Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Aimee C. Edmondson Associate Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication Abstract ROUNKLES, CLAIRE M., M.S., December 2020, Journalism The Shame of the Buckeye State: Journalistic Complacency on Episodic Lynching in Ohio from 1872 to 1932 Director of Thesis: Aimee C. Edmondson The lynching era in Ohio lasted from 1803 to 1937. During these years thirty-five people died at the hands of a lynch mob and seventy-nine escaped from a mob’s clutches. This thesis situates the history of lynching in Ohio from 1872 to 1932 and discusses the issue of complacent journalism in the Ohio press through a study of twenty-four cases of white-on-white lynching and racial terror lynching. This thesis shows that lynching was employed as a means to enact fear to keep Black Ohioans in a marginalized position and prevent them from prospering economically or politically. The author also argues that journalists were not objective bystanders but were key to the social voice and national conversation that accepted the practice of lynching in America. By utilizing the concept of critical race theory, the author shows that the racist ideal of Whiteness was able to become hidden by seemingly objective reporting, thus allowing the mainstream press to accept the practice of lynching without the guilt of unlawful “justice.” There is also a paucity of research on Harry C. Smith, a Black journalist who pushed for the first anti-lynching law in Ohio. As such, this research aims to make a significant impact not only on the literature involving northern lynchings but also in the history of Ohio and the need to understand its dark past. In 2020 this historical research hold saliency regarding the racial violence which continues today in America. iii Dedication In remembrance of Grandma June who taught me the true meaning of compassion and unconditional love.

The Commercial Gazette, a daily newspaper in Cincinnati, Ohio, was notified of the gathering and its focus of taking Parker to “Judge Lynch” for punishment.2 Only a select few were informed of this gathering in order to avoid suspicion from the local authorities. The leaders of the lynch mob sent out messengers across the county to spread the news, keeping the plan so quiet among the men that “not even their wives were trusted with the secret of the self-constituted regulators.”3 However, the Commercial Gazette decided to send reporters to “experience” this event rather than notifying the authorities in the Adams County seat of West Union in southwest Ohio.4 In an article that retold the “adventure,” the newspaper correspondent who viewed the hanging of Roscoe Parker stated: It is just a question whether the privilege of attending such an affair is one to be sought or shunned, but certain it is that it is an experience, which is not often afforded.5 A day after the mob killed Parker, the Commercial Gazette retold the great lengths that the reporters and staff took to get to West Union, fifty-five miles from Cincinnati, in order to witness the lynching in one of the many articles published on this episode. The way that journalists covered this case in the 1890s would have been considered normal at the time, as the complacent role that journalists had during the 1 lynching period has previously been noted by media historians.6 However, what followed the lynching was unique. The trial of Roscoe Parker that was supposed to happen before his murder still took place after his death—but with a different judge. Moreover, at this trial, the judge presiding over the case not only called for the case to be reviewed but also to indict everyone who was present at the lynching for murder. With these indictment charges, the judge specifically called out the journalists who knew that the lynching would take place and did nothing to prevent it. Also notable, weeks after Parker’s lynching, the first anti-lynching law in Ohio was passed by the Ohio House of Representatives. It became law in 1896, holding counties legally and financially responsible for lynchings in their jurisdiction, and is viewed as the leading anti-lynching law to pass in the North in the 1890s.7 Unlike the case of Roscoe Parker where a judge specifically called out the complicity of journalists in the lynch mob, the conduct of and content created by Ohio journalists has yet to be studied by media historians. This thesis, through an examination of twenty five cases of lynching in Ohio from 1872 to 1932, shows that lynching was initially used as a White-on-White form of summary justice, and later evolved into racial terror lynching of Black men by White mobs.8 Second, it shows how mainstream newspapers reported on lynching in Ohio. The thesis also situates the Black-owned Cleveland Gazette and its owner, Harry C. Smith, as a prominent figure in the promotion and fight for anti-lynching legislation in Ohio. This thesis also argues that the Cleveland Gazette was the most significant publication in Ohio to report that the use of lynching as a form of racial terrorism. This thesis is rooted in 2 historical research methods and employs critical race theory to understand the usage of journalistic objectivity to perpetuate racial bias. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to Ohio race history and provides a clear definition for lynching in terms of distinguishing its initial form of White-on-White vigilantism justice to its evolution as a tool for racial terror to control the Black community. Through an examination of existing literature, this chapter also discusses mainstream newspaper coverage of lynching as well as

