    PROGRESSIVES: CIVIL RIGHTS: IT’S TIME FOR SOME CHANGE! Unit 4 Progressives Booker T. Washington £ Black educator, reformer and social activists £ Was actually born a slave! £ Urged African Americans to abandon their efforts to win full civil rights and political power and instead cultivate their industrial and farming skills so as to attain economic security (accommodation). £ “No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.” Washington’s Philosophy £ Preached a philosophy of self-help , racial solidarity and accomodation . He urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and concentrate on elevating themselves through hard work and material prosperity. £ He believed in education in the crafts, industrial and farming skills and the cultivation of the virtues of patience, enterprise and thrift. £ Passive £ He believed that whites would gain respect of African Americans through the hard-work Tuskegee Institution £ A private, Historically Black University located in Tuskegee, Alabama, USA, established by Booker T. Washington . £ In 1881, Booker T. Washington arrived in Alabama and started the Tuskegee Normal School for colored teachers £ He recruited the best and the brightest to come and teach here including George Washington Carver who arrived in 1896. £ Carver’s innovations in agriculture, especially with peanuts, expanded Tuskegee’s standing throughout the country. Atlanta Compromise Speech Washington gave a speech : an agreement struck in 1895 between African-American leaders and Southern white leaders £ Social Contract 1. Southern blacks would work meekly and submit to white political rule, while Southern whites guaranteed that blacks would receive basic education and due process in law (something that was supposed to enforced from the 14 th Amendment).

Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.

  • Silent Parade of 1917
    Silent Parade of 1917 It’s the summer of 1917, and the United States has now joined World War I. Overseas, black men are fighting for their country. At home, black men are still being lynched. W.E.B. Du Bois believes that a protest march is in order. Mob violence against African-Americans, and crowd- gathering lynches, are occurring in: East St. Louis (where angry whites believe that blacks are taking their jobs; Memphis (where Ell Persons—believed to have murdered a 16-year-old white girl when authorities say her eyes reveal the face of her alleged killer—is burned alive in front of thousands of people in broad daylight); and Waco (where, in 1916, Jesse Washington suffered a similar fate in front of 15-20,000 people). Du Bois, and many others, wonder: When will such violence end? Why is the law not protecting black citizens? The NAACP organizes a protest march to take place in New York City. It will be a march marked by silence. Its participants will wear white. Their footsteps will be accompanied by the sound of muffled drums. Hoping for at least 10,000 participants, organizers distribute an invitation to march. Among other things, the invitation spells-out key reasons to participate: We march because by the Grace of God and the force of truth, the dangerous, hampering walls of prejudice and inhuman injustices must fall. We march because we want to make impossible a repetition of Waco, Memphis and East St. Louis, by rousing the conscience of the country and bring the murderers of our brothers, sisters and innocent children to justice.

    A Love/Hate Story in Black and White Directed by Lou Bellamy A Penumbra Theatre Company Production October 19 – November 12, 2017 ©2017 Penumbra Theatre Company Wedding Band Penumbra’s 2017-2018 Season: Crossing Lines A Letter from the Artistic Director, Sarah Bellamy Fifty years ago a young couple was thrust into the national spotlight because they fought for their love to be recognized. Richard and Mildred Loving, aptly named, didn’t intend to change history—they just wanted to protect their family. They took their fight to the highest court and with Loving v. The State of Virginia, the Supreme Court declared anti-miscegenation law unconstitutional. The year was 1967. We’re not far from that fight. Even today interracial couples and families are met with curiosity, scrutiny, and in this racially tense time, contempt. They represent an anxiety about a breakdown of racial hierarchy in the U.S. that goes back centuries. In 2017 we find ourselves defending progress we never imagined would be imperiled, but we also find that we are capable of reaching beyond ourselves to imagine our worlds anew. This season we explore what happens when the boundlessness of love meets the boundaries of our identities. Powerful drama and provocative conversations will inspire us to move beyond the barriers of our skin toward the beating of our hearts. Join us to celebrate the courage of those who love outside the lines, who fight to be all of who they are, an in doing so, urge us to manifest a more loving, inclusive America. ©2017 Penumbra Theatre Company 2 Wedding Band Table of Contents Introductory Material ........................................................................................................................

  • Collected Commentary on the Ku Klux Klan
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y HE WENTIES IN OMMENTARY T T C * — The Ku Klux Klan — Spreading far beyond its southern Reconstruction roots, the resurgent Klan of the 1920s was a short-lived but potent phenomenon. By equating white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism with “true Americanism,” it fueled intolerance for blacks, Catholics, Jews, immigrants, and those it deemed immoral and lawless. Under the guise of patriotism and Christianity, it justified acts of intimidation and vigilante justice. As the Klan grew nationally, many “klaverns” eschewed violence while fostering suspicion and prejudice toward “the other” in their communities. The following selections from commentary on and by the Klan offer an overview of this pivotal movement of the 1920s. BACK TO LIFE AND VERY ACTIVE AFTER FORTY YEARS! W. E. B. Du Bois This is the thrilling story that one hears today in various “The Ku Klux Are Riding Again!” parts of the South. The old Klan with its white-robed citizens The Crisis, March 1919 going out to maintain the supremacy of the white race, as depicted by Thomas Dixon and his satellite, D. W. Griffith,1 has again come to life. Read this article printed in a daily in Montgomery, Ala.: __ KU KLUX KLANSMEN SUGGEST SILENT PARADE! __ The city of Montgomery was visited last night by a Ku Klux Klan that bore all the earmarks of the ancient honorable order that placed white supremacy back in the saddle after a reign or terror for several years by Negroes and scalawags. About one hundred white-robed figures silently paraded through the town and, as the paper specially mentioned, went into that section where the Negroes lived.
