  • The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century
    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.

  • Making “Good” Citizens: Education, Citizenship, and the National
    MAKING “GOOD” CITIZENS: EDUCATION, CITIZENSHIP, AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN, 1920-1941 by QUIN’NITA FRANSHAE COBBINS (Under the Direction of Chana Kai Lee) ABSTRACT After ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) experienced a myriad of changes that turned their focus to political education and citizenship. Clubwomen used formal and informal settings to disseminate civic knowledge, create civic programs, and educate women on their newly acquired franchise in order to achieve full citizenship rights and equal access to quality education. In the process, they articulated and practiced tenets of civic republicanism that shaped their concept of citizenship. The clubwomen committed themselves to civic responsibilities such as voting intelligently, respecting laws, pledging loyalty for protection of civil liberties, and actively participating in civic activities to work on behalf of the race and country; which in turn worked for the common good. Ultimately, these civic activists created spaces to achieve some level of political influence and agency within their communities and the government.

    A Home Away From Home: Recreation Centers and Black Community Development in the Bay Area, 1920-1960 By Natalie N Novoa A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Waldo E. Martin, Chair Professor David Henkin Professor Ula Taylor Summer 2019 Abstract A Home Away From Home: Recreation Centers and Black Community Development in the Bay Area, 1920-1960 By Natalie N Novoa Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Waldo E. Martin, Chair In this dissertation, I argue that recreation centers played a pivotal role in the black community as sites of racial uplift, political activism, and as a conduit to public service agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area. My work links literature in urban history and African American history to demonstrate the unique circumstances the city landscape presented to African Americans and how they not only responded to those circumstances, but also how they shaped them, especially during World War II. In particular, the project examines the ways in which black-founded and black-directed recreation centers acted as an affirmative alternative to the confrontations and humiliations that awaited them at segregated recreational venues as well as public amusements and accommodations. In addition, this work explores why, how, and with what consequences these black recreation centers contributed to the changing geography of the Bay Area. Creating their own agendas separate from white reformers and city officials, who believed structured recreation was a way to control and exercise surveillance over delinquent youth, black leaders viewed these recreational spaces as opportunities to provide community members with the necessary tools to challenge the racism they faced at work, school, and in the streets.

WESTERN NEW ENGLAND LAW REVIEW Volume 42 2020 Issue 3 “NOT AS A FAVOR, NOT AS A PRIVILEGE, BUT AS A RIGHT”: WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS, RACE, RIGHTS, AND THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT JOAN MARIE JOHNSON* This brief history of the woman suffrage movement shows how various suffragists believed the right to vote for women was a human right that all American citizens should possess, while other suffragists viewed their struggle as one for respect and protection from abusive men. These differences are particularly salient in the fraught role of black woman suffragists, who, while dedicated to the cause, were frequently unwelcome in the white-dominated state and national movements. In January 1910, white suffragist Alva Belmont met with three black suffragists—Irene Moorman, Sarah Garnet, and Maria Lawton—to discuss forming a black branch of Belmont’s suffrage organization.