  • Building Networks: Cooperation and Communication Among African Americans in the Urban Midwest, 1860-1910
    Building Networks: Cooperation and Communication Among African Americans in the Urban Midwest, 1860-1910 Jack S. Blocker Jr.* In the dramatic narrative of African-American history, the story of the post-Emancipation years begins in the rural South, where the rights won through postwar constitutional amendments gradually yield to the overwhelming forces of segregation and disfranchisement. During the First World War, the scene shifts to the metropolitan North, where many members of the rapidly growing southern-born migrant population develop a new, militant consciousness. Behind this primary narrative, however, lies another story. An earlier, smaller migration flow from South to North had already established the institutional and cultural foundations for the emergence of a national racial consciousness in postbellum America. Much of this crucial work took place in small and mid-size towns and cities. Some interpreters have seen the creation of a national racial consciousness as a natural and normal product of African heritage. This view, however, neglects the diverse origins and experiences of African Americans during the slavery years. “Alternatively,”writes historian Harold Forsythe, “we should consider that a distinctive national community developed from local roots during emancipation. Local associations of freedpeople, organized in families, neighborhood groupings, churches, [and] benevolent and fraternal orders, slowly developed into regional, statewide, and ultimately national consociations. This process of unification involved not only consciousness, but [also] institutional and power connections. It matured between 1909 and about 1925.”’The process of community-building can be seen clearly in the three states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, which I call the Lower Midwest. On the eve of the Civil War, about 56,000 African Americans lived in the Lower Midwest.

Tomecko August, 2012 JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 Mark T. Tomecko Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ ______________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Tracey Jean Boisseau Dr. Chand Midha _______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Martin Wainwright Dr. George Newkome ______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Most analysts of black voting patterns in the United States have assumed that the first substantive abandonment of the Republican party by black voters occurred in the 1930s, when the majority of black voters embraced Franklin Roosevelt‘s New Deal. A closer examination, however, of another Roosevelt presidency – that of Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) – demonstrates the degree to which black voters were already growing disenchanted with the Republicans in the face of what they viewed as uneven support and contradictory messages from the highest ranking Republican in the land. Though the perception of Theodore Roosevelt‘s relationship to black Americans has been dominated by his historic invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House in 1901, in fact even this event had assorted and complex meanings for Roosevelt‘s relationship to the black community. More importantly, his dismissal of black troops following a controversial shooting in southern Texas in 1906 – an event known as the Brownsville affair – set off a firestorm of bitter protest from the black press, black intellectuals, and black voters.

It has been accepted for inclusion in New England Classical Journal by an authorized editor of CrossWorks. In Search of Helen Maria Chesnutt (1880-1969), Black Latinist MICHELE VALERIE RONNICK Abstract: Classical scholars have begun to delineate the dynamic pattern of black classicism. This new subfield of the classical tradition involves the analysis of the creative response to classical antiquity by artists as well as the history of the professional training in classics of scholars, teachers and students in high schools, colleges and universities. To the first group belongs Helen Maria Chesnutt (1880-1969). Born in Fayetteville, NC, Chesnutt was the second daughter of acclaimed African American novelist, Charles W. Chesnutt (1858-1932). She earned her B.A. from Smith College in 1902 and her M.A. in Latin from Columbia University in 1925. She was a member of the American Philological Association and the Classical Association of the Middle West and South. Her life was spent teaching Latin at Central High School in Cleveland, OH.
