It was not 200 until 1915, that the legislature changed the name to Agricultural and Technical College. A&T started with fourteen acres ofland and $11,000 from the city of Greensboro. Since then, the campus has increased in size as well as population. Justin Ramey, the SGA President, was the keynote speaker at the Founder's Day cel- ebration. This made him the first student ever to speak at the convocation "I come to you on behalf of my generation in the strength of youth; the youth that listens to the learning tradition and gain- ing the knowledge and wisdom ofour ancestors, both past and present," Ramey said in his speech Throughout his speech he encouraged the black communi- ty not to become "complacent and content" with where they are now. He constantly remind- ed the audience oftheir ances- tors. Ramey referenced famous Aggies such as the Greensboro Four and Ronald McNair. He said that Aggies have the power to do anything possible.

  • An Appeal to Re-Open the Malcolm X Case
    An Appeal to Re-Open the Malcolm X Case Written by Guest Poster Xyborg ID2087 Tuesday, 08 November 2005 01:29 - In light of the recent Edgar Ray Killen conviction for the Chaney/Goodman/Schwerner slayings, the recent exhumation of the body of Emmett Till, the 1994 Byron De La Beckwith conviction for the Medgar Evers murder, the 1998 charging of Klan imperial wizard Sam Bowers with the firebomb attack on an NAACP activist and the 2002 conviction of another Klansman, Bobby Frank Cherry, for his role in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing (that killed, among others, a relative of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) the time has NOW come to re-open the most important of all of the civil rights-era murder cases, namely, that of Malcolm X. It has been 40 long years since Malcolm X was gunned down, 21 February 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom by five of Elijah Muhammad’s thugs in a savage crime that remains unsolved to this day. Four of his cowardly killers - Benjamin Thomas, Leon Davis, Wilbur McKinley and William Bradley - have never been held accountable. Together with Talmadge Hayer (the only one of the original five to have served time for the crime) these individuals comprise what I will here refer to as the Newark Five - the “special squad” that was established by the Nation of Islam’s (NOI) New Jersey Temple No. 25 to carry out the cold-blooded murder of Malcolm X. Between December of 1963 and February of 1965 Malcolm X was the object of multiple attempts on his life by the NOI in cities as widely scattered as Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles and New York.

  • Biographical Description for the Historymakers® Video Oral History with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
    Biographical Description for The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History with The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan PERSON Farrakhan, Louis Alternative Names: The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan; Life Dates: May 11, 1933- Place of Birth: New York, New York, USA Work: Chicago, IL Occupations: Minister Biographical Note Minister Louis Farrakhan was born on May 11, 1933 in the Bronx, New York to Sarah May and Percival Clarke. He was born Louis Eugene Walcott, but would later adopt the surname of Farrakhan after his conversion to Islam. Louis and his brother, Alvan Walcott, were raised by their mother and step-father in Boston, Massachusetts. As a youth, Farrakhan was a Boston, Massachusetts. As a youth, Farrakhan was a talented violinist and athlete. He graduated from Boston English High School and attended Winston- Salem Teacher’s College, during which time he recorded calypso albums under the name “The Charmer.” In 1953, Farrakhan married his wife, Khadijah Farrakhan (born Betsy Ross), and he dropped out of college during his senior year to assist her during her pregnancy. After attending the annual Saviors’ Day address delivered by Elijah Muhammad, Leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI), Farrakhan decided to join the NOI in 1955. Farrakhan became minister of Muhammad’s Temple No. 11 in Boston, Massachusetts in 1956. Nine years later, he was appointed by Elijah Muhammad to serve as Minister of Muhammad’s Temple No. 7 in New York City. Farrakhan worked with the Harlem community to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood, but the decisions made by Imam W. Deen Mohammed to make the NOI resemble Sunni Islam prompted Farrakhan to gather his own supporters and rebuild the NOI based on the leading principles of Wallace Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad.

