A Historic Moment: Black Voters and the 1992 Presidential Race by Clarence Lusane November 2, 1991, may well be remembered as a watershed date in the unique and quixotic 1992 presi- dential race. On that day, stating that he would "not seek the nomination for the Democratic Party," 1 Jesse Jack- son backed out of the presidential campaign spotlight and started a chain reaction that has put the black vote in perhaps its least influential position since before 1984. Extremely low black voter turnout was one of the most significant trends of the 1992 primaries. In the Democratic contests, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton won an impressive percentage of black votes, about 70 4 percent.

  • The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women's Athletics
    “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 By Amira Rose Davis A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2016 © 2016 Amira Rose Davis All Rights Reserved Abstract “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 analyzes the ideological and institutional development of amateur and professional sports for black women in the United States before the passage of Title IX and during the Age of Jim Crow. It locates black women’s athletic history between silence and symbol, forgetting and remembrance. In considering the development of black women’s athletics and the symbolic black woman athlete, this project moves to reexamine our understanding of black women’s movement and mobility by considering the work that black women’s athletic bodies did for institution-building and international, national, and local statecraft. By focusing on black women in motion, this dissertation uses middle-class black institutions – like colleges and sports teams – to write a new history of black women’s labor. By tracing the long history of black women’s athletic participation, this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which gendered power dynamics, particularly intra-racial ones, mediated black Americans’ engagement with athletics and physical culture. While highlighting women who used athletics to gain social mobility or assert new notions of modern and respectable black womanhood, this project also examines black institutions, sporting organizations and state apparatuses that routinely used black women’s athletic bodies to advance their respective social, political and financial interests.
