It is a guide to the holdings and locations of more than 600 periodical and newspaper titles relating to a black Americans which were received before February, 1979, in the libraries of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and in the Library of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. It includes older titles which have long since ceased publication as well as those still being published. The scope of the guide is broad, including literary, political, and historical journals as well as general newspapers and feature magazines of the black community. It represents all phases of black thought and action, from the abolitionists of the nineteenth century to the civil rights and black nationalist movements of the 1960's and 1970's. It was prepared in response to the requests of faculty and students who found it difficult to use our rich, but widely dispersed, tzgources.We hop that this guide will facilitate the use of our collections by scholars locally as well as nationally. It is, we believe, a guide to one of the strongest collections in this field. The second edition shows an increase of about 20 per cent in the number of titles listed, as well as additional locations including two new repositories--the Criminal Justice Reference and Information Center and the Instructional Materials Center. iii iv The arrangement of the union list is alphabetical. An explanation of the standard entry format follows: 1Western.Cyclone. 2Nicodemus, Kansas; 3May 13, 1886 -Dec. 16, 1887/1 4(Black newspaper) 5Hist 6May 13, 1886 -Dec. 16, 1887. 7Microforms. 1. Title. (Organizational main entries are used when appropriate.) 2. Place of publication, if known. 3. Dates of publication, if known.Double slash marks(//) in- dicate the title has ceased publishing. 4. Sponsoring organization or descriptive phrase, if needed to explain the inclusion of the title in the list. 5. Library(ies) holding this title. (Libraries whose holdings have been included in this compilation, and the symbols used for each, are listed on page xi.) 6. Holdings of the title in the library. Parentheses ( ) around the dates indicate the holdings are of scattered Oates or incomplete. 7. Location within each library, if available. Either the call number or an indication that the title is in microforms is provided. We have also put an asterisk (*) after the location statement if the title is indexed in Index to Periodical Articles By and About Blacks (Boston, G.K. Hall, 1973-), formerly Index to Selected Periodicals (1950-1965) and Index to Periodical Article; By and About Negroes (1966-1972). Following each asterisk we have enclosed in parentheses the inclusive dates indexed. 4 The Index to Periodical Articles by and About Blacks is held by three libraries on the University of Wisconsin campus: Historical (1950- ), Memorial (1950- ), and College (1974- ). The call number for all three libraries is 2/1361/N39/155. After the main alphabetical listing is a geographic index which organizes all titles by place of publication. Following this geographic index is a selective subject index. The sub- ject index does not include all titles in the compilation, but it should be of use to persons seeking examples of black publications on subjects such as education and Pan-Africanism. In this second edition, the number of states represented in the geographic index has increased from thirty-nine to forty-one (plus the Virgin Islands and a second Canadian province). The collections repre- sented in the second edition still do not include any titles from Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, or Wyoming. A separate breakdown by state, province, and country showing the change in number of titles follows: First Edition Second Edition Alabama 11 12.

  • Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman's Town
    Roads to Destruction: Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman’s Town by Cynthia Lewis Like most American cities following World War II, Dallas entered a period of economic prosperity, and city leaders, like their counterparts throughout the nation, sought to maximize that prosperity through various urban renewal initiatives.1 Black urban communities across the country, branded as blighted areas, fell victim to the onslaught of postwar urban redevelopment as city leaders initiated massive renewal projects aimed at both bolstering the appeal and accessibility of the urban center and clearing out large sections of urban black neighborhoods. Between the years 1943 and 1983, Dallas city officials directed a series of massive redevelopment projects that decimated each of the city’s black communities, displacing thousands and leaving these communities in a state of disarray.2 This paper, which focuses on the historically black Dallas community of North Dallas, argues that residential segregation, which forced the growth and evolution of North Dallas, ultimately led to the development of slum conditions that made North Dallas a target for postwar slum clearance projects which only served to exacerbate blight within the community. Founded in 1869 by former slaves, North Dallas, formerly known as Freedman’s Town, is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Dallas.3 Located just northeast of downtown and bounded by four cemeteries to the north and white-owned homes to the south, east, and west, the area became the largest and most densely populated black settlement in the city. Residential segregation played a pivotal role in the establishment and evolution of North Dallas, as it did with most black urban communities across the country.4 Racial segregation in Dallas, with its roots in antebellum, began to take 1 For an in-depth analysis of the United States’ postwar economy, see Postwar Urban America: Demography, Economics, and Social Policies by John F.

