  • Nuala Kelly 1 December 2015
    The Early Days of the ICPO A Personal Reflection Nuala Kelly 1 December 2015 Introduction As I prepared lunch for family down for the All Ireland last September, Gerry McFlynn (London ICPO) rang to ask if I would give an input at a conference to celebrate 30 years of ICPO’s work. I was honoured to be asked but suggested he approach more eloquent and central players who could speak about the history of the service. Anyway, 1 Dec seemed a long way off; Gerry said to think about it, but with his usual tenacity, was not easily fobbed off, so here I go and hope to do justice to the founders of the ICPO service, Anastasia Crickley, Breda Slattery and PJ Byrne of IECE with the support of Bobby Gilmore of the Irish Chaplaincy. It was they who faced the challenging task of responding to the courageous voice of Sr Sarah Clarke, who spoke at an IECE conference in 1983 and called on the Irish Bishops to offer pastoral support to the families of prisoners as they tried to locate family members in prisons the length and breadth of England. Anastasia and Breda with PJ’s support convened a meeting of key people and, in advance of its time before the term ‘evidence based approach’ was coined, Stasia carried out research into the needs of families with a relative imprisoned abroad - from England to USA and France to Thailand. Based on the evidence, a clear need existed for a structured service to respond to needs that were emerging in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

  • By Albert Turner, Jr. Turner, Jr. Oppose Renaming the Edmund
    By Albert Turner, Jr. Turner, Jr. Oppose Renaming the Edmund Pettus Bridge As the son of Albert Turner, Sr. one of the leaders of the Bloody Sunday March, I oppose the renaming the Edmund Pettus Bridge. People don't come to Selma to see Edmund Pettus. Nor do they come to glorified him. Former Congressman John Lewis didn't call the Bloody Sunday March. To introduce a local Bill to say only the people of Dallas County should have a vote on renaming the Bridge is an insult to all those other Black-Belt counties residents who came to risk their lives for the right to vote on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965. Some people in Selma have altered enough history about Bloody Sunday and they were not there. It troubles me how the movie "Selma " and other profiteers have distorted the voting rights movement. Ms. Oprah Winfrey did acknowledge the fact the movie was not a documentary, it was fiction. However, others keep trying to alter history that they didn't make," Dallas County residents did not make up a tenth of the people on the bridge on Bloody Sunday. My father who was there shared the accurate account of that historic day. He informed me on a number of occasions that they were scared, and that Dr. King told them not to go forward with the march. The fear that people would be killed because they could not protect them from the mob of Alabama State Troopers that were on hand. They were not there to be famous; they were there fighting for the rights of African Americans to have voting rights and to protest the killing of Jimmie Lee Jackson.

  • The Freedom Rides of 1961
    The Freedom Rides of 1961 “If history were a neighborhood, slavery would be around the corner and the Freedom Rides would be on your doorstep.” ~ Mike Wiley, writer & director of “The Parchman Hour” Overview Throughout 1961, more than 400 engaged Americans rode south together on the “Freedom Rides.” Young and old, male and female, interracial, and from all over the nation, these peaceful activists risked their lives to challenge segregation laws that were being illegally enforced in public transportation throughout the South. In this lesson, students will learn about this critical period of history, studying the 1961 events within the context of the entire Civil Rights Movement. Through a PowerPoint presentation, deep discussion, examination of primary sources, and watching PBS’s documentary, “The Freedom Riders,” students will gain an understanding of the role of citizens in shaping our nation’s democracy. In culmination, students will work on teams to design a Youth Summit that teaches people their age about the Freedom Rides, as well as inspires them to be active, engaged community members today. Grade High School Essential Questions • Who were the key players in the Freedom Rides and how would you describe their actions? • Why do you think the Freedom Rides attracted so many young college students to participate? • What were volunteers risking by participating in the Freedom Rides? • Why did the Freedom Rides employ nonviolent direct action? • What role did the media play in the Freedom Rides? How does media shape our understanding

  • A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960
    A “Laboratory of Learning”: A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960 Sharon G. Pierson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Sharon G. Pierson All rights reserved ABSTRACT A “Laboratory of Learning”: A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960 Sharon G. Pierson In the first half of the twentieth century in the segregated South, Black laboratory schools began as “model,” “practice,” or “demonstration” schools that were at the heart of teacher training institutions at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Central to the core program, they were originally designed to develop college-ready students, demonstrate effective teaching practices, and provide practical application for student teachers. As part of a higher educational institution and under the supervision of a college or university president, a number of these schools evolved to “laboratory” high schools, playing a role in the development of African American education beyond their own local communities. As laboratories for learning, experimentation, and research, they participated in major cooperative studies and hosted workshops. They not only educated the pupils of the lab school and the student teachers from the institution, but also welcomed visitors from other high schools and colleges with a charge to influence Black education. A case study of Alabama State College Laboratory School, 1920-1960, demonstrates the evolution of a lab high school as part of the core program at an HBCU and its distinctive characteristics of high graduation and college enrollment rates, well-educated teaching staff, and a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum.

    THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: ARCHIVAL APPROACHES TO CIVIL RIGHTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE AMERICAN SOUTH by James King B.A., Samford University, 2006 M.L.I.S., University of Alabama, 2007 M.A., Boston College, 2009 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of School of Computing and Information in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2018 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH SCHOOL OF COMPUTING AND INFORMATION This dissertation was presented by James King It was defended on November 16, 2017 and approved by Dr. Sheila Corrall, Professor, Library and Information Science Dr. Andrew Flinn, Reader in Archival Studies and Oral History, Information Studies, University College London Dr. Alison Langmead, Associate Professor, Library and Information Science Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Richard J. Cox, Professor, Library and Information Science ii Copyright © by James King 2018 iii THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: ARCHIVAL APPROACHES TO CIVIL RIGHTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE AMERICAN SOUTH James King, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2018 When police and counter-protesters broke up the first march of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) in August 1968, activists sang the African American spiritual, “We Shall Overcome” before disbanding. The spiritual, so closely associated with the earlier civil rights struggle in the United States, was indicative of the historical and material links shared by the movements in Northern Ireland and the American South. While these bonds have been well documented within history and media studies, the relationship between these regions’ archived materials and contemporary struggles remains largely unexplored. While some artifacts from the movements—along with the oral histories and other materials that came later—remained firmly ensconced within the archive, others have been digitally reformatted or otherwise repurposed for a range of educational, judicial, and social projects.

  • 3 Failure, Guilt, Confession, Redemption? Revisiting
    Journal of Psychosocial Studies Volume 10, Issue 1, May 2017 Failure, guilt, confession, redemption? Revisiting unpublished research through a psychosocial lens MARCUS FREE Abstract This article offers some critical reflections on a case of failure to bring a qualitative research project to completion and publication earlier in the author’s career. Possible explanations are considered in light of insights derived from the ‘psychosocial’ turn in qualitative research associated particularly with Hollway and Jefferson’s Doing Qualitative Research Differently (2001/2013). The project was an interview-based study of the life experiences of middle aged and older Irish emigrants in England, conducted in the late 1990s in Birmingham and Manchester. The article considers the failure as a possible psychic defence against the anxiety that completion and publication would be a betrayal of the interviewees, many of whom described experiences distressing to themselves and the interviewer. The psychoanalytic concepts of ‘transference’ and ‘countertransference’ are used to speculate as to the role of the unconscious at work in the interview encounters and how, despite class and generational differences, psychodynamic fantasies relating to both interviewees’ and interviewer’s migration histories and experiences may have impacted upon each other. Introduction Many researchers leave unfinished projects behind them and experience varying degrees of regret and uncertainty as to the reasons for reluctance or inability to bring the research to fruition. This article concerns a qualitative research project from earlier in my career that never reached completion and remains a source of guilt and shame for me. It revisits the research critically using a psychosocial lens in an attempt to identify and consider the possible underlying reasons for this failure.

  • The Abbhs Newsletter Alabama Bench and Ba R Historical Society
    May—June 2021 THE ABBHS NEWSLETTER ALABAMA BENCH AND BA R HISTORICAL SOCIETY From The President When, in 1993, my staff and I were called upon to prepare a plan for a judicial history program for the new Judicial Building, a whole new world was opened to me. A world that I previously did not know existed. In that world, Alabama was first, not last: in that world, Alabama's first constitution was a model for the Nation; in that world, Alabama adopted the first code of ethics for lawyers in the United States which, like the 1819 Constitution, became a model for the Nation; in that world, Alabama's Supreme Court was considered "long the ranking Supreme Court in the South”; and, in that world, Alabama's court system, under the leadership of Chief Justice Howell Heflin, became the most modern in America. These facts are seldom remembered in Alabama history textbooks, yet their impact on Alabama were tremen- dous. Twenty-eight years later, we are still exploring and discovering our legal history and trying to understand where we came from, how we got there, and where we are going next. As Robert Penn Warren said, "History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and of our common humanity, so that we can better face the future." So, as a step toward this self- understanding, I invite you to join the Alabama Bench and Bar Historical Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the history of Inside This Issue: the state's judicial and legal system and to making the citizens of the state more knowledgeable about the state's courts and their place in Alabama and United States history.
