Two Generations of Black Duke Football Players MY BROTHER’S KEEPER: Two Generations of Black Duke Football Players A senior thesis presented by Michelle Lynne Staggers in partial fulfillment of the requirements for GRADUATION WITH DISTINCTION in The department of CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY Duke University Durham, North Carolina May 2019 SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. Laurie McIntosh — Supervisor Dr. Zoila Airall— 1st Committee Member Anna Dowell, PhD candidate— 2nd Committee Member Abstract The NCAA is a multi-billion dollar industry built on the athletic labor of African American males at predominantly white institutions. This thesis explores Black collective identity through the 1st cohort of African American football players and contemporary football players at Duke University. Utilizing interviews and archival material for the historical aspect, in conjunction with participant-observation for the present time, I look to understand the importance of kin-like bonds for Black male athletes, regardless of the era, in navigating a largely white hegemonic space. I integrate numerous theories such as Marx’s commodity fetishism, identity foreclosure, and fictive kinship to give a thorough analysis of ways in which Black Duke football players face exploitation and prejudice inside of the athletic and academic sphere on campus. My research argues that brotherhood among Black football players held more significance forty-two years ago than it does today. As modern capitalism has restructured the experiences of Black male athletes at big-time sports universities, more attention must be directed to developing and supporting modern Black athletes. 2

thesis is a testament of God’s goodness. Looking back, I know He placed specific people in my life at the right time to bring this project together. So first, I want to thank God and my family for supporting me in my academic endeavors. Thank you Dr. Airall for being my mentor. You were the first person to believe in me. Thank you for your kindness, love, and constant encouragement throughout the year. I truly looked forward to our weekly meetings to hear your feedback, and mostly sit and listen to your stories. You are a source of inspiration. Thank you for caring about the future of Black athletes as much as I do. Thank you Anna Dowell for leading this year’s troupe of thesis writers and your commitment to helping us shape our best piece of anthropological work. I am grateful for your laborious editing of my drafts, and teaching me how to be a better writer. Thank you for making me a young scholar. Thank you Dr. McIntosh for taking on the responsibility of being my primary advisor. You are a well- respected professor by all Black women at this University, and I appreciated you devoting time and energy into my project. Thank you Dr. Smith for seeing the potential of this work. In our first meeting, I came to your office, head spinning with a whirlwind of ideas, and you were able to pull out my research question. I look up to you as a former collegiate scholar-athlete, and hope to become an inspiring educator too. I know I speak for all of the Black athletes at Duke when I say that we appreciate your dedication to teaching about subjects we relate to, and the passion you have to see us succeed. Thank you Can Evren and Tracie Canada for being my graduate mentors. Can, I finished this work on time because of your dedication to meeting with me weekly, and rigorously tearing through my ethnography and literature. Tracie, you are the reason I took on this project. Watching you so gracefully approach your research towards African American football players inspired me to also take ownership of my experience as a Black female collegiate athlete. Thank you Michael Bennett for granting me the opportunity to write about your brothers, and thank you Super Seven members for trusting me with your story. Your names deserved to be etched into Duke’s history forever. You are all the epitome of honor, excellence, and bravery. Thank you Jen Fry, United Black Athletes, Black football players, Duke Athletics, and Black Student- Athlete Summit— I have written this thesis to honor those who advocate for bettering the experiences of Black athletes at the university level. Though sometimes we as student-athletes do not feel we have much power, it is organizations/programs like yours that give us the strategy and resources we need to see real change. Because of your work, this year Duke Athletics has committed to diversity/inclusion outreach programming. Thank you Amy Mcdonald and Linda Daniels, for opening up the Duke Library archives to me and helping me navigate the literature on sports and race in America. Thank you Erick, Jair, Margaret, and Ellie for being my thesis cohort, for peer-reviewing my work, and for all

  • Neil's Young Trustee Application
    Neil’s Young Trustee Application Name: Neil Kondamuri Year: 2014 Email: [email protected] Phone: 219.384.7907 Class Year and School: Senior / Trinity College of Arts and Sciences 1. What is your perception of the role of Young Trustee? “The reason for including students on the Board of Trustees was ... to get younger members on the Board ... whose viewpoint, close to students, would be a valuable addition.” ­ Terry Sanford on the role of the Young Trustee The Young Trustee is a full voting member of Duke’s governing body for two years of a three­ year term. Thus, the Young Trustee is first a Trustee, with the primary goal of minding Duke’s best interests, and second, a Board member with the unique undergraduate perspective fresh in mind. Similar to Sanford’s perspective, I believe the Young Trustee’s role is to offer the unique perspective of a current or recently graduated student. A typical Duke student is engrossed in a fundamentally different environment in college and post­college than most Trustees were. This distinctive position allows him or her to offer new insights into various questions that a typical Board member may not have. An ideal Young Trustee understands the complexities of life at Duke and should be able to translate that viewpoint into actionable policy. It is important to note that a Young Trustee is not an advocate of any group or its mission, but rather serves as a representative for the general student body’s issues. He or she must embody a typical Duke student and must have an excellent comprehension of problems that concern the student body.

Her home was in a little valley, through which ran a branch of the Croton River. The murmur of the flowing water was the music of her earliest childhood. Her fancy reveled in the silvery tones that rose incessantly from the hum ble brook. They spoke to her in a language which she could understand, and she learned to translate them into her own vernacular.

  • Kidwatching: a Vygotskyan Approach to Children's Language in the "Star Wars" Age
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 353 221 SP 034 203 AUTHOR Monroe, Suzanne S. TITLE Kidwatching: A Vygotskyan Approach to Children's Language In the "Star Wars" Age. PUB DATE [85] NOTE 26p.; Contains light type and toner streaks in places. PUB TYPE Reports General (140) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Child Language; Childrens Games; Early Childhood Education; Expressive Language; *Language Acquisition; Oral Language; *Play; Sex Bias; *Sex Differences; Technological Advancement IDENTIFIERS *Vygotsky (Lev S) ABSTRACT A Vygotskyan review of children's language examines language samples of a 7-year-old boy at home, at a birthday party, and at play in a sandbox. The language samples indicate common patterns, including his use of tools and symbol together in play. A common thread in the samples is his involvement with high tech tools of futuristic toys. Vygotsky believed the use of tools and signs shared important properties (they both involve mediating activity). He claimed a child's speech was as important as action in attaining goals, and the more complex the action demanded by the situation, the greater the importance of speech in the total operation. Vygotsky emphasized the historically shaped, culturally transmitted psychology of humans. He considered play the primary means of children's cultural development, noting that every function in the child's cultural development appeared on a social, then later, psychological level. Observation of children at a day care center, showed that the child's play involved futuristic adventures that evolved from television, the toy market, and Halloween. It was observed that boys and girls used similar language related to special occasions, but that girls focused on the domestic scene, and boys focused on the external environment.
