    2018 Discussion Guide American Library Association Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table CORETTA SCOTT KING BOOK AWARDS COMMITTEE American Library Association Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee • www.ala.org/csk The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Discussion Guide was prepared by the 2018 Coretta Scott King Book Award Jury Chair Sam Bloom and members Kacie Armstrong, Jessica Anne Bratt, Lakeshia Darden, Sujin Huggins, Erica Marks, and Martha Parravano. The activities and discussion topics are developed to encompass state and school standards. These standards apply equally to students from all linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Students will demonstrate their proficiency, skills, and knowledge of subject matter in accordance with national and state stan- dards. Please refer to the US Department of Education website, www.ed.gov, for detailed information. The Coretta Scott King Book Awards seal was designed by artist Lev Mills in 1974. The symbolism of the seal reflects both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophy and the award’s ideals. The basic circle represents continuity in movement, revolving from one idea to another. Within the image is an African American child reading a book. The five main religious symbols below the image of the child represent nonsectarianism. The superimposed pyramid symbolizes both stength and Atlanta University, the award’s headquarters when the seal was designed. At the apex of the pyramid is a dove, symbolic of peace. The rays shine toward peace and brotherhood. The Coretta Scott King Book Awards seal image and award name are solely and exclusively owned by the American Library Association.

  • Anthem: Social Movements and the Sounds of Solidarity in the African Diaspora
    Anthem: Social Movements and the Sounds of Solidarity in the African Diaspora Shana L. Redmond 2014 New York University Press, New York and London _____________________________________________________________ What if you had a nation but not a country? This is what many people of African descent felt in their day-to-day lives in the Americas and in colonial Africa. Their nationality was defined by the colour of their skin. They were Blacks, Negros, les noirs or los morenos. The book “Anthem: Social Movements and the Sounds of Solidarity in the African Diaspora” explores how this nationality without a nation found a voice through social movements and their “national” anthems. Shana L. Redmond, a former musician and labour organizer currently teaching at the University of California Los Angeles, chooses to explore six songs and their associated social movements. The book proceeds chronologically, beginning with the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) founded in Jamaica by Marcus Garvey and Amy Ashwood. Set up to protect Africans around the world, the UNIA used all the trappings of a nation. It had a constitution, a social order, politics, uniforms and an anthem. An issue regarding the UNIA’s international status the author highlights is that “[t]he collective questioned for example, if meetings were to culminate in rousing renditions of the national anthem, should it be ‘God Save the King’ or ‘The Star Spangled Banner?’” (pg 24). The organization chose the song “Ethiopia” written in 1918 by Benjamin E. Burrell and Arnold J. Forde as its anthem. The lyrics “Ethiopia, land of our fathers” and “[o]f the red, the black and the green” pays homage to ideals of the UNIA to eradicate Western colonialism from Africa.

  • [Review Of] Miriam Makeba and James Hall. Makeba: My Story
    committed can certainly be "forgivenunder the rubricof 'pioneering,'" and no apology is necessary. - Michelle CruzSkinner Arizona State University Miriam Makeba and James Hall. Makeba: My Story. (New York: New American Library, 1987) 249 pp., $18.95. Like much of her music, Miriam Makeba's autobiography is both per­ sonal and political. As it details the storyof a young girl's coming of age and search for identity, it simultaneously records the history of a country struggling for independence. In the prologue, Makeba compares herself to a South African bird soaring above the horror of apartheid (aparthood) which was instituted in 1947. As she recounts the details of war and injustice in direct, understated, idiom-filledpr ose, and as she intertwines details of ancient customs with the realities of modern technology, Makeba suggests that music best expresses the tragic subject of the inner exile of the South African people. Makeba is an exiled political dissident who sees little or no distinction between herself and her beloved country. Although she was denied a sense of history until she was past childhood, Makeba provides a readable anthropological and historical overview of the South African situation. She records the changes undergone by herself and by Africa since her birth in 1932, and she provides the reader with a variety of terms with which to explain religious and social customs. For example, it is the custom for children's African names to comment on events surrounding their births. Since both mother and baby almost died during Miriam's birth, she is called Uzenzile (Zenzi), or one who does not learn from her mistakes.

  • Interview with Zaheer
    Interview with Zaheer Ali Association of Black and Latino/a Graduate Students at Columbia University Graduate student at Columbia University’s School of Arts and Sciences Former head of Harvard’s Black Students Association Currently Assistant Editor, Malcolm X Project, Columbia University INTERVIEWER What is one of the earliest and most influential adoptions of Malcolm X into the world of music and the hip-hop community? ZAHEER ALI Probably the first time that Malcolm is sampled on a commercial hip-hop release would be Keith LeBlanc's “No Sell Out.” I believe the track was released in 1983 by Tommy Boy Records and it basically features the early break beats that were used by break- dancers. Keith LeBlanc was a producer that put together a lot of those drum tracks for a lot of the rap groups that were on the Tommy Boy Records label. And it features that audio track with a sample of Malcolm's speech, the speech that he gave after his house was firebombed and that's all it is: a loop and sample of Malcolm speaking excerpts from different speeches, primarily the one he gave after the fire bombing of his home. And it began a wave of sampling Malcolm's voice in hip-hop. Many artists following Keith LeBlanc would follow his example in sampling Malcolm. This particular record is unique, because Malcolm is actually credited as the songwriter, the lyrics writer for the record, and his family received royalties from the sale of the record. That's unique because for a lot of the later samples before the sampling laws went into effect, Malcolm wasn't credited, obviously, nor did his family receive any royalties.

  • The Complicated Legacy of Stokely Carmichael (Pdf)
    The Complicated Legacy of Stokely Carmichael Toward the end of his high school career, Carmichael recalled how he became consciously active within his community. He remembered the exact moment where his activism became serious to him. “When I first heard about the Negroes sit- ting in at lunch counters down South, I thought they were just a bunch of publicity hounds,” he recalled. “But one night when I saw those young kids on TV, getting back up on the lunch counter stools after being knocked off them, sugar in their eyes, ketchup in their hair—well, something hap- pened to me. Suddenly I was burning.” Soon after watching that video during his senior year in high school, he joined the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). While in this organization, he participated in many sit-ins in Virginia and South Carolina. Joining socially conscious groups later shaped Carmichael to leave behind a great radical activ- ism legacy that many will speak about forever. Carmichael was a very smart man. After graduating high school in 1960, he received many scholarships from predominantly white institutions. Although he was appreciative of the scholarships and the opportunities, he chose to attend Howard University to major in philosophy. During his fresh- man year in 1961, he joined the Freedom Riders, challenging the rules of segregation while travel- ing. In one of his missions he got arrested in Jack- son, Mississippi for entering the “whites only” bus stop waiting room. Carmichael was jailed for 29 days following this incident. After graduating from Howard University, he began to work with the Student Nonviolent Co- ordinating Committee (SNCC).

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
