Eudora Welty drew inspiration for her novels and short stories from her upbringing in Mississippi and her work with the WPA documenting conditions during the Depression. Some of her most famous works include A Worn Path, The Optimist's Daughter, and The Ponder Heart. These stories centered around African American characters and those struggling with loss and coming to terms with the past. Welty's empathetic portrayals of human experience made her one of the most renowned American authors.
Fox news students celebrate black inventors
Students at a black history event at the Kent Branch Library in Toledo, Ohio performed monologues as famous black inventors to spark lasting interest in black history and prove it's about more than oppression. Organizers wanted to show kids that depriving them of their cultural contributions doesn't make sense and doesn't allow kids to feel proud. Participants said learning about black inventors gives them motivation to make their own black history in the future.
Nurturing Engagement
The document discusses how the Dallas Museum of Art is changing its approach to promote more participation and engagement from community members. It notes that while the metro Dallas area has over 6.5 million residents, the museum only attracts around 500,000 annual visitors. To address this, the museum has implemented a "badges" program to encourage new forms of visitor participation and engagement through activities. It also listens to social media to understand online engagement and use that as a mirror to the community. The goal is for the museum to become a more integral civic platform for the community.
Caroline, or Change Outreach Presentation
The document provides information about the play "Caroline, or Change" being performed at the historic Civic Theatre in New Orleans. The theatre, built in 1906, recently renovated and reopened in 2013 with state-of-the-art technology and can seat almost 700 people. New Orleans was chosen as the location both for its demographic fit and because setting the play in the South grounds the intimate story about race relations in its historical context. The play was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning Tony Kushner with music by award-winning composer Jeanine Tesori.

Human Rights and Sexual Orientation
Homosexuality is illegal in thirty-eight African countries. Studies show that ninety-six percent of Ugandan citizens do not feel homosexuality should be tolerated.1 During an interview in 2014, President Yoweri Museveni, commented that “that gay people are ‘disgusting’ ” and that “the West should not force its beliefs onto Ugandans.” (Landau)
While many Africans may not support gay-rights, these statistics do not describe the entire African population. Though she may represent a minority view, activist Zanele Muholi strives to foster tolerance and understanding through her photography.
Zanele was raised in South Africa during the 1970’s and the 1980’s. Her father died several months after her birth in 1972. Her mother passed away from liver cancer when she was thirty-seven years old. Zanele does not know many details of her early childhood, including stories about her birth or her father’s death.
During 1991, South Africa was filled with political strife. Apartheid was unravelling and protests were rampant. Even though her mother accepted her sexuality, Zanele felt uncomfortable staying in Umlazi. She moved to Johannesburg, where she worked as a hairdresser and was rejected twice from film school.
1- Thirty-eight African countries have made homosexuality illegal. Most sodomy laws there were introduced during colonialism…. A 2013 report from Pew Research found that 96% of Ugandans believe society should not accept homosexuality. (Landau)
In 1996, South Africa passed legislation prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. Ten years later, it was first African country to legalize gay marriage. Yet, South Africa was not a “safe” place for the LGBT community. One report estimated that “each year, 500 lesbians in South Africa are victims of a form of sexual assault known as “corrective rape,” intended to “fix” them of their nonconforming sexual orientation.” (Wortham)
Around this time, Zanele was accepted into a photography program in Johannesburg. She studied the work of American photographer, Nan Goldin. She developed a unique brand of photography that documented experiences of African lesbians. Zanele strived to “honour [sic] the body’s beauty” by allowing people to “look at the subjects as dignified people.” (Vervatidis) At the same time, she hoped to “undo the damage of growing up in a society that drew its strength from demonizing blackness.” (Wortham)
While her work was often considered controversial in Africa, Zanele’s work gained international recognition. Her artwork has been displayed in art galleries throughout the world and through various sources on the Internet. This imagery has spurred discussion of several social issues including gender roles, sexuality, intimacy, and humanity:
Her work from this time is startling in its intimacy: close-ups of women kissing, in nude

