Saharczewski; tel. 413.597.2242 Email: [email protected] Introduction If one had to select one historical personality within the period 1940 to 1975 who best represented and reflected black urban life, politics, and culture in the United States, it would be extremely difficult to find someone more central than the charismatic figure of Malcolm X/El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925, and growing up in the Midwest, young Malcolm Little was the child of political activists who supported the militant black nationalist movement of Marcus Garvey. After his father’s violent death and his mother’s subsequent institutionalization due to mental illness, Little was placed in foster care and for a time in a youth detention facility. At age sixteen he left school, relocating to Boston upon the invitation of his older half-sister, Ella Little. During World War II, the zoot-suited “Detroit Red” became a small-time hustler, burglar, and narcotics dealer in Harlem and Roxbury. In January 1946, Little was arrested for burglary and weapons possession charges, and received a ten-year sentence in the Massachusetts prison system. -

CHARITY WESTERN NEW ENGLAND LAW REVIEW Volume 36 2014 Number 2 SYMPOSIUM BUILDING THE ARC OF JUSTICE: THE LIFE AND LEGAL THOUGHT OF DERRICK BELL MATTHEW H. CHARITY* I know you are asking today, “How long will it take?” Somebody’s asking, “How long will prejudice blind the visions of men, darken their understanding, and drive bright-eyed wisdom from her sacred throne?” Somebody’s asking, “When will wounded justice, lying prostrate on the streets of Selma and Birmingham and communities all over the South, be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men?” Somebody’s asking, “When will the radiant star of hope be plunged against the nocturnal bosom of this lonely night, plucked from weary souls with chains of fear and the manacles of death? How long will justice be crucified, and truth bear it?” I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because “truth crushed to earth will rise again.” * Associate Professor of Law, Western New England University School of Law. -
“Malcolm X – Old and New” – Sunday, February 3, 2013
“Malcolm X – Old and New” Sunday, February 3, 2013 Rev. Bruce Southworth, Senior Minister The Community Church of New York Unitarian Universalist Readings (1) Manning Marable was a Professor of History, Public Affairs and African American Studies at Columbia University and a friend of our church attending a variety of community issue-oriented events over the years. He had severe lung disease, received a double-lung transplant in 2010, with what he called a “full recovery.” Sadly, he died in the spring of 2011 from pneumonia, a few days before the publication of his Pulitzer Prize winning biography: Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention. Manning Marable had been struck over the years by various inconsistencies and omissions in the vastly popular Autobiography of Malcolm X published in 1965. He saw the need for a scholar’s history of his life and ideological development, of the details of his involvement with the Nation of Islam and the reasons for his leaving, and of his travels to Africa and the Middle East in the last year of his life… a need for all this, plus an understanding Malcolm X’s spiritual journey. Manning Marable concludes this magnificent detailed biography: Malcolm’s strength was his ability to reinvent himself, in order to function and even thrive in a wide variety of environments…. (p. 479) Malcolm’s person journey of self-discovery, the quest for God, led him toward peace and away from violence. But there is one more legacy that may shape the memory of Malcolm: the politics of radical humanism…ff. (and in James Baldwin’s estimation) “that’s the truth about Malcolm: he was one of the gentlest people I have ever met.” A deep respect for, and a belief in black humanity was at the heart of this revolutionary visionary‘s faith. -
Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color
The Community-Building Project: Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color Joseph Erasto Jaramillot INTRODUCTION As people of color continue to face racial and socioeconomic subordination in this country, one wonders when, if ever, the "elusive quest for racial justice"' will end. Intellectuals dedicated to the pursuit of racial justice have focused their work on unmasking the operation of racism and white privilege and recognizing the perspectives of the oppressed. One central insight of this approach is the need to take race into account when analyzing the application of supposedly "race neutral" but so often racially discriminatory criteria. This strategy provides a theoretical basis for transforming society's view of racism and race relations. However, until the dominant culture becomes genuinely receptive to these ideas, communities of color will continue to suffer.2 Indeed, current political discourse adds fuel Copyright 0 1996 by Joseph Jaramillo. t Joseph Erasto Jaramillo received his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), and his B.A. from the University of California at Davis. He is currently a staff attorney at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) in San Francisco. He completed this Comment before he joined MALDEF. He would like to thank Professor Jerome McCristal Culp, Jr., of Duke University School of Law for his insight, former La Raza Law Journal Co- Editor-in-Chief Robert Salinas for his assistance and support, and Susana Martinez and Robby Mockler for their helpful editing and feedback. This Comment is dedicated to the committed gente of La Raza Law Students Association at Boalt Hall and all other schools, who give true meaning to the word "community." 1. -

To the Bone: Race and White Privilege Jerome McCristal Culp, Jr.t PROLOGUE Toni Morrison once explained how deeply meaning can be buried in a text. She was asked where in the text of her novel, Beloved, Sethe killed the baby. She answered the questioner by replying confidently that it had happened in a particular chapter, but when she went to look for it there she-the author-could not find it. Meanings can be difficult even for the authors of a text. The same thing is true for the texts written by the multiple authors of a movement. What did we mean and where is a particular event or idea located? These are questions that are difficult for any one person, even someone who, like myself, has at least been a participant in the writing of the text. There may be meanings-unintended meanings-that we who participate are not aware of and it is important to ferret them out. -

CHICAN@ SOCIOGENICS, CHICAN@ LOGICS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHICAN@ PHILOSOPHY: RUPTURING THE BLACK-WHITE BINARY AND WESTERN ANTI-LATIN@ LOGIC A Dissertation by ANDREW CHRISTOPHER SOTO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Tommy Curry Committee Members, Gregory Pappas Amir Jaima Marlon James Head of Department, Theodore George May 2018 Major Subject: Philosophy Copyright 2018 Andrew Christopher Soto ABSTRACT The aim of this project is to create a conceptual blueprint for a Chican@ philosophy. I argue that the creation of a Chican@ philosophy is paramount to liberating Chican@s from the imperial and colonial grip of the Western world and their placement in a Black-white racial binary paradigm. Advancing the philosophical and legal insight of Critical Race Theorists and LatCrit scholars Richard Delgado and Juan Perea, I show that Chican@s are physically, psychologically and institutionally threatened and forced by gring@s to assimilate and adopt a racist Western system of reason and logic that frames U.S. institutions within a Black-white racial binary where Chican@s are either analogized to Black suffering and their historical predicaments with gring@s or placed in a netherworld. In the netherworld, Chican@s are legally, politically and socially constructed as gring@s to uphold the Black-white binary and used as pawns to meet the interests of racist gring@s. Placing Richard Delgado and Juan Perea’s work in conversation with pioneering Chican@ intellectuals Octavio I. Romano-V, Nicolas C. -
