WAlker Professor Juliet E.K. WAlker Office Hours Office: Garrison 2-136 MWF 10-11, 12:00-1:00, 2:30-3:30 512-471-5581 By appointment [email protected] TTH "This course may be used to fulfill three hours of the U.S. history component of the university core curriculum and addresses the following four core objectives established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board: communication skills, critical thinking skills, personal responsibility, and social responsibility." COURSE DESCRIPTION Assessments of the historic experience of African Americans from the Civil War and Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Era and the Second Reconstruction, i.e., the post-Civil Rights Era from the 1970s through 2017, provide the focus of this course. Emphasis will be placed on the political, economic, including the business activities, as well as social and cultural activities of African Americans. The course begins with assessing the Black American experience during the Civil War and Reconstruction. In the immediate first post- Reconstruction, the Exodus of 1879 is considered along with the founding and building of Black Towns. Also, significant Supreme Court decisions, and extralegal means, including violence, which led to the disfranchisement and segregation of Blacks, that is, the rise of Jim Crow, at the turn of the century are discussed. The Great Migration of the WWI era is examined and the ideologies of black leaders during that period (1900-1930), W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Ida B. Wells and Marcus Garvey are compared. Particularly, the establishment of black businesses is examined and compared with white corporate America during the turn of the early twentieth century Industrial Revolution. The rise of the black urban ghetto and impact of the African American working class as it relates to African American culture provide the focus for examining the twentieth century Black Experience. The Harlem Renaissance, the conditions of blacks in the Great Depression, their military participation in WWII, Ralph Bunche’s United Nation’s contribution, the Korean Conflict and the 1954 Brown decision provide an introduction to the Black Freedom Movement of the 1960s, including subsequent black military participation in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Assessments are made of the riots in the 1960s, Los Angeles 1992, Ferguson 2014, Charlotte, 2016; ideologies of Black leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Angela Davis, Kathleen Cleaver, black organizations, NAACP, Urban League CORE, SNCC, Black Panthers, black fraternities/sororities. Agendas of post-Civil rights era black leaders Jesse Jackson, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Al Sharpton and black business leaders, Bob Johnson (BET), Oprah Winfrey, Houston-based Case Lawal. The post- Civil Rights era rise of national black political leaders is examined: US Senators, Edward Brooke, Carol Moseley-Braun and Congresswomen Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, Sheila Jackson-Lee and presidential appointees: Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice and Attorney General Eric Holder appointed under 1 President Barack Hussein Obama the first African American president of the United States, elected in 2008 and served to January 2017. Also, two African Americans have been appointed Supreme Court Justices: Justice Thurgood Marshall and Justice Clarence Thomas. Yet, who are the rising new black political leaders such as New Jersey United States Senator Cory Booker? Still, of all racial/ethnic groups in the US, African American incomes are at the bottom and black business profits are less than 1% of total USA business profits. The course ends with commentaries on the retrenchment in affirmative action policies, late twentieth century black conservatism, and the commodification of African American culture seen in the wealth of the superstar athletes and hip hop entrepreneurs. Then, too, the new technology led to the first two black billionaires, Robert Johnson (BET) and Oprah. And, did the Internet with viral social networking websites, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Black Planet Google+, “Black News,” “Griot” and YouTube streaming videos, provide a basis for Barack Obama to emerge as the front-runner in the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. Significantly, the course begins with a Civil War, marking an end of slavery and the beginning of black political participation. But what about Civil Rights, the 1868 14th Amendment and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. What does this say about, race/racism in America? What about Katrina in New Orleans in 2009 as well as “the $40 Million Dollar slave,” 153 years after the 13th Amendment? Also, what has been the impact of the nation’s changing racial demographics on African Americans in the 21st century? And, how do we explain the continued racial violence in America and protest in 2014-2015 that claimed: “Black Lives Matter” and “I Can’t Breath”? Being among the last generation of the millennial cohort, those consisting of individuals born from 1982-2004, how do you view your future in America?

  • Community Engagement and Educational Outreach
    Community Engagement and Educational Outreach In November 1977, 20,000 women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and small towns around the country to come together at the fi rst National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. Their aim was to end dis- crimination against women and promote their equal rights. Present were two former fi rst ladies–Lady Bird Johnson and Betty Ford—and the current fi rst lady, Rosalyn Carter. Also present were grandmothers and lesbians, Republicans and Democrats, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas, and Native Ameri- can women—and the most infl uential leaders of the burgeoning women’s movement—Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Ann Richards, Coretta Scott King, Barbara Jordan and others. SISTERS OF ’77 provides a fascinating look at that pivotal weekend and how it changed American life and the lives of the women who attended. Using the fi lm as a focus piece, ITVS’s Community Connections Project (CCP), community engagement and educational outreach campaign, reaches out to: • Organizations that invest in building young women leaders • University and high school students who participate in gender studies, political science, history and social studies • Organizations that promote women’s equal rights, reproductive freedom, lesbian and minority rights • Internet groups that focus on democracy in action, social change and human rights Independent Television Service (ITVS) 501 York Street San Francisco, CA 94110 phone 415.356.8383 email [email protected] web www.itvs.org The goals

  • Celebrating Black History Month – February 2014
    Celebrating Black History Month – February 2014 Black History Month remains an important moment for America to celebrate the achievements and contributions black Americans have played in U.S. history. Arising out of "Negro History Week," which first began in the 1920s, February has since been designated as Black History Month by every U.S. president since 1976. Below is a list of 30 inspirational quotes from some of the most influential black personalities of all time: 1. "Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise. I rise. I rise." - Maya Angelou 2. "We should emphasize not Negro history, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice." - Carter Woodson 3. "Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power." - Barbara Jordan 4. "Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated." - Coretta Scott King 5. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr. 6. "I am where I am because of the bridges that I crossed. Sojourner Truth was a bridge. Harriet Tubman was a bridge. Ida B. Wells was a bridge. Madame C. J. Walker was a bridge. Fannie Lou Hamer was a bridge." - Oprah Winfrey 7. "Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us." - Susan L.

    Alumni-final 6/18/04 12:43 PM Page 75 ALUMNI The Battle for Illinois Two Law School alumni square o≠ for a pivotal U.S. Senate seat. On a temperamental May evening, Sena- tor Hillary Rodham Clinton flew to Chicago on a political mission, arriving late at a downtown hotel where the main ballroom had reached its 500-person ca- pacity. “Excuse me, I’ve got the senator here,” said an aide, convincing a door- keeper to admit the actual beneficiary of all that attention: state senator Barack Obama, J.D. ’91, the Democratic candidate for the open Illinois seat in the U.S. Senate. Although it was the former First Lady who attracted the movie-star whistles, the usually soft-spoken Obama greeted the crowd’s cheers with a war whoop after his introduction onstage.
