Cline ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DAVID P. CLINE: Revolution and Reconciliation: The Student Interracial Ministry, Liberal Protestantism, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1960-1970 (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) The Student Interracial Ministry (SIM) was a seminary-based, nationally influential Protestant civil rights organization based in the Social Gospel and Student Christian Movement traditions. This dissertation uses SIM’s history to explore the role of liberal Protestants in the popular revolutions of the 1960s. Entirely student-led and always ecumenical in scope, SIM began in 1960 with the tactic of placing black assistant pastors in white churches and whites in black churches with the goal of achieving racial reconciliation. In its later years, before it disbanded in mid-1968, SIM moved away from church structures, engaging directly in political and economic movements, inner-city ministry and development projects, and college and seminary teaching. In each of these areas, SIM participants attempted to live out German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer's exhortation to “bring the church into the world.” Revolution and Reconciliation demonstrates that the civil rights movement, in both its “classic” phase from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s and its longer phase stretching over most of the twentieth century, was imbued with religious faith and its expression.

  • The Economics of Empowerment: the Civil Rights Origins of Program
    The Economics of Empowerment The Civil Rights Origins of Program-Related Investments Rachel Wimpee, Ph.D. Historian & Project Director Rockefeller Archive Center Philanthropy and Social Impact. A Research Symposium The Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy University of Southern California March 14-16, 2019 “Investment Philanthropy” The concept of philanthropic engagement with private sector markets and methods goes at least as far back as Benjamin Franklin’s support for apprenticeships. Over one hundred years ago, the Russell Sage Foundation famously promoted what its vice president Robert W. de Forest called “investment philanthropy.” Using up to one-quarter of the Foundation’s principal, and with the stipulation that such investments should yield a return of at least 3 percent, the Foundation’s most long-lasting endeavor of this sort was the Forest Hills Gardens affordable housing development in Queens, New York. Described as a “business investment of the Russell Sage Foundation [...] conducted on strictly business principles for a fair profit,” the development project promoters emphasized, “it is not a charity.”1 If foundation involvement in for-profit endeavors for charitable purpose is not new, neither are the debates that inevitably surround the concept. Evergreen issues are those involving fiduciary responsibility, invading capital, the relationship between investments and grants, and the long term health of an endowment. Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage (1828-1928), founder of the Russell Sage Foundation, was particularly concerned

    RACING THE CITY INTENTIONAL INTEGRATION AND THE PURSUIT OF RACIAL JUSTICE IN POST -WWII AMERICA A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Abigail Perkiss May, 2010 Examining Committee Members: David Farber, Advisory Chair, History Bryant Simon, History Beth Bailey, History Kevin Kruse, External Member, History, Princeton University ii ABSTRACT Racing the City: Intentional Integration and the Pursuit of Racial Justice in Post-War America Abigail L. Perkiss Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2010 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: David Farber My dissertation, Racing the City: Intentional Integration and the Pursuit of Racial Justice in Post-WWII America , examines the creation, experience, and meaning of intentionally integrated residential space in the latter half of the twentieth century. Entering into the growing historiographical conversations on post-war American cities and the northern civil rights movement, I argue that with a strong commitment to maintaining residential cohesion and a heightened sense of racial justice in the wake of the Second World War, liberal integrationists around the country embarked on grassroots campaigns seeking to translate the ideals of racial equality into a blueprint for genuine interracial living. Through innovative real estate efforts, creative marketing techniques, and religious activism, pioneering community groups worked to intentionally integrate their neighborhoods, to serve as a model for sustainable urbanity and racial justice in the United States. My research, centered on the northwest Philadelphia neighborhood of West Mount Airy, chronicles a liberal community effort that confronted formal legal and governmental policies and deeply entrenched cultural understandings; through this integration project, activists sought to redefine post-war urban space in terms of racial inclusion.

  • Religion's Investment and Involvement in Community-Based Economic Development
    8894 HUD Compendium-rev5/13.qxd 5/13/04 12:41 PM Page 27 RELIGION’S INVESTMENT AND INVOLVEMENT IN COMMUNITY-BASED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: AN OVERVIEW Elliot Wright The role of religion in promoting the social and economic welfare of communities and their people is timeless, ancient and contemporary, and richly complex in form and motivation. Concern for the physical and material well-being of the circle of faith promotes a sense of “we” and commitment to the prosperity of those who share common beliefs. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the travails of Moses as he sought to care for the needs of wandering Hebrews demonstrate the point, as does the communitarian experiment of the earliest Christian church in Jerusalem. It also could be found among religious groups on the American frontier in the 18th and 19th centuries. Churches took the edge off the hard life and “actively shaped the use of growing wealth and labor resources to promote educational and voluntary aid to those in need…Ordained and lay leaders promoted the spiritual and material prosperity of their flocks through productive households, strong businesses, and useful educa­ tion” (Clay and Wright 2000, 207). Many of these congregations were mainline Protestant and Roman Catholic, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon)—strongly influenced by frontier realities—established and continues a strong emphasis on social services and the building of economic capacity within the body of faith.1 Other examples of economic activism in the American context include the commu­ nity organizing prompted by the Black Church after the Civil War; the strong appeal of credit unions among immigrant Roman Catholics 100 years ago; the mutual benefit societies, many of which became insurance companies, among immigrant Jews, Catholics, and Lutherans; and to some degree, the freed slaves and the businesses set up by Elijah Muhammad in the initial expression of the Nation of Islam in the early 20th century (Lincoln 1961).

  • Leon Sullivan's Fight Against Job Discrimination
    “Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work”: Leon Sullivan’s Fight Against Job Discrimination Giuliana Alleva Senior Individual Documentary Process Paper: 498 Words Alleva 2 Process Paper Despite living in Philadelphia, I did not know about the Civil Rights movements that originated in my city. When deciding on what topic I was going to research for this project, I knew I wanted to study a topic that was unique to the city I lived in, because I was interested in understanding the local history in Philadelphia. After briefly researching the Selective Patronage Campaign, one of Leon Sullivan’s projects, I became fascinated with the ways in which the black community was able to dimish the barrier of job discrimination through collective action. Leon Sullivan proved to be the perfect subject matter due to the wide array of projects he launched in Philadelphia, and his clear goal to diminish discrimination in the workplace. Due to the fact that Leon Sullivan did most of his work in Philadelphia, I had access to a vast amount of primary sources. I made several trips to the Special Collections Research Center at the Temple University Libraries where I was able to read newspaper articles about Leon Sullivan’s work, and I also found a plethora of images from their digital collections online. Furthermore, I read several books about Leon Sullivan’s work such as Up South by Matthew ​ ​ Countryman, The Problem of Jobs by Guian Mckee, and Build, Brother, Build, which was ​ ​ ​ ​ written by Leon Sullivan. Lasty, I had the privilege of conducting interviews with those who were involved with Leon Sullivan’s projects, such as Ms.
