Can the South Be Redeemed?
The Bitter Southerner Podcast: Can the South Be Redeemed? Chuck Reece (00:00:04): Hello again my friends and welcome to the final episode of The Bitter Southerner Podcast, second season. We are, as always, co-produced with the good people of Georgia Public Broadcasting and for our grand finale this season, we're going to attempt to answer a question that to every true hearted southerner is among the most difficult ever. Can the South be redeemed? (Rain FX and music up and udner). Chuck Reece (00:00:40): There's a giant fly in the ointment of Southern culture, and for centuries, white southerners have tried to deny it or Just ignore it, but it's deep in the source material of every little piece, every single artifact of our region's culture. And the fly I'm talking about of course, is slavery and the racial terror and oppression that followed it, and which sadly follow it still. Now I have to be open here, I'm a white guy. I'll be 60 years old, 11 months from now, but I've always known from the first minute I was exposed to it that racism is wrong. I was taught that all God's children were equal, and I was lucky enough to have a family that taught me that. But in general, why people in the South have been blind to the ways that we have benefited and continue to benefit from the violent lies of white supremacy. Chuck Reece (00:01:40): And for some of my listeners, especially people of color, you may need to bear with me in this episode because I'm waking up to my own need to name these things, to hear and see the full truth of them and to erase what white kids of my generation were taught and replace that with the truth.

Teaching African American Discourse: Lessons of a Recovering Segregationist
Teaching African American Discourse: Lessons of a Recovering Segregationist Calvin M. Logue1 In the early 1970s at the University of Georgia I developed and taught a course in “Black Rhetoric” seven times. (Later we were fortunate to engage an African Amer- ican professor to adopt and further develop the class.) The first challenge, after compiling a working prospectus, was getting the course approved. At this time there was no Black Studies program at the Uni- versity of Georgia, only isolated courses in such disciplines as history, sociology, and probably literature. After submitting a proposed syllabus and extensive reading list to the Curriculum Committee of the College of Arts and Sciences, sometime later I was called before those representatives from the sciences, social sciences, fine arts, and humanities to explain why Black rhetoric should be studied at a univer- sity. A professor asked, “Are you going to teach our students to speak like Stokely Carmichael?,” one of the many advocates included in the syllabus. Eventually the proposal was approved. Looking back on that time, over forty years ago, I was probably among a num- ber of white teachers feeling increasingly concerned and guilty about the long sea- son of abuse experienced by African Americans in the United States in general and my southland in particular. We were presenting and hearing papers at conventions on the need for African American studies and the difficulty of accessing copies of speeches, writings, and other materials by African American activists that could be made available feasibly to students. Thinking about it now, my efforts in the classroom at the time, when contrasted with the dangers confronted by African Americans daily and when sitting-in restaurants, marching in hostile streets, con- fronting police dogs and fire hoses, and being jailed, were tame indeed.

In this course, we will approach this learning project by addressing the broader social and political contexts within which American journalism has developed. Through a process of inquiry, we will learn about how journalists have defined conflicts between elites and workers, men and women, and how they have constructed definitions of racial and ethnic groups. In this way, this course and the text that Prof. Tom Oates and I have written for it, Defining the Mainstream: A Critical News Reader, addresses the origins, themes, and continuities of the press, both mainstream and minority. This perspective comes from examining exemplary (and, sometimes, exceptional) moments, as well as developing an understanding of more usual journalistic reactions and practices across time. In these discussions, I want to show you how and why journalism has played a part in defining social meaning in America. While the history of American journalism is rich with heroic stories about how journalists shaped and were shaped by events and trends, the content of the class about journalism will be new to almost all of you.

"The Implacable Surge of History": Investigating Jewish Activism in Atlanta During the Civil Rights Movement Abstract Existing works on southern Jewry illustrate how most southern Jews were concerned with self- preservation during the Civil Rights Movement. Many historians have untangled perceptions of southern Jewish detachment from civil rights issues to explain how individuals and communities were torn between their sympathy towards the African- American plight and Jewish vulnerability during a period of heightened racial tension. This project draws connections among the American Civil Rights Movement, the southern Jewish experience, and Atlanta race relations in order to identify instances of southern Jewish involvement in the fight for acialr equality. What were the forms of activism Jews chose, the circumstances that shaped those decisions, and the underlying goals behind them? Studying Atlanta’s Jewish communities during the 1950s and 1960s helps broaden the conversation on Jewish activism, raise questions of southern Jewish identity, and uncover distinctive avenues for change.
