The Hedgeman Center continues to report to Poonam Arora, Associate Vice President for Diversity Integration. Carlos, Bao, Trung, Tia, Keisha, Caite, Shawyn, Jesada Anna Arnold was born on July 5, 1899 in Marshalltown, Minnesota. When Anna was a child, her family moved to Anoka, Minnesota where they were the only black family in the community. Her father created a home environment that prioritized education and a strong work ethic. Young Anna learned how to read at home and was not allowed to attend school until she was seven years old. After graduating from high school in 1918, Arnold was accepted into Hamline Univer- sity, a Methodist college in St. Paul, Minnesota. She graduated four years later with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, the first American graduate of color to earn a degree at Hamline University. While at Hamline, Arnold heard Dr. W.E.B. DuBois give an address and was inspired to become an educator. Unable to complete her student teaching requirements in St. Paul, Anna taught English to first-year students at Hamline. Immediately after graduation, Arnold accepted a teaching position at Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi, the oldest of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. She taught English and history there for two years. While in Mississippi she experienced racial segregation and discrimination for the first time, which led to her later involvement in the civil rights movement. In 1924, Arnold left Holly Springs to begin a career with the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA). Between 1924-1938 she was executive director of YWCA facilities in Springfield (Ohio), Jersey City (New Jersey), Harlem (New York), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and Brooklyn (New York). In 1936, Arnold married Merritt A. Hedgeman, an opera and folk music performer. In 1944 Anna Arnold Hedgeman was appointed to be the Executive Director of the National Committee for a Permanent Fair Employment Practices Commission. She also served briefly as Assistant Dean of Women at Howard University, as a Public Relations Consultant for Fuller Products Company, and as the Associate Editor and Columnist for the New York Age. In 1948, she worked on the Harry Truman Presidential campaign. From 1954 to 1958, Anna Arnold Hedgeman served in the cabinet of New York Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Jr. and was the first black woman to hold that position. By the early 1960s, Hedgeman was well-respected as a civic leader and helped A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin plan the 1963 March on Washington, which brought over 250,000 people to the nation's capital. As the Coordinator of Special Events for the Commission of Religion and Race of the National Council of Churches, Hedgeman recruited over 40,000 Protestants who participated in the August 28, 1963 march. It was at this momentous occasion that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. By the 1970s, Hedgeman was a frequent lecturer at historically black colleges and universities in the U.S. She also wrote two books about her life's work: The Trumpet Sounds (1964), and The Gift of Chaos (1977). Both Howard University and Hamline University have awarded Hedgeman honorary doctor degrees. Anna Arnold Hedgeman passed away on January 17, 1990. In addition to the Center for Student Diversity Initiatives and Programs (formerly MISA), Hamline University also awards an endowed scholarship which bears Anna Arnold Hedgeman’s name. Excerpt from the Senior Address given by Susun Xiong: “Each and every one of us has a Hamline story that is unique to our experiences. Our Hamline story has shaped who we are today. It has cultivated our growth, expanded our perspectives, provided us with the opportunities to make life-long friendships, and strengthened our community of color on and off campus… The college experience is a process, similar to obtaining a tattoo….” “To others, my tattoos are simply ink forever imbedded in my skin and my Hamline degree is nothing more than a piece of cardstock paper symbolizing a college degree. However, to me, my tattoos and my personal Hamline experi- ence are an integral part of who I am and who I will be…” “These experiences will not only eternally live with me, but will serve as a reminder of how Hamline has molded me into a more socially conscious version of who I was always meant to be. This experience has transformed my thinking in ways I simply cannot begin to describe. It is because of Hamline, that I have discovered my passion for borderless love and justice for all and my voice that is often unapologetic and filled with joy. I love that new meaning is created when I look at my tattoos and reflect on my time at Hamline. I hope all of you will also take the time to reflect on your Hamline experience and discover new meaning that deeply represent you as an individual, and you as a person, who too, is intricately tied to a larger community….” Barbara Simmons Pat Paterson Endowed Merv Meyers-Jeff Nash “Eagle” Award Prize in Leadership Scholarship Susun Xiong Mikaela Fisher Caite Eilenberg 3 HEDGEMAN HONORS & AWARDS RECIPIENTS Outstanding First-Year Award Leavy Oliver Director’s Award Kevin Yang & Yakasah Wehyee Jesada Moua & Alba Romero Outstanding Sophomore Award Outstanding Ally Award Salisa Grant Jozie Nummi Outstanding Junior Award Outstanding Staff Award Trung Le Nguyen Javier Gutierrez Outstanding Senior Award Outstanding Staff Award Cat Polivoda Jean Strait 4 Multicultural Alliance Student Organization of-the-Year Hmong Student Association 5 STUDENT ACITIVITIES & UNDERGRADUATE LEADERSHIP AWARDS HONORS DAY Wednesday, May 4, 2011 Wednesday, May 5, 2011 Student Center HUB; 7:00 PM Hamline Methodist Church: 10:30 AM The Student Activities Awards provides Raygor Scholarship Lisa Fralish an opportunity for students to be recognized for their contributions to James Thatcher Ritchie, Jr. Award Maggie Briggs‐Dineen the Hamline community through involvement in co‐curricular activities George Wesley Linares Scholarship including student organizations, Melissa Simington leadership development program Management Alumni Award and campus events.

  • The Unknown Origins of the March on Washington: Civil Rights Politics and the Black Working Class
    The Unknown Origins of the March on Washington: Civil Rights Politics and the Black Working Class William P. Jones The very decade which has witnessed the decline of legal Jim Crow has also seen the rise of de facto segregation in our most fundamental socioeconomic institutions,” vet- eran civil rights activist Bayard Rustin wrote in 1965, pointing out that black work- ers were more likely to be unemployed, earn low wages, work in “jobs vulnerable to automation,” and live in impoverished ghettos than when the U.S. Supreme Court banned legal segregation in 1954. Historians have attributed that divergence to a nar- rowing of African American political objectives during the 1950s and early 1960s, away from demands for employment and economic reform that had dominated the agendas of civil rights organizations in the 1940s and later regained urgency in the late 1960s. Jacquelyn Dowd Hall and other scholars emphasize the negative effects of the Cold War, arguing that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and other civil rights organizations responded to domestic anticom- munism by distancing themselves from organized labor and the Left and by focusing on racial rather than economic forms of inequality. Manfred Berg and Adam Fair- clough offer the more positive assessment that focusing on racial equality allowed civil rights activists to appropriate the democratic rhetoric of anticommunism and solidify alliances with white liberals during the Cold War, although they agree that “anti- communist hysteria retarded the struggle for racial justice and narrowed the political Research for this article was supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities/Newhouse Fellowship at the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Graduate School at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

After all, the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” was the march’s official name, though with the passage of time, “for Jobs and Freedom” has tended to fade. ; The march was the brainchild of longtime labor leader A.

Previous studies of founder Mary McLeod Bethune’s internationalism has highlighted her prominent role in this arena primarily through the United Nations, as well as the ways NCNW carried this legacy through their efforts to build relationships with women across the diaspora. But beyond highlighting their activism and the connections they made, the substance and meaning of these relationships as the Cold War and African independence introduced new political terrain has been underexplored. Africa’s prominence on the world stage by the late 1950s reinvigorated the need for Black diaspora activists to strengthen their relationships on the continent. Toward this end, NCNW leaders such Dorothy Ferebee, Vivian Mason, Dorothy Height forged connections with their counterparts across the Atlantic. African women such as Ghana’s Mabel Dove and Evelyn ii Amarteifio, Tanzania’s Lucy Lameck, among numerous others played critical roles within their respective independence movements.
