Diffendal 3 Allie Diffendal Professor Nwankwo Amer 294 Final 15 December 2009 Black Nashville in Print: A Case Study of African American Journalism in Nashville Today 1. Historical Context "We wish to plead our own cause. Too long have others spoken for us.” These fourteen words formed the opening editorial statement from the nation’s first African American newspaper, Freedoms Journal, in 1827 (Alexandre). Putting pen to paper and ink to press, the editors gave a “voice to the voiceless,” defined a collective community of “we,” and asserted the African American people’s right to speak for themselves. Since the founding issue of the African American press, each individual African American newspaper has begun much the same way-- with the desires to establish community, voice the interests of that community, and advocate progress within it. Black newspapers, Lovett states, “emerged as defensive and progressive tools to counter European American racism” (242). Indeed, the founding Freedoms Journal began as a means to aggressively fight slavery and advocate the rights of freed blacks (Alexandre). But, since its founding, the black press has also taken an offensive role, becoming a publisher of grievances, a political platform, and an educational instrument.

    THE CONTEMPORARY BLACK PRESS: AN EXPLORATORY QUALITATIVE STUDY OF JOURNALISTS’ PERCEIVED SHARED PROFESSIONAL VALUES, NEWSROOM COMMUNITY ROLE, AND SELF-EMPOWERMENT By EARLESHA T. BUTLER A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 Earlesha T. Butler This dissertation is dedicated to Yvonne M. Croston, a former director of the McNair Scholars Program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and an important influencer in a higher educational foundation. Additionally, she fought and believed in me and my ability to earn a Ph.D. when no one else did and gave me confidence to excel and attain academic achievement beyond my imagination. For these reasons, I honor her. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 1 Corinthians 15:10 states: “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” I am thankful for God’s divine order or plan for my life, which led me to this phase of my life, during which I was given an opportunity to earn a doctoral degree. I would like to thank all of my dissertation committee members: Drs. Bernell Tripp, Huan Chen, Jasmine McNealy, and Sharon Austin. Without your support and expertise, I would not have been able to successfully navigate the Ph.D. experience nor would I have been able to complete this dissertation.

  • The Black Economic Union DISSERTATION Presented In
    You Can’t Have Black Power without Green Power: The Black Economic Union DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Anthony Bennett III Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Leslie Marie Alexander, Advisor Hasan Kwame Jeffries Samuel Russell Hodge Copyright by Robert Anthony Bennett III 2013 Abstract Alongside the call for “Black Power,” which became prominent in the late 1960s, numerous African American scholars and activists also promoted “Green Power;” the belief that Blacks needed to become involved in the economic infrastructure of America in order to improve their lives and their communities. This dissertation will add to the historical discourse on the Civil Rights/Black Power era, by exploring a lesser-known Black political strategy; namely, the endorsement of capitalism as a means of Black liberation. This study focuses on the Negro Industrial and Economic Union (NIEU), later renamed the Black Economic Union (BEU), which was founded in the 1966. The BEU was a body of African American professional athletes who had three objectives: to use the finances of African Americans collectively for the benefit of all, to assemble loans with special attention to the interest rates for Blacks in business and industry, and to establish clinics and workshops that would provide guidance and education centers for African American youth. Although economic empowerment did not initially appear as threatening as other forms of Black Nationalism that were circulating during this era, the BEU ultimately found itself at the center of a political and media firestorm.
