Where there is no law, neither is there violation. A Research Project – March 2014 PRELUDE Black English: A fair shake in judicial systems? By Merelyn B. Bates-Mims. PUBLISHED 2013-02-09 The Cincinnati Herald Because I had long ‘been away’ to big Washington DC, on my return I obligatorily followed Louisiana custom for courteous visitation to all the homes making up Back o’ the Field, the Bates-Johnson ‘extended family’ neighborhood. As we entered his home, I said to Mr. Amos, my mother’s neighbor and old family friend, “Hi, I haven’t seen you for a long while.” His response:“Sho have! Sho have!” nodding his head in “yes” agreement. Though I have recounted this incident a number of times, its impact on me has never faded. Why? Because I had unknowingly and inadvertently discovered in his response a ‘fossil’, which linguists call a “residual vestige” of a proto form of ancient language. In this case, African language. At the time of his “agreement,” however, I dismissed his reply thinking that he, Mr. Amos, was old and hard of hearing and just had not heard or understood my greeting. Later, this time in Cameroon, I encountered similar (mis)understandings, cognitive mismatches, causal glitches in mutual intelligibility among speakers. Though my 1986 work provides a number of “negation” structural comparisons illustrating African language cognition pasted over by English-words, the extracted sample shown here is among my most favorite: S1 ‘Joko, haven’t you eaten?’ S2 ‘Yes.’ S1 ‘You have eaten?’ S2 ‘No.’ S1 ‘Well, whose plate is that?’ (pointing) S2 ‘Mine!’ This “in the kitchen” scene involving four women, African and African American, took place during the preparation of one evening meal in the home of my friends, a Kom family in Yaoundé, where for a few weeks in 1985 I resided as a guest. This “anomaly” of a conversation originated out of stark hunger for that meal and my hurried formulation of the negative construct “Joko, haven’t you eaten?” to which Joko, a native- born Cameroonian and the youngest among us, responded by her positive agreement with the negative “Yes, I have not eaten.” As the “hit and miss” in conversation grew, so did the merriment. Before long, all the women were laughing heartily, chiming in with mixtures of “negatives” that engendered “yes” retorts, and vice versa. These descriptive “English” language vignettes contain elements of a shared African cognition en voyage among widely-spread geographies and peoples: Louisiana, Cameroon, and the Caribbean Sea. But beyond Africa, affirmative agreements with negative elements also have cognitive appearances in the languages of Asia: “And in six years you’ve never sold one?” posed by Dr. Phil’s interview with a female Asian American guest on his show, followed immediately by his “You don’t know yet ‘cause you have never actually sold one,” evoked oral “yes” and affirmative nodding of the head when in fact she had never sold an item. In this negation structure yes actually meant no. Can judges and lawyers---most possessing a different cognition from that of African American, Asian and Latino people, especially males charged with a crime---accurately interpret the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ responses they hear from those populations? Everyone knows the significance of second language interpreters to fair hearings and justice especially to immigrant populations speaking languages other than English. What if the foreign language, i.e., Ebonics, merely sounds like English because the words are English but in reality is its own language? Words of themselves do not a language make. Cognition makes the difference. What near-accurate estimate could be made of the numbers of persons, men of Trayvon Martin race, who have been unjustly sentenced to prison terms because of lack of precision in judicial interpretations of black men’s structure of language? Their structure of yes/no agreements? Their “I be” formals? -Principal Researcher Bates-Mims is a Comparative Historical linguist specializing in the study of the origins of African American language. 2 | P a g e “Sands has argued that the results…are not valid because officers often don't know the race of the suspect when they decide to pull over a car. That may or may not be true. But our study looked not just at motor vehicle stops but at pedestrian stops as well, which also showed racial disparities. We also found that, once people were stopped, officers were more likely to frisk, search or arrest African Americans and Latinos than whites. At the point of making these decisions, officers can certainly see the apparent race of the suspects.” –Ian Ayres.

