Budgets continue to shrink, and even as libraries are expected to stay on top of the galloping array of new electronic gadgets and resources, there are decreasing dollars for buying those old-style print items (books and journals) that form the heart of our knowledge base. Full-text databases (such as Women 'R' and Contemporary Women's Issues, in both of which Feminist CoZZections is pleased to be included) are intriguing because they offer the ability to search through the text of articles, not just titles and subject headings; and, of course, the articles are right there, not three floors away or in another building.

  • Journalism, Racial Violence, and Political Control in Postbellum North Carolina
    ABSTRACT BENTON, ANDREW MORGAN. The Press and the Sword: Journalism, Racial Violence, and Political Control in Postbellum North Carolina. (Under the direction of Dr. Susanna Lee.) Political tension characterized North Carolina in the decades after the Civil War, and the partisan press played a critical role for both parties from the 1860s through the turn of the twentieth century: Republican papers praised the reforms of biracial Republican legislatures while Democratic editors harped on white fears of “negro rule” and black sexual predation. This study analyzes the relationship between press, politics, and violence in postbellum North Carolina through case studies of the 1870 Kirk-Holden War and the so-called Wilmington Race Riot of 1898. My first chapter argues that the Democratic press helped exacerbate the Kirk-Holden War by actively mocking black political aspirations, criticizing Republican leaders such as Holden, and largely ignoring the true nature and scope of the Klan in the 1860s. My second chapter argues that rhetoric played a crucial role in the way the violence in Wilmington transpired and has been remembered, and my conclusion discusses the ways that the press manipulated the public’s historical memory of both tragedies. It is not my intention to argue direct causation between racist rhetoric and racial crimes. Rather, I argue that North Carolina’s partisan press, and especially its Democratic editors, exacerbated pre-existing racial tensions and used images and language to suggest modes of thought—defense of white womanhood, for example—by which white supremacists directed and legitimized violence.

  • 2019 Education Curriculum Guide
    Tennessee Academic Standards 2019 EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Celebrates Memphis in 2019 For the fi rst time in its 43-year history, Memphis in May breaks with tradition to make the City of Memphis and Shelby County the year-long focus of its annual salute. Rather than another country, the 2019 Memphis in May Festival honors Memphis and Shelby County as both celebrate their bicentennials and the start of a new century for the city and county. Memphis has changed the world and will continue to change the world. We are a city of doers, dreamers, and believers. We create, we invent, we experiment; and this year, we invite the world to experience our beautiful home on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Bluff City…Home of the Blues, Soul, and Rock & Roll…a city where “Grit and Grind” are more than our team’s slogan, they’re who we are: determined, passionate, authentic, soulful, unstoppable. With more than a million residents in its metro area, the City of Memphis is a city of authenticity and diversity where everyone is welcomed. While some come because of its reputation as a world-renown incubator of talent grown from its rich musical legacy, Memphis draws many to its leading hospital and research systems, putting Memphis at the leading edge of medical and bioscience innovation. Situated nearly in the middle of the United States at the crossroads of major interstates, rail lines, the world’s second-busiest cargo airport, and the fourth-largest inland port on the Mississippi River, Memphis moves global commerce as the leader in transportation and logistics.

  • Annotated Highlights from the Memphis Diary of Ida B. Wells
    Gundlah 1 Annotated Highlights from the Memphis Diary of Ida B. Wells Edited by Hope Campbell Gundlah Presented as part of a Dramaturgy Undergraduate Research Fellowship at the Court Theatre University of Chicago Under the advising of Nora Titone, Resident Dramaturg of the Court Theatre WinterSpring 2020 Gundlah 2 A Summary It is perhaps because Ida B. Wells’s accomplishments were so numerous and various, that she has largely faded from American cultural consciousness today. Her contributions to the early civil rights movement and the women’s suffrage movement made her, during her time, an internationally famous figure. Born into slavery in Mississippi in 1862, Wells began working as a schoolteacher. In 1883, Wells was commuting to school via train and took her usual seat in the ladies’ car when she was ordered to move; though trains did not yet have official “Jim Crow” cars for passengers of color, Black passengers were expected to sit in the dirty smoking car. When Wells refused to move, she was dragged from the car by the conductor and several other men while white passengers applauded. Wells successfully sued the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in the circuit court, but railroad successfully appealed the verdict in the state supreme court. Wells’s accounts of the incident sparked her career in journalism and activism. She continued teaching while writing as a regular correspondent for numerous Black newspapers throughout the country. Eventually, she became co-owner of the Memphis Free Speech newspaper. Wells embarked on an investigative journalism tour of the South in the 1890s; her outspoken, honest reporting led an enraged white mob to burn down her newspaper office, but it also culminated in her famous Red Record, a collection of accounts and statistics regarding post- Civil-War lynchings.

After emancipation, their activisms focused on alleviating the critical issues facing the black community which included, but were not limited to, the fights for civil, political, and equal rights, and against racism and discrimination. The struggles for women’s rights and suffrage were important causes to African American women, but were not first and foremost on their agendas. There were significant issues that afflicted black women and the black community that took precedence. This thesis will identify those pressing issues and will focus on just three – Harriet Tubman, Fannie Barrier Williams, and Ida B.
