Black History Month: The Civil Rights Movement in America

Black History Month: The Civil Rights Movement in America

by Sunnyjane

The dignity of the victim.*

More than three-quarters of today’s Americans – both black and white — have no recollection of the Civil Rights Movement in this country.  Those who believe they know its history are under the misconception that it began with Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in 1955, or that it began with Dr. Martin Luther King’s involvement. 

During my long and involuntary hiatus from all-things-computer last fall, I reread two books stuffed into my overflowing and totally disorganized office bookcase.  Once again, I was struck by the depth and quality of the authors’ research, and the wealth of unbiased information contained between the covers.

There Goes My Everything

An ordinary sight in southern states, c. 1940

While most everything written on the Civil Rights Movement is told from the African-American perspective, Jason Sokol’s excellent book, There Goes My Everything: White Southerners in the Age of Civil Rights, 1945-1975, meticulously recounts how whites in the southern states faced the upheaval to their way of life that integration would bring.   They were terrified by the whole concept of equality for their fantasy world of our happy Negroes.  After all, colored people were inferior; everyone knew that!  Everyone knew it, of course, because they had been raised to believe it.

 
For me, the most powerful fifteen words in Sokol’s book were these: The differences between “blackness” and “whiteness” are socially constructed, with no basis whatsoever in biology.  I say powerful because equality-for-all proponents have tried for years to find words to counter the racist argument that the Negro is somehow substandard to the Caucasian.  This social construction began, of course, when wealthy plantation owners saw their indentured servants earn their freedom and were no longer obligated to work for free.  The solution to this problem of labor turnover was solved by the Colonists ability to obtain — as legal property — kidnapped Africans.  Because no gentleman of good breeding could ever enslave an equal, the (by European standards) un-Christian, uncultured, uneducated, and uncivilized Negroes were the solution.  Clearly, these were inferior people who were only suitable for back-breaking labor that plantations required.  The women were useful has house-help and breeding, much like livestock, to provide a continual source of slaves.  The white economy of the south required it.

As if imbedded in their individual DNA, successive generations of white southerners perpetuated the myth that Blacks were a lesser race, and were unfit to mingle with the pallid class. 

When civil rights protests began across the south, whites were at first perplexed, then indignant, and then rebellious.  The mere idea of having their way of life disrupted and threatened by those inferiors was, in most cases, more than they could endure.

It was an immensely challenging period for the South and its collective psyche.  Most whites ultimately adapted to the new world, albeit reluctantly.  And some of course, never gave up their favorite illusion that The Old South Will Rise Again.  (Spoiler: It didn’t.)

The Race Beat: The Press and the Civil Rights Movement

 

It took a long time for the national press to get involved in the struggle for equality.  Few people outside Alabama, for instance, knew that a colored seamstress named Rosa Parks had sparked a successful boycott of the Montgomery public transit system.  And prior to readingGene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff’s great book, The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation, I was unaware that there had been a vibrant Negro press for years before the historic effort for civil rights began.

There are reasons Americans were uninformed, of course.  Few people outside of big cities read national newspapers, preferring the local daillies or weeklies for their news; the TV networks focused on Washington politics in their limited news time-slots; and, of course, there was no Internet.  There was also an unspoken agreement between southern print media that there would be limited or no coverage of these silly little protests because they actually did not want the attention from outside that giving the issue publicity would bring.  The northern print media considered the whole matter a local problem, and of no concern to their readers.

Peaceful demonstrations against school segregation across the South

While northern media did report on the some school segregation demonstrations and protests, and ultimate integration of several school systems, after the drama was over the journalists went home.

The authors report on a black woman who, in 1956, was accepted at the University of Alabama.  Her first day on campus went smoothly; the next three days did not.  She was pushed, shoved, cursed at, screamed at, threatened and spit on by white students.  For her own safety, university authorities suspended her.  Her poise during these verbal and physical attacks moved one reporter to write, *What is this extraordinary resource of this otherwise unhappy country that it breeds such dignity in its victims?

