  • The Florida Terror: Race Relations in the Early Twentieth-Century
    The Florida Terror: Race Relations in the Early Twentieth-Century Summary Many years before the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s brought nationwide attention to the plight of African-Americans in the South, racial violence was a fact of life. Many whites held firm to an unwritten code that demanded brutal punishment for individual blacks, or entire communities, that “stepped out of line.” In this lesson, students will: read about race relations in the post-WWI years and the Ku Klux Klan; explore individual incidents of racial violence in Florida before the Civil Rights era; and create annotated maps/timelines of these incidents. Objectives Students will: 1) Understand how demographic changes after World War I led to strained relations between whites and blacks in the North and the South; 2) Read an account of the origins and reformation of the Ku Klux Klan, from the early 1900’s to the present; 3) Explore five incidents of racial violence from 1920 to 1944. U.S. History Event This lesson could be used within the context of any unit on the 1920’s, including racial unrest in the post-WWI years and the nativism movement. It could also be used as am opening lesson to the Civil Rights Movement. Grade Level This lesson can be implemented in a middle school or high school American history classroom, but because of the sensitive subject matter may be more appropriate for high school. Materials AAA AutoClub maps of Florida (optional), maps of Florida found at http://fcit.usf.edu/florida/maps/state/64000.htm (optional), a transparency of the lyrics to “Strange Fruit,” a transparency or copies of one of several pictures from http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/african/2000/lynching.htm , one copy of Reading Passage #1 and Reading Passage #2 for each pair, one copy of Exhibits A-E for each pair, one copy of “Matrix for Information about Florida Racial Violence” for each student (or pair), Lesson Time This lesson can be completed in one block period.

  • The Case of July Perry and the Town of Ocoee in Central Florida
    CONSTRUCTING AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORIES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA by KATHERINE K. PARRY A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts & Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2008 ABSTRACT From the time of their occurrence up to the present, people have constructed and revised narratives about violent racial events in Florida. In the case of the racial violence in Ocoee and the lynching of July Perry, multiple accounts coexisted until one particular group in the 1990’s contested earlier conservative white Southern narratives with new public memories containing African American perspectives of the events, demanding racial justice and memorialization of the events. A struggle over the power to construct this narrative resulted in compromises between the two sets of memories. While some goals were attained, the landscape of memorization remains undeveloped. The construction of a narrative concerning the meaning of Harry T. Moore’s life and death entered the public domain at his death and remained unchanging, carried forward by the collective memories of African Americans in Florida. Historians reassessed his role as a martyr for civil rights to the first martyr of the Civil Right’s Movement. A group of African Americans in Brevard County were successful in attaining resources that included landscape and a memorial complex during the 1990’s and the first decade of 2000. The construction of public memories and the power to gain landscape and resources for commemoration reflected the aims and power of each group.

  • Greek-American Radicals: the Untold Story, on Questions Regarding Public Scholarship, Greek- American Radicalism, and the Hidden Folds of History
    Occasional Paper 5 In connection with the special section on Public Scholarship published in the May 2015 issue of the Journal of Modern Greek Studies the editors conducted an interview with Kostis Karpozilos, the historian behind the acclaimed documentary Greek-American Radicals: The Untold Story, on questions regarding public scholarship, Greek- American radicalism, and the hidden folds of history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrkgPNnV-Js Please give a brief description of the documentary you prepared: identify, date, and summarize it, state what was the impetus of its making, indicate the people on the production team, its funding sources, the process and schedule of its distribution, its different public audiences, including audiences inside and outside of academic settings. Greek American Radicals: The Untold Story (Ταξισυνειδησία: η άγνωστη ιστορία του ελληνοαμερικανικού ριζοσπαστισμού) is an hour-long (64’) documentary focusing on revolutionary diasporas in the United States and more particularly on the Greek American Left from the era of mass migration in the early twentieth century until the postwar Red Scare. Funded by the non-profit organization Apostolis Berdebes (who was a leading figure in the anti-junta movement in the United States) and directed by Kostas Vakkas, it was first screened in the 15th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (March 2013). This was from the very start a collaborative project (Kostis Karpozilos, script-writer and historical research; Frosso Tsouka, producer; Nontas Skarpelis, editing) aiming to highlight a neglected aspect of the Greek immigrant experience and to generate debate on the links between labor immigration and the contemporary global financial crisis. Following the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival launch, Greek American Radicals was screened for six weeks in two theaters in Athens, broadcast nationally in Greece through the occupied ERT, and watched by thousands of viewers in numerous screenings in social and cultural centers, film festivals, film clubs, and academic seminars.

  • John Fabian Witt Re
    January 15, 2020 To: NYU Legal History Seminar From: John Fabian Witt Re: January 27 seminar Thanks so much for looking at my drafts and coming to my session! I’m thrilled to be able to share them with you. I am attaching chapters 5 and 8 from my book-in-progress. I’m struggling with the title, and some years ago this seminar gave me the title for my first book. Maybe you can help again! A current working title is The Radicals’ Fund: Experimenting with Democracy in America’s First Age of Propaganda. The book is the story of an organization known informally as the Garland Fund or formally as the American Fund for Public Service: a philanthropic foundation established in 1922 to give money to liberal and left causes. The Fund figures prominently in the history of civil rights lawyering because of its role setting in motion the early stages of the NAACP’s litigation campaign that led a quarter-century later to Brown v. Board of Education. I hope you will be able to get some sense of the project from the crucial chapters I’ve attached here. These chapters come from Part 2 of the book. Part 1 focuses on Roger Baldwin, the founder of the ACLU and the principal energy behind the Fund. Part 2 (including the chapters here) focuses on James Weldon Johnson, who ran the NAACP during the 1920s and was a board member of the Fund. Parts 3 and 4 turn respectively to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (a labor radical on the board) and Felix Frankfurter, who in the 1920s served as a key outside consultant and counsel to the Fund.
