  • The National Negro Health Movement and the Fight to Control Public Health Policy in the African American Community, 1915-1950
    ENTHRONING HEALTH: THE NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH MOVEMENT AND THE FIGHT TO CONTROL PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, 1915-1950 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Paul Alexander Braff Diploma Date December 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Bettye Collier-Thomas, Advisory Chair, History Dr. Bryant Simon, History Dr. Lila Berman, History Dr. James Downs, External Reader, Gettysburg College ii © Copyright 2020 by Paul Braff ________________ All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT In the early 1900s, African Americans died at higher rates, got sick more often, and had worse health outcomes for almost all diseases when compared to whites. This disparity was due to a combination of racism, discrimination, and segregation. Most blacks could only afford to live in unhealthy conditions and had little or no access to medical professionals. Problematically, poor black health led many whites to think of blacks as being inherently diseased, promoting the segregation and discrimination that contributed to black ill health in the first place. This project examines Negro Health Week (NNHW), which became National Negro Health Week (NNHW), a public health campaign designed by African Americans as a systematic effort to improve their health that lasted between 1915 and 1950. The dissertation reveals the strategies African Americans used to empower themselves to combat ill health and the ways medical ideas became accessible to blacks. The racism of the white medical establishment limited the ability of African Americans to enter the medical profession. The small number of black doctors and nurses meant that NHW had to rely on non-medical professionals to teach health practices.

THE INFLUENCE OF GEOGRAPHY ON SLAVERY 1 week STATE STANDARDS AAH.1 Analyze the economic, political, and social reasons for focusing the slave trade on Africa, including the role of Africans, Europeans and colonists. AAH.2 Analyze the role of geography on the growth and development of slavery. AAH.3 Assess the impact of the slave trade on Africa and the colonies. AAH.4 Identify and explain the Middle Passage as one of the largest forced migrations in human history. BIG IDEAS African-Americans, both slave and free, not only influenced Jamestown in 1607, but influenced the colonization of America, all the way to the American Revolution in 1775. RELEVANCE: Although the majority are, not every African-American is derived from the roots of slavery. Some early inhabitants of Jamestown were free blacks. TNSS: AAH.1 Economic, geographic and social factors all contributed to the rise of slavery in the Americas. RELEVANCE: Enslavement of Africans was not strictly an economic issue. Geography fit into the question because Africans could be transplanted as slaves to the Caribbean and southern United States to use skills they already possessed. The stigma of slavery associated with dark skin color of African slaves was not always present as there were some people of African descent who did not come to the Americas as slaves. TNSS: AAH.1 Slavery ultimately flourished and aided economic increase in the American colonies. RELEVANCE: Slavery was not only a cheap source of labor in the Americas, but it was effective, too, as slaves greatly boosted the economy of the colonies.

  • World War II and the Origins of the Freedom Struggle
    1 World War II and the Origins of the Freedom Struggle For African Americans, the ultimate aim of politics, either protest or electoral, has been liberation. Seeking emancipation from the bondage of white supremacy, disfranchised southern blacks challenged the political system for admission, even as they hoped to transform it by their participation. Civil rights proponents have long believed that blacks could not be free without obtaining the right to vote. At the turn of the century, W. E. B. Du Bois set the standard for rejecting racial solutions that excluded the exercise of the franchise. Attacking Booker T. Washington for his strategy of postponing black participation at the ballot box, Du Bois insisted that the right to vote was intimately connected to first-class citizenship. Without it blacks would never command respect, protect themselves, and feel pride in their own race. To Du Bois, a scholar of the freedom struggle after the Civil War, Reconstruction provided vivid evidence that black elected officials could transform the lives of their constituents. From this experience they derived the historical lesson, summarized by Eric Foner, that “it was in politics that blacks articulated a new vision of the American state, calling upon government, both national and local, to take upon itself new and unprecedented respon- sibilities for protecting the civil rights of individual citizens.” The long history to obtain the right to vote suggests that reenfranchise- ment was considered the decisive first step toward political equality. Civil rights proponents expected participation at the polls to yield the kinds of basic benefits thatCOPYRIGHTED groups exercising the franchise MATERIAL customarily enjoyed.