A demonstrator is drenched by a fire hose with a water pressure strong enough to strip bark off a tree.

A college demonstrator is attacked by police dogs while taking part in a peaceful march.

Black and White college students injured during a peaceful protest.

White segregationists attack Black protesters at a public beach.

When the violence against protesters began, the southern states got exactly what they didn’t want: national exposure.  It was no longer a local problem; by then the large print media — and television — were reporting the movement on a daily basis, and America was horrified and outraged.  It was the beginning of the end of segregation.

Many civil rights heroes would never become icons of the movement; that would be left to the well known names of the era.  But they deserve our recognition and our appreciation.  Without their sacrifices, a certain man born during this movement would never have had an opportunity to become President of the United States.

End Note

The Forgotten Radical Science Movement

By JacobSloan on September 23, 2013 in News

Via the Guardian, Alice Bell on the 1970s movement involving some of the UK’s top scientists:

“We have to face the fact that there is a crisis in science today.” So said Maurice Wilkins on 19 April 1969 as he opened the one-day inaugural meeting of the British Society for Social Responsibility in Science (BSSRS). That’s Nobel Prize winner Maurice Wilkins. Other early supporters of the Society included JD Bernal, Francis Crick, Julian Huxley and Bertrand Russell.

The hall was full to overflowing with more than 300 delegates. Two hundred signed up there and then, with membership reaching over a thousand by the following year. They started publishing a newsletter and BSSRS branches popped up across the country.

What distinguishes the BSSRS from other campaigns is that it was not simply a matter of scientists calling for more research funds or demands for their voice in public policy. Rather, they aimed to open up the politics of science to scrutiny so it might change and improve. They perceived a crisis in wider society and felt science could help, but also thought science as it was currently constructed was part of the problem, so would need to change to use its powers for good.

Londoners would meet with debates on the problems of sponsored research or scientists’ relationships with the mass media. By the 1970s, this developed into a series of pub-based seminars on science and politics entitled “Beneath the white coat”.

By the summer of 1970 the BSSRS had set up an educational trust, with offices. Their publications grew with longer essays, illustrations and reports of more and more events, and from issue 18 (Oct 1972) onwards, it developed into bi-monthly Science for People magazine.

There was a strong and ongoing commitment to the peace movement, aware of the role of military funding in scientific research. Northern Ireland and the policing of dissent in the UK was a particular focus. From early on, the BSSRS was active in critiquing use of CS gas at home, discussing what they dubbed the technologies of political control (a book of the same name was published by Penguin in 1977).

The BSSRS took a newer interest in both the environment and women’s rights. They had a strong commitment to the class component of environmental problems, with strong concern for the welfare of the workers of science. In terms of feminism, an entire edition of Science for People was edited by women’s collective, and they maintained an ongoing interest in issues surrounding the intersection of science and gender.

Whether we put the fist/flask logos on T-shirts, are inspired by their more radical approach, argue they failed because they weren’t radical enough or simply wish to consign the whole movement to history, we should remember they existed.

The Forgotten Radical Science Movement

A Review of Victories in the Freedom Movement

We look at things like how mainstream media is now struggling to keep up with the alternative media and how alternative media is struggling to keep up with viral news stories from youtube and blog posters.

We also look at how government regulated education is being replaced by free information and study materials that can be accessed by the pressing of a few buttons on your keyboard. We also cover how 3D printing is threatening the retail monopolies from Wal-Mart to Nike to General Motors.

Lastly, we look at a few examples of individuals in communities that are standing up and competing with the government and proving that services provided on a voluntary basis are superior to services provided through coercion. This was a very uplifting episode and should not be missed.

A Review of Victories in the Freedom Movement

Is Lagos Home to an African Tech Movement?

What’s This?

