In 2002 she began working with Moko Jumbies - still walkers - from Dragon Keylemanjahro School of Arts and Culture in Trinidad, a community center completely operated through volunteer participation from residents of the neighborhood. The project focuses on providing free of charge extracurricular activities to youth of a low-income area, as well as reviving the art and tradition of West African stilt walking. Through artistic interventions during special events, carnival competitions, workshops and outreach programs, the project aims to reinforce social ideals such as healthy life choices and respect for cultural heritage. Jumbie Camp follows the same concepts as above with the Brooklyn Jumbies and takes place in two burrows of New York with very different demographics. Jumbie Camp set up in Galeria Ramis Barquet in Chelsea, where the gallery was transformed into a workshop and rehearsal space where costumes and masks were created to provide costumes free of charge for the Brooklyn Jumbies’ presentations.

"Florestine Perrault Collins and the Gendered Politics of Black Portraiture in 1920s New Orleans." Louisiana History: The Journal of the Louisiana Historical Association 43, no. 2 (Spring 2002): 167-188. http://www.jstor.org.libproxy.wustl.edu/stable/4233837?seq=1 (accessed July 23, 2010). In this article, “Florestine Perrault Collins and the Gendered Politics of Black Portraiture in 1920s New Orleans,” Arthe Anthony provides the reader with a succinct look at one of the first African-American female photographers in this nation. Born in Louisiana, Florestine Collins always knew she wanted to be a photographer from the time she took her first job at the age of fourteen to assist her father with the family’s debt load. Due to the Jim Crow regime of the South, Collins had to “pass” in order to be considered for the job as a photographer since all potential employers were white. For apparent reasons, Collins had to keep her racial identity secret for years. In an interview, she informs Anthony that had her employers known she was indeed black, they “probably would not have allowed her to take pictures.” During a time when black women served primarily in domestic or servant roles, “the contours of Collins's career mirrored a complicated interplay of gender, racial, and class expectations.” Ultimately, she was still expected to be a wife, mother, homemaker, etc.

MICHAEL BUTLER Isaac Hayes provides a vital public figure through which scholars can analyze, evaluate, and more fully understand the comprehensive nature of the black freedom struggle as it progressed into the s. Hayes merged the integrationist political objectives of mainstream civil rights organiza- tions and leaders with the notions of racial pride, assertiveness, and autonomy that characterized the popular appeal of the black power movement. Hayes, through his “Black Moses” persona and LP of the same name, moved those freedom struggle promises and opportunities into the cultural realm, where he personified African American artistic self-determination. In doing so, he demonstrated that the contemporary conceptualization of black masculinity was not mono- lithic, as Hayes introduced and embodied an ideal that countered the prevailing notion of black manhood which pervaded popular culture and remains a central component of popular memory concerning black power. Most importantly, Isaac Hayes embodied a model of black masculinity that contradicted the prevailing “black macho” ideal. “Black Moses,” therefore, embodied the freedom of African Americans to move beyond contemporary racial classifications in a cultural capacity and presents scholars with an intriguing model through which to examine the evolution, possibilities, and accomplishments of the post-s American black freedom struggle.

Honors Scholar Theses. 78. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/srhonors_theses/78 The Sweet Script: A Critical Analysis of American Sportswriting Jonny Schreiber Senior Honors Thesis Professor Hufstader May 1, 2009 Sportswriting often explores controversy to capitalize on the drama and give the author a forum for moral expression. Yet the genre itself exists at the center of debate. For some, “sportswriting by journalists in the United States is abysmally low,” rife with “the worst tendencies of academic writing – tortured syntax, cant diction, passive voice, grammatical conjunctivitis . hedging, indirection, obfuscation . a bedraggled stock of clichés” claims George Core in an issue of The American Scholar (Core 282). Numerous others share his opinion if not his passion that “there is little place in sportswriting for the academic mind” (Core 286). Despite the sports section “[accounting] for more than 20 percent of editorial content in metropolitan daily newspapers – more than any other category of news” (Anderson 355-356), its practitioners are accused as cheerleaders and hero-worshippers. They face “more lenient standards than reporters on other beats” (Anderson 356) since general fandom forgives their myriad of sins out of blithe ignorance (academics draw a clear line; PhDs over here, simpleton chest-painting-beer-swigging-hooligans over there) or fervor (fans want to read articles root, root, rooting for the home team).

  • Case Studies on the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Canada, 1900-1950 by C
    “For the Freedom of the Black People”: Case Studies on the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Canada, 1900-1950 by Carla Marano A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Carla Marano 2018 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Dr. Juanita De Barros Professor Supervisor Dr. James Walker Professor Internal Member Dr. Andrew Hunt Associate Professor Internal-external Member Dr. Jennifer Harris Professor Other Member(s) Dr. Carol Duncan Professor ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract Using a case study approach, this dissertation examines the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in Canada in the early twentieth century. The UNIA, a secular organization intended to unite people of African descent across the globe, has not been studied in- depth in a Canadian context. This dissertation shows that the history of the UNIA cannot be fully understood without an examination of Canadian contributions to the Garvey movement. By examining various divisions of the UNIA in four Canadian regions (Montreal, Toronto, Cape Breton Island, and Edmonton), “For the Freedom of the Black People” argues that the UNIA served as an important catalyst to the establishment of black communities in Canada.
