Among Smuts’s many remarks stands a particular speech he delivered in New York City, when he called Africans “the most patient of all animals, next to the ass.” Naturally, this and other comments touched off a firestorm of controversy surrounding Smuts, his visit, and segregationist South Africa’s laws. Utilizing news coverage, correspondence, and recollections of the trip, this article uses his visit as a lens into both African American relations with Africa and white American foundation work towards the continent and, especially, South Africa.

  • Inspired by Gandhi and the Power of Nonviolence: African American
    Inspired by Gandhi and the Power of Nonviolence: African American Gandhians Sue Bailey and Howard Thurman Howard Thurman (1899–1981) was a prominent theologian and civil rights leader who served as a spiritual mentor to Martin Luther King, Jr. Sue Bailey Thurman, (1903–1996) was an American author, lecturer, historian and civil rights activist. In 1934, Howard and Sue Thurman, were invited to join the Christian Pilgrimage of Friendship to India, where they met with Mahatma Gandhi. When Thurman asked Gandhi what message he should take back to the United States, Gandhi said he regretted not having made nonviolence more visible worldwide and famously remarked, "It may be through the Negroes that the unadulterated message of nonviolence will be delivered to the world." In 1944, Thurman left his tenured position at Howard to help the Fellowship of Reconciliation establish the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco. He initially served as co-pastor with a white minister, Dr. Alfred Fisk. Many of those in congregation were African Americans who had migrated to San Francisco for jobs in the defense industry. This was the first major interracial, interdenominational church in the United States. “It is to love people when they are your enemy, to forgive people when they seek to destroy your life… This gives Mahatma Gandhi a place along side all of the great redeemers of the human race. There is a striking similarity between him and Jesus….” Howard Thurman Source: Howard Thurman; Thurman Papers, Volume 3; “Eulogy for Mahatma Gandhi:” February 1, 1948; pp. 260 Benjamin Mays (1894–1984) -was a Baptist minister, civil rights leader, and a distinguished Atlanta educator, who served as president of Morehouse College from 1940 to 1967.

  • Alternative Reading Guide for the 1619 Project Essays ©2021
    Alternative Reading Guide for The 1619 Project Essays ©2021 Below are essays from the New York Times 1619 Project and a Pulitzer Center designed reading guide along with a supplemental reading guide and questions. You can find the 1619 essays below in the full issue from the Pulitzer Center. The 1619 Project, while being accused of some historically fallacious claims, created a groundswell of conversation in the United States. In fact, the response was so monumental that many schools began to use the 1619 Project in their curriculum. This adds a necessary richness to American classrooms where too often the voices and experiences of black Americans, who were instrumental in helping to shape and define America’s place in history, have often been downplayed or even ignored. We welcome the new discussion and hope that it continues. The danger we see in using only the 1619 Project as a guide to race relations and black American history is that it drowns out some of the voices of black resilience, strength and true heroism. Much of the 1619 Project focuses on oppression and grievance as the collective voice of the black American experience. This alternative reading guide takes the Pulitzer Center’s guide and adds an additional reading to each 1619 Project essay for a more complete picture of the black American experience and contribution to American society. We encourage all classrooms using the 1619 Project to consider adding these or other supplemental readings to expand their curriculum, promote robust dialogue and discussion, and add further dimension to the nuance and complexity of the building of America.

  • African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors
    African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors, Welcome to the African American Heritage Trail for Washington, DC! It is my honor to present this latest edition of the guide to the inspiring history of African Americans in this world-class city. From Benjamin Banneker’s essential role in the survey of the District in 1791, to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 and beyond, African Americans have made DC a capital of activism and culture. John H. Fleet, a physician, teacher, and abolitionist, called Georgetown home. Ralph J. Bunche, a professor, United Nations negotiator, and Nobel Peace Prize recipi- ent settled in Brookland. Anthony Bowen, an abolitionist, community leader, and Underground Railroad conductor changed the world from a modest home in Southwest. Washington is where advisor to U.S. presidents Mary McLeod Bethune, activist A. Phillip Randolph, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and visual artist Lois Mailou Jones all lived and made their careers. On the African American Heritage Trail, you’ll see important sites in the lives of each of these remarkable people. You’ll also encounter U Street, long a hub for African American theater and music; Howard University, the flagship of African American higher education; and Anacostia, a historic black suburb once home to Frederick Douglass. Alongside these paragons of American history and culture, generations of African Americans from all walks of life built strong communities, churches, businesses, Front cover: Esquisse for Ode to Kinshasa by Lois Mailou Jones, and other institutions that have made DC the vital city Museum of Women in the Arts; George E.C.
