  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: DIFFERENCE AMONGST YOUR OWN: THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF LOW-INCOME AFRICAN- AMERICAN STUDENTS AND THEIR ENCOUNTERS WITH CLASS WITHIN ELITE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE (HBCU) ENVIRONMENTS Steve Derrick Mobley, Jr. Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Noah D. Drezner, Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education Professor Francine H. Hultgren, Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership The subtle and deeply impactful nuances of Black intra-racial social class differences that manifest amongst students who attend historically Black colleges (HBCU) has remained untouched and understudied in higher-education scholarship. In this phenomenological study, I explore how low-income African-American students encounter social class within elite HBCU environments. The men and women in this study graduated between the years of 2001 and 2010. Contemporary HBCU student experiences are underscored and reveal great tension between self, community, and place. The philosophical works of Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Edward Casey are joined with the voices of Black scholars including W.E.B. DuBois, Audre Lorde, Frantz Fanon, bell hooks, and Toni Morrison to provide critical context for the phenomenon being studied. Max van Manen’s key phenomenological insights also provide a methodological foundation for the study. My co-researchers encountered significant shifts and evolved within their oppressed identities during their undergraduate years. During their undergraduate years they felt a difference amongst their own that they still reconcile today. The participants within this study endured feelings of alienation, wonder, and even confusion within their distinct higher education environments. This study concludes with phenomenological insights for myriad educational stakeholders that include higher educational researchers, higher education practitioners, families, and students.

Jesse Jackson's Candidacy For President On Pluralistic Politics: Implications For Community Action By James Craigen Howard University School of Social Work INTRODUCT ION This essay addresses the significant changes in power relationships brought about by the candidacy of the Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson for President of the United States. Specifically, itwill attempt to focus on themes or issues reflecting the impact of his entry into the contest for the Democratic nomination as a viable Black candidate in November 1983, and the consequent re- definition of power relationships which occurred not only within the Democratic Party, but between Blacks and Whites, Blacks and Jews, Black elected and appointed officials, and his effort on relative deprivation among the people in the Rainbow coalition that he represented. Therefore, issues of racism, coalition building, networking (specifically, within the Black church), leverage, pluralistic politics, and the role of the media in im- age-making and image-breaking will be touched upon.

  • BCSI Program Guide 1.0 | 1
    Preface to the Scope and Sequence: The following pages outline the Barney Charter School Initiative’s Scope and Sequence for each of the major subjects from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Portions of this work are based on the Core Knowledge® Sequence, an original work of the Core Knowledge® Foundation made available through licensing under a Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. This does not in any way imply that the Core Knowledge Foundation endorses this work. The BCSI Scope and Sequence differs most significantly from the Core Knowledge Sequence in Literacy, Grammar, and Math, though changes are not limited to these subjects. In Literacy the BCSI Scope and Sequence is based on the Riggs Institute’s Writing and Spelling Road to Reading and Thinking as supplemented and modified by Access Literacy, LLC. In Grammar and Math, the BCSI Scope and sequence is based, respectively, on the Well-Ordered Language series and curriculum from Singapore Math. The Barney Charter School Initiative has provided a scope and sequence for Latin from grades 6-9 and for all required subjects in grades 9-12. The BCSI Scope and Sequence includes resource recommendations for teachers to pair with the listed subject matter. In Mathematics, Literature, Literacy, and Grammar, these resources are directly paired to the scope and sequence items, and fidelity to the curriculum requires that these resources be followed quite closely. In Science, History, Visual Arts, and Music, however, these resources should be viewed as aids to teaching the curriculum, but not as the curriculum itself. Teachers need not employ all of a given science textbook, for example, and fidelity to the curriculum requires that teachers of these subjects use discretion to teach each topic from the BCSI Scope and Sequence using the best available resources appropriate to students’ grade level.

  • The Chicago Freedom Movement Photography Exhibit by Bernard J
    HOPE Fair Housing Center 2100 Manchester Road, Building C, Suite 1620 Wheaton, IL 60187 The Chicago Freedom Movement Photography Exhibit By Bernard J. Kleina In Chicago in 1965 and 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders focused the Chicago Freedom Movement on open housing. Thousands of people participated in the marches and rallies in Soldier Field, Marquette Park, Grant Park and in front of Chicago City Hall. This was the first large scale fair housing campaign in the country and the most ambitious civil rights campaign in the North. It placed the issue of equal opportunity in housing not just before the people of Chicago, but also before the Nation. Mr. Kleina’s rarely seen color photographs document the 1965-66 Freedom Movement’s peaceful demonstrations’ call for open housing. The exhibit celebrates the efforts of Dr. King and other civil rights leaders and includes images of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Coretta Scott-King; the Rev. Jesse Jackson; former Atlanta Mayor and UN Ambassador, Andrew Young; comedian activist, Dick Gregory; gospel singer, Mahalia Jackson; and former Southern Christian Leadership Council President, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, as well as thousands of peaceful demonstrators involved in these historic rallies and marches. The photographs also capture many of those who attempted to disrupt these peaceful marches. Mr. Kleina’s photography exhibit on the Chicago Freedom Movement is being shown throughout the country. His photographs should encourage us not only to look back at where we have been, but also to reflect on the challenges we face and the direction we are taking as a Nation.
