It builds on previous scholarship of black photography by analyzing photographers’ business and personal records in concert with their images in order to more critically consider the circumstances under which African Americans produced and consumed photographs every day.

  • NEGRO PUBLICATIONS. Newspapers. When Federal Troops
    NEGRO PUBLICATIONS. Newspapers. When federal troops marched into Oxford, Miss., following the desegrega­ tion of the University of Mississippi in September 1962, the circulation of Negro newspapers across the country reached an all-year high. As the tension subsided and it became apparent that James H. Meredith, the first known Negro ever to be enrolled by "Ole Miss,” would be allowed to remain, the aggregate circulation of Negro newspapers dwindled again to an approximate 1.5 million. Since the end of World War II, when the nation’s Negro newspapers began a general decline in both number and cir­ culation, racial crises have been the principal spur to periodic —and usually temporary—circulation increases. The editor of a Detroit Negro weekly equated the survival of the Negro press with the prevailing degree of Jim Crow. "If racial discrimination and enforced segregation were ended tomor­ row,” he suggested, "the Negro press would all but disappear from the national scene.” While this statement is a deliberate oversimplification of the situation, it is borne out, to some extent, by the recent history of the Negro press. In 1948, six years before the Supreme Court desegregation decision, there were some 202 Negro newspapers with a total circulation of 3 million. But in 1962, according to the annual report of the Lincoln (Mo.) University School of Journalism, the number of Negro news­ papers—daily, weekly, semiweekly, and biweekly—had shrunk to 133, with a gross circulation of just over half the 1948 figure. The Pittsburgh Courier, which in 1948 boasted a national weekly circulation of 300,000, now sells about 86,000 copies in its various editions.

  • Harlem ANN PETRY
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From Ann Petry: The Street, The Narrows (Library of America, 2019), pages 766–75. Originally published in the April 1949 issue of Holiday. Copyright © 1949, 1977 by Ann Petry. Published by arrangement with Elisabeth Petry. Harlem ANN PETRY HE SHADOW OF THE PAST hangs heavily over Harlem, ob- Tscuring its outlines, obliterating its true face. During the Prohibition era Harlem was described, usually with laughter, as a vast gin mill— a place where everybody manufactured synthetic gin in bathtubs, washtubs and kitchen sinks, where corn liquor bubbled in stills that steamed in dank basements, littered alleyways and back yards. Those were the days when experienced pub crawlers, having made the rounds of the speakeasies in midtown Manhattan, headed for Harlem, where the joints stayed open right around the clock; when it was whispered that the cops and the Federal agents kept their heads turned the other way, and that you could buy anything in Harlem from human flesh to dope be- cause the Dutchman (the late Dutch Schultz) paid off in crisp, new, hundred- dollar bills. During the ’30s, those lost, bitter years of the depression, Harlem became known as a city of evictions, relief bureaus and bread lines, where half of the people lived on “the Relief.” So- cial workers complained, in those days, that Harlemites were importing hundreds of their ragged Southern relatives — their sick old mothers, their rachitic and illegitimate children — who were supposed to have been supplied with faked baptismal cer- tificates so that they could meet the residence requirements and share in New York’s comparatively bountiful relief funds.

  • Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Vol 7 No 35 May 2015
    Issue 35 May 2015 Baseball in the CBI Initially important to the Allied war effort because of plans to invade Japan from the Chinese mainland, the China-Burma-India Theater (CBI) became mainly an effort to keep China supplied and in the war, and is often referred to as the forgotten theater of World War II. Only about 250,000 Americans (approximately 2% of those mobilized during the war years) were assigned to the CBI. The Army Air Force flew supplies over “The Hump” from India to China, fought the Japanese in the air over China and Burma, and used B-29 Superfortresses to bomb mainland Japan. Merrill's Marauders and the Mars Task Force fought through the jungles of Burma and Army Engineers built the Ledo Road, a supply lifeline from India to China. Professional baseball scattered its family all across the globe during World War II, and the CBI was no exception. Hank Greenberg and Buddy Lewis are the two best-known major leaguers to serve in the theater, but they are by no means the only ones. The following pages provide details on the big leaguers, minor leaguers and Negro League players who served in the CBI, as well as giving an insight into the role baseball played in this area during those years. Major League Players in the CBI Bill Atwood, Phillies catcher from 1936 to 1940 Harry Boyles, White Sox pitcher in 1938 and 1939 Bubba Church, post-war National League pitcher George Crowe, post-war Negro and National League first baseman John “Red” Davis, Giants third baseman in 1941 Ray Dobens, Red Sox pitcher in 1929 Hank Greenberg, Hall of Fame first baseman whose career spanned 1930 to 1947 Bob Kuzava, post-war major league pitcher Buddy Lewis, Senators all-star outfielder from 1935 to 1949 Jim Thorpe, Olympic athlete and National League outfielder from 1913 to 1919 Bill Atwood Jersey City of the Class AA International League in A keen civilian pilot, Bill 1941 and was signed by the Hollywood Stars of the Atwood made his big Pacific Coast League for 1942.

  • Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance
    Choreographing a New World: Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance Joanna Dee Das Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 ! 2014 Joanna Dee Das All rights reserved ABSTRACT Choreographing a New World: Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance Joanna Dee Das This dissertation analyzes the intellectual and political contributions of choreographer Katherine Dunham (1909-2006). As an African American woman, Dunham broke several barriers of race and gender, first as an anthropologist conducting ethnographic fieldwork in the Caribbean in the 1930s, and second as the artistic director of a major dance company that toured the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia from the 1930s through the 1960s. She also wrote several scholarly books and articles, opened multiple schools, and served on the boards of numerous arts organizations. Although Dunham’s contributions to anthropology and dance are vitally important, “Choreographing a New World” emphasizes her political engagement. Through actions both onstage and off, she helped strengthen the transnational ties of black social movements from the New Negro Movement to the Black Power Movement. In particular, the dissertation contends that Dunham made dance one of the primary forces in the creation and perpetuation of the African diaspora. She herself attempted to live diaspora by forging personal connections across racial, linguistic, national, class, and cultural borders. In order to shift the focus to Dunham’s intellectual and political engagement, “Choreographing a New World” turns to previously untapped archival sources. This dissertation is the first scholarly work on Dunham to examine archives from the U.S.
