IPG Spring 2020 African American Interest - December 2019 Page 1 African American Interest Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} Daughter of the Boycott Carrying On a Montgomery Family's Civil Rights Legacy Karen Gray Houston Summary In 1950, before Montgomery knew Martin Luther King Jr., before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger, before the city’s famous boycott, a Negro man named Hilliard Brooks was shot and killed by a white policeman during an encounter involving a ride on a city bus. Brooks and Thomas Gray played football together as kids. Gray and other fellow veterans, outraged about an unjustifiable fatal shooting, protested, eventually staging a major march against police brutality downtown. Five years later, Gray protested again, this time against the unjust treatment of Negroes on the city's segregated buses. Daughter of the Boycott is Karen Gray Houston’s story of her family’s involvement in the historic Montgomery Lawrence Hill Books bus boycott, the action that kick-started the civil rights movement.

The Brown Bullet Rajo Jack's Drive to Integrate Auto Racing Bill Poehler Summary The powers-that-be in auto racing in the 1920s, namely the American Automobile Association’s Contest Board, prohibited everyone who wasn’t a white male from the sport. Dewey Gaston, a black man who went by the name Rajo Jack, broke into the epicenter of racing in California, refusing to let the pervasive racism of his day stop him from competing against entire fields of white drivers. In The Brown Bullet, Bill Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the great lengths he took to even get on the track, and in the end, tells how Rajo Jack proved to a generation that a black man could compete with some of the greatest white drivers of his era, wining some of the biggest races of the day.

The gun battle touched off days of heavy rioting. The confrontation was surprising given that Cleveland had just elected Carl Stokes, the first black mayor of a major US city, who just four months earlier had kept peace in Cleveland the night that Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Now his credibility and reputation lay in tatters; the leader of the black nationalists, Fred Ahmed Evans, had used Cleveland NOW! public funds to buy the rifles and ammunition used in the shootout. Ballots and Bullets looks at the roots of the violence and its political aftermath in Cleveland, a uniquely important city in the civil rights Lawrence Hill Books movement.

During the 1980s, French sociologist Maurice Halbwachs and French social scientist Pierre Nora devcloped the concept of "collectivc memory," an idea that swept the academic world and seemed particularly apt for Texas. Gregg Cantrell and Elizabeth Hayes Turner brought together eleven eminent and entertaining authors to produce collective memories that often challenge factual histories. The articles point out that historians are often ignored by the Texas pub­ lic who shaped their own version of their pasts. Articles focus on battles fought by the Daughters of the Republic ofTexas over who would restore the Alamo, the United Daughters of the Confederacy in their attempts to commemorate Confederate heroes, and the attempts by the Ku Klux Klan to Ameril:anize their message in the 1920s.
