It read, “[n]ew approach wins race for Johnson” (Stringfellow 1997, 1A). Implied in this “new approach” is the notion that Johnson ran a dera- cialized (or race-neutral) campaign in 1993 and lost, then ran a racialized (or Byron D’Andra Orey race-specific) campaign in 1997 and won. The article specifically suggests University of Nebraska, Lincoln that Johnson’s (1997) campaign was similar to the one Harold Washington ran in the 1983 Chicago mayoral election, an election categorized by many In 1997, Harvey Johnson made history by becoming the first black to scholars as a racialized campaign (see e.g., Albritton et al. 1996).

  • NCOBPS 2016 Program
    1 2 Dear Conference Attendees and Supporters: On behalf of the leadership of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS), I welcome you to the 47th Annual Meeting of this beloved association. For nearly 50 years, NCOBPS has been an intellectual home and a vibrant forum for Black political scientists and other scholars who have seen it as our mission to use various forms of political and policy analysis so to enlighten, empower, and to serve Global Black communities. True to the vision of our founders and elders, our mission remains that of a ‘growing organization in the struggle for the liberation of African peoples.’ This mission is no less relevant today than it was nearly 50 years ago given that Global Black communities still confront an unnerving number of barriers to racial, political, and economic justice as intersected by other forms of oppression. The theme of this 47th Annual Meeting is “Black Power, Black Lives: 50 Years After the March Against Fear.” It pays tribute to a heroic activism, rooted in Mississippi soil, which countered white supremacy and demanded the full recognition of African Americans’ humanity and citizenship rights. This local struggle also continues. While you are here in Jackson, Mississippi, one of the activist headquarters and continuing battlefields for human rights equality, enjoy yourself (eat some catfish, listen to some blues music, and see the sights) but of course take full advantage of all of what our brilliant conference organizers and local arrangements committee have provided. We extend our great thanks for their extreme dedication and hard work! We also extend a warm greeting to all of our guests and a heart-felt thanks to all of our co-sponsors and local partners.

BOUVELARD By STEVEN FENTON SPINA A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Steven Fenton Spina 2 In recognition of the street naming pioneers featured in this dissertation: James and Joanna Tokley and their compatriots in Tampa Charles Smith for his efforts in Palmetto Irene Dobson and her neighbors in Zephyrhills LeRoy Boyd and Movement for Change in Pensacola. Without their courage and conviction, change would not have been realized. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank my dissertation committee comprised of Dr. Sharon Austin, Dr. Larry Dodd, Dr. Stephanie Evans, Dr. David Hedge and Dr. Lynn Leverty for their guidance, patience and scholarly insights to this work. To my wife, Judy, who has believed in this project and supported me through the years of completing this dream of mine, and I recognize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose long shadow is cast upon these pages and who inspired this project. His words below contribute to the title and ideals put forth within this dissertation. We can choose either to walk the high road of human brotherhood or to tread the low road of man‟s inhumanity to man. History has thrust upon our generation an indescribably important destiny – to complete a process of democratization which our nation has too long developed too slowly. The future of America is bound up in the present crisis.

    NCOBPS President: Sekou Franklin NCOBPS Vice-President: Tiffany Willoughby-Herard Executive Director: Kathie Stromile Golden Co-Chairs of the Annual Conference: Gladys Mitchell-Walthour, Donn Worgs, Ollie Johnson Black Politics and Black People as the Conscience of Nations Conference Co-Chairs: Gladys Mitchell-Walthour, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Ollie Johnson, Wayne State University Donn Worgs, Towson University The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021. The CBC has been deemed the “Conscience of Congress” in recognition of its broader commitment to racial and economic justice for African Americans, Africa, and the Diaspora. In light of the CBC’s 50th anniversary, the National Conference of Black Political Science (NCOBPS) seeks papers, panels, and roundtables that examine how Black people in the United States and the African Diaspora are often viewed as the “Conscience” of their nation-states and the moral authority in social movements and institutional politics. This includes Black voters and candidates, as well as Black women who are often the moral compass that shapes the direction of Black politics and the nation-states. The Black Lives Matter-inspired protests in the Summer 2020 further exemplify the transformative impact of Black political agency. Even in Latin America Black women are leading constituents in elections and social movements, such as in Brazil, where they have been critical in shaping presidential and state elections. The conference theme—“Black Politics and Black People as the Conscience of Nations”—examines the multi-layered ways in which Black Politics, both domestic and abroad, continue to serve as moral anchors for advancing liberation, justice, and ameliorative policies.
