AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS on Microfilm at the University of Georgia Libraries AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS on Microfilm at the University of Georgia Libraries 2nd Edition, 2006 Compiled by Leigh Ann Vey with the assistance of William T. Murray (and a host of other predecessors) African American Newspapers At the University of Georgia Libraries Ed. 2 2006 i African American Newspapers At the University of Georgia Libraries 2nd Edition 2006 Foreword & Acknowledgments The importance of African-Americans in the history of the United States cannot be overstated. For anyone wishing to understand the development of this nation from the earliest days of the republic to the issues currently facing the nation, some understanding of African- American history and culture is prerequisite. Newspapers published and written by African- Americans are an important link to this history. In them are recorded views, viewpoints, people, news, and events of great importance not only to local communities, but the nation and world at large. As well, these are rich resources for insights into cultural aspects of African-American life, as evidenced by the many stories and advertisements about theatres, musical events, including clubs, concerts, and dances, society happenings, fashion, business and trade. Various African-American newspapers have been collected over time at the University of Georgia Libraries for use by its students, faculty, and researchers. These collections consist primarily of microfilm format and the content ranges dates from 1826 to the present era. In some cases, these titles were acquired piecemeal, as research needs required, and in other cases they were purchased as a part of other collections. The resulting microfilm is not considered “a collection” in the formal sense and many individual newspaper titles are cataloged independently of the rest. Obviously, for the purposes of studying African-American history, having a guide to these various titles and collections would be most useful. But this has not been an easy task. The effort to assemble this guide has literally spanned nearly two decades and has involved many people. Richard Shedenhelm deserves credit for putting together teams of people to do early survey work and the results of their work in the late 1990s and early 2000s took the form of the important Afro-American Newspapers on Microfilm at UGA. Working under his guidance were Christi Bamford, Thomas Boyd, Marisa Faiz, Jesse Foley, Joshua Hickman, Katha Massey, Tim Murray, Daniel Nash, Lisa Pittman, Shashank Saksena, Laura Shedenhelm, Rachel Smith and Paul Van Wicklen. This edition adds to those previous efforts. One of the goals of this effort was to reform the previous data, melding it into new information, and producing a distributable guide in both print and PDF formats. Much of this effort was performed by Leigh Ann Vey, who carefully viewed many of the reels listed here to determine correct dates, places of origin, and other peculiarities. Along the way, she discovered copies of issues not listed in previous guides, errors and omissions in other guides, clarified vague information, and sought to resolve problems of duplication. Taking the results of her work, Tim Murray sought to form all this information into a database to permit ease of sorting, formatting, and revision. ii Introduction This guide seeks to answer what, where, and when questions pertaining to African American Newspapers within the University of Georgia Libraries microfilm collection. It is divided into three sections. Title Listing Title, City, State, Date(s), Call Number State Listing State, City, Title, Date(s), Call Number Notes are included for some titles. Chronological Listing Year, Title, City, State, Call Number This edition is an attempt to bring information from a variety of sources into a single guide. Since the University of Georgia Libraries holds copies (on microfilm) of a variety of African American Newspapers, it seems reasonable that a comprehensive guide should be available. However, in the past, most guides have been those pertaining to specific collections of African American Newspapers and have often omitted those holdings outside of these collections. Hopefully this guide will help remedy that situation. Yet, this guide may not be complete. During our survey of the microfilm holdings, we may have missed titles or issues of titles. Much of this information was assembled by actually viewing the microfilm content; if a reel was missing during that survey period, we may not have realized it. The users of this guide are encouraged to let us know if errors or omissions have occurred. Of course, there is the possibility that new additions to our holdings may be made in the future which may make this guide obsolete or at least incomplete. Like those on whose efforts this edition builds, it is our hope that this guide will prove useful for some time to come. Leigh Ann Vey, William T.

