A review of literature reveals that little has been written about the college‘s role in the Civil Rights Movement during this time.

  • Black Institutions and the Rise of Student Activism In
    SHELTER IN A TIME OF STORM: BLACK COLLEGES AND THE RISE OF STUDENT ACTIVISM IN JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jelani Manu-Gowon Favors, B.A., M.A. The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Warren Van Tine, Adviser Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Co-Adviser Leslie Alexander William Nelson Jr. Approved by Adviser Graduate Program in History Co-Adviser Graduate Program in History Copyright by Jelani M. Favors ABSTRACT The most underdeveloped area of study concerning the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s is the effect of Black student activism during the explosive decade. The field is currently dominated by two-dimensional studies that define student activism under the banner of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), or the Black Studies campaigns on white college campuses in the latter half of the decade. Assessing student protests merely through this lens yields a narrow view of this generation of activists. One cause of our failure to identify these students is that scholars of the Civil Rights Movement have ignored the very environment in which the majority of student activists lived, learned, socialized, and ultimately revolted. Analyses of Black colleges invariably conclude that they were paternalistic and their curriculums were conformist, if not geared toward assimilation. Students from these all-Black institutions in the South succeeded in their public and private assault against the policies of Jim Crow and at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement they vaulted the struggle for human rights to unprecedented levels.

  • The Cultural Significance of Old Age in the American South, 1830-1900
    THE CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF OLD AGE IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH, 1830-1900 By MARCUS G. HARVEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2001 Copyright 2001 by Marcus G. Harvey PREFACE But for his savage beating of Charles Sumner on the floor of the U.S. Senate, it is unlikely that the short-lived Preston Brooks would have cut much of a figure in the history books. His precipitous act came, however, at a crucial moment. In 1856, many Northerners were ready to see in Brooks' violence a confirmation of the abolitionist argument that slavery brutalized white Southerners. For Southerners, Sumner's "Crime against Kansas" speech which had provoked the assault gave such offense that Brooks became an embodiment of Southern resistance to the perceived indignities the region was enduring.' For Brooks himself, the imperative for action stemmed from the affront to an aged kinsman and to his home: "I felt it my duty to relieve Butler and avenge the insult to my State. Although clearly prompted by its dictates, the relationship between the code of honor and Brooks' actions is complex. Brooks and Sumner were social equals and, despite his opposition to slavery, Sumner had commanded respect below the Mason- Dixon in the years prior to 1856. At least one proslavery tract-a response to Uncle Tom's 'One need only visit the South Caroliniana collection in Columbia to be reminded of Brooks' importance to Southern identity. Although his violent temper got him expelled from the University days before his graduation, the library's wall sports a "Tribute" to his memory.
