In December 1972 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) denied a request of the black Congressmen of the Black Caucus (BC) that it order the television networks to make free prime time available for the BC to reply to social matters in the President's State of the Union message. The BC argued that they were entitled to time balance coverage given to the President, based upon; 1) The Constitution's requirement of a balance of separate powers; 2) the FCC's fairness doctrine; 3) the right to...

Libraries have a special obligation to provide educational opportunity to all segments of the population, especially the disadvantaged and minority groups. Libraries have made some progress in this mission, but it is important to organize to continue work. Libraries should seek systematic participation of schools in joint programs, encourage the use and development of multiethnic books and work to be more responsive to the needs of ethnic groups in their communities. Libraries are in a unique...

To investigate coverage by the "Washington Post Magazine" of Blacks--before, during, and after the 1986 protests of the magazine's perceived anti-black tone--a study examined copies of the "Post" magazine from May 4, 1986, to April 26, 1987. Both photographs and editorial texts were considered, and coding was done by race: White, Black, other or mixed. Within each category, subcoding was done to determine whether the item was positive, neutral or negative. The results were...

A year-and-a-half of ethnographic fieldwork in a primarily African-American neighborhood suggests that praxis and ethnographic methods can be stirred together to produce empowering literacy artifacts and discourse in the community. Originally a Marxist notion, praxis requires researchers to understand how people characterize their own situations within larger social and political contexts. In the present context, it also asks the researcher to put something back into the community he or she...

There is a great interest within the naval services in books on various aspects of the black experience in America. The great surge of intellectual energy directed to black history has caused the reprinting of a high percentage of the older books which had been out of print and unobtainable. The range of reading levels being satisfied is wide, with many recent books written for junior high and young adult readers. At the risk of oversimplifying and limiting a truly complicated historical...

Major social institutions repeatedly reinforce the deprivation of the urban disadvantaged. Libraries, as the "Universities of the People," must commit themselves to the promotion of a better standard of life for all people, especially the poor. A close look at priorities is especially important if libraries are to pursue their mission in a time of financial austerity. A library should be responsive to the needs of its particular community. A possible alternative to closing branch...

Though Dubois tried to begin a series of scientific studies on the Negro problem in America more than 70 years ago, only recently have attempts been made to present a true history of the Black man in institutions of higher learning. Until that time, the experience of the Black man was defined in Euro-American terms, or in most cases was completely ignored. In the last few years, "Operation Culturally Deprived," a series of interrelated activities grouped around the concept of the...

This study (the second of a 2-part project exploring the communication patterns of the elderly) examined whether the quantity and frequency of conversational talk affected how favorably an individual was viewed as a partner for activities within a small social network of elderly black persons. Subjects, 5 black women ranging in age from 65 to 78, participated in 2 videotaped free-style discussions and completed a sociogram that was developed to depict the order of choices the 5 subjects made in...

In this paper is discussed how educational research might be made relevant to the urban community. Ways in which the community can be involved in research projects so that they will come to understand the purpose of these projects are suggested. It is believed that "residents of the urban community are not anti-research. When the purposes and scope of the research are explained to them carefully and when they are given some opportunity to be involved in the conceptualization, data...

In his autobiography, Malcolm X wrote that he did not become fully literate until he went to prison in the 1940s. Literacy profoundly changed Malcolm's life--his progression from street talker, to spokesman for the Nation of Islam, to independent spokesman for human rights, is related to changes in his consciousness brought on by literacy. When he lived on the streets of New York, hustling for a living, Malcolm relied on oral communication. One scholar argues that part of the resistance to...

Although counseling literature addresses within-group diversity among racial/ethnic groups in this country, seldom do studies examine the interpersonal dynamics within communities where minorities have fostered interdependence, cooperation, and acceptance of diversity among themselves. This paper presents an overview of some critical factors which contribute to within-group diversity among racial/ethnic minorities and then discusses the means through which individuals facilitate and maintain...

The author of this paper argues that historically and traditionally black colleges must not be subjected to integration and mergers with white institutions because they would then be in danger of losing their black identity. There are 3 interrelated premises that support this point of view. (1) The black college by appropriately interpreting the black experience and by revealing and analyzing the impact of racism, can free both black and white America from the bondage of psychological taboos...

AIDS is the leading cause of death among African Americans age 25-44 years. About half of all new U.S. HIV cases are African Americans, though African Americans make up only 13 percent of the population. Most U.S. children living with HIV are African American. There exists a strong pattern of resistance and denial of the disease in the African American community. Since the black church remains the cornerstone of this community, it is uniquely positioned to significantly affect knowledge,...

Educators today may find a historical review of the Howard Players at Howard University (Washington, D.C.) in the 1920s important because of its implicit commentary on what constitutes community. While the Howard Players are generally written about in terms of the development of an African-American theater, historians ought also to think of their work as being linked to a national movement, that is community drama, as theorized and enacted by such figures as Percy Mackaye and W. E. B. DuBois....

Several researchers have shown that whites benefit from the presence of large numbers of blacks. This study attempts to determine the effect that the proportion of blacks in an area has upon both black and white poverty rates. Using standard correlation techniques, the basic relationships are examined for 92 Southern SMSA's (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas). The data used were taken from the 1970 U. S. Census Reports. Findings indicate that there is a negative relationship between the...

Research on black families in the United States consistently has neglected the black man. To investigate the relationship between marital status and life satisfaction among black men, 253 black adult men from a sociodemographically representative sample of central Florida were interviewed using the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale. Information on health, socioeconomic status (SES), age, and social participation was also gathered. An analysis of the results showed that married black men...

This week, we'll be digging into the Willie Lynch Letter and its effects on the Black Community. We'll be exploring how the letter not only set the pattern for slavery, but how it also still pollutes the community to this very day. In conjunction with the WIllie Lynch Letter, we'll also be discussing how the Democratic Party (aka the Hidden Plantation) has used some of the same tactics to mentally enslave the Black Community.
