  • Anti-Racism Resources
    Anti-Racism Resources Prepared for and by: The First Church in Oberlin United Church of Christ Part I: Statements Why Black Lives Matter: Statement of the United Church of Christ Our faith's teachings tell us that each person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and therefore has intrinsic worth and value. So why when Jesus proclaimed good news to the poor, release to the jailed, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed (Luke 4:16-19) did he not mention the rich, the prison-owners, the sighted and the oppressors? What conclusion are we to draw from this? Doesn't Jesus care about all lives? Black lives matter. This is an obvious truth in light of God's love for all God's children. But this has not been the experience for many in the U.S. In recent years, young black males were 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police than their white counterparts. Black women in crisis are often met with deadly force. Transgender people of color face greatly elevated negative outcomes in every area of life. When Black lives are systemically devalued by society, our outrage justifiably insists that attention be focused on Black lives. When a church claims boldly "Black Lives Matter" at this moment, it chooses to show up intentionally against all given societal values of supremacy and superiority or common-sense complacency. By insisting on the intrinsic worth of all human beings, Jesus models for us how God loves justly, and how his disciples can love publicly in a world of inequality.

  • 1 After Slavery & Reconstruction: the Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliogr
    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.

  • CAS Antiracist Curriculum Development Initiative
    The Antiracist Curriculum Development Initiative in the College of Arts and Sciences Universities can play a vital dual role in combatting racism as centers for research as well as key formative institutions in the lives of the next generation of engaged citizens and policymakers. Many faculty have asked how to do this better. Our students, too, have asked us for more courses that take an antiracist perspective. Indeed, the times demand it: as an intellectual issue, as an educational issue, and as a moral issue. Purpose of this Document Our students’ connections to one another and to our institution can be nourished and strengthened by their classroom experiences but can also be diminished and weakened. This document is intended to give faculty motivation, strategies, and resources to do the challenging work of making their pedagogy and praxis more inclusive and move toward antiracist ideals. For all faculty, this work involves self-reflection, humility, and a willingness to teach our students differently from how we were taught. The College proposes to lighten the workload involved in further developing our teaching by sharing the work. This initiative seeks an increase in the number of CAS courses that take an antiracist perspective in content and pedagogy. We already have many, a signal contribution to the university produced by the hard work of so many dedicated College faculty whose efforts we recognize and respect. While we unconditionally support faculty autonomy over their teaching and the principle of academic freedom, as a collective, we can do more to apply academic rigor to investigating structures of systemic racism and white supremacy in society and in our academic disciplines.

  • Combating Anti-Black Racism June 18, 2020
    Combating Anti-black Racism June 18, 2020 Harvard University has never been entirely insulated from the dynamism of life beyond its gates. If that was not crystal clear before now, it has certainly been clarified and amplified by the profound impact of both an unexpected virus and a set of unjust murders. We share in the anger and pain reverberating across the nation in the wake of the recent instances of police brutality, white supremacist violence, and the manner in which COVID-19 is devastating black and brown communities at disproportionate rates. It is deeply saddening to hear about the untimely and preventable deaths of George Floyd (Minnesota), Breonna Taylor (Kentucky), and Ahmaud Arbery (Georgia). Furthermore, the epidemic of violence involving those who are black and transgender continues to claim lives, among them Nina Pop (Missouri) and Tony McDade (Florida). We also witnessed the weaponization of whiteness that could have led one of our graduates, Christian Cooper (New York), to share a similar fate as those aforementioned. Days ago, another shocking video surfaced capturing the final moments of Rayshard Brooks (Atlanta). The 27-year-old’s death has spurred a fresh wave of anguish and protests. These incidents are not isolated, nor are they new phenomena. Not only are they common features of black life in America, but they are probably very present in the hearts and minds of our now dispersed Harvard community. And they will likely be top of mind when we all return to campus. We have a responsibility to act with urgency. We must reckon with the structural inequality and pervasive prejudice that has led us here and work towards a future where these disparities no longer exist.

  • The Charleston Syllabus
    Follen Responds to Racism Books about Racism in Follen’s Library The nine titles that follow are the initial purchases for a group of books for Follen’s library on racism, each carefully selected to form the core of the collection. If you have a book(s) that you would like to add to it, great! Please email [[email protected]] Follen Responds to Racism. Summary reviews of the books, taken from amazon.com, follow. The Charleston Syllabus: Readings on Race, Racism, and Racial Violence edited by Chad Williams, Kidada Williams, and Keisha Blain This thoroughly remarkable compendium of works about African-American life, edited by the three history professors who started the #CharlestonSyllabus Twitter hashtag, offers solid ground for the oft-requested national conversation about race. Their work firmly connects the dots among slavery, white terror organizations, the Confederate battle flag, and the murders of eight African-American Bible study members in Charleston, S.C., in 2015. … This solid offshoot of the original online syllabus (a blockbuster bibliographic tool that’s also included in this volume) is simply a must-read, both for those already versed in these topics and those just getting started. (Publishers Weekly starred review.) Uprooting Racism: How White People Can Work for Racial Justice by Paul Kivel, 3rd edition Uprooting Racism offers a framework for understanding institutional racism. It provides practical suggestions, tools, examples, and advice on how white people can intervene in interpersonal and organizational situations to work as allies for racial justice. Completely revised and updated, this expanded third edition directly engages the reader through questions, exercises, and suggestions for action, and takes a detailed look at current issues such as affirmative action, immigration, and health care.

  • DEAR MARTIN and DEAR JUSTYCE Photo © Nigel Livingstone
    CLASSROOM UNIT FOR DEAR MARTIN AND DEAR JUSTYCE Photo © Nigel Livingstone RHTeachersLibrarians.com @RHCBEducators TheRandomSchoolHouse Justyce McAllister is top of his class and set for the Ivy League— but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. And despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can’t escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates. Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out. Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up— way up—sparking the fury of a white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. Justyce and Manny are caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it’s Justyce who is under attack. Vernell LaQuan Banks and Justyce McAllister grew up a block apart in the southwest Atlanta neighborhood of Wynwood Heights. Years later, though, Justyce walks the illustrious halls of Yale University . and Quan sits behind bars at the Fulton Regional Youth Detention Center. Through a series of flashbacks, vignettes, and letters to Justyce—the protagonist of Dear Martin—Quan’s story takes form. Troubles at home and misunderstandings at school give rise to police encounters and tough decisions. But then there’s a dead cop and a weapon with Quan’s prints on it. What leads a bright kid down a road to a murder charge? Not even Quan is sure.
