    the negro press and the image of success: 1920-19391 ronald g. waiters For all the talk of a "New Negro," that period between the first two world wars of this century produced many different Negroes, just some of them "new." Neither in life nor in art was there a single figure in whose image the whole race stood or fell; only in the minds of most Whites could all Blacks be lumped together. Chasms separated W. E. B. DuBois, icy, intellectual and increasingly radical, from Jesse Binga, prosperous banker, philanthropist and Roman Catholic. Both of these had little enough in common with the sharecropper, illiterate and bur­ dened with debt, perhaps dreaming of a North where—rumor had it—a man could make a better living and gain a margin of respect. There was Marcus Garvey, costumes and oratory fantastic, wooing the Black masses with visions of Africa and race glory while Father Divine promised them a bi-racial heaven presided over by a Black god. Yet no history of the time should leave out that apostle of occupational training and booster of business, Robert Russa Moton. And perhaps a place should be made for William S. Braithwaite, an aesthete so anonymously genteel that few of his White readers realized he was Black. These were men very different from Langston Hughes and the other Harlem poets who were finding music in their heritage while rejecting capitalistic America (whose chil­ dren and refugees they were). And, in this confusion of voices, who was there to speak for the broken and degraded like the pitiful old man, born in slavery ninety-two years before, paraded by a Mississippi chap­ ter of the American Legion in front of the national convention of 1923 with a sign identifying him as the "Champeen Chicken Thief of the Con­ federate Army"?2 In this cacaphony, and through these decades of alternate boom and bust, one particular voice retained a consistent message, though condi­ tions might prove the message itself to be inconsistent.

It was largely the Black press that made Blacks fully conscious of the inconsistency between America's war aims to "make the world safe for "demo cracy" and her treatment of this minority at home. The Second World War again increased unrest, suspicion, and dissatisfaction among Blacks. lit stimulated great interest of the Black man in his press and the fact that the depression was just about over made it possible for him to translate this interest into financial support. By the outbreak of the war many Black newspapers had become economically able to send their own corres pondents overseas.

    W. E. B. Du Bois, F. B. Ransom, the Madam Walker Company, and Black Business Leadership in the 1930s Mark David Higbee" From the 1870s to the 1930s, the development of business en- terprise was widely seen as the one essential ingredient for Afri- can-American progress. Yet neither African-American business enterprise nor the political roles of black entrepreneurs have been adequately studied by historians. Accounts of African-American ec- onomic hardships during the Great Depression have slighted the important political debates that these hardships produced. Simi- larly, writings on W. E. B. Du Bois, the black scholar and founder of the twentieth-century civil rights protest tradition, have ne- glected his distinctive vision of African-American business enter- prise. Consequently, a little known 1937-1938 dispute between Du Bois and Freeman B. Ransom, an African-American businessman and Indianapolis community leader, demands attention. Ransom and Du Bois viewed the proper aims of business enterprise in rad- ically opposing ways. The Ransom-Du Bois dispute provides an op- portunity to examine the differing ways these two leaders approached the problems of the Depression as well as how African Americans reconsidered older ideas of black business enterprise and political leadership. Studying the 1930s is acutely important because during that decade faith in business as the basis for Afri- can-American leadership was supplanted by political and labor strategies. * Mark Higbee is completing a dissertation on W.E.B. Du Bois at Columbia University, New York. He thanks the following people for their comments on vari- ous drafts of this essay: Barbara Bair, Eric Bates, Martha Biondi, Jonathan Bir- enbaum, Elizabeth Blackmar, Eric Foner, Wilma Gibbs, Sarah Henry, Kate Levin, Judith Stein, the members of Col'umbia University's U.S.

