It has been accepted for inclusion in Writing Program – Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary with emphasis on its civic and social rhetorical functions. The analysis focuses on the two week period leading up to the fiftieth anniversary and the dedication of the Brown v Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka. Data was gathered from various web sites related to the National Historic Site and the events in Topeka on the weekend it was dedicated, and from database records of national and international news sources. These materials were analyzed in three categories beginning with the Site itself and moving outward from Topeka to the national media response. The author argues that Brown functions in two ways that rival its function as law: first, as a tool of statecraft, a symbolic representation of America’s highest ideals around which community is built through epideictic performances; and second as a dialectic, a proposition around which there continues to be an asynchronous conversation on how to achieve, or continue to move toward, the promise of Brown.

  • The History of the NAACP
    The History of the NAACP Founded February 12, 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest, largest and most widely recognized grassroots–based civil rights organization. Its more than half-million members and supporters throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors. Founding group The NAACP was formed partly in response to the continuing horrific practice of lynching and the 1908 race riot in Springfield, the capital of Illinois and resting place of President Abraham Lincoln. Appalled at the violence that was committed against blacks, a group of white liberals that included Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard, both the descendants of abolitionists, William English Walling and Dr. Henry Moscowitz issued a call for a meeting to discuss racial justice. Some 60 people, seven of whom were African American (including W. E. B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Mary Church Terrell), signed the call, which was released on the Ovington and Villard centennial of Lincoln's birth. Other early members included Joel and Arthur Spingarn, Josephine Ruffin, Mary Talbert, Inez Milholland, Jane Addams, Florence Kelley, Sophonisba Breckinridge, John Haynes Holmes, Mary McLeod Bethune, George Henry White, Charles Edward Russell, John Dewey, William Dean Howells, Lillian Wald, Charles Darrow, Lincoln Steffens, Ray Stannard Baker, and Fanny Garrison Villard. Echoing the focus of Du Bois' Niagara Movement began in 1905, the NAACP's stated goal was to secure for all people the rights guaranteed in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution, which promised an end to slavery, the equal protection of the law, and universal adult male suffrage, W.E.B.

When a group of interracial progressives formed the NAACP in 1909, they optimistically envisioned the newly formed organization quickly raising a healthy annual budget. The New York Times quoted one of the NAACP’s founders, Oswald Garrison JULIAN BOND Villard, saying if we raise $1 million we’ll be on our way. Sadly, at year’s end, [ ] they had raised only $1140 and were $210 in debt. We’ve come a long, long way since then. While the NAACP has never been able to boast the multi-million dollar budgets of our adversaries, we’ve been able all these years to keep our doors open, our hard-working staff paid, and our hundreds of thousands of volunteers supplied with assistance and ideas about ways to effectively carry out our mission. We’ve been rewarded for the work we’ve done with enormously high favorability rates among all Americans. In June, ’07, the respected polling firm of Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates confirmed that our work is both valuable and valued. The NAACP has the highest favorability of 17 organizations working in the civil rights arena, viewed favorably by almost all blacks‚ 94 percent, including 70 percent who view it very favorably, and by three-quarters of the general public.