By Monty Munford2013-05-20 03:01:07 UTC

The Lagos taxi driver roars across the biggest bridge in Africa at 110 mph. Buffeted by the night wind, it feels as if we’re riding a motorbike.

I am with two South Africans and a guy from Silicon Valley. We’re all swilling from a bottle of so-called whisky, including the man behind the wheel. (When your taxi driver says his name is “Success,” things can’t possibly go wrong.)

Lagos, Nigeria seems like an unlikely place for Africa’s major tech hub. The city’s estimated population is 21 million people, and 30,000 more Africans are arriving every day.

Ten years ago, architect and author Rem Koolhaas co-wrote Mutation. After studying Nigeria’s biggest city, he says, “Lagos is not catching up with us; rather, we may be catching up with Lagos.” He may have been right.

It seems fanciful to equate Lagos with a 21st century New York, as Koolhaas does. For all intents and purposes, the city should not operate at all. Its chaos outstrips that of Cairo or New Delhi.

But within the insanity, a new type of region is emerging.

In a city gridlocked by traffic after 6 a.m. and rampant with crime, Lagos offers non-mobile Internet. Wi-Fi is gut-wrenchingly slow. But despite its weak infrastructure, it stands because of its innovative residents and their hunger to succeed in the most competitive of environments.

May’s Mobile Web West Africa sold out its Lagos conference, bringing together companies, startups, inspiring investors and developers. The three-day event was the background to the emerging economic and inspired power of the region, and Lagos’s aspiration to be the city at the center of that universe.

Across Victoria Island to the “mainland” and over the bridge my taxi crossed, the city’s Co Creation Hub (CcHub) is a collaborative work space for young entrepreneurs and coders. It’s close to the University of Lagos. Like similar spaces in Palo Alto, London, Berlin or Moscow, individuals converge in one space to share ideas. They even have the chance to meet VCs and angels looking for promising investments. It’s an amazing place.

But such meetup hubs compete with others around the continent. Nairobi has the iHub, a similar space, supported by companies like Google, Intel and Samsung. And the government recently announced plans for Konza Techno City — the finished project will reside 40 miles south of Nairobi, with aims to create 100,000 tech jobs by 2030.

Closer to Nigeria, the neighboring country of Ghana recently announced Hope City, a $ 10 billion hub in capital Accra that will see Africa’s tallest building emerge from shrubland. By 2016 Hope City will house 25,000 residents and will have created some 50,000 jobs.

Not to be outdone, South Africa has the JoziHub in Johannesburg, launched in February 2013, while Cape Town is attempting to brand itself as Silicon Cape by creating a non-profit, community-owned infrastructure that supports startups with capital and expertise.

Alas, Africa is replete with stories about great ambitions and grandiose projects that never see the light of day. Nigeria is no different.

Tinapa Resort, the planned shopping and commerce “paradise” in the Cross Rivers state, is a warning to all who believe that investment necessarily creates cities and jobs. More than $ 350 million was ploughed into the project, thought to boost business and tourism before it opened in 2007, based on a deep sea port in the city of Calabar, which did not exist or materialize. The resort gathered dust, becoming a ghost town — another African disaster.

That is, until the newly elected regional government announced the rehabilitation of Tinapa in the form of Tinapa Knowledge City, a private sector-driven investment to serve as an alternate ICT hub to Lagos.

The government, privately-owned Covenant University and oil company OANDO will create a campus and gas plant that will ultimately employ 10,000 people. Legendary Nigerian investor and influencer Harry Tomi Davies finds the new scheme one that costs a lot of money but is ultimately a burden, in other words, a “white elephant turned black by technology,” he says.

Time will tell whether Tinapa emerges as a phoenix rather than a pachyderm. But in Nigeria, there is a sense that anything is possible — especially in Lagos, where the infrastructural impediments to success are driving entrepreneurship.

Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg and Cape Town are all vying with Lagos to claim ownership of Last Frontier Africa, the continent of the 21st century.

Just ask my speeding taxi driver. He knows Success when he sees it.
