A New Chapter in the Academy

Demand  In the 1960’s amid controversy there grew a demand for African American or Black Studies.  The demand for African American studies grew from Black students.  As the Blacks were demanding more involvement in American government  The civil rights and social equality moved on.

 World War II saw a time when America...  New hopes and African American emerged  Civil rights organization like the NAACP renewed its efforts.  Brown vs. the Board of Education led the way to school desegregation on 5/17/54.  White protests grew intense.

 Rosa Parks remained in her seat.  This triggered a series of boycotts all across the nation.  On Feb. 1, students from North Carolina A&T seated themselves at a segregated lunch counter at Woolworth’s.  Despite being taunted the students sat passively.

 A number of organizations arose  SCLC  SNCC  CORE  These groups worked with grassroots organizations.  SNCC organized a local Black Panther Party in Lowdes County Alabama

 SNCC under Stokely Carmichael the group moved from integration to “independent Black politics, self-determination and economic self-sufficiency.”  Black Power was born.  This had an enormous effect on the masses of Black folk throughout the US.

 The Black Panthers were founded in Oakland Ca in 1966 and “adopted the name and symbol of the defunct SNCC Black Panther political party.”  Members  Original six Black Panthers (November, 1966) Top left to right: Elbert "Big Man" Howard; Huey P. Newton (Defense Minister), Sherman Forte, Bobby Seale (Chairman). Bottom: Reggie Forte and Little Bobby Hutton (Treasurer). panthers/pics/november-6.jpg

 The leaders of the various organizations realized that in order for Black Power to become a reality they would have to utilize education and technological resources.  The students looked toward college campuses for their role/complicity in the process. mexico-city-olympics-1968.jpg

 At many institutions students demanded a more inclusive curriculum to serve their needs and the needs of their communities.  Initially at San Francisco State white student activists were able to get money from a sizeable budget to fund programs such as tutorials for children of the inner city.

 White student programs along with the development of the BSU - Black Student Union lead to the initiation and growth of African American studies.  In December of 1967 under pressure by the BSU the Acting President of the college “virtually conceded a Black Studies Department” and appointed Dr. Nathan Hare to develop the curriculum.  However, the board of trustees stalled the program.

 The students then decided to strike and on November 6th “effectively closed the college.”  Many of the student body supported their decision and participated in the strike.  Finally at the end of 1968 San Francisco State College established a Black Studies Program.

Black Consciousness an Community Orientation Nathan Hare is the main proponent of this position. Strong connections Black Consciousness. Study lives and contributions Black have made.
