  • Office of Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Initiatives
    OFFICE OF CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY RESPONSIVE INITIATIVES Brownies’ Books: Grades 5 & 6 May 2020 The Brownies’ Books are comprised of stories (folktales, fantasies, as well as more realistic stories), poems, games, articles on current events of the era, letters from young readers and photographs. In 1920, these literary magazines celebrated African American identity, urged racial pride, and encouraged its young readers to aspire to positions of leadership within their communities. The books are intended to be read with other members of the family. Many of the life lessons taught in the books are applicable to the uplift of young people of all races today. The office of CLRI, has chosen literary works from the Brownies’ Books, edited by renowned scholar, W.E.B. Du Bois, for you and your child’s reading pleasure. Each literary work has standards‐ aligned reading, writing, and critical thinking activities to supplement core‐curriculum reading materials. The Brownies’ Books are written by diverse authors, and particularly, authors of African American descent. According to historical literacy expert, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, citing W.E.B. Du Bois, the Brownies’ Books are “designed for all children, but especially for ours.” Moreover, “the content of the readings was intended to recognize and cultivate the genius within youth” (Muhammad, 2020, p.152). Please be informed that the Brownies’ Books are historical documents that use period language and phrases common during the 1920s era. While we have maintained the authenticity of this literature, please understand some of the dialects are not common terms or phrases that are widely used today. The text represents people of color in a positive light dispelling falsehood and stereotypes.

Cotton represented 57.5% of the value of all U.S. exports. 55% of enslaved people in the United States were employed in cotton production. Cotton Production in the South, 1820–1860 Cotton production expanded westward between 1820 and 1860 into Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and western Tennessee. Source: Sam Bowers Hilliard, Atlas of Antebellum Southern Agriculture (Louisiana State University Press, 1984) pp. 67–71. Ownership of Enslaved people in the South was unevenly distributed 25% of white families owned slaves in 1860 Fell from 36% in 1830 Nearly half of slaveholders owned fewer than five 12% owned more than twenty slaves 1% owned more than fifty slaves Typical slave lived on a sizeable plantation As Pro-Slavery supporters continued to use the law to protect their “property,” Abolitionists employed all manner of strategies to persuade the American public and its leadership to end slavery. One of their first strategies was to unite groups of like- minded individuals to fight as a body.

The Freedom Center facility initially included the John Rankin Library, but funding issues eventually lead to the elimination of the librarian position and closing the library to the public. In the fall of 2007, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center entered into an agreement for their John Rankin Library to be housed at the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati as a long‐term loan. The initial loan period is 10 years. The items from the Freedom Center have been added to the Library’s catalog and have been incorporated into the Main Library’s Genealogy & Local History collection. These materials are available for the public to check out, if a circulating item, or to use at the Main Library, if a reference work. The unique nature of the Freedom Center’s collection enhances the Main Library’s reference and circulating collections while making the materials acquired by the Freedom Center again available to the public.

MOORE 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 2010 1 © 2010 Courtney A. Moore 2 To my parents, Brenda W. Moore and George Moore, my first teachers, and my wonderful family in North Carolina and Florida, my amazing village 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the course of this process I have received the support of countless individuals who have tirelessly given of themselves to make my dream a reality. Professionally, many teachers and professors have shaped my intellectual growth, equipping me with the skills and confidence needed to excel academically. I would like to thank the faculty and staff at Southwood Elementary, Central Davidson Middle and Central Davidson High Schools, especially Ms. Dorothy Talbert. Since elementary school Ms. Talbert encouraged me to conquer my fears and move toward the wonderful opportunities life held, even up to her untimely passing this year she was a constant source of encouragement and cheer. I am also indebted to the Department of History at North Carolina Central University, specifically Drs. Carlton Wilson, Lydia Lindsey and Freddie Parker. Observing these amazing scholars, I learned professionalism, witnessed student-centered teaching at its best, and had the embers of my love for history erupt into an unquenchable fire as I learned of black men and women who impacted the world. My sincerest gratitude to the History Department and African American Studies Program faculty and staff at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

