The initial forms of popular protest led by Martin Luther King Jr. were generally non-violent. However, by the mid-1960s many blacks were becoming increasingly frustrated with the slow pace and limited extent of progressive change.

    Walter Rodney and Black Power: Jamaican Intelligence and Us Diplomacy*

    ISSN 1554-3897 AFRICAN JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY & JUSTICE STUDIES: AJCJS; Volume 1, No. 2, November 2005 WALTER RODNEY AND BLACK POWER: JAMAICAN INTELLIGENCE AND US DIPLOMACY* Michael O. West Binghamton University On October 15, 1968 the government of Jamaica barred Walter Rodney from returning to the island. A lecturer at the Jamaica (Mona) campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI), Rodney had been out of the country attending a black power conference in Canada. The Guyanese-born Rodney was no stranger to Jamaica: he had graduated from UWI in 1963, returning there as a member of the faculty at the beginning of 1968, after doing graduate studies in England and working briefly in Tanzania. Rodney’s second stint in Jamaica lasted all of nine months, but it was a tumultuous and amazing nine months. It is a measure of the mark he made, within and without the university, that the decision to ban him sparked major disturbances, culminating in a rising in the capital city of Kingston. Official US documents, until now untapped, shed new light on the “Rodney affair,” as the event was soon dubbed. These novel sources reveal, in detail, the surveillance of Rodney and his activities by the Jamaican intelligence services, not just in the months before he was banned but also while he was a student at UWI. The US evidence also sheds light on the inner workings of the Jamaican government and why it acted against Rodney at the particular time that it did. Lastly, the documents offer a window onto US efforts to track black power in Jamaica (and elsewhere in WALTER RODNEY AND BLACK POWER: JAMAICAN INTELLIGENCE AND US DIPLOMACY Michael O.

By using images in its nation-building efforts, the United States has been a forerunner through what François Brunet called “Amérique- image”, a huge picture-book in which photographs of the Civil Rights Movement have a dedicated slot at a time when television was becoming a mass media (Brunet & Kempf 2001). The best-known pictures of the Civil Rights Movement have thus become places of memory, iconic images testifying to the ultimate triumph of democracy. 2 If, according to W.E.B.

  • From Black Power Activist to "Anti-Negro Negro"

    From Black Power Activist to "Anti-Negro Negro"

    Trading Places: From Black Power Activist to "Anti-Negro Negro" Alyson Cole In March of 1988, the faculty of the Afro-American Studies Department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst unanimously demanded that the University remove one of its most distinguished members, Professor Julius Lester. The official reason given for this unprecedented request was that Lester had become an "anti-Negro-Negro."1 In making this extraordinary demand, Lester's colleagues were reacting to the recent publication of his autobiography. En­ titled Loves ong: On Becoming a Jew (1988a), the book tells the story of Lester's conversion to Judaism and details his growing alienation from Black politics. The faculty's lengthy report concluded, "Professor Lester would be infinitely more comfortable at a different location in the University" (Lester 1988b, 17- 8).2 Elaborating on the written account, one of the authors pointedly remarked that retaining Lester in Afro-American Studies is "like having Yassir Arafat teach­ ing in the Jewish Studies Department."3 The University eventually complied with the request and transferred Professor Lester to another department. This bit of academic infighting soon became national news.4 Journalists reminded their readers that back in the late 1960s, when he was a prominent Black Power activist, Lester gained notoriety as an anti-Semite. The Los Ange­ les Times maintained that now Lester was himself a victim of anti-Semitism.5 Despite the University's intervention, or perhaps because of it, the scandal re­ fused to die. Lester himself contributed to the prolonged life of this affair by 0026-3079/2003/4403-037S2.50/0 American Studies, 44:3 (Fall 2003): 37-76 37 38 Alyson Cole rehashing events and responding to his detractors in published articles and pub­ lic lectures.6 More significant still, conservative critics enthusiastically seized upon the story of Lester's excommunication.
  • The Feminist Leadership of Ericka Huggins in the Black Panther Party

    The Feminist Leadership of Ericka Huggins in the Black Panther Party

    187 The Feminist Leadership of Ericka Huggins in the Black Panther Party Mary Phillips ABSTRACT Born on January 5, 1948, in Washington, D.C., Ericka Huggins was an important figure in the Black Panther Party (BPP) as well as a key Black Power era activist. A high-ranking member of the BPP, she served on the organization’s Central Committee. As a writer, poet, educator, former editor of the Black Panther and Director of the Oakland Community School, Huggins was vital to the BPP as an organizer and intellectual. This essay provides an in-depth analysis of Huggins’s feminist theory, her work as a revolutionary educator, and the impact of her incarceration on the BPP as a member of the New Haven 14. I argue that Huggins’s experiences serve as an example of progressive gender politics in the BPP. Until recently Black women’s activism has been largely neglected in BPP scholarship and this work contributes to the emerging scholarship on Black women in the most widely known organization of the Black Power Movement. This essay differs from previous interpretations on Ericka Huggins and the BPP by showcasing her voice on the intersections of Black Power and Black feminist politics in the BPP.

Black Panther Party: 1966-1982 Abstract The Black Panther party was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966. From its beginnings as a local, community organization with a handful of members, it expanded into a national and international party. By 1980, however, the Black Panther party was once again mainly an Oakland-based organization, with no more than fifty active members. In 1982, the party came to an official end. Despite itselativ r ely short history, its modest membership, and its general eschewing of electoral politics, the Black Panther party was arguably the best known and most controversial of the black militant political organizations of the 1960s, with a legacy that continues to this day.

    The Relationship of Black Power and Black Arts/Consciusness Movements to the Black Studies Movement

    THE RELATIONSHIP OF BLACK POWER AND BLACK ARTS/CONSCIUSNESS MOVEMENTS TO THE BLACK STUDIES MOVEMENT A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Professional Studies by Benjamin Jermaine Woods January 2009 © 2009 Benjamin Jermaine Woods ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of three social movements that occurred during the 1960s and 1970s: the Black Power Movement, Black Arts/Consciousness Movement, and Black Studies Movement. This study acknowledges that each movement had its own distinct character and ideas, but had overlapping actors, ideas, and objectives. The thesis argues that the political nationalism of the Black Power Movement, and the cultural nationalism of the Black Arts/Consciousness Movement influenced African students in the Black Studies Movement. Therefore, the study centers on the Black Studies Movement. Each Movement was a response to the cultural hegemony of the dominant Euro-American society. The study traces the development of each social movement including influences originating from previous eras. The Black Power Movement helped students to understand the political purpose of education in the United States and that it must help to liberate African people from white oppression. The Black Arts/Consciousness Movement contributed to the student’s recognition of the importance of identity, history, and culture. The thesis demonstrates the dialectical and reciprocal nature of all three movements in the 1960s and 1970s. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Benjamin Woods was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. His lineage extends to the All-Black Town Movement in Oklahoma. His Father was a student activist in the Civil Rights Movement.