Volume 2 Disparate Treatment – Tell Us Your Story Comparisons: Citizenship and Racial Profiling The Bishop’s Task Force on Racial Profiling Executive Summary The Bishop’s Task Force on Racial Profiling “Is Stand Your Ground just law?” “Is good citizenship an effective hedge against being racially profiled?” “Is high professional accomplishment an effective hedge against being racially profiled?” According to statistical discrimination theory, inequality may exist and persist between demographic groups even when economic agents (consumers, workers, employers, etc.) are rational and non-prejudiced. This type of preferential treatment is labeled "statistical" because stereotypes may be based on the discriminated group's average behavior. - Arrow, K. J. (1973), "The Theory of Discrimination", in O. Ashenfelter and A. Rees (eds.), Discrimination in Labor Markets, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. Judge Robert L. Wilkins, who serves on the United States District Court and was confirmed three years ago in a unanimous voice vote, gained national prominence in a case that helped popularize the term “driving while black” when he sued the Maryland State Police after they pulled him over in the 1990s, reports a NYTimes November 18, 2013 article. Race and religion constitute one of the oldest combinations, one that has faithfully served the worldwide practice of hegemonic dominance of nations and peoples over others. In combined sentience, the emotional psychology or natural tendency for hasty expression of emotion devoid of reason or self-control, race and religion remains fundamental to majority opposition to civil, political, and economic advancements for minority populations. Historically race combined with religion has exerted rampant resistance against factual ‘freedom’ of participation in the nation (voting and other citizenship rights, as examples). Might sentience and modern Canaan ethnonationalism underlie 2013 prevalent national perception that black men and boys are less worthy beings—as black sons and fathers and husbands and brothers are systemically swept up in New Age Prison Slavery via 13th Amendment loophole in the language permanently abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude “except as punishment for crime…?” Do Biblical maledictory retentions and universal denkstil prejudicial mindset and beliefs contribute to and devoutly underlie 2013 American racial profiling patterns and practices? In July, 2013, Republican Senator John McCain joined President Barack Obama in a call for review of "Stand Your Ground." Does racial profiling, the aberrant acts and attitudes driven by race perception create a chilling effect on the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness freedoms of targeted groups of Americans? Together, Disparate Impact coupled with Disparate Treatment collections of individual stories meet the evidence standards probative of discrimination theory specific to Stand Your Ground discrimination permitted by State legislation. 4 | P a g e Thus, the Task Force Research on Racial Profiling divides the report into two sections: 1) Disparate Treatment Statistics; and 2) Disparate Treatment individual stories of Racial Profiling Experiences (RPEs).

MarT^o SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1976 Abstract Marzio, Peter C. The Art Crusade: An Analysis of American Drawing Manuals, 1820-1860. Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology, number 34, 94 pages, 47 figures, 1976.—Between 1820 and 1860 approximately 145 popular drawing manuals were published in the United States. Authored by painters, printers, and educators the drawing books were aimed at the general public. Based on the democratic ideal that "anyone who can learn to write can learn to draw," the manuals followed a highly structured system of drawing based on the theory that lines were the essence of form. The aesthetic system of Sir Joshua Reynolds often served as the principal artistic guideline, while the pedagogy of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi was used as a tool for making "drawing" part of a general approach to education. Although the American drawing books are often seen as part of the general social effort to democratize art, their appeal went beyond art students to engineers, scientists, and illustrators. Drawing was considered a general skill, such as writing, which could be applied to numerous aspects of life.

  • Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The
    PRAIRIE FIRES: URBAN REBELLIONS AS BLACK WORKING CLASS POLITICS IN THREE MIDWESTERN CITIES BY ASHLEY M. HOWARD DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Sundiata K. Cha-Jua, Chair Professor James R. Barrett Professor Cheryl Greenberg, Trinity College Associate Professor Clarence Lang, University of Kansas ii ABSTRACT This study investigates the social, economic and political upheavals caused by the urban rebellions of the 1960s. Using Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Omaha, Nebraska as case studies, this dissertation argues that the uprisings were historically informed acts of resistance, which demonstrated a Midwestern, gendered, and working-class character. Prairie Fires registers the significant impact the rebellions had not only in transforming the consciousness of African Americans but also in altering the relationship between Blacks, urban communities, and the State as well as highlighting class fractures within Black politics. This interpretative lens validates the black urban rebellions not only as legitimate responses to oppression, but part of an American tradition of working class insurrection. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank my parents, Hilary and Jeanne Howard. They have always encouraged me to seek knowledge and change the world, for that I am forever indebted. I also thank my sister Gianna, whose frequent phone calls about pop culture, social issues, and what she had for lunch, jolted me from the tedium I often became mired in. My partner Christopher, has contributed incredible insight and supported me in every possible way through this process.

    REFORM IN THE QUEEN CITY: RELIGION AND RACE IN CINCINNATI IN THE ERA OF VATICAN II A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael A. Skaggs _________________________________ Kathleen Sprows Cummings, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana February 2017 © Copyright by MICHAEL A. SKAGGS 2017 All rights reserved REFORM IN THE QUEEN CITY: RELIGION AND RACE IN CINCINNATI, 1954-1971 Abstract by Michael A. Skaggs This dissertation examines how the Roman Catholic community of Cincinnati, Ohio, experienced the reform movement initiated by the Catholic Church’s Second Vatican Council, at which the world’s bishops met in Rome in four sessions between 1962 and 1965. The study focuses on two aspects of conciliar reform as it shaped life in Cincinnati: Jewish-Catholic relations and the Catholic response to racism in church and society. As such it makes two major interventions into the historiography. First, while the Second Vatican Council (“Vatican II”) is often touted as a revolutionary moment given its repudiation of centuries of Catholic anti-Semitism, in Cincinnati such a pronouncement barely rippled among local Catholics and Jews, who had long cooperated, especially on civic projects, with little thought for the theological obstacles that ostensibly divided them. Thus what was revolutionary at the level of the global Church was met with little attention at the local level. Second, Vatican II’s neglect of race as a discrete social concern fueled intra-Catholic conflict over the Church’s Michael A.