The film tells the autobiographical story of Oscar Torres, who was forced to join the Salvadoran army as a child during the country's civil war in the 1980s. The teacher, Lucy Pagoada, worked with the film's screenwriter Torres to organize a screening of the film for her students. Torres attended to answer students' questions. The screening helped bring to life the realities of war and human rights abuses for the students in a way that engaged their interest. The principal supported using the film despite

CHAPTER THREE
Race and the Social Construction of Whiteness
In Gregory Howard Williams’s extraordinary memoir, Life on the Color Line: The True Story
of a White Boy Who Discovered He Was Black, Williams offers a powerful account of race in
America. Williams was born in the southern United States and raised until ten years of age as
white, the child of a white mother and supposedly white father. Williams grew up thinking his
father’s “deeply tanned” skin, “heavy lips and dark brown eyes” came from his Italian
heritage.1
At around nine years of age, Williams’s family’s fortune took a turn for the worse. They lost
their restaurant and with it, their income. At this point, Williams’s mother left his alcoholic and
physically abusive father. She took the two youngest children with her and abandoned the two
older children, Williams and his brother, Mike. Williams and his brother traveled with his
father to the northern town of Muncie, Indiana, to live with his father’s family, ostensibly until
they got on their feet again. As they traveled, Williams’s father, James A. “Buster” Williams,
stunned his two sons. He confessed to Gregory, nicknamed “Billy,” and Mike that he was
actually a Black man, and thus, that they were Black, too. “Remember Miss Sallie who used to
work for us in the tavern?” Williams’s father asked them about a Black woman who had
worked with the family in the restaurant and bar they had owned and lost in the early 1950s,
the Open House Cafe.2
“It’s hard to tell you boys this.” He paused, then slowly added, “But she’s really my momma. That means she’s your
grandmother.”
“But that can’t be, Dad! She’s colored!” I whispered, lest I be overheard by the other white passengers on the bus.
“That’s right, Billy,” he continued. “She’s colored. That makes you part colored, too.”3
Buster Williams tells his sons that they are “part colored,” but as Williams finds out when he
is suddenly transformed into a Black boy growing up in Muncie, Indiana, there is no “part
colored” or, for that matter, part white, at least not in the 1950s in the United States. A person
is one or the other, Black or white, and these categories are understood to be opposites. They
are opposing sides of a false binary. People of color are on one side, and white people on the
other. Each side, our society tells us, has its own characteristics, traits that exist in opposition
to the other side of the binary.
Of course, in reality there is no such thing as a human binary. Human beings are human
beings, each with the human capacity for myriad abilities, characteristics, and faults. With
gender, men are not the opposite of women. Men and women do not each contain one half of all
human characteristics, opposing each other. And with race, people of color are not one type of
human completely distinct from the other, white type. However, even though our biology does
not determine our r ...

