Download or read book The Williamston Freedom Movement written by Amanda Hilliard Smith and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summer of 1963 civil rights movements were taking place all over the South. In northeastern North Carolina the struggle for freedom focused on the small town of Williamston, where a legacy of voting rights advocacy and a history of violence caught the attention of Martin Luther King, Jr., and his Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The Massachusetts chapter of the SCLC sent fifteen white ministers to Williamston in November in an attempt to increase media coverage. Just as the movement was gaining traction, John F. Kennedy was assassinated and the nation lost interest in Williamston. So far the Williamston Freedom Movement has remained little known, though its impact was significant locally. This book details the events and those who participated, and includes 19 interviews with members of both the black and white community. By studying local movements, historians can better understand how ordinary people contributed to the Civil Rights Movement.

Download or read book The Waterman's Song written by David S. Cecelski and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major study of slavery in the maritime South, The Waterman's Song chronicles the world of slave and free black fishermen, pilots, rivermen, sailors, ferrymen, and other laborers who, from the colonial era through Reconstruction, plied the vast inland waters of North Carolina from the Outer Banks to the upper reaches of tidewater rivers. Demonstrating the vitality and significance of this local African American maritime culture, David Cecelski also reveals its connections to the Afro-Caribbean, the relatively egalitarian work culture of seafaring men who visited nearby ports, and the revolutionary political tides that coursed throughout the black Atlantic. Black maritime laborers played an essential role in local abolitionist activity, slave insurrections, and other antislavery activism. They also boatlifted thousands of slaves to freedom during the Civil War. But most important, Cecelski says, they carried an insurgent, democratic vision born in the maritime districts of the slave South into the political maelstrom of the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Download or read book Louis Austin and the Carolina Times written by Jerry Gershenhorn and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis Austin (1898–1971) came of age at the nadir of the Jim Crow era and became a transformative leader of the long black freedom struggle in North Carolina. From 1927 to 1971, he published and edited the Carolina Times, the preeminent black newspaper in the state. He used the power of the press to voice the anger of black Carolinians, and to turn that anger into action in a forty-year crusade for freedom. In this biography, Jerry Gershenhorn chronicles Austin's career as a journalist and activist, highlighting his work during the Great Depression, World War II, and the postwar civil rights movement. Austin helped pioneer radical tactics during the Depression, including antisegregation lawsuits, boycotts of segregated movie theaters and white-owned stores that refused to hire black workers, and African American voting rights campaigns based on political participation in the Democratic Party. In examining Austin's life, Gershenhorn narrates the story of the long black freedom struggle in North Carolina from a new vantage point, shedding new light on the vitality of black protest and the black press in the twentieth century.

This book was released on 2015-11-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is more important that independence should be an accomplished fact, than that the particular manor set of men who first decided to sever their relations with Great Britain should be discovered, yet in the interests of history, this volume, containing much that is new in support of the Mecklenburg Declaration and much that has been heretofore presented in .an inconvenient form through newspaper and magazine articles and historical works, I compiled in a convenient form and arranged in such a manner that the reader is able to consult in chronological order the events connected with the convention in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, which gave to the world an example of patriotic daring hardly if ever equaled in the deliberations of freemen seeking a more open road to liberty. In addition to the mass of proof which has been compiled for the purpose of settling the question of the actual contents of the Mecklenburg Declaration, and the fact, and the date of its passage, the author has collected much interesting historical matter relating to the lives of the men who signed this interesting and spirited document thirteen months before the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. The portion of the volume devoted to the lives of the signers is important in giving us additional light upon the times in which these hardy pioneers of Freedom lived, and in settling their portion in the work of independence which was destined to become universal in 1776.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina's Priority in the Demand for a Declaration of Independence The ministry therefore no sooner asserted the constitutional authority Of Parliament to levy taxes on the colonists, than the people Of North Carolina denied it. Their contest, however, before the outbreak of hostilities was for constitutional govern ment within the British Empire, though a few far-sighted leaders soon began to think Of independence as possibly the ultimate solution Of their political troubles with the mother country. Among the leaders Of North Carolina who foresaw it, first place must be assigned to William Hooper. On April 26, 17 74, in a letter to James Iredell, Hooper made this remarkable forecast of the political tendencies Of the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a region at once representative and unique in the history of Southern culture, which was from its earliest colonial beginnings a focus of strength, intellect, and proud individuality. Warren County, North Carolina, heart of the Roanoke Region, early built for grace and vigor. It bred people who were great in the affairs of the state and the nation. Resolutely it fought for freedom from England, was a harbor of antebellum grace and vigor, sent its sons into the forefront of Civil War battles, weathered Reconstruction's woes, and strove to sustain its ancient tradition of greatness while keeping step with modernity in the world. Here are remembered the beginnings in a primitive wilderness, the pioneer region that grew into a rich empire of luxury and intellectualism, the county that weathered disasters and won deserved rewards. The events of its life as a locality, with the men and women who created those events, are here retold. Warren County's special record of mannered culture and robust folkways, its parade of hunters, builders, scholars, statesmen, soldiers, belles and beaux, wits and merrymakers, its progress and change as noted in five different centuries, are set forth from authentic sources.
