    History 332-01, Spring 2005 Civil Rights and Black Freedom (RI, WI) Professor Tom Jackson Tuesday, Thursday, 11:00-12:15 Office: 200 McIver Building HEHP 351 Office Phone: 334-5709; History Dept.: 334-5992 [email protected] Office Hours: T, 1:30-2:30, Th, 12:30-1:30, W, by appt. This course begins with the assumption that women’s activism and issues of human rights and economic justice were integral elements of the African American freedom movement that spanned the twentieth century. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s looks different in this light, less distinctive chronologically and regionally, and suffused with issues not traditionally regarded as central to “civil rights” politics. This was more than simply a heroic battle against southern segregation, violence and disfranchisement. It was more than a series of dramatic, publicized confrontations that led to national policy breakthroughs. It was also a mass movement of ordinary people, intensely local, rife with internal conflict and contending ideologies, confronting bitter failures as well as extraordinary breakthroughs. Reconsidering the traditional civil rights narrative, we will examine Martin Luther King’s nonviolence, celebrity, and charismatic leadership in the context of his larger commitments to racial and economic justice, to international peace and to a global war on poverty. As a related issue, we will examine the mass media’s powerful role in communicating (and obscuring) the movement’s aspirations to national and international audiences. We will examine issues and people that did not make headlines: grass-roots organizers, women, labor union activists and working class “foot soldiers,” northern civil rights activists, articulate black nationalists, and especially, people who insisted that class and gender equality must also be goals in the struggle for racial equality.

Here is a sample article published in the Selma Times Journal about the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom trip to Selma, Alabama in April 2018. Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom visits Selma2 Published 10:32 pm Thursday, April 26, 2018 By Adam Dodson | The Selma Times-Journal A Muslim and Jewish women’s group, known as the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, visited Selma on Tuesday for a tour of the city and to look for guidance of how to peacefully protest the marginalization of their identities. A city known as a catalyst for the voting rights movement, Selma is frequented by people from out of town who want to pay their respects to those who stood up for what they believe in. 1 https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-write-a-news-article-1857250 2 https://www.selmatimesjournal.com/2018/04/26/sisterhood-of-salaam-shalom-visits-selma/ The stop in Selma is part of their tour of the south, visiting other civil rights locations in Atlanta, Memphis, Montgomery and Birmingham as well. The tour stems from their belief that modern day society still labels stereotypes and attempts to marginalize their two religions.

  • Utz on Gaillard, 'Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement That Changed America'
    H-1960s Utz on Gaillard, 'Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement That Changed America' Review published on Monday, August 1, 2005 Frye Gaillard. Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement That Changed America. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2004. xvi + 419 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8173-1388-3. Reviewed by Karen Utz (University of Alabama Birmingham) Published on H-1960s (August, 2005) Alabama's Struggle for Justice Some of the key events of the civil rights movement took place in Alabama. Frye Gaillard's Cradle of Freedom focuses on the Montgomery Bus Boycott, George Wallace's infamous stand in the doorway at the University of Alabama, the Freedom Rides, the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, and Bloody Sunday. This fine book speaks to the bravery and wisdom of the leaders and legends of the movement--Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Stokley Carmichael, and Fred Shuttlesworth, who claimed that for him the cause took "divine insanity" (p.106). The strength of this extraordinary story is Gaillard's compelling portrayal of the early civil rights leaders, as well as all the ordinary "apostles of decency," both black and white, who believed it was possible to build a better world (p.xvi). Gaillard recognizes such overlooked individuals as Charles Gomillion, a professor at Tuskegee Institute who spent over thirty years crusading for black voting rights, and Vernon Johns, King's eloquent predecessor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, who continually spoke out against the "indignities of segregation" (p.xvi). Twenty years earlier, Alabamian Aubrey William, Roosevelt's director of the National Youth Administration, championed the concept of work relief and provided jobs to young black and white males during the Great Depression.

Organizations and individuals throughout the United States called for racial justice and for the termination of segregation in the South. A group that had a significant impact on the outcome of the Civil Rights movement in Birmingham, Alabama was young children. In Birmingham, the local coalition began to call for children to march in protests in place of their parents. So, if arrests were to transpire, less economic stress would occur because adults could still be working and making an income. From May 2nd to May 7th, 1963, over 2,000 children marched across Birmingham, Alabama to nonviolently protest racial inequality in their city. Children’s involvement in the 1960s civil rights protests in Birmingham was critical to a successful outcome in the movement.

Dick Ramsay, who is in very close contact with the CORE group and the NAACP in Greensboro, had invited me to a planning meeting that night, so Charles Davis and I went over to Greensboro about 9:00 that night. There have been no demonstrations in Greensboro for about a year, and I understand that the Mayor's Human Relations Committee has not been very active since its creation during the crisis last spring. Bill Thomas, CORE Chairman, George Simkins, NAACP President, Tony Stanley, A. and T.
