  • 1 Steven H. Hobbs1 I Plucked My
    INTRODUCTION ALABAMA’S MIRROR: THE PEOPLE’S CRUSADE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS Steven H. Hobbs1 I plucked my soul out of its secret place, And held it to the mirror of my eye To see it like a star against the sky, A twitching body quivering in space, A spark of passion shining on my face. from I Know by Soul, by Claude McKay2 On April 4, 2014, The University of Alabama School of Law hosted a symposium on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The papers presented at that symposium are included in this issue of the Alabama Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Law Review. The symposium was an opportunity to reflect on the reasons and history behind the Act, its implementation to make real the promises of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and the continuing urgency to make the principles of the Act a reality. We, in essence, plucked out the soul of our constitutional democracy’s guarantee of equality under the law and held it up for self-reflection. In introducing the symposium, I note the description that appeared in the program stating the hope for the event: This symposium is a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The passage of the Act marked the beginning of a new era of American public life. At the time it was enacted, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was perceived by many to be the codified culmination of decades of 1 Tom Bevill Chairholder of Law, University of Alabama School of Law.

  • Education and Workforce Committee 2018 Mayoral Transition Report
    Education and Workforce Committee 2018 Mayoral Transition Report 2018 Mayoral Transition Report Education and Workforce Committee I. Scope of Review Education and Workforce Development constitutes the core means by which we prepare our children to succeed in life. One cannot exist without the other. A high quality education is essential in preparing students to graduate from high school or college, ready to enter the workforce and support an even higher quality of life. An intense and collaborative focus of workforce needs, generated from employers and the general marketplace, are required in order for students to understand where their brightest future may lie. The two efforts, however, must work closely together in order to provide our children the greatest hope and opportunity for success. The Education and Workforce Committee (EWC) has examined both education and workforce development in Birmingham and the region surrounding it. The Committee has focused on how the Mayor’s Office can provide constructive support to both Education and Workforce Development efforts. It has become clear that the City is in need of cooperation, support, and most of all, leadership. While there is no lack of workforce programming among regional agency and community partners, the EWC sees a lack of cohesion among their various efforts and targeted goals. With that said, Birmingham would thrive from a city-led workforce development program to be facilitated from the Mayor’s Office, with dedicated personnel and resources that offers cross-system collaborations with city and state government, non-profit organizations, education entities, and the business community. Building on successes such as Innovate Birmingham, the Mayor’s office should expand public/private partnerships to accomplish the recommendations and goals in this report.

  • Lost in Litigation: Untold Stories of a Title Ix Lawsuit
    LOST IN LITIGATION: UNTOLD STORIES OF A TITLE IX LAWSUIT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kylee Jo Short, M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Sarah K. Fields, Advisor Dr. Melvin Adelman Dr. Brian Turner Copyrighted by Kylee Jo Short 2012 Abstract Girls and women in the United States are more active participants of sport than ever before. Many attribute this dramatic increase to the impact of Title IX, the legislation that requires gender equity in educational settings. However, Title IX is proving just to be the first step, as it does not address all of the issues. Namely, application of the law skips over the fact that poor women of color are ultimately left out of the equation. Women and girls of color are not “winning” the Title IX game like white women and girls. On the contrary, the application of Title IX ignores poor, black females. The purpose of this project is to fill the void left by ignoring poor girls of color by considering the voices that are often lost in Title IX fights. In considering the most recent lawsuit to reach the Supreme Court, Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education, I explore the impact of this Title IX lawsuit on the Birmingham community. Through interviews with several involved in this lawsuit—Coach Jackson, three of his former players, a parent, a student, and an athletic administrator—I provide several angles on how Title IX played out at the local level.

  • We're Going Too!
    “We’re Going Too!” The Children of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gisell Jeter-Bennett, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Lilia Fernández Judy Wu Copyright by Gisell Jeter-Bennett 2016 Abstract In 1963, the Birmingham, Alabama civil rights movement brought both national and international attention to the plight of southern African Americans. The Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR), in partnership with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), utilized nonviolent direct action – marches, sit- ins, jail-ins, and boycotts- to challenge Birmingham’s discriminatory laws and practices. The success of the Birmingham campaign was due in large part to the participation and personal sacrifice of black schoolchildren. This dissertation examines the local Birmingham movement from the perspective of its most indispensible participants, black youth. It explores what it meant to be a black child coming of age under Jim Crow. It analyzes the recruitment, participation, and impact of Birmingham black youth in the Children’s March, a weeklong protest from May 2 to May 7, 1963, during which over 2,000 children between ages six and eighteen marched through Birmingham’s streets in nonviolent protest against racial inequality. It also looks anew at the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church on September 15, 1963, which led to the deaths of four black school-aged girls, and the subsequent killing of two black boys.
