Academic Program Journal a Century of Black Life History and Culture Centennial Annual Meeting and Conference Academic Program Journal A Century of Black Life History and Culture September 23-27, 2015 Sheraton Hotel Downtown • Atlanta, Georgia www.asalh.org Association for the Study of African American Life and History 2016 Call for Papers Hallowed Grounds: Sites of African American Memory 101st Annual Conference and Meeting October 4 – 9, 2016 Richmond Marriott, 500 East Broad Street Richmond, VA 23219 The history of African American unfolds across the canvass of America, beginning before the arrival of the Mayflower and continuing to the present. From port cities where Africans disembarked from slave ships to the battle fields where their descendants fought for freedom, from the colleges and universities where they have pursued education, to places where they created communities during centuries of migration, the imprint of Americans of African descent is deeply embedded in the narrative of the American past, insert comma and the sites prompt us to remember. Over time, many of these sites of African American memory became hallowed grounds. One cannot tell the story of America without preserving and reflecting on the places where African Americans have made history. The Kingsley Plantation, DuSable’s home site, the numerous stops along the Underground Railroad, Seneca Village, Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church and Frederick Douglass’ home — to name just a few — are sites that keep alive the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in our consciousness. They retain and refresh the memories of our forbearers’ struggles for freedom, justice, and God’s grace and mercy. Similarly, the hallowed grounds of Mary McLeod Bethune’s home in Washington, 125th Street in Harlem, Beale Street in Memphis, and Sweet Auburn Avenue in Atlanta tell the story of our struggle for equal citizenship during the American century. The National Park Service (NPS) takes responsibility for preserving and teaching about the places that have been central in the making of African American memory. Virtually every aspect of our experience has become part and parcel of the NPS mission, including the home of our founder, Carter G. Woodson. ASALH joins the National Park Service in celebrating a century of preserving the hallowed grounds of African Americans and all Americans.

  • Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963
    SUTTELL, BRIAN WILLIAM, Ph.D. Campus to Counter: Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963. (2017) Directed by Dr. Charles C. Bolton. 296 pp. This work investigates civil rights activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, in the early 1960s, especially among students at Shaw University, Saint Augustine’s College (Saint Augustine’s University today), and North Carolina College at Durham (North Carolina Central University today). Their significance in challenging traditional practices in regard to race relations has been underrepresented in the historiography of the civil rights movement. Students from these three historically black schools played a crucial role in bringing about the end of segregation in public accommodations and the reduction of discriminatory hiring practices. While student activists often proceeded from campus to the lunch counters to participate in sit-in demonstrations, their actions also represented a counter to businesspersons and politicians who sought to preserve a segregationist view of Tar Heel hospitality. The research presented in this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which ideas of academic freedom gave additional ideological force to the civil rights movement and helped garner support from students and faculty from the “Research Triangle” schools comprised of North Carolina State College (North Carolina State University today), Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many students from both the “Protest Triangle” (my term for the activists at the three historically black schools) and “Research Triangle” schools viewed efforts by local and state politicians to thwart student participation in sit-ins and other forms of protest as a restriction of their academic freedom.

    Liberty University School of Divinity A CALL TO EXCELLENCE: LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND MENTORING MANUAL FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A Thesis Project Submitted to The Faculty of Liberty University School of Divinity In Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Ministry by Verna Mazak Lynchburg, Virginia July 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Verna Mazak All rights reserved Liberty University School of Divinity Thesis Project Approval Sheet ______________________________ Dr. Charlie Davidson Director –Doctor of Ministry Program Mentor ______________________________ Dr. David W. Hirschman Associate Professor of Religion Reader iii ABSTRACT A CALL TO EXCELLENCE: LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND MENTORING MANUAL FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY Verna Mazak Liberty University School of Divinity, 2016 Mentor: Dr. Charlie Davidson The growth of women in leadership within the local church is at an all-time high. These women face tremendous obstacles as they seek to lead the twenty-first century church. This thesis investigates the role of African American women in the Black Baptist church to identify skills necessary for successful leadership within the denomination. Going beyond analysis and exploration, it answers the question of how to develop a training and mentorship program specifically designed to prepare African-American women for excellence in leadership. A survey of fifty church staff and members of various Black Baptist churches was conducted to determine the perspective and experiences of women in leadership. Interviews with three women serving as pastors within the Black Baptist church facilitated in the gathering of key data. This information was used to format a training and mentoring manual that effectively prepare African American women for leadership in the Black Baptist church.
