Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years in the Black Belt No question is being asked by the American people more earnestly today than this one: Lord, What shall this man, the Negro, do, - this black man upon whom centuries of ignorance have left their marks? He has made a faithful slave, a courageous soldier, and when trained and educated, an industrious and law abiding citizen, yet he is troubled on every side. What shall he do? Uneducated, undisciplined, untrained, he is Often ferocious or dangerous; he makes a criminal of the lowest type for he is the product of ignorance. Crime has increased in proportion as educational privileges have been withdrawn. This brings the Negro face to face with a most dangerous criminal force. What shall this man do? It is true that the white man is further up on the ladder Of civilization than the Negro, but the Negro desires to climb and has made rapid strides, according to his chances. Christ's answer to Peter was, What is that to thee, follow thou Me. John's future welfare evidently depended upon Peter's ability to follow Christ. So the future work and welfare of the Negro in the black-belt of the South depend largely upon the Christian work of the southern white man. The Negro needs justice and mercy from the courts of the land and asks for equal rights in educational opportunities.

Work Requirements
Author: Todd Carmody
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 147802268X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Throughout the history of the United States, work-based social welfare practices have served to affirm the moral value of work. In the late nineteenth century this representational project came to be mediated by the printed word with the emergence of industrial print technologies, the expansion of literacy, and the rise of professionalization. In Work Requirements Todd Carmody asks how work, even the most debasing or unproductive labor, came to be seen as inherently meaningful during this era. He explores how the print culture of social welfare—produced by public administrators, by economic planners, by social scientists, and in literature and the arts—tasked people on the social and economic margins, specifically racial minorities, incarcerated people, and people with disabilities, with shoring up the fundamental dignity of work as such. He also outlines how disability itself became a tool of social discipline, defined by bureaucratized institutions as the inability to work. By interrogating the representational effort necessary to make work seem inherently meaningful, Carmody ultimately reveals a forgotten history of competing efforts to think social belonging beyond or even without work.

Freedom's Teacher
Author: Katherine Mellen Charron
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807898465
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
In the mid-1950s, Septima Poinsette Clark (1898-1987), a former public school teacher, developed a citizenship training program that enabled thousands of African Americans to register to vote and then to link the power of the ballot to concrete strategies for individual and communal empowerment. In this vibrantly written biography, Katherine Charron demonstrates Clark's crucial role--and the role of many black women teachers--in making education a cornerstone of the twentieth-century freedom struggle. Using Clark's life as a lens, Charron sheds valuable new light on southern black women's activism in national, state, and judicial politics, from the Progressive Era to the civil rights movement and beyond.

Freedom's Teacher, Enhanced Ebook
Author: Katherine Mellen Charron
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807837601
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Civil rights activist Septima Poinsette Clark (1898-1987) developed a citizenship education program that enabled tens of thousands of African Americans to register to vote and to link the power of the ballot to concrete strategies for individual and communal empowerment. Clark, who began her own teaching career in 1916, grounded her approach in the philosophy and practice of southern black activist educators in the decades leading up to the 1950s and 1960s, and then trained a committed cadre of grassroots black women to lead this literacy revolution in community stores, beauty shops, and churches throughout the South. In this engaging biography, Katherine Charron tells the story of Clark, from her coming of age in the South Carolina lowcountry to her activism with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the movement's heyday. The enhanced electronic version of the book draws from archives, libraries, and the author's personal collection and includes nearly 100 letters, documents, photographs, newspaper articles, and interview excerpts, embedding each in the text where it will be most meaningful. Featuring more than 60 audio clips (more than 2.5 hours total) from oral history interviews with 15 individuals, including Clark herself, the enhanced e-book redefines the idea of the "talking book."