Wood iii Copyright © 2019 Kelly Clayton iv ABSTRACT FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 Kelly Clayton, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2019 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky PhD The entertainment landscape of post-World War II Dallas, Texas included striptease in different types of venues. Travelling and local striptease acts performed at the city’s annual fair and in several nightclubs in the city. In the late 1940s, the fair featured striptease as the headlining act, and one of the city’s newspapers, the Dallas Morning News, described the dancers as the most popular attraction of the largest fair in the United States. Further, the newspaper reporting congratulated the men who ran the fair for providing Texans with these popular entertainment options. The dancers who performed at the fair also showcased their talents at area nightclubs to mixed gender audiences. Dallas welcomed striptease as an acceptable form of entertainment. However, in the early 1950s, the tone and tenor of the striptease coverage changed. The State Fair of Texas executives decried striptease as “soiled” and low-class. Dancers performed in nightclubs, but the newspaper began to report on one particular entertainer, Candy Barr, and her many tangles with law enforcement.

  • Finding and Using African American Newspapers
    Finding and Using African American Newspapers Timothy N. Pinnick [email protected] http://blackcoalminerheritage.net/ INTRODUCTION African American researchers will find black newspapers an extremely valuable part of their search strategy. Although mainstream newspapers should always be consulted, African American newspapers will provide nuggets of information that can be found nowhere else. Although the first African American newspaper was established in 1827, it is in the post Civil War period that the black press experienced tremendous growth. Hundreds of newspapers appeared to quench the thirst for knowledge in the newly freed slaves, and to provide an accurate and positive image of the race. Clint C. Wilson took the incomplete manuscript of the foremost historian of the African American press, Armistead Pride and produced A History of the Black Press in 1997. It is a great source of information on black newspapers. Another worthwhile source can be found online at the public television website of PBS. They produced the documentary film, “The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords” in 1999, and their website is rich in reference material. http://www.pbs.org/blackpress/index.html VALUE OF BLACK NEWSPAPERS Aside from the most obvious benefit of locating obituaries, researchers can discover: an exact or nearly exact event date (birth, death, or marriage) of an ancestor, therefore enhancing the odds of a successful outcome when the eventual request for the vital record is made. Remember, some places will only search a short span of years in their index, and charge you whether they find the record or not. additional information on the event that will not be found on the vital record.

  • Undermining Black Enterprise with Land Use Rules
    CLOWNEY.DOC 7/10/2009 2:12 PM INVISIBLE BUSINESSMAN: UNDERMINING BLACK ENTERPRISE WITH LAND USE RULES Stephen Clowney* Rates of self-employment in African-American neighborhoods remain feeble. Although the reasons behind the failure of black busi- nesses are complex, zoning regulations play a largely unexamined role in constraining the development of African-American enterpris- es. Land use fees, municipal zoning board decisions, and the general insistence on separating residential from commercial uses all impress unique and disproportionate harms on African-American merchants, making it difficult to find affordable business space in suitable loca- tions. Moreover, current attempts to reorganize the land use system are inadequate to solve the problems facing black businesspeople. A complete rolling back of zoning laws is impractical and unnecessary, while attempts to promote street vending or home-based business run aground on the objections of local homeowners. Instead of pursuing these failed strategies, municipal governments should create programs that transfer abandoned buildings to fledgling merchants of the inner city. This new land use policy could spark a revival of urban entre- preneurship and help restore crumbling neighborhoods to their for- mer glory. Unlike other proposals to reform zoning laws, transfer- ring vacant government-owned land unites the interests of businesspeople, homeowners, and local governments. Inner-city merchants receive the space they need to foster new business ideas. Local homeowners rid themselves of the scourge of empty buildings. Finally, municipalities generate new revenue by returning unproduc- tive buildings to the tax rolls. INTRODUCTION At the start of the twenty-first century, land use reform is the most underexamined method of restoring the economic vitality of central ci- ∗ Assistant Professor of Law, University of Kentucky.

Black magazine covers and hip-hop/rap music videos that display images of African American women were viewed by the participants. Questions were asked of the girls that explored whether popular culture media images of African American women affect the interpretation of their self-esteem, choices they make, and future chances in life. Specifically, I sought to understand: 1) Do images of African American women shown in popular culture influence the interpretation of life chances and life choices of urban African American adolescent girls, and if so, how?; and 2) Whether portrayals of African American women in popular culture influence the interpretation of the self-esteem of urban African American adolescent girls. A mixed method research process was used to gather data that represents the participants’ perspectives.

It builds on previous scholarship of black photography by analyzing photographers’ business and personal records in concert with their images in order to more critically consider the circumstances under which African Americans produced and consumed photographs every day.