  • Negroes Are Different in Dixie: the Press, Perception, and Negro League Baseball in the Jim Crow South, 1932 by Thomas Aiello Research Essay ______
    NEGROES ARE DIFFERENT IN DIXIE: THE PRESS, PERCEPTION, AND NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE JIM CROW SOUTH, 1932 BY THOMAS AIELLO RESEARCH ESSAY ______________________________________________ “Only in a Negro newspaper can a complete coverage of ALL news effecting or involving Negroes be found,” argued a Southern Newspaper Syndicate advertisement. “The good that Negroes do is published in addition to the bad, for only by printing everything fit to read can a correct impression of the Negroes in any community be found.”1 Another argued that, “When it comes to Negro newspapers you can’t measure Birmingham or Atlanta or Memphis Negroes by a New York or Chicago Negro yardstick.” In a brief section titled “Negroes Are Different in Dixie,” the Syndicate’s evaluation of the Southern and Northern black newspaper readers was telling: Northern Negroes may ordain it indecent to read a Negro newspaper more than once a week—but the Southern Negro is more consolidated. Necessity has occasioned this condition. Most Southern white newspapers exclude Negro items except where they are infamous or of a marked ridiculous trend… While his northern brother is busily engaged in ‘getting white’ and ruining racial consciousness, the Southerner has become more closely knit.2 The advertisement was designed to announce and justify the Atlanta World’s reformulation as the Atlanta Daily World, making it the first African-American daily. This fact alone probably explains the advertisement’s “indecent” comment, but its “necessity” argument seems far more legitimate.3 For example, the 1932 Monroe Morning World, a white daily from Monroe, Louisiana, provided coverage of the black community related almost entirely to crime and church meetings.

  • Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman's Town
    Roads to Destruction: Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman’s Town by Cynthia Lewis Like most American cities following World War II, Dallas entered a period of economic prosperity, and city leaders, like their counterparts throughout the nation, sought to maximize that prosperity through various urban renewal initiatives.1 Black urban communities across the country, branded as blighted areas, fell victim to the onslaught of postwar urban redevelopment as city leaders initiated massive renewal projects aimed at both bolstering the appeal and accessibility of the urban center and clearing out large sections of urban black neighborhoods. Between the years 1943 and 1983, Dallas city officials directed a series of massive redevelopment projects that decimated each of the city’s black communities, displacing thousands and leaving these communities in a state of disarray.2 This paper, which focuses on the historically black Dallas community of North Dallas, argues that residential segregation, which forced the growth and evolution of North Dallas, ultimately led to the development of slum conditions that made North Dallas a target for postwar slum clearance projects which only served to exacerbate blight within the community. Founded in 1869 by former slaves, North Dallas, formerly known as Freedman’s Town, is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Dallas.3 Located just northeast of downtown and bounded by four cemeteries to the north and white-owned homes to the south, east, and west, the area became the largest and most densely populated black settlement in the city. Residential segregation played a pivotal role in the establishment and evolution of North Dallas, as it did with most black urban communities across the country.4 Racial segregation in Dallas, with its roots in antebellum, began to take 1 For an in-depth analysis of the United States’ postwar economy, see Postwar Urban America: Demography, Economics, and Social Policies by John F.

Wood iii Copyright © 2019 Kelly Clayton iv ABSTRACT FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 Kelly Clayton, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2019 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky PhD The entertainment landscape of post-World War II Dallas, Texas included striptease in different types of venues. Travelling and local striptease acts performed at the city’s annual fair and in several nightclubs in the city. In the late 1940s, the fair featured striptease as the headlining act, and one of the city’s newspapers, the Dallas Morning News, described the dancers as the most popular attraction of the largest fair in the United States. Further, the newspaper reporting congratulated the men who ran the fair for providing Texans with these popular entertainment options. The dancers who performed at the fair also showcased their talents at area nightclubs to mixed gender audiences. Dallas welcomed striptease as an acceptable form of entertainment. However, in the early 1950s, the tone and tenor of the striptease coverage changed. The State Fair of Texas executives decried striptease as “soiled” and low-class. Dancers performed in nightclubs, but the newspaper began to report on one particular entertainer, Candy Barr, and her many tangles with law enforcement.

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

  • 1 After Slavery & Reconstruction: the Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliogr
    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.

  • Finding and Using African American Newspapers
    Finding and Using African American Newspapers Timothy N.
