  • The Politics of Charter School Growth and Sustainability in Harlem
    REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM by Basil A. Smikle Jr. Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Basil A. Smikle Jr. All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM By Basil A. Smikle Jr. The complex and thorny relationship betWeen school-district leaders, sub-city political and community figures and teachers’ unions on the subject of charter schools- an interaction fraught with racially charged language and tactics steeped in civil rights-era mobilization - elicits skepticism about the motives of education reformers and their vieW of minority populations. In this study I unpack the local politics around tacit and overt racial appeals in support of NeW York City charter schools with particular attention to Harlem, NeW York and periods when the sustainability of these schools, and long-term education reforms, were endangered by changes in the political and legislative landscape. This dissertation ansWers tWo key questions: How did the Bloomberg-era governing coalition and charter advocates in NeW York City use their political influence and resources to expand and sustain charter schools as a sector; and how does a community with strong historic and cultural narratives around race, education and political activism, respond to attempts to enshrine externally organized school reforms? To ansWer these questions, I employ a case study analysis and rely on Regime Theory to tell the story of the Mayoral administration of Michael Bloomberg and the cadre of charter leaders, philanthropies and wealthy donors whose collective activity created a climate for growth of the sector.

  • The African-American Church, Political Activity, and Tax Exemption
    JAMES_EIC 1/11/2007 9:47:35 PM The African-American Church, Political Activity, and Tax Exemption Vaughn E. James∗ ABSTRACT Ever since its inception during slavery, the African-American Church has served as an advocate for the socio-economic improve- ment of this nation’s African-Americans. Accordingly, for many years, the Church has been politically active, serving as the nurturing ground for several African-American politicians. Indeed, many of the country’s early African-American legislators were themselves mem- bers of the clergy of the various denominations that constituted the African-American Church. In 1934, Congress amended the Internal Revenue Code to pro- hibit tax-exempt entities—including churches and other houses of worship—from allowing lobbying to constitute a “substantial part” of their activities. In 1954, Congress further amended the Code to place an absolute prohibition on political campaigning by these tax-exempt organizations. While these amendments did not specifically target churches and other houses of worship, they have had a chilling effect on efforts by these entities to fulfill their mission. This chilling effect is felt most acutely by the African-American Church, a church estab- lished to preach the Gospel and engage in activities which would im- prove socio-economic conditions for the nation’s African-Americans. This Article discusses the efforts made by the African-American Church to remain faithful to its mission and the inadvertent attempts ∗ Professor of Law, Texas Tech University School of Law.

Hirschman Associate Professor of Religion Reader iii ABSTRACT A CALL TO EXCELLENCE: LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND MENTORING MANUAL FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY Verna Mazak Liberty University School of Divinity, 2016 Mentor: Dr. Charlie Davidson The growth of women in leadership within the local church is at an all-time high. These women face tremendous obstacles as they seek to lead the twenty-first century church. This thesis investigates the role of African American women in the Black Baptist church to identify skills necessary for successful leadership within the denomination. Going beyond analysis and exploration, it answers the question of how to develop a training and mentorship program specifically designed to prepare African-American women for excellence in leadership. A survey of fifty church staff and members of various Black Baptist churches was conducted to determine the perspective and experiences of women in leadership. Interviews with three women serving as pastors within the Black Baptist church facilitated in the gathering of key data. This information was used to format a training and mentoring manual that effectively prepare African American women for leadership in the Black Baptist church.

    1 | P a g e REMEMBER EMANUEL— WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2015 The Welcome The Consecration* Pastor Wm Hale Eternal God, we pause to give You thanks for the victims and the survivors of the Mother Emanuel massacre. We rejoice today because through this tragic experience, we are reminded that evil and hatred does not have the last say, but that love overcomes all fear and that Your grace comforts us through times of pain and sorrow. We pray that the legacy of the Emanuel 9 will continue to live through us and that in these times of injustice we will remind the world of Your justice. We pray that in these times of heighten fear that we remind the world of Your steadfast love for all of Your creation. We pray that in these times of intolerance and inequality that we remind the world of how good it is when God’s children dwell together in unity. Make us Your light in the darkness of this world so that all will come into the knowledge of your love, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. The Call* One Voice: O God, our help throughout the ages and our Sustainer for years to come, we thank you for the lives of our brothers and sisters of Mother Emanuel AME and all the ways they have blessed us. Many Voices: Some are still with us. Some are no more. One Voice: May the remembrance of their love, their courage, and their compassion call us to gratitude throughout our lives, that generations yet to come may give you praise for their legacy until that day when you make all things new.
