(Extra)ORDINARY MEN
(Extra)ORDINARY MEN: African-American Lawyers and Civil Rights in Arkansas Before 1950 Judith Kilpatrick* “The remarkable thing is not that black men attempted to regain their stolen civic rights, but that they tried over and over again, using a wide va- riety of techniques.”1 I. INTRODUCTION Arkansas has a tradition, beginning in 1865, of African- American attorneys who were active in civil rights. During the eighty years following the Emancipation Proclamation, at least sixty-nine African-American men were admitted to practice law in the state.2 They were all men of their times, frequently hold- * Associate Professor, University of Arkansas School of Law; J.S.D. 1999, LL.M. 1992, Columbia University, J.D. 1975, B.A. 1972, University of California-Berkeley.

Stewart Dissertation 20126.Pdf
Copyright by Anna Rebecca Stewart 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Anna Rebecca Stewart certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Beyond Obsolescence: The Reconstruction of Abolitionist Texts Committee: Coleman Hutchison, Co-Supervisor Michael Winship, Co-Supervisor Evan Carton Gretchen Murphy Jacqueline Jones Beyond Obsolescence: The Reconstruction of Abolitionist Texts by Anna Rebecca Stewart, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2012 Dedication For Sam, with love and gratitude. Acknowledgements As an avid reader of acknowledgements sections, I am always curious about the conversations that sparked and enlivened projects as well as the relationships that sustained their writers. As I turn to write my own for this dissertation project, I realize just how impossible it is to sum up those intellectual and personal debts—the many kindnesses, questions, and encouragements that have helped me navigate this dissertation process and my own development as a thinker and writer. Coleman Hutchison and Michael Winship have been staunch supporters and careful readers, modeling the kind of mentor-teacher-scholars that we all aspire to be but can often only hope to become through the gift of such examples. Early in my graduate school career, Michael taught me a valuable lesson about not committing to projects, even short semester papers, that did not capture my imagination and interest. Our conversations kept me engaged and deep in the archive, where my project first began to take shape and where I found my footing as a researcher. -

Black Women's Music Database
By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established. Beginning with publications like The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern (1971) and African American Music by Mellonee Burnim and Portia Maultsby (2006), -
The Sounds of Liberation: Resistance, Cultural Retention, and Progressive Traditions for Social Justice in African American Music
THE SOUNDS OF LIBERATION: RESISTANCE, CULTURAL RETENTION, AND PROGRESSIVE TRADITIONS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Professional Studies by Luqman Muhammad Abdullah May 2009 © 2009 Luqman Muhammad Abdullah ABSTRACT The cultural production of music in the Black community has traditionally operated as much more than a source of entertainment. In fact, my thesis illustrates how progressive traditions for social justice in Black music have acted as a source of agency and a tool for resistance against oppression. This study also explains how the music of African Americans has served as a primary mechanism for disseminating their cultural legacy. I have selected four Black artists who exhibit the aforementioned principles in their musical production. Bernice Johnson Reagon, John Coltrane, Curtis Mayfield and Gil Scott-Heron comprise the talented cadre of musicians that exemplify the progressive Black musical tradition for social justice in their respective genres of gospel, jazz, soul and spoken word. The methods utilized for my study include a socio-historical account of the origins of Black music, an overview of the artists’ careers, and a lyrical analysis of selected songs created by each of the artists. This study will contribute to the body of literature surrounding the progressive roles, functions and utilities of African American music. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH My mother garners the nickname “gypsy” from her siblings due to the fact that she is always moving and relocating to new and different places. -
Let Freedom Sing! Four African-American Concert Singers in Nineteenth-Century America
LET FREEDOM SING! FOUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONCERT SINGERS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICA By SONYA R. GABLE-WILSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Sonya R. Gable-Wilson ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Special thanks are given to my husband, Ken Wilson. Without his never-ending love, support (both mentally and financially), encouragement, and many, many sacrifices, I could not have persevered and completed this project. Throughout this task I also had the joy of working with a great committee: Elizabeth Graham, Raymond Chobaz, Arthur Jennings, Brian Ward, and David Kushner. This group gave frequent advice, new ideas, and often steered me toward a more objective direction. I am especially grateful to David Kushner, not only for his wisdom, guidance, patience, and many chats over the past several years, but also for instilling in so many students a love of musicology. Most of all, many thanks go to all of these people for believing in my success. This project would not have existed without the assistance of many individuals in various public libraries, city halls, and universities nationwide, who contributed their time and efforts in helping with this research. Special thanks are given to the University of Florida music librarians, Robena Cornwell and Michelle Wilbanks-Fox, for their knowledge and continued support over the years. Without these ladies, this huge task would have been impossible. Also, recognition and appreciation should be given to Luvada Harrison and Linda Thompson Williams for taking the time to answer questions concerning the industry. -

Conspicuous Peripheries: Black Identity, Memory, and Community in Chatham, ON, 1860-1980
Conspicuous Peripheries: Black Identity, Memory, and Community in Chatham, ON, 1860-1980 by Carmen Poole A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Carmen Poole 2015 Conspicuous Peripheries: Black Identity, Memory, and Community in Chatham, ON, 1860-1980 Carmen Poole Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The history of the black population in Chatham, Ontario is incomplete by virtue of partiality and distortion. This partiality and distortion has had real, if difficult to quantify costs for Chatham's local black population. While it is a worthwhile and necessary project to recuperate lost local histories for their own sake in order to encourage and inform the reframing of larger national and historically more influential histories, this study also focuses on the history of black people who lived in Chatham in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in order to explore situated black lives that were actively constructed and performed. This deliberate attempt to expand the historiography of blacks in Canada from that of black-as-object to black-as-subject required an investigation into the local history of blacks in Chatham, their socio-philosophical and socio-economic heritages and the construction of particular identities shaped by race, class, and gendered interests forged within a shared experience of ongoing white racism. Informed by census data, primary fraternal order documents, and oral testimony, this study also holds that dislocations occurred at the turn of the twentieth century that concretized class membership, exacerbated class distinctions all while complicating the tenability of a coherent and cohesive black community. -
