Slave Unrest In Arkansas, Carol Linville
Slave Unrest In Arkansas, Carol Linville
Honors Theses
Arkansas, unlike some slave holding states, was never the scene for actual mass uprisings or armed revolts by slaves. Actual acts of resistance and rumors of insurrections did occur in the state. The universal fear of insurrection that was present throughout the South also plagued the mind of the Arkansas slave owner. The fear was not new; since the beginning of slavery, the fear was present and as early as 1672, fear was expressed by the colonists of a slave uprising. Part of the fear was stemmed from conditions of slavery in Arkansas that were inducible to slave unrest.

The Struggle For Black Studies At Howard University, Johnnie L. Ware
The Struggle For Black Studies At Howard University, Johnnie L. Ware
Honors Theses
Booker T. Washington provided for the masses and their economic plight in his thinking, but neglected the cultural-political theory, and the creation of a black intelligentsia. W.E.B. DuBois, on the other hand, directed attention to the intelligentsia, and cultural-political theoretics, but, in his early and most famous approach, failed to provide sufficiently for the masses. Possibly as a consequence of historical circumstances - the location of most blacks of that day in the South and the irreconcilable mores of segregation - neither developed theoretics for invating white colleges.
this was left to the more recent years, when the early advocates …

Public School Desegregation In Virginia From 1954 To The Present, Adolph H. Grundman
Public School Desegregation In Virginia From 1954 To The Present, Adolph H. Grundman
Wayne State University Dissertations
This dissertation is an examination of the struggle to desegregate the public schools of Virginia from 1954 to 1972. The Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education attacked the social foundation of eleven southern states when it declared that racially segregated schools were "inherently unequal." Brown I,, in fact, was one of many controversial decisions made by the Supreme Court as it reflected the egalitarian spirit of the 1950's and 1960's. By 1970, however, a growing list of legal scholars questioned the wisdom and effectivemess of the Warren Court's judicial activism. My major objective was to trace the tortuous …
Slavery And Stratification, Lee Andrew Irving
Slavery And Stratification, Lee Andrew Irving
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
My own experience as an American have led to questions concerning stratification of Negroes by Whites and Negroes by Negroes. What, if any, is the history behind these social distinctions, based primarily on variables such as race and skin-color gradations?
Evidence as to achievements by people representing all races and skin-color gradations is more available today than say, during slavery, because of better opportunities for all citizens of this country to become informed vis the mass media. What is there in history that lends basis to these ridiculous myths based on race and skin-color gradations? Could the institution of slavery …

A Comparative Study Of The Intelligence Quotient Of The Negro, Patricia L. Greene
A Comparative Study Of The Intelligence Quotient Of The Negro, Patricia L. Greene
Honors Theses
Extending beyond health, white supremacists maintain that Negroes are innately less intelligent than Caucasians. In a statement remarkably comparable to those made two centuries ago by advocates of the theory of American degeneration, one modern-day racist phrases the claim in these words:
Any man with two eyes in his head can observe a Negro settlement in the Congo, can study the pure-blood African in his native habitat as he exists when left on his own resources, can compare this settlement with London or Paris, and can draw hos own conclusions regarding relative levels of character and intelligence.... Finally, he can …
Acceptance Of Negroes By White College Students As A Function Of College-Class Standing, Religious Conviction, And Race Of Experimenter, Harry James Hawks
Acceptance Of Negroes By White College Students As A Function Of College-Class Standing, Religious Conviction, And Race Of Experimenter, Harry James Hawks
All Master's Theses
The present study essentially had a threefold purpose: to determine what effect the amount of education, or more specifically the year in college, has on the tolerance of white students to Negroes; what effect the strength of religious conviction has on these attitudes; and what effect the race of the experimenter has on student response.

Dick Gregory, John Johnson
Dick Gregory, John Johnson
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The leaders of the Black movement in the United States generally seem to be skilled rhetoricians. These leaders seem to emulate the same oharaoteristics in the use of rhetoric as did the statesmen who engineered the American Revolution. One notable exception seems to be a young Black named Dick Gregory. He seems to have found a means of persuasion that is far removed from his colleagues. His weapon is wit, and combined with dedication and honesty it helps make his rhetoric one of the most persuasive and unusual of the Black spokesmen.
A Study Of The Attitude Of The Latter-Day Saint Church, In The Territory Of Utah, Toward Slavery As It Pertained To The Indian As Well As To The Negro From 1847 To 1865, Roldo V. Dutson
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to recognize the position of slavery as it pertained especially to the Negro in the Territory of Utah from 1847 to 1865, and the position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints toward Indian slavery found in those tribes living within the boundary of the Utah Territory. Negro slavery was accepted and tolerated by the Latter-day Saints even though there were but few Negroes in the Territory. These were brought in by a few southern Saints.

The Class Structure Of A Minority Group In A Valley City, Marcus Asie Williams
The Class Structure Of A Minority Group In A Valley City, Marcus Asie Williams
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
There is an accepted principle amongst sociologists that all communities have some pattern of stratification. Since the Valley City Negroes, the minority group selected for this research. represent a community structure, some pattern of stratification is present. At the time of this study the specific nature of the class structure tor this community had not been identified.
Statement of the problem. It was the purpose of this study (l) to delineate the social class structure of the Negro community of the Valley City metropolitan area in the year 1950~1951; (2) to show the relationships of membership in associations to class …

The Negro In California Before 1890, A. Odell Thurman
The Negro In California Before 1890, A. Odell Thurman
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Because so little has been written concerning the Negro in California and because the dynamic and romantic sequences in the development of this country have always interested me, I have become interested in knowing what part the Negro, free and slave, played in this panorama of events. Were there Negroes with early expeditions? To what extent did they migrate to the West when "gold fever" had become a nation-wide epidemic? Did they find gold? Where did they settle? What did they do? What difficulty did they encounter politically, socially, and economically? These are questions that have filled my mind, and …
A Critical Analysis Of Negro Character In The American Novel Of The South 1935-1940, Alice Veronica Johnson
A Critical Analysis Of Negro Character In The American Novel Of The South 1935-1940, Alice Veronica Johnson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
I have observed in reading novels by both white and Negro authors that only certain types of Negroes have been portrayed. The question kept rising in my mind, Why? Usually it is the highly colorful, sensational, immoral type that is shown to the exclusion of the self-respecting, decent living, ordinary, everyday Negro.
The Concept Of God In The Poetry Of The American Negro, Mary H. Jones Sr.
The Concept Of God In The Poetry Of The American Negro, Mary H. Jones Sr.
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
Many authors have written much about the Negro and religion. Those who know the black man in American readily concede that he is by nature a lover of God, and that this great innate belief manifests itself in his daily life. Books of deep and light reading- some written in prose, others in verse- have been produced by American Negro men and women. Many of their works have mirrored forth the concept of God in the mind of the Afro-American; but this concept has not remained the same- this great faith is at present suffering decay.

A Thesis On The Constitutional History Of The American Negro From 1776 To 1875, Clothilde Labat
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
In a democracy there should never have been an occasion whereby the enactment of a separate and distinct legislation was necessary for welfare of land and its people. Democratic principles as pronounced from the preamble of the constitution of the United States of America should have been the grounds sufficient for prohibiting the development of forces which eventually led to written end unwritten legislation for a cross section of the population.
