May 2016 This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context ABSTRACT Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development. Although there has been an African American presence in Saint Paul for more than 150 years, adequate research has not been completed to account for and protect sites with significance to the community. One of the objectives outlined in the City of Saint Paul’s 2009 Historic Preservation Plan is the development of historic contexts “for the most threatened resource types and areas,” including immigrant and ethnic communities (City of Saint Paul 2009:12). The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project (Context Study) was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.

Thirteen-year-old Mary Beth Tinker wavered on the idea of wearing a black armband to Warren Harding Junior High School in Des Moines, Iowa on December 16, 1965. But with the media providing graphic visual and audio reports on the United States' involvement in Vietnam, Mary Beth had developed strong feelings on the issue.

  • Edna Griffin and the Katz Drug Store Desegregation Movement" Essay from the Annals of Iowa, 2008
    “Since it is my right, I would like to have it: Edna Griffin and the Katz Drug Store Desegregation Movement" Essay from The Annals of Iowa, 2008 Since it is my right, I would like to have it: Edna Griffin and the Katz Drug Store Desegregation Movement Noah Lawrence Hinsdale Central High School ON JULY 7, 1948, sometime between 2:30 and 5:00 p.m., Edna Griffin, age 39; her infant daughter, Phyllis; John Bibbs, age 22; and Leonard Hudson, age 32, entered Katz Drug Store at the intersection of 7th and Locust streets in Des Moines. While Hudson went to look for some batteries, Griffin and Bibbs took seats at the lunch counter, and a waitress came shortly to take their order. The two African Americans ordered ice cream sundaes, but as the waitress walked toward the ice cream dispenser, a young white man came and whispered a message into her ear. The waitress returned to Griffin and Bibbs and informed the pair that she was not allowed to serve them, because of their race. By that time Hudson had finished purchasing a set of batteries and rejoined his companions. The three adults asked to see the waitress’s supervisor, and she obliged, summoning the young fountain manager, C. L. Gore, a 22-year-old who had come north from Florida just two years earlier. The tenor of that exchange would later be disputed: Griffin, Bibbs, and Hudson claimed that the conversation was hushed and polite; Gore said that the three black patrons were causing a disturbance. What is not disputed is that Griffin and Hudson were unsuccessful in getting any ice cream that day, despite appealing to store manager Maurice Katz.

  • THE ANNALS of IOWA 67 (Fall 2008)
    The Annals of Volume 67, Number 4 Iowa Fall 2008 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue DEREK R. EVERETT offers a full account of the “border war” between Iowa and Missouri from 1839 to 1849, expanding the focus beyond the usual treatment of the laughable events of the “Honey War” in 1839 to illustrate the succession of events that led up to that conflict, its connection to broader movements in regional and national history, and the legal and social consequences of the controversy. Derek R. Everett teaches history at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. NOAH LAWRENCE tells the story of Edna Griffin and her struggle to desegregate the Katz Drug Store in Des Moines in 1948. His account re- veals that Griffin was a radical black activist who was outspoken through- out her life about the need for economic and racial justice, yet her legal strategy during the trial constructed her as a “respectable” middle-class mother rather than as a firebrand activist. Noah Lawrence is a high school history teacher at Hinsdale Central High School in Hinsdale, Illinois. Front Cover Protesters picket outside Katz Drug Store in Des Moines in 1948. Many of the signs connect the struggle for desegregation to the fight against Nazi Germany during World War II. For more on the struggle for desegregation in Des Moines, see Noah Lawrence’s article in this issue. This photograph, submitted as evidence in the Katz trial and folded into the abstract, was provided courtesy of the University of Iowa Law Library, Iowa City.

  • The Annals of Iowa Volume 69, Number 1
    The Annals of Volume 69, Number 1 Iowa Winter 2010 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue WILLIAM C. LOWE, dean and professor of history at Ashford Uni- versity in Clinton, Iowa, recounts the events surrounding the tour taken by Governor Cummins and other Iowa officials to dedicate Iowa’s new Civil War monuments at Andersonville and at the Civil War battlefield parks at Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and Shiloh. He also analyzes how the commemo- rations participated in prevailing ways of remembering the Civil War. BRUCE FEHN AND ROBERT JEFFERSON describe how the Des Moines chapter of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense emerged in 1968 out of African Americans’ efforts to survive and thrive under particular local conditions of racism, discrimination, and segregation. The authors conclude that the Black Panthers gave a radical shove to black politics but also drew on the support of traditional African American leaders and even some sympathetic members of the white community in Des Moines. Front Cover George Landers’s 55th Regimental Band, from Centerville, Iowa, poses in front of the Rossville Gap monument during the Civil War monument tour in 1906. (The drum logo still carried the band’s older designation as the 51st Regiment band. Iowa’s National Guard regiments were renumbered after federal service in the Spanish-American War, and the 51st became the 55th.) Landers is seated in the front row, fourth from the left (without in- strument). For more on the Civil War monument tour in 1906, see William Lowe’s article in this issue.

In particular, this research examines the creation of the segregated Army officer training camp, these men’s training and wartime experiences during World War I, and their post- war contributions fighting discrimination and injustice. These officers returned to America disillusioned with the nation’s progress towards civil rights. Their leadership roles in the military translated into leadership roles in the post-war civil rights movement.
