  • Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood

    Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood

    Katherine Kinney Cold Wars: Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood n 1982 Louis Gossett, Jr was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman, becoming theI first African American actor to win an Oscar since Sidney Poitier. In 1989, Denzel Washington became the second to win, again in a supporting role, for Glory. It is perhaps more than coincidental that both award winning roles were soldiers. At once assimilationist and militant, the black soldier apparently escapes the Hollywood history Donald Bogle has named, “Coons, Toms, Bucks, and Mammies” or the more recent litany of cops and criminals. From the liberal consensus of WWII, to the ideological ruptures of Vietnam, and the reconstruction of the image of the military in the Reagan-Bush era, the black soldier has assumed an increasingly prominent role, ironically maintaining Hollywood’s liberal credentials and its preeminence in producing a national mythos. This largely static evolution can be traced from landmark films of WWII and post-War liberal Hollywood: Bataan (1943) and Home of the Brave (1949), through the career of actor James Edwards in the 1950’s, and to the more politically contested Vietnam War films of the 1980’s. Since WWII, the black soldier has held a crucial, but little noted, position in the battles over Hollywood representations of African American men.1 The soldier’s role is conspicuous in the way it places African American men explicitly within a nationalist and a nationaliz- ing context: U.S. history and Hollywood’s narrative of assimilation, the combat film.

Dabney, Melina Kristine (BA/MA Film Studies) Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity Thesis directed by Professor Melinda Barlow While there is a substantial amount of scholarship on the depiction of African American women in film and television, this thesis exposes the new formations of African American femininity on screen. African American women have consistently resisted, challenged, submitted to, and remixed racial myths and sexual stereotypes existing in American cinema and television programming. Mainstream film and television practices significantly contribute to the reinforcement of old stereotypes in contemporary black women characters. However, based on the efforts of African American producers like Shonda Rhimes, who has attempted to insert more realistic renderings of African American women in her recent television shows, black women’s representation is undergoing yet another shift in contemporary media.

    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally.

    Anti-Apartheid Solidarity in United States–South Africa Relations: from the Margins to the Mainstream

    Anti-apartheid solidarity in United States–South Africa relations: From the margins to the mainstream By William Minter and Sylvia Hill1 I came here because of my deep interest and affection for a land settled by the Dutch in the mid-seventeenth century, then taken over by the British, and at last independent; a land in which the native inhabitants were at first subdued, but relations with whom remain a problem to this day; a land which defined itself on a hostile frontier; a land which has tamed rich natural resources through the energetic application of modern technology; a land which once imported slaves, and now must struggle to wipe out the last traces of that former bondage. I refer, of course, to the United States of America. Robert F. Kennedy, University of Cape Town, 6 June 1966.2 The opening lines of Senator Robert Kennedy’s speech to the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS), on a trip to South Africa which aroused the ire of pro-apartheid editorial writers, well illustrate one fundamental component of the involvement of the United States in South Africa’s freedom struggle. For white as well as black Americans, the issues of white minority rule in South Africa have always been seen in parallel with the definition of their own country’s identity and struggles against racism.3 From the beginning of white settlement in the two countries, reciprocal influences have affected both rulers and ruled. And direct contacts between African Americans and black South Africans date back at least to the visits of American 1 William Minter is editor of AfricaFocus Bulletin (www.africafocus.org) and a writer and scholar on African issues.

    Hillside NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION the Hillside Neighborhood Is a Residential Island Surrounded by Industry and Freeways

    Approximate boundaries: N-N. Halyard St; S-W. Fond Du Lac Ave; E-N. 6th St; W-Hwy 43 NORTH SIDEHillside NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION The Hillside neighborhood is a residential island surrounded by industry and freeways. The main housing styles in Hillside are the multi-story apartment complexes and one- story homes around the parks. Interspersed are a few old industrial buildings. There are two parks in the Hillside neighborhood--James W. Beckum Park, which has an area for little league baseball, and Carver Park, a 23-acre space with playground equipment. See photos below. HISTORY The area that is today’s Hillside neighborhood is located in the center of what was once known as the city’s Bronzeville community (with borders within Juneau and North Avenues, and old 3rd and 17th Streets— the widest area given by local historians). And before there was Bronzeville, there were other communities in today’s Hillside area. Early populations The original area comprising Hillside was developed after 1850. The early population was mostly German and they lived within walking distance of jobs at tanneries, the Schlitz Brewery, shoe factories, and mills. The Hillside neighborhood specifically attracted a number of German elite. According to John Gurda in Milwaukee, City of Neighborhoods (p. 188): So many Uihleins (owners of the Schlitz Brewery) lived on or near Galena Street that the area was known as “Uihlein Hill,” conveniently overlooking the family’s Third Street brewing complex. One of their mansions, which stayed in the family until the 1940s, stood just north of what is now the Hillside Terrace Family Resource Center.

Clark INTRODUCTION Black theatre history is turning artifacts into living monuments. During the 1970s, important studies of the Federal Theatre, black community theatres in California, Trinidad Carnival and the Ejagham Leopard mime from Nigeria and Cameroon have unearthed, analyzed and described performances and texts as diverse as the black world itself. (1) What these books have in common, besides impeccable scholarship and readibility, is their fundamental approach. They each treat theatre as cultural expression combining literature, art and sociology. Why such milestones in black theatre history have appeared at this time is a question not easily answered. All of these recent works have made full use of primary sources - a rare circumstance for most researchers in black theatre. There may be another distinction these studies suggest as well. Each demonstrates a commitment to the use of ethnographic and oral history techniques in a field that generally relies solely on written archives. Perhaps, as of the '70s, a new methodology for the study of black theatre has emerged. From my own work in the field and analysis of the literature devoted to world theatre, I have come to call the new methodology archaeology. (2) How archaeology in a black context differs from the literal definition of the term, what archaeology collects, analyzes and describes, how an archaeologist distributes the results of analysis are subjects in need of scholarly dis- cussion.
