  • Letter to a Loved
    Dear Loved One, To begin, I love you and I appreciate everything you’ve done for me throughout my life. You have been an incredibly supportive force and it has meant a lot to have you cheering me on as I have traversed life’s ups and downs. And I agree, we have been watching and listening to the folks who have lost everything. For eight minutes and forty-six seconds I watched as a police officer, sworn to protect his community, slowly asphyxiated a Black man repeatedly pleading for his life. I watched as two men accosted and murdered a Black man in Georgia, because he had the audacity to allegedly look at a construction site. I listened as a Black man pleaded for the police to protect him after plain clothes police officers executed a no-knock raid on his home and fatally shot his girlfriend as she lay in bed – a no-knock raid looking for an individual the police already had in custody. In fact, for my entire life I’ve watched and listened as my community has fallen victim again and again to a militarized police department too quick to pull the trigger and too slow to police itself. The recurring atrocity of a police officer killing an unarmed Black American has persisted from the very founding of our Nation to the moment your eyes touch this sentence. At our Nation’s founding, night watches and paddyrollers, the early manifestations of our modern police force, roamed plantations searching for and killing slaves who had the courage to run from the indignities of slavery.

  • 2019 Education Curriculum Guide
    Tennessee Academic Standards 2019 EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Celebrates Memphis in 2019 For the fi rst time in its 43-year history, Memphis in May breaks with tradition to make the City of Memphis and Shelby County the year-long focus of its annual salute. Rather than another country, the 2019 Memphis in May Festival honors Memphis and Shelby County as both celebrate their bicentennials and the start of a new century for the city and county. Memphis has changed the world and will continue to change the world. We are a city of doers, dreamers, and believers. We create, we invent, we experiment; and this year, we invite the world to experience our beautiful home on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Bluff City…Home of the Blues, Soul, and Rock & Roll…a city where “Grit and Grind” are more than our team’s slogan, they’re who we are: determined, passionate, authentic, soulful, unstoppable. With more than a million residents in its metro area, the City of Memphis is a city of authenticity and diversity where everyone is welcomed. While some come because of its reputation as a world-renown incubator of talent grown from its rich musical legacy, Memphis draws many to its leading hospital and research systems, putting Memphis at the leading edge of medical and bioscience innovation. Situated nearly in the middle of the United States at the crossroads of major interstates, rail lines, the world’s second-busiest cargo airport, and the fourth-largest inland port on the Mississippi River, Memphis moves global commerce as the leader in transportation and logistics.

  • Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960S Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft
    Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft-- Manuscript Number: JREP-D-16-00087R1 Full Title: Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts Article Type: Research Article Corresponding Author: Richard Johnson Oxford University Oxford, UNITED KINGDOM Corresponding Author Secondary Information: Corresponding Author's Institution: Oxford University Corresponding Author's Secondary Institution: First Author: Richard Johnson First Author Secondary Information: Order of Authors: Richard Johnson Order of Authors Secondary Information: Abstract: Scholars have credited the victory of Edward Brooke, America's first popularly elected black United States senator, to a 'deracialised' or 'colour-blind' election strategy in which both the candidate and the electorate ignored racial matters. This article revises this prevailing historical explanation of Brooke's election. Drawing from the historical- ideational paradigm of Desmond King and Rogers Smith, this paper argues that Brooke was much more of a 'race-conscious' candidate than is generally remembered. Primary documents from the 1966 campaign reveal that Brooke spoke openly against racial inequality, arguing in favour of racially targeted policies and calling for stronger racial equality legislation. In addition, this paper argues that Brooke's appeals were not targeted primarily to the state's small black population but to liberal whites. Far from ignoring race, internal campaign documents and interviews with campaign staff reveal that Brooke's campaign strategists sought to appeal to white desires to 'do the right thing' by electing an African American. Internal polling documents from the Brooke campaign and newspaper commentaries further demonstrate that a proportion of the white electorate cited Brooke's race as the reason for supporting his candidacy.

  • Introduction to the American Civil Rights Movement
    Introduction to the American Civil Rights Movement By Mikhaela Barnes With special help from Connor McNellis Impact of the Civil War, Reconstruction and Jim Crow Laws The Beginnings of Slavery ❖ Slavery was introduced to the new colonies within the U.S. in 1619 in order to aid the settlers in the production of crops. ❖ The practice of slavery bled into the 17th and 18th century. Throughout this period of time, slaves become a huge factor of economic success for agriculture. ❖ In 1793 the creation of Eli Whitney’s cotton gin solidified the need for slaves throughout the country. ❖ Westward expansion became a huge ordeal within the 17th century, and along with it, the question as to whether or not slavery was immoral came along with it. ❖ The disagreement was over the issue of states rights and slavery. A number of states, mainly in the south, used agriculture as a main source of income. As a result, many of the states these states relied on slaves to work their land, and saw their abolition as the The Civil War government unlawfully taking their property ❖ Within this war, a total of 620,000 men, both Union and Confederate, gave their lives in this war. The Civil War was an internal conflict that lasted from 1861 to 1865. ❖ On May 9th, 1865 the Civil War was over and the abolition of slavery was spread throughout all states. Reconstruction: Results of the Civil War ❖ For the 12 years after the civil war (1865-1887) the union army controlled the south using martial law. ❖ This controlled environment eased the transition in the south by controlling terrorist groups such as the KKK and White Man’s League.
