SCOPE NOTE The papers of Rayford Whittingham Logan (1897-1982), educator, administrator, author and civil rights activist, document his personal life, career as an educator at Howard University, and his role as a prolific author on a number of topics. These papers date from circa 1917, when Dr. Logan was enlisted in the U.S. Army, through the 1980's. They were acquired by Moorland-Spingarn from Dr. Logan's executor, Dr. Michael Winston, in 1983. There are approximately 43.5 linear feet or 36.2 cubic feet of materials. Correspondence, speeches, writings by Dr. Logan and photographs are featured in these papers. Some teaching materials from his tenure at Howard University are also included, as well as materials from organizations with which Dr. Logan was associated such as Alpha Phi Alpha, the Peace Corps and UNESCO. Among his writings are his unpublished autobiography and manuscripts of other writings covering topics such as Africa, the Negro in America, civil rights, Howard University, and international human rights. The administrative files from the first edition of the Dictionary of American Negro Biography can also be found in the collection; however, they are restricted at this time. 2 Biographical Sketch Rayford Whittingham Logan 1897 January 7 Born in Washington, D.C. to Arthur Charles and Martha Ann Logan. 1913 Graduated from M Street High School, Washington, D.C. 1914-17 Attended Williams College.

Fall 2004 Gates, Henry Louis Jr., Editor and Higginbotham, Evelyn Brooks, Editor. African American Lives. Oxford University Press, $55.00 ISBN 019516024X 611 voices Fleshing out historical figures The scholarly literature on African American history has grown dramatically since the 1982 publication of Rayford Logan and Michl Winston's Dictionary of American Negro Biography. Since that time, scholars have drawn upon unexamined primary sources, applied new methodologies to old questions, and published a wealth of monographs and syntheses that both complicate and expand our understanding of the experiences, history, and influences of Africans and their American-born descendants. The editors of African American Lives, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, make the most of the scholarly developments of the last two decades. These two respected and distinguished scholars have combined their expertise with those of the fellows at Harvard University's W.E.B. DuBois Institute for African and African American Research, and the editors of Oxford University Press to create a thorough and engaging reference work. African American Lives includes 611 alphabetically organized biographies ranging from the sixteenth century to the present day. They include the experiences of the most well known black Americans, the life histories of the once-famous and now-forgotten, and a number of ordinary people, whose lives of distinction shaped the contours and content of U.S.

    CBCF CHAIR'S MESSAGE "AFoundation Expanding Opportunities" n he history of Black America is the history ofa people BTf who have overcome tremendous odds, triumphed over the adversity of slavery and segregation, and found opportunity in hardship. we come together for the 21st Annual Legislative Weekend, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rAsproud to celebrate these achievements and to help chart a course for the future that willenable us to continue to build on the successes of the past. The civil rights era inaugurated by Thurgood j^ Marshall and other champions of justice was marked by the \u25a0 passage of landmark legislation banning discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and the voting booth. Thanks to this watershed period of progress in our Congressman Alan Wheat nation's recent past, an unprecedented number of Black Americans are now beginning to realize economic security. Yetrecent events have shown us that we cannot take these gains for granted. Although a vibrant and growing Black middle-class willcontinue to make headway in the 19905, a dismaying portion of our population faces a bleak future as a result of governmental indifference and neglect during the last ten years. An increasingly hostile Supreme Court has begun to chip away at the legal underpinnings of our nation's antibias safety net and the current Administration has shown itself willingto play racial politics withlegislative safeguards against discrimination. In the face of these new obstacles to progress, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rising to the challenge of developing strategies to address the inequities that continue to confront modern society and to create new opportunities for an increasingly diverse Black American population.

  • Black Williams: a Written History
    BLACK WILLIAMS: A WRITTEN HISTORY WILLIAMS COLLEGE BLACK STUDENT UNION INTRODUCTION “In order to know where you are going, you must know where you came from.” It was that very belief that raised questions in the minds of Williams Black Student Union board members in the spring of 2002. The BSU board in 2002–2003 was composed mainly of freshmen who hadn’t yet been acquainted with the oral history of the BSU. This realization led the board to seek out information about the history of the BSU that could be passed on to incoming freshmen and also be made available to all its members. The fact that the history is so rich—and turbulent—further necessitated the writing of this history. However, the search for information in the likeliest places proved futile: there was no summary record of the BSU available. Therefore, that spring the BSU decided to create a complete history of the Union that would include all of the events that led to its creation, the events that led to the acquisition of Rice House, and, as nearly as possible, all that has happened on campus since the creation of the Union that affected its membership. This idea was submitted to Prof. Tess Chakalakal for her evaluation and advice in the summer of 2002. She suggested that we elaborate on an already solid foundation. Not only was there a need for a record of the rich history of the BSU, she said, but also of the blacks who attended Williams: a written, accessible history of Williams’ illustrious black graduates would not only inform current students but would attract prospective students —especially black students—to Williams.

  • Download the African American History Readings List
    In the Age of Social Media and national chaos, almost everyone holds and shares passionate opinions on race and politics in America. However, as technology-driven platforms routinely encourage sound bites and abridged nuggets of communication as standard forms of information sharing, people often accept and pass along headlines and briefs as the primary informants to their perspectives and miss out on deep reading. This does not mean people do not want or have an interest in more comprehensive insight. In fact, this list was compiled in response to common requests for reading recommendations in Black history. The nation is transforming and all kinds of people are seeking to make sense of the world in which they find themselves. There is also an ever-growing movement to build a new one. But, how? The first step medical doctors usually take in determining a route toward healing and general wellness is to reference an individual’s medical history. Perhaps, then, a serious, honest and deep study of Africans in United States and world history will be one of our society’s most decisive steps toward general wellness. So much of this list is comprised of writings from Ancestors, activists, historians, scholars, creatives and others who, with time-consuming effort and minimal compensation, recorded major epochs, events and issues within the Black experience. To ignore their work is to ensure our demise. Semi-understanding race and the making of America will lead to futile opinions without solutions and more cycles of the same. Remember, a valuable doctor is an intensely informed one, and we must all serve as surgeons operating for a new day with a new heartbeat.
