  • Race, Gender and Class in the Autobiography of Huey P. Newton 1
    Race, gender and class in the autobiography of Huey P. 1 Newton Chloé Avril, University of Gothenburg “We’ll just have to get guns and be men”, such was the powerful rallying cry uttered by Black Panther member (and later leader) Elaine Brown in her 1969 song “The End of Silence”. I take Brown’s words as the point of departure for my article, since they seem to encapsulate much of what is at stake in relation to gender and the Black Power movement. Brown’s call to arms in “The End of Silence” immediately poses the question of the significance as well as the function of masculinity in the movement. It also highlights the link between masculinity and armed resistance. However, the use of the verb “to be” signals that “men” are the product of an action—getting guns—rather than a pre-existing subject performing the action, thus putting into question the automatic correlation between masculinity and the male body, a feeling reinforced by the words being uttered by the female voice of Elaine Brown. The contradictions and problematic aspects of the Black Power movement’s invocation of black masculinity, as well as the intersections of race, gender and class, will be at the core of this discussion. In order to explore these issues, I will focus on the autobiography of Black Panther leader Huey Newton, Revolutionary Suicide , where I will examine the tensions in this activist narrative’s construction of a racialized, classed and gendered self. Historical background As far as mainstream U.S. history goes, the Black Power movement has characteristically been understood as a distinct historical phenomenon following on, and breaking from the more widely accepted Civil Rights movement.

  • Item: SP: A-4 Tuesday, April 20, 2021
    Item: SP: A-4 Tuesday, April 20, 2021 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE FAU 2021 ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN PROPOSED Board ACTION Approval of the FAU 2021 Accountability Plan. BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 2009 the Board of Governors (BOG) developed a planning and accountability framework for SUS institutions to begin submitting annual performance reports on key measures and progress on meeting institutional goals. Board of Governor’s regulation 1.001 provides that each university Board of Trustees prepare and submit a multi-year Work Plan that identifies and reports the university’s priorities and strategic direction as well as outcomes and projected goals for both institutional and system-wide performance measures. In January of 2018, the Board of Governors officially merged the annual Accountability Report and multi-year Work Plan into one document so that Board members can easily see the “big picture” of where the universities are coming from and where they are going. The Accountability Plan contains five major sections including Strategy, Performance-Based Funding Metrics, Key Performances Indicators, Enrollment Planning, and Academic Program Coordination, In accordance with the Board of Governor’s requirements for submitting BOT-approved University Accountability Plans, FAU’s final plan will be submitted by May 3, 2021. The Accountability Plan will be submitted for approval by the Board of Governors at their next full meeting, which will be held June 22-24, 2021 at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg.
