  • Meanings of Kente Cloth Among Self-Described American And
    MEANINGS OF KENTE CLOTH AMONG SELF-DESCRIBED AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN STUDENTS OF AFRICAN DESCENT by MARISA SEKOLA TYLER (Under the Direction of Patricia Hunt-Hurst) ABSTRACT Little has been published regarding people of African descent’s knowledge, interpretation, and use of African clothing. There is a large disconnect between members of the African Diaspora and African culture itself. The purpose of this exploratory study was to explore the use and knowledge of Ghana’s kente cloth by African and Caribbean and American college students of African descent. Two focus groups were held with 20 students who either identified as African, Caribbean, or African American. The data showed that students use kente cloth during some special occasions, although they have little knowledge of the history of kente cloth. This research could be expanded to include college students from other colleges and universities, as well as, students’ thoughts on African garments.

"Citizens In The Making": Black Philadelphians, The Republican Party And Urban Reform, 1885-1913 Abstract “Citizens in the Making” broadens the scope of historical treatments of black politics at the end of the nineteenth century by shifting the focus of electoral battles away from the South, where states wrote disfranchisement into their constitutions. Philadelphia offers a municipal-level perspective on the relationship between African Americans, the Republican Party, and political and social reformers, but the implications of this study reach beyond one city to shed light on a nationwide effort to degrade and diminish black citizenship. I argue that black citizenship was constructed as alien and foreign in the urban North in the last decades of the nineteenth century and that this process operated in tension with and undermined the efforts of black Philadelphians to gain traction on their exercise of the franchise. For black Philadelphians at the end of the nineteenth century, the franchise did not seem doomed or secure anywhere in the nation.

  • In Light of the Career and Work of Marcus Garvey, the Leadership
    REACHING OuT TO A RAcE: MARCUS GARVEY AND MAss COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE LENSES OF SERVANT­ LEADERSHIP -SCOTT FINNIE EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION In light of the career and work of Marcus Garvey, the leadership skills he employed help to amplify Robert Greenleaf' s description of the true and genuine servant-leader. In his classic book published in 1977, Servant­ Leadership: A Journey into the Nature ofLegitimate Power and Greatness, Greenleaf identifies a series of attributes and virtues necessary to fulfill the role of "the great leader" who is "seen as a servant first" (p. 7). In his eyes, the concept and dynamics of leadership need an urgent re-definition and conceptual realignment if collective entities are to reach the noble goals to which they aspire: A fresh critical look is being taken at the issues of power and authority, and people are beginning to learn, however haltingly, to relate to one another in less coercive and more creatively supporting ways. A new moral principle is emerging which holds that the only authority deserving one's allegiance is that which is freely and knowingly granted by the led to the leader in response to, and in proportion to, the clearly evident ser­ vant stature of the leader. (pp. 9-10) The following pages will be an exploration into the leadership methodology of Marcus Garvey against the backdrop of Greenleaf's servant-leadership themes. The first part will be a historical examination of Garvey followed by a context analysis of servant-leadership. 267 The International Journal ofServant-Leadership, 2007, vol. 3, issue 1, 267-279 GARVEY'S BACKGROUND Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica in the late 1800s.

  • Syllabus—Garveyism (Spring 2011)
    GARVEYISM (W) Instructor: Dr. Neil Roberts Spring 2011 Williams College AFR338.01/PSCI338.01 Tu/Thurs, 11:20-12:35 PM Office hours: Wed, 2-4:00PM [email protected] Hollander Hall 213, x4772 Course description: This course explores the life, work, political thought, and activism associated with the Jamaican Pan-Africanist Marcus Mosiah Garvey and the transnational movement— Garveyism—that Garvey ushered into the modern world. We will investigate the founding of Garveyism on the island of Jamaica, the evolution of Garveyism during the early twentieth- century across the Americas and in Africa, Garveyism in Europe in the mid-twentieth century, and the contemporary branches of the Garvey movement in our own late modern times. The implications of Garvey’s conflict with W.E.B. Du Bois and the subsequent cleavages in political thought and allegiances among their respective adherents will be addressed, along with various other core issues including: the relationship between race, nation and empire; transnationalism; the meaning of power; the limitations of understanding Garveyism by the phrase “Back-to-Africa”; the moral philosophies of respect, reparation, and redemption; prophetic political theory; Pan-Africanism; the impact of Garveyism on political theological movements such as the Nation of Islam and the Rastafari; women in the Garvey movement; and Garveyite strategies for forging models of political solidarity in dark times. Course requirements: Participants are expected to attend class regularly and complete readings for class listed on the syllabus. You must bring to every session the required reading for the day. I will generally begin each class summarizing briefly the previous session’s main points, and shall proceed to lecture for a portion of time about the current day’s topic.

  • Symbolic Colors Found in African Kente Cloth (Grades K – 2)
    Bold and beautiful: symbolic colors found in African Kente cloth (Grades K – 2) Procedure Introduction Have the students look closely at the clothes they are wearing, as well as any other fabrics in the classroom. Invite them to suggest how the fabrics might have been created: What materials and tools were used? Who might have made them? And so on. Ask whether fabrics and clothing are the same in other parts of the world, how they might be different, or why they may be different. Announce that they are going to learn about a very special type of fabric that was worn by kings in Africa, and point out Ghana on the map or globe in relation to the United States. The colors chosen for Kente cloths are symbolic, and a combination of colors come together to tell a story. For a full list of color symbol- ism, see background information (attached) Object-based Instruction Display the images. Guide the discussion using the following ques- tioning strategy, adapting it as desired. Include information about Kente cloth from the background material during the discussion. Akan peoples, Ghana, West Africa, Kente Cloth. Describe: What are we looking at? What colors and shapes do you see? How would you describe them? What kinds of lines are there? Time Analyze: What colors or shapes repeat? What are some patterns? 45 – 60 minutes Where do the patterns seem to change? How do you think this was made? Objectives Interpret: How do the colors in this cloth make you feel? Why do you think the weaver chose these colors? What other decisions did Students will identify, describe, create, and extend patterns using the weaver need to make while creating this piece of fabric? What lines, colors, and shapes, as they create Kente cloth designs.

  • I Think a Good Deal in Terms of the Power of Black People in the World…That’S Why Africa Means So Much to Me
    Returning Home: The Makings of a Repatriate Consciousness “Like Sisyphus, the King of Corinth in Greek Mythology, who was punished in Hades by having to push a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down time after time, the Afro-American has been repeatedly disappointed in his ascent to freedom. In the African he recognizes a fellow Sisyphus.

An analysis of this organizationoccurs, citing the functions of subgroups like the Universal African Legions and the Universal African Motor Corps.
