INTRODUCTION Nocturnal, multi-colored, and only about three inches long, the arroyo toad lives only in sandy streambeds of coastal southern Califor- nia.1 Threatened by pollution and development, the toad is protected by a federal statute, the Endangered Species Act.2 Is such protection by Congress properly characterized as the “regulation of interstate commerce”?3 Meanwhile, a federal civil rights act prohibits a coffee shop from discriminating on the basis of gender, race, or religion in its hiring practices.4 Federal statutes both provide a mandatory prison sentence for possessing with intent to distribute a small amount of crack cocaine5 and override states from legalizing marijuana for medi- * Associate Professor, Stetson University College of Law, Tampa Bay, Florida.

Cleveland Sellers Oral-History Interview, 2013
Civil Rights History Project Interview completed by the Southern Oral History Program under contract to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History & Culture and the Library of Congress, 2013 Interviewee: Dr. Cleveland Sellers Interview Date: March 21, 2013 Location: Voorhees College, Denmark, South Carolina Interviewer: Dr. John Dittmer Videographer: John Bishop Length: 01:48:00 John Dittmer: My name is John Dittmer, and I am here in Denmark, South Carolina, with videographer John Bishop to interview Dr. Cleveland Sellers, the president of Voorhees College. This interview will become part of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Dr. Sellers, we are delighted to be here today and we thank you for taking the time to talk with us. Cleveland Sellers: Thank you, thank you. JD: I would like to start with your early childhood. You were born and raised right here in Denmark, weren’t you? CS: Born and raised in Denmark. The irony is, is that it’s been pretty much a complete circle for me, in that I started out here as a mascot for the college in—when I was three years old. And I came back in 2008 as president of the college. So, it’s a very interesting experience returning home. Dr. Cleveland Sellers, March 21, 2013 2 JD: Yeah, must be. CS: Yes. JD: What was it like growing up in Denmark? Tell us something about your childhood, your family. CS: Well, the first bit of information is, is that the college here was the center, cultural center of and educational center for the community.

6 The movie-made Movement: civil rites of passage Sharon Monteith Memory believes before knowing remembers. (William Faulkner) Forgetting is just another kind of remembering. (Robert Penn Warren) Film history cannibalises images, expropriates themes and tech- niques, and decants them into the contents of our collective memory. Movie memories are influenced by the (inter)textuality of media styles – Fredric Jameson has gone so far as to argue that such styles displace ‘real’ history. The Civil Rights Movement made real history but the Movement struggle was also a media event, played out as a teledrama in homes across the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and it is being replayed as a cinematic event. The interrela- tionship of popular memory and cinematic representations finds a telling case study in the civil rights era in the American South. This chapter assesses what films made after the civil rights era of the 1950s and 1960s express about the failure of the Movement to sus- tain and be sustained in its challenges to inequality and racist injus- tice. It argues that popular cultural currency relies on invoking images present in the sedimented layers of civil rights preoccupa- tions but that in the 1980s and 1990s movies also tap into ‘struc- tures of feeling’. Historical verisimilitude is bent to include what Tom Hayden called in 1962 ‘a reassertion of the personal’ as part of the political, but it is also bent to re-present the Movement as a communal struggle in which ordinary southern white people are much more significant actors in the personal and even the public space of civil rights politics than was actually the case.

Let Justice Roll Down: the Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965)
Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1998 Volume I: The Use and Abuse of History in Film and Video Let Justice Roll Down: The Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965) Curriculum Unit 98.01.06 by Joan Rapczynski The curriculum unit I have chosen will be incorporated into the United States History II course that is required of all eleventh graders in the city of New Haven. The unit will focus on the Civil Rights Movement during the years 1954-1965. In my past years of teaching American History, one of my goals was to make history come alive and be exciting for my students. I used a variety of techniques in the classroom recognizing the fact that students learn in a multitude of ways. One method I have found to be extremely successful is the use of visual materials. Films can bring a lesson to life. They can play a vital role in stirring up social issues of the past. Hollywood, as well as independent film companies have created many films that address the issues of the civil rights movement. In viewing a film students can acquire an incredible amount of comprehensive knowledge on a topic. Film visually recreates the time period for students. They are able to see physical gestures, cadences of speech, style of dress, style of architecture, as well as experience the environment. After viewing and discussing the film, students are usually amazed at the amount of factual knowledge they acquired while they were being entertained. I have found it to be an unusual instance when a classroom lecture can have the same impact as a powerful film.

White Anti-Racism Organising in 1960S, 70S, and 80S US Social Movements
The Workshop As the Work: White Anti-Racism Organising in 1960s, 70s, and 80s US Social Movements Sarah Nicole Burgin Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds, School of History Submitted September 2013 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. © 2013 The University of Leeds and Sarah Nicole Burgin 1 Acknowledgements Mere acknowledgements cannot relate the deep sense of gratefulness I hold for so many individuals, without whom I would have folded on this arduous, wonderful project years ago. This research project was possible because of a number of grants and scholarships that I received. The School of History at the University of Leeds, the Worldwide Universities Network, the Economic History Society, and the British Association of American Studies all provided the funding necessary to carry out this project. I was lucky to work with the wonderful librarians and archivists at the Wisconsin Historical Society, the Walter Reuther Library at Wayne State University, Special Collections at Northeastern University, and Harvard‘s Schlesinger Library. I especially want to thank Michelle Romero at Northeastern and William Lefevre at Wayne State for answering countless email requests. Several months after my research had finished at the Reuther, a wonderful, passionate archivist passed away. Tom Featherstone patiently answered my inane questions about audiovisual sources that I really knew nothing about, always pointed me in the right direction, and generally made archiving one of the coolest practices I know.
