  • The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillm
    “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming.

  • Civil Rights and Working-Class Pottstown, Pennsylvania, 1941-1
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: “JIM CROW, YANKEE STYLE”: CIVIL RIGHTS AND WORKING-CLASS POTTSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, 1941-1969. Matthew G. Washington, Doctor of Philosophy, May 2019. Dissertation Chair: David Taft Terry, Ph.D. Department of History, Geography, and Museum Studies Between 1941 and 1969, activists in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, a small working- class borough in Montgomery County, organized and conducted African-American civil rights work. Through the efforts of organizations like the Pottstown NAACP, YMCA, Pottstown Civic League, and the Pottstown Committee on Human Relations, African American and white civil rights activists coordinated such black-centered activism. Also important to these efforts toward combating racial inequality was the advocacy of the town’s major newspaper, the Pottstown Mercury. Although Pottstown, which sits approximately forty miles to the northwest of Philadelphia, was not a large city, this dissertation will demonstrate that it served as an important locale of civil rights activism all the same. Indeed, Pottstown activists’ work and influence even had national impact. By conceptualizing Pottstown as such, this dissertation strays from a dominant interpretive approach utilized by scholarship that examines civil rights work in the twentieth-century urban North. Generally speaking, these studies have stressed large northern cities as the principal centers of civil rights activism. Yet, as this dissertation asserts, if Pottstown never exceeded 27,000 residents from 1941 to 1969, like other small locales in the North, its impact on the nation’s civil rights history was outsized. “JIM CROW, YANKEE STYLE”: CIVIL RIGHTS AND WORKING-CLASS POTTSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, 1941-1969. by Matthew G.

  • In Light of the Career and Work of Marcus Garvey, the Leadership
    REACHING OuT TO A RAcE: MARCUS GARVEY AND MAss COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE LENSES OF SERVANT­ LEADERSHIP -SCOTT FINNIE EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION In light of the career and work of Marcus Garvey, the leadership skills he employed help to amplify Robert Greenleaf' s description of the true and genuine servant-leader. In his classic book published in 1977, Servant­ Leadership: A Journey into the Nature ofLegitimate Power and Greatness, Greenleaf identifies a series of attributes and virtues necessary to fulfill the role of "the great leader" who is "seen as a servant first" (p. 7). In his eyes, the concept and dynamics of leadership need an urgent re-definition and conceptual realignment if collective entities are to reach the noble goals to which they aspire: A fresh critical look is being taken at the issues of power and authority, and people are beginning to learn, however haltingly, to relate to one another in less coercive and more creatively supporting ways. A new moral principle is emerging which holds that the only authority deserving one's allegiance is that which is freely and knowingly granted by the led to the leader in response to, and in proportion to, the clearly evident ser­ vant stature of the leader. (pp. 9-10) The following pages will be an exploration into the leadership methodology of Marcus Garvey against the backdrop of Greenleaf's servant-leadership themes. The first part will be a historical examination of Garvey followed by a context analysis of servant-leadership. 267 The International Journal ofServant-Leadership, 2007, vol. 3, issue 1, 267-279 GARVEY'S BACKGROUND Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica in the late 1800s.

  • Commonlit | Empowering the Black Power Movement
    Name: Class: Empowering the Black Power Movement By USHistory.org 2016 This informational text discusses how the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s emerged as a major political force following the nonviolent Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. While the Civil Rights Movement helped end legal segregation in America, the Black Power movement sought to end the economic and social inequality that African Americans continued to face while encouraging African American communities to embrace their race with pride. As you read, note how black Americans develop their views toward their own identities, as well as the use of violence as a tool of social change. [1] On June 5, 1966, the Civil Rights Movement’s James Meredith was shot in an ambush as he attempted to complete a peaceful solo “March Against Fear” from Memphis, Tennessee, to Jackson, Mississippi. Meredith had already made national headlines in 1962 by becoming the first African American to enroll at the University of Mississippi. Civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Floyd McKissick of CORE,1 and Stokely Carmichael of SNCC2 rushed to Meredith's hospital bed. They determined that his march must be completed. As Carmichael and McKissick walked through Mississippi, they observed that when it came to race relations, little had changed despite federal legislation. Local townspeople harassed the "Black Power movement at the Chicago Freedom Movement Rally marchers while the police turned a blind eye or Soldier Field Freedom Sunday" by Chicago Urban League Records is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0. arrested the activists as troublemakers.

RETRYING RACE Anthony V. Alfieri* INTRODUCTION This Essay investigates the renewed prosecution of long-dormant criminal and civil rights cases of white-on-black racial violence arising out of the 1950s and 1960s. The study is part of an ongoing project on race, lawyers, and ethics within the criminal-justice system.' Framed by this larger project, the Essay explores the normative and sociolegal meaning of that resurgent prosecution. My hope in pursuing this inquiry is to better understand, and perhaps begin to refashion, the prosecutor's redemptive role in cases of racial violence.2 * Professor of Law and Director, Center for Ethics and Public Service, University of Miami School of Law.

  • February 2021
    South Brevard Historical Society, Inc. Founded 1966 E Newsletter FEBRUARY 2022021111 DEAR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, Happy Valentine’s Day! I look forward to the time we can safely get together once a month for at least ten months out of the year. We do have some programs lined up so we’ll be ready for our social and “educational” gathering. In the mean time……. Have you noticed that the ordinary has become the extraordinary? For example, being sure to acknowledge neighbors, even strangers who may pass by you, with a smile and a wave as you walk in your neighborhood. It feels good. For some of us, it is even a good feeling when we are inconvenienced by road work crews because it means that those folks have jobs during this difficult economic time. Media news reports of special acts of kindness are inspiring. This valentine wish is that we may be HEARTENED by the most ordinary events of our lives and inspired to perform simple acts of kindness. February is celebrated as Black History Month and so we present the dramatic and inspiring story of Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore for our special feature. Both the 2005 Historical Commision interview of the Moore’s daughter and the material provided by Sonya Mallard, Cultural Center Coordinator of the Memorial Park and Museum in Mims founded in the Moore’s honor offer insight into the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in our country. Please feel free to contact the Society or myself via the internet: [email protected] , or phone me at 725.4115.
