  • JACK JOHNSON, MUHAMMAD All, and THE
    ABSTRACT HISTORY WOOD, AUGUSTUS C. B.A. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, 2007 THE SIXTH FINGER: JACK JOHNSON, MUHAMMAD ALl, AND THE UNCONSCIOUS RACE HERO IN SPORTS Committee Chair: Richard A. Morton, Ph.D. Thesis dated December 2012 This study examines both the mentality of black race heroes in American sporting history and the surrounding atmospheric influences on personality, mentality, masculinity, and global perspective on said heroes, using the case studies of iconic boxers Jack Johnson and Muhammad Au as the primary focus. This study was based on the premise that both boxers initiated a conscious effort of racial pride, black agency, and global hegemony through their consistent success both inside and outside the ring. The researcher found that in almost blind adoration, African Americans chose two unconscious, self-righteous, and raceless blacks who utilized their gifted abilities as boxers to only capture full masculinity in the forms of wealth and power. In response to their considerable inferior treatment at the hands of the majority, blacks actively sought dominant representations of success and defiance of the norms to carry their dreams of black pride. However, both Jack Johnson and Muhammad Ali repeatedly rejected their anointed statuses of “race men” for the chance at true wealth and power in the commercialization and exploitation 1 of their masculinity. In addition, the background environments of both figures are essential to the true analysis of the mentality and perception of the boxers. The conclusions drawn from the finding suggest that both individuals rejected their hometown communities’ ideals of agency and activism and instead opted to embrace the more lucrative ideals of independence (Johnson and Galveston) and interdependence (Ali and Louisville).

  • The Black Economic Union DISSERTATION Presented In
    You Can’t Have Black Power without Green Power: The Black Economic Union DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Anthony Bennett III Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Leslie Marie Alexander, Advisor Hasan Kwame Jeffries Samuel Russell Hodge Copyright by Robert Anthony Bennett III 2013 Abstract Alongside the call for “Black Power,” which became prominent in the late 1960s, numerous African American scholars and activists also promoted “Green Power;” the belief that Blacks needed to become involved in the economic infrastructure of America in order to improve their lives and their communities. This dissertation will add to the historical discourse on the Civil Rights/Black Power era, by exploring a lesser-known Black political strategy; namely, the endorsement of capitalism as a means of Black liberation. This study focuses on the Negro Industrial and Economic Union (NIEU), later renamed the Black Economic Union (BEU), which was founded in the 1966. The BEU was a body of African American professional athletes who had three objectives: to use the finances of African Americans collectively for the benefit of all, to assemble loans with special attention to the interest rates for Blacks in business and industry, and to establish clinics and workshops that would provide guidance and education centers for African American youth. Although economic empowerment did not initially appear as threatening as other forms of Black Nationalism that were circulating during this era, the BEU ultimately found itself at the center of a political and media firestorm.

    H H AN AMERICANALI CHAMPION By Barry Denenberg HC: 9781481401418 • Ebook: 9781481401432 Background/Summary Muhammad Ali is considered by many to be among the all-time greatest heavyweight boxers. After winning a 1960 Olympic gold medal, he went on to become the only three-time world heavyweight-boxing champion. But that is only part of his story. Muhammad Ali is a man known for his magnetic personality, his stand on religious freedom, his opposition to the war in Vietnam, and his loyalty to America. Author Barry Denenberg allows the reader to experience the development of Ali’s impressive career as it happened. Denenberg’s goal is to show us the controversial aspects of Ali’s life that have become buried in legend that now surrounds him. Ali: An American Champion is designed to transport the reader back in time; to provide a sense of immediacy and recreate a feeling of being present at the creation of Cassius Clay becoming Muhammad Ali—the catalyst of and target for heated and diverse opinions. To achieve that goal, Denenberg presented well-researched material—articles in newspapers and periodicals, “man-on-the street” interviews, letters to the editor, and “breaking news” announcements. This material clearly shows how Ali transformed himself and ultimately transformed the public’s view of him. Ali: An American Champion also provides information about the historical context in which Muhammad Ali grew and developed—the Civil Rights Movement and the war in Vietnam. In addition, readers experience a satisfying ending to the book as Ali lights the Olympic flame in 1996, an act that former President Clinton said moved him to tears.
