The thesis examines the role of citizenship education in the modern Civil Rights Movement and explores how educational efforts within the Movement enfranchised and empowered a segment of Southern black society that would have been untouched by demonstrations and federal voting legislation. Civil Rights activists in the Deep South, attempting to register voters, recognized the severe inadequacies of public education for black students and built parallel educational institutions designed to introduce black students to their rights as American citizens, develop local leadership and grassroots organizational structures. The methods the activists used to accomplish these goals had been pioneered in the mid-1950’s by Septima Clark and Myles Horton of the Highlander Folk School. Horton and Clark developed a successful curriculum structure for adult literacy and citizenship education that they implemented on Johns Island off the coast of South Carolina.

THE VIOLENT BEAR IT AWAY EMMETT TILL & THE MODERNIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN MISSISSIPPI ∗ ANDERS WALKER ABSTRACT Few racially motivated crimes have left a more lasting imprint on American memory than the death of Emmett Till. Yet, even as Till’s murder in Mississippi in 1955 has come to be remembered as a catalyst for the civil rights movement, it contributed to something else as well. Precisely because it came on the heels of the Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Till’s death convinced Mississippi Governor James P. Coleman that certain aspects of the state’s handling of racial matters had to change. Afraid that popular outrage over racial violence might encourage federal intervention in the region, Coleman removed power from local sheriffs, expanded state police, and modernized the state’s criminal justice apparatus in order to reduce the chance of further racial violence in the state.

  • The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board
    5 The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board Raymond A. Mohl Now concluding its fifty-second year, the Dade County Community Relations Board has had a fascinating and sometimes controversial histo­ ry. The CRB idea generally emerged in the postwar era in the context of a national discourse on race, ethnicity, and religion. The Dade County CRB’s founders drew on an important set of ideas known at the time as the “human relations agenda”—ideas developed during World War II and shaped by social science research and conceptualization focused on countering racial prejudice and religious bigotry. In the postwar period, metropolitan Miami experienced a rising level of racial, ethnic, and reli­ gious strife. Although the nation’s top tourist destination in 1950, the Miami area remained deeply southern in its racial attitudes and political culture. The Ku Klux Kian was riding high in the postwar years. Racial tension, street-level violence, arson, even dynamite bombs marked racial­ ly changing neighborhoods in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as African Americans began breaking out of the racially zoned areas that had kept them confine since the early years of the twentieth century. The large postwar Jewish migration to Miami from northern cities—8,000 Jews resided in metro Miami in 1940, rising to 140,000 in 1960—triggered overt anti-Semitism in hotels, clubs, housing, and employment, as well synagogues and Hebrew school bombings. Not surprisingly, Miami entered the postwar era with no human relations tradition. However, some Miamians who thought deeply about such things believed in the promise of the human relations agenda to overcome racial conflict and create a new sense of civic unity.
