Hardback. Condizione: Good. 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.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Covering an era from the early twentieth century to the present, this volume features twenty-seven South Carolina women of varied backgrounds whose stories reflect the ever-widening array of activities and occupations in which women were engaged in a transformative era that included depression, world wars, and dramatic changes in the role of women. Some striking revelations emerge from these biographical portraits-in particular, the breadth of interracial cooperation between women in the decades preceding the civil rights movement and ways that women carved out diverse career opportunities, sometimes by breaking down formidable occupational barriers. Some women in the volume proceeded cautiously, working within the norms of their day to promote reform even as traditional ideas about race and gender held powerful sway. Others spoke out more directly and forcefully and demanded change.Most of the women featured in these essays were leaders within their respective communities and the state. Many of them, such as Wil Lou Gray, Hilla Sheriff, and Ruby Forsythe, dedicated themselves to improving the quality of education and health care for South Carolinians. Septima Clark, Alice Spearman Wright, Modjeska Simkins, and many others sought to improve conditions and obtain social justice for African Americans. Others, including Victoria Eslinger and Tootsie Holland, were devoted to the cause of women's rights. Louise Smith, Mary Elizabeth Massey, and Mary Blackwell Butler entered traditionally male-dominated fields, while Polly Woodham and Mary Jane Manigault created their own small businesses. A few, including Mary Gordon Ellis, Dolly Hamby, and Harriet Keyserling exercised political influence. Familiar figures like Jean Toal, current chief justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court, are included, but readers also learn about lesser-known women such as Julia and Alice Delk, sisters employed in the Charleston Naval Yard during World War II.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - William Henry Singleton's Recollections of My Slavery Days is a compelling account of a remarkable journey from slavery to freedom in the American South. Born a slave in 1843 in New Bern, North Carolina, Singleton grew up on a remote coastal plantation at Garbacon Creek. From a slave's viewpoint, his Recollections provides an intimate and moving portrait of the growing schism between North and South, of a fierce yearning to hold onto family while in bondage, and of the African American freedom struggle during slavery.The Civil War stands as a turning point in Singleton's narrative. In 1862 he escaped from a Confederate soldier and fled to freedom in Union-occupied New Bern. There he helped to recruit one of the first African American regiments in the Union army and subsequently served as a sergeant in the Thirty-fifth United States Colored Troops. Until the day he died, at a reunion for Civil War veterans in 1938, Singleton insisted that his wartime service pledged the United States to fulfil its promise of freedom and equality for all citizens.Originally published in a local newspaper in Peekskill, New York, Recollections of My Slavery Days is a rare, long forgotten account of American slavery that has not previously been available to a national audience. In this landmark edition, Katherine Mellen Charron and Davis S. Cecelski provide scholarly annotations and an introductory essay as critical background to understanding Singleton's narrative. Examining his life and times, they situate Recollections in the context of African American history and autobiography.…