  • H301 Race and Slavery
    301 Race and Slavery Fall 2004 We raise de wheat, Dey gib us de corn; We bake de bread, Dey gib us de crust Slave Song. Dr. Jeffrey R. Kerr-Ritchie Office: 224C :334-5205 Email: [email protected] Office hours: Monday, Wednesday, 12:00-2:00 Description: This course begins with the making of racial slavery in the 1600s and concludes with its unmaking as a result of the Great American Slave Rebellion in the 1860s. It is organized around several major topics and questions. How were free Africans transformed into an enslaved working class? What were some of the spatial and temporal differences between colonial and ante-bellum slave societies? When did black institutions first emerge and how did these change over time? What was the Great American Slave Rebellion? Define Black Reconstruction and is it over? Our objectives are threefold: to provide a survey of the first two centuries of African American history; to practice the rudiments of the historical craft through examining documents, evaluating secondary sources, and critical thinking; and, to relate the past to the present. Requirements: All students are expected to attend class and participate in discussions on a regular basis. Only two unexcused absences are allowed after which your grade will be penalized. # Bi-weekly 1 page lecture/reading questions (25% of your grade). # One 3-5 page take-home paper due September 16 (25% of your grade). # One 3-5 page paper due October 21 (25% of your grade). # Two 3-5 page take-home papers due December 9 (25% of your grade).

(Alice Walker) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When I decided to undertake this project, enthusiasm and passion filled my heart. I did not know then that this would be such a demanding, complex—but at the same time enjoyable and gratifying—enterprise. It has been a long journey in which I have found the support, encouragement and help of several people whom I must now show my gratitude. First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Olga Barrios for all her support, zealousness, and stimulus. The thorough revisions, sharp comments, endless interest, and continuous assistance of this indefatigable professor have been of invaluable help. Thank you also to well-known scholar of African American literature Frances Smith Foster, whose advice in the genesis of this dissertation served to establish a valid work hypothesis.

  • Life in Slavery
    Published on NCpedia (https://www.ncpedia.org) Home > ANCHOR > Antebellum (1836–1860) > Life in Slavery Life in Slavery [1] Share it now! It’s almost impossible for us today to imagine how difficult life was for a slave in the antebellum South. Work was long and hard, food and shelter were minimal, the threat of brutal punishment always loomed, and families could be broken up at a master’s whim. Yet, heroically, enslaved people made lives for themselves — families, religion, a culture, even art. In this chapter, we’ll read — and, in one case, actually hear — the words of former slaves themselves. Some sources in this chapter are books written by slaves who escaped to the North, to tell antebellum northerners what slavery was really like. Others are interviews conducted by a federal government program in the 1930s. These interviews can be difficult to read, but they are one of very few ways we can learn about the experiences of enslaved people directly. Before beginning, please read this guide to reading slave narratives [2].

Title: Cities of refuge : slave flight and illegal freedom in the American urban South, 1800-1860 Issue Date: 2020-01-16 23 Chapter One The Changing Landscape of Freedom Many slave narratives, written by formerly enslaved people after they achieved freedom, give insight into how black Americans felt when they first realized that they were enslaved, and all of them explicitly deal with the longing for freedom. Louis Hughes, author of Thirty Years a Slave, recalled that within his enslaved family, “It had been talked of (this freedom) from generation to generation.”75 Lunsford Lane, who later bought freedom for himself and his family, accounted that “When I began to work, I discovered the difference between myself and my master’s white children.” Early on, Lane also recognized the realistic fear of being sold south which “seemed infinitely worse than the terrors of death. To know, also, that I was never to consult my own will, but was, while I lived, to be entirely under the control of another, was another state of mind hard for me to bear.”76 The longing for freedom was not informed by material conditions. Frederick Douglass made that clear when he stated: “whenever my condition was improved, instead of its increasing my contentment, it only increased my desire to be free.”77 Enslaved people at all times and in all places wanted to be free. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the geography of slavery in the Americas was radically transformed in such way as to greatly enhance opportunities to escape slavery.