  • The Crisis (Brookings Papers on Economic
    12178-04a_Greenspan-rev2.qxd 8/11/10 12:14 PM Page 201 ALAN GREENSPAN Greenspan Associates The Crisis ABSTRACT Geopolitical changes following the end of the Cold War induced a worldwide decline in real long-term interest rates that, in turn, pro- duced home price bubbles across more than a dozen countries. However, it was the heavy securitization of the U.S. subprime mortgage market from 2003 to 2006 that spawned the toxic assets that triggered the disruptive collapse of the global bubble in 2007–08. Private counterparty risk management and offi- cial regulation failed to set levels of capital and liquidity that would have thwarted financial contagion and assuaged the impact of the crisis. This woe- ful record has energized regulatory reform but also suggests that regulations that require a forecast are likely to fail. Instead, the primary imperative has to be increased regulatory capital, liquidity, and collateral requirements for banks and shadow banks alike. Policies that presume that some institutions are “too big to fail” cannot be allowed to stand. Finally, a range of evidence suggests that monetary policy was not the source of the bubble. I. Preamble The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 precipitated what, in retrospect, is likely to be judged the most virulent global financial crisis ever. To be sure, the contraction in economic activity that followed in its wake has fallen far short of the depression of the 1930s. But a precedent for the virtual withdrawal, on so global a scale, of private short-term credit, the leading edge of financial crisis, is not readily evident in our financial history.

This movement was significant to the development of the black press, for it was during this period that the black press became a protest organ and rose to its greatest level of prominence and influence. Some newspapers encouraged the migration while others discouraged it. Considered to be thenewspaper that revolutionized black journalism, the Chicago "Defends:"ran cartoons satirizing the pitiful conditions of blacks in the South andsuccess stories were printed of southern blacks who had been successful in the North. It also counseled migrants on dress, sanitation, and behavior, and initiated fund drives for needy families. The conservative principles of Washington, D.C., were reflected in the content of the Norfolk/Tidewater "Journal and Guide." Its stance against migration was reflected in a series of articles, cartoons, and editorials that stressed the poor living conditions, racial discrimination, and false job hopes that existed in the North.

  • NEGRO PUBLICATIONS. Newspapers. When Federal Troops
    NEGRO PUBLICATIONS. Newspapers. When federal troops marched into Oxford, Miss., following the desegrega­ tion of the University of Mississippi in September 1962, the circulation of Negro newspapers across the country reached an all-year high. As the tension subsided and it became apparent that James H. Meredith, the first known Negro ever to be enrolled by "Ole Miss,” would be allowed to remain, the aggregate circulation of Negro newspapers dwindled again to an approximate 1.5 million. Since the end of World War II, when the nation’s Negro newspapers began a general decline in both number and cir­ culation, racial crises have been the principal spur to periodic —and usually temporary—circulation increases. The editor of a Detroit Negro weekly equated the survival of the Negro press with the prevailing degree of Jim Crow. "If racial discrimination and enforced segregation were ended tomor­ row,” he suggested, "the Negro press would all but disappear from the national scene.” While this statement is a deliberate oversimplification of the situation, it is borne out, to some extent, by the recent history of the Negro press. In 1948, six years before the Supreme Court desegregation decision, there were some 202 Negro newspapers with a total circulation of 3 million. But in 1962, according to the annual report of the Lincoln (Mo.) University School of Journalism, the number of Negro news­ papers—daily, weekly, semiweekly, and biweekly—had shrunk to 133, with a gross circulation of just over half the 1948 figure. The Pittsburgh Courier, which in 1948 boasted a national weekly circulation of 300,000, now sells about 86,000 copies in its various editions.

    Cooperative Ownership in the Struggle for African American Economic Empowerment Jessica Gordon Nembhard, Ph.D. African American Studies, and The Democracy Collaborative University of Maryland, College Park 1228 Tawes Hall College Park, MD 20742 [email protected] 301-405-6220 September 2004 To appear in Humanity and Society Vol. 28, No. 3 August 2004. Reflection Statement: I am a political economist. I specialize in “democratic community economics.” I study people-centered local economic development that is community-based and controlled, collaborative, democratically (or at least broadly) owned and governed through a variety of structures. These structures include worker, producer and consumer owned cooperatives; community land trusts; democratic ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Programs) and other forms of worker ownership and self-management. Also included are collective not-for-profit organizations; municipally owned enterprises; community development financial institutions and credit unions; community- controlled community development corporations, and community-controlled development planning. My analysis includes the theoretical and applied study of how and why such alternative structures are economically viable and sustainable, the public policies that are supportive of such development, and ways to document and measure their traditional and non-traditional economic, social and political outcomes and impacts. Much of my research on alternative democratic community-based economic development focuses on how to bring