CHAPTER THREE
Race and the Social Construction of Whiteness
In Gregory Howard Williams’s extraordinary memoir, Life on the Color Line: The True Story
of a White Boy Who Discovered He Was Black, Williams offers a powerful account of race in
America. Williams was born in the southern United States and raised until ten years of age as
white, the child of a white mother and supposedly white father. Williams grew up thinking his
father’s “deeply tanned” skin, “heavy lips and dark brown eyes” came from his Italian
heritage.1
At around nine years of age, Williams’s family’s fortune took a turn for the worse. They lost
their restaurant and with it, their income. At this point, Williams’s mother left his alcoholic and
physically abusive father. She took the two youngest children with her and abandoned the two
older children, Williams and his brother, Mike. Williams and his brother traveled with his
father to the northern town of Muncie, Indiana, to live with his father’s family, ostensibly until
they got on their feet again. As they traveled, Williams’s father, James A. “Buster” Williams,
stunned his two sons. He confessed to Gregory, nicknamed “Billy,” and Mike that he was
actually a Black man, and thus, that they were Black, too. “Remember Miss Sallie who used to
work for us in the tavern?” Williams’s father asked them about a Black woman who had
worked with the family in the restaurant and bar they had owned and lost in the early 1950s,
the Open House Cafe.2
“It’s hard to tell you boys this.” He paused, then slowly added, “But she’s really my momma. That means she’s your
grandmother.”
“But that can’t be, Dad! She’s colored!” I whispered, lest I be overheard by the other white passengers on the bus.
“That’s right, Billy,” he continued. “She’s colored. That makes you part colored, too.”3
Buster Williams tells his sons that they are “part colored,” but as Williams finds out when he
is suddenly transformed into a Black boy growing up in Muncie, Indiana, there is no “part
colored” or, for that matter, part white, at least not in the 1950s in the United States. A person
is one or the other, Black or white, and these categories are understood to be opposites. They
are opposing sides of a false binary. People of color are on one side, and white people on the
other. Each side, our society tells us, has its own characteristics, traits that exist in opposition
to the other side of the binary.
Of course, in reality there is no such thing as a human binary. Human beings are human
beings, each with the human capacity for myriad abilities, characteristics, and faults. With
gender, men are not the opposite of women. Men and women do not each contain one half of all
human characteristics, opposing each other. And with race, people of color are not one type of
human completely distinct from the other, white type. However, even though our biology does
not determine our r ...

Black History Month Essay
Black History Month 2012
- National African American History Month originated in 1915 when historian Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History to promote the study of black history.
- Woodson initiated the first Negro History Week in February 1926, choosing the week that included the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.
- In 1976, the commemoration was expanded to Black History Month, also known as African American History Month, and U.S. presidents have issued annual proclamations honoring it since.
American History X Thesis
The document discusses three important figures in modern American history - Benjamin Franklin, Alan Greenspan, and Martin Luther King Jr. - and their significant contributions in the realms of politics, economics, and civil rights, respectively. Benjamin Franklin played a pivotal role in the founding of the United States through his political involvement and literary works, while Alan Greenspan had immense influence over the U.S. economy through his leadership of the Federal Reserve. Martin Luther King Jr. was a transformative civil rights leader who advocated for racial equality and justice through nonviolent protest.

Share | BLACK HISTORY MONTH POSTED BYO EIZ N THURSDAY, 19 JANUARY, 2012, 7:14 AM Published February 02, 2012| Associated Press P r i n t E m a i l S h a r e C o m m e n t s Tweet inShare0 Text Size WASHINGTON – Author and activist Maya Angelou hopes for a time when Black History Month will no longer be needed to explain the contributions of African-Americans. "We want to reach a time when there won't be Black History Month, when black history will be so integrated into American history that we study it along with every other history," she said in an interview from her home in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Wednesday. "That's the hope, and we have to continue to work until that is true, until that becomes a fact." Angelou is hosting an hour-long syndicated radio special on the civil rights era that will air throughout this month on about 200 public radio stations across the country. Her special features Grammy award-winning singer Mary J. Blige, Democratic Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young, economist and Bennett College President Julianne Malveaux, and professor Nikky Finney, winner of the 2011 National Book Award for poetry. "Our work still remains and we have to do the best we can do," she said. "The young people have a charge to keep, they have responsibility and some don't know that, or maybe some have heard it but don't recognize it." The program details Lewis' work as a Freedom Rider, Finney's tribute to late civil rights activist Rosa Parks, Young's rise from small-town pastor to ambassador and Malveaux's involvement with the Black Panther movement in her youth. The work and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. are also discussed in detail. Angelou, who vocally denounced a truncated inscription of a King quote at his new memorial in Washington as taking the slain leader's words out of context, said she was pleased to hear it will be changed by the National Park Service. "The artists — the sculptor and the architect — had the right to put on their work what they wanted
