This study explores how Coates represents and explains black manhood as well as how he defines his own identity as being excluded from United States society, yet as being central to the nation.

  • African American Contributions to the American Film Industry”
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1996 Volume III: Race and Representation in American Cinema In Their Own Words: African American Contributions to the American Film Industry” Curriculum Unit 96.03.14 by Gerene Freeman I believe it is safe to say that a large majority of my high school students are avid movie-goers. Most of them, if not all have a VCR in their homes. Amazingly many students are quite sagacious concerning matters pertaining to the blaxploitation films generated in the Sixties. Few, however, realize that African American involvement in film making had its inception as early as 1913. Through this curriculum unit it is my intention to provide high school students, at Cooperative High School for the Arts and Humanities, with an overview of two African American filmmakers and their contributions to film. Oscar Micheaux will be utilized as an example of African American contributions made to the silent era by African American pioneers in the film industry. Matty Rich will be used as an example of contemporary contributions. I have decided to look at Matty Rich as opposed to Spike Lee, John Singleton and/or Julie Dash for very specific reasons. First because he was so close to the age (18) many of my high school students are now when he made his first movie Straight Out of Brooklyn. Secondly, he emerged from an environment similar to that in which many of my student find themselves. Lastly, I believe he could represent for my students a reason to believe it is very possible for them to accomplish the same thing.

    Making Mandingo: Racial Archetypes, Pornography, and Black Male Subjectivity By Phillip Samuels © 2019 M.A., University of Kansas, 2007 B.A., Emporia State University, 2004 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Communication Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Dorothy Pennington Dr. Scott Harris Dr. Beth Innocenti Dr. Jeffery Jarman Dr. Randal Maurice Jelks _____________________________ Dr. Robert McDonald Date Defended: 6 December 2019 ii Acceptance Page Making Mandingo: Racial Archetypes, Pornography, and Black Male Subjectivity The dissertation committee for Phillip Samuels certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Chair: Dr. Dorthy Pennington Date Approved: iii Abstract Mandingo is a reference to a longstanding myth in American culture, that black men have an unquenchable desire for white woman. I will argue that Mandingo is an example of a racial archetype. Racial archetypes are specific images of a long-standing stereotypes. Mandingo is one such archetype. Mandingo conjures up an entire history of the rhetoric of miscegenation. For some it is the excitement of the big black cock (BBC) and crossing the color line, but for most blacks it invokes images of lynching, slavery, and police brutality brought on by the fear of black men while at the same time trafficking in a prurient landscape of American racial and sexual relations. Whether through words, pictures or movies, the Mandingo has become a dominant archetype in the pantheon of the African American experience. Charting the Mandingo emergence and articulation is critical project to discern how these rhetorical markers are part of a larger mythic narrative.

    PROGRESSIVES: CIVIL RIGHTS: IT’S TIME FOR SOME CHANGE! Unit 4 Progressives Booker T. Washington £ Black educator, reformer and social activists £ Was actually born a slave! £ Urged African Americans to abandon their efforts to win full civil rights and political power and instead cultivate their industrial and farming skills so as to attain economic security (accommodation). £ “No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.” Washington’s Philosophy £ Preached a philosophy of self-help , racial solidarity and accomodation . He urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and concentrate on elevating themselves through hard work and material prosperity. £ He believed in education in the crafts, industrial and farming skills and the cultivation of the virtues of patience, enterprise and thrift. £ Passive £ He believed that whites would gain respect of African Americans through the hard-work Tuskegee Institution £ A private, Historically Black University located in Tuskegee, Alabama, USA, established by Booker T. Washington . £ In 1881, Booker T. Washington arrived in Alabama and started the Tuskegee Normal School for colored teachers £ He recruited the best and the brightest to come and teach here including George Washington Carver who arrived in 1896. £ Carver’s innovations in agriculture, especially with peanuts, expanded Tuskegee’s standing throughout the country. Atlanta Compromise Speech Washington gave a speech : an agreement struck in 1895 between African-American leaders and Southern white leaders £ Social Contract 1. Southern blacks would work meekly and submit to white political rule, while Southern whites guaranteed that blacks would receive basic education and due process in law (something that was supposed to enforced from the 14 th Amendment).

Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.
