonders Seminar - East Africa Baptist School of Theology Nairobi, Kenya * 18, July 2015 Jeff Straub, Ph.D. These lectures were originally given at Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis, MN in 2015 by Dr. Jeff Straub. This manuscript is still in development, and should not be considered polished and final. Do not duplicate this without permission. Lecture One 19TH CENTURY ANTECEDENTS TO 20TH CENTURY PENTECOSTALISM INTRODUCTION Today we are here to talk about the face of global Christianity. According to a Pew Charitable Trust study released in 2011, based on data gathered the previous year, it was estimated that the global Christian population stood at 2.18 billion people of an estimated world population of 6.9 billion. These numbers were further divided into a split of just over 50% identified as Roman Catholic, with 36.7% claiming to be Protestants, another 11.9% listed as Orthodox, leaving 1.3% to be described as “other Christians,” including Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. The purpose of our deliberations today is not to quibble over what is and is not a Christian. We accept that the only proper definition of a “Christian,” is one who has accepted by faith the Gospel of Jesus Christ and is striving to walk in a manner commensurate with the Word of God. Nevertheless, there are many in the world today that consider themselves Christians by one definition or another and the Pew study factors in the broadest range of those individuals for the purpose of analyzing the global phenomena known as Christianity.1 According to Pew’s figures, in the past 100 years the global Christian population has increased from 600 million in 1910 out of a possible world population estimated at 1.8 billion to the current levels.