    International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 4.400 THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN ISLAMIC COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES: HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT Saiedjamaledden Alerasoul* Javad Haghnavaz** Abstract: The purpose of the following historical survey is to present the basic realities of the Muslim Experience in the West. I have chosen several methods of looking at these present realities and past experiences. Some of these are case studies and still others are from readings in history. Today as a community we are at a point where we can either succeed or fail to a much greater extent than in the past. We have schools, professionals, Islamic centers and well-read Muslims. What we lack is a core of brothers and sisters willing to try to organize Muslims into cohesive voting blocks and into strong neighborhoods and communities where the Muslims are visible and have a voice in the destiny of the greater society and to some degree in the foreign policy of America. Keywords: Islam, Islamic Civilization, Islamic History, Islam in United States. *Department of Islamic Thoughts faculty, Jolfa Branch, Islamic Azad University, Jolfa, Iran Vol. 3 | No. 8 | August 2014 www.garph.co.uk IJARMSS | 155 International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 4.400 INTRODUCTION: The history of Islam concerns the religion of Islam and its adherents, Muslims. Muslim is an Arabic word meaning one who submits to God. Muslims and their religion have greatly impacted the political, economic and military history of the Old World, especially the Middle East, where its roots lie.

  • ACPSI Proposal for Pan-African Studies Communiversity
    Appendix ACPSI Proposal for Pan-African Studies CommUniversity Zachery Williams Components 1. Rationale: Designed as a more ambitious adult education program, the curriculum, overall setup and functioning of the CommUniversity should model the setup of the best colleges and universities in our region and nation. The difference in the two would be that the CommUniversity would specifically partner with institutions working to improve the African American community, such as churches, civic organizations, nonprofits, busi- nesses, healthcare facilities, and social service agencies. Its graduates and students would work to promote community change, development, and empowerment with the education they acquire. CommUniversity curriculum would use Pan-African studies/Africana studies, his- tory, and other disciplines to engage the community and attempt to develop an edu- cational institution that could serve as a vital nucleus of community change and development, supporting the work of local churches and other religious institutions; one that is squarely situated in the community but partnering with nearby colleges and uni- versities, as well as churches and local civic groups. Such an institution, I firmly believe, will connect the needs of the people to the resources and expertise of those trained in the study of Africana life and culture. Taking it a step further, we must then proceed to train community residents to become the professors, professionals, and leaders of their own communities and promote a much-needed enhancement of collective self-esteem and community development. The CommUniversity initiative would involve a partnership among various university and community constituencies, including but not limited to the following: 1. Pan-African Center for Community Studies 2.

Weber The Pennsylvania State University On October 16, 1995, an estimated 837,000 black men traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the "Million Man March," a political protest organized to promote change within the black community.1 The march's messages of hope, self‐improvement, and commitment to family generated support from many Americans. According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, 76 percent of all respondents said that they supported the demonstration and about 84 percent of the blacks surveyed "said they think it's a good idea."2 The same respondents answered less positively when asked about the protest's controversial leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan.

The use of the term “gender power” here is inspired by Anne McClintock’s use of the term, as well as her discussion of nationalism in Imperial Leather. See McClintock, “No Longer in a Future Heaven,” 352–89. 5. Glaude, Is It Nation Time?, 2. 6. Adeleke, UnAfrican Americans. 7. Robinson, Black Nationalism in American Politics and Thought. Robinson argues that gender is important, but is a part of all nation- alisms, and, therefore, cannot be seen as that which makes Black nation- alism distinct; for Robinson, the defining characteristic of Black nationalism is its mutually constitutive relationship to White American nationalism, “its apparent inability to diverge from what could be con- sidered the ‘normal’ politics of its day” (1). This argument is incomplete, however. Race, class, and gender have always been part of the warp and woof of U.S. politics. To the extent that Black nationalism is a derivative discourse, race, class, and gender politics, too, have marked it. This argu- ment may seem merely tautological, but is significant because it speaks to the important conceptual and analytical shift that is afforded with the adoption of a Black feminist perspective.

Michael Elavsky Associate Professor of Communications Dissertation Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Matthew Jordan Associate Professor of Communications Nicole Webster Associate Professor of Agricultural and Extension Education Civic and Youth Development Marie Hardin Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Graduate Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Many contemporary forms of culturally based civic engagement—including what might be called “hip-hop” activism—blur the lines between entertainment, activism, and corporate efforts. Such civic and cultural activities prompt several questions: What constitutes effectual communicative action in the contemporary public sphere? What are the limits of hip-hop activism and branding in helping organizations respond to the contradictory pressures of the promotional public sphere? What dimensions of meaning, participation, advocacy, protest, and human relationship slip through the brand's dynamic processes of enclosure? Ultimately, what is the social and cultural significance of different forms of hip-hop activism in the age of social media and branding? This dissertation explores these issues and others through a comparative case- study of the social-change efforts of two organizations, 1Hood and Street King (SK).
