AHMIR’S POST:
African- Americans from the rural South did not migrate to the north voluntarily, but were pushed out of the south by certain factors. Also, choosing to move to the North was not a coincidence, but were pulled there by some factors as well.
The massive migration that occurred between 1916 to 1970 was primarily caused by the push factor such as convict leasing, segregation, disenfranchisement, and the widespread increase in racist ideologies that were making the lives of African- Americans unbearable. They were forced to move in large troops when Jim Crow introduced laws that kept the African Americans in an inferior position which denied them political rights even to air out their grievances. So they chose to move to the North, where racial segregation was not mandated even though racism was rampant.
Another factor that pushed the African-Americans out to the North was the lack of employment opportunities in the South. The poor economic conditions in the South made survival very difficult. The situation was made worse by the continuous failing of crops, limitation of sharing cropping on the farms, limited land for farming, and crop damage from the boll weevil. Also, the Jim Crow laws' social and racial oppression made possible meant that they could not even market their produce freely. The lynching of African Americans did also push them out in large numbers.
The main pull factor for the great migration of African Americans to the North was encouraging reports of reasonable wages and better living conditions in the North. These reports came from African soldiers who had returned from the war and were also reported in the African American newspapers. They were pulled by the economic opportunities found in the industrial cities, which mean ...

The Evolution of the African American Experience
America has come a long way regarding the acceptance of African Americans as true members of society. Though there is still a long way to go before complete social equality is achieved, the implementation of groundbreaking pro-integration legislation has created a much more tolerant environment for modern African Americans. Despite the suppression of African American freedoms via brutal acts of terrorism by the Ku Klux Klan, the Great Migration, the Brown v. Board of Education verdict, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 have proved substantial in creating a more balanced society for African Americans.
Originally formed in 1866- just one year after the abolition of slavery- the Ku Klux Klan’s primary goal as a terrorist organization was to deter African Americans from exercising their newly acquired rights as free people (especially voting rights). In order to achieve this, Klan members routinely terrorized African Americans as well as black sympathizers with various acts of violence- most notably lynching. Although lynching is among the most famous of their vile methods, they employed a variety of tactics ranging from “threats and intimidations to… killing” (Constructing the American Past 13) in an effort to preserve white supremacy. Perhaps the most striking truth about the Klan is that its members were really everyday citizens. As explained by Pierce Harper in an 1871 testimony of Ku Klux Klan victims, “you deal wit’ ‘em in de stores in de day time” (Constructing the American Past 7). Though the organization was banned in the late 1870s, it was later re-established in 1915, in part as a response to the Great Migration.
Lasting from 1900 to 1970, the Great Migration was a period of African American migration to the Northern US that was primarily inspired by the desire for industrial work, especially “steel mills, mines, construction, and meat-packing” (US History 549). During this period, approximately 6 million African Americans moved to the largely unfamiliar North, lowering the percentage of blacks in the South by around 37%. This rapid increase in the population of this somewhat foreign demographic did not bode well with the Northern whites. Aside from racially-motivated acts of violence and the re-emergence of the Ku Klux Klan, blacks were systematically sectioned off via a process known as redlining. In this process, certain areas were marked on the map as bad investments, and this was used as an excuse to “deny home loans to qualified buyers” (US History 550). The effects of this can still be felt today, as many cities in the North and Midwest are extremely segregated by race. However, despite the initial backlash from whites, the sudden convergence of different regional groups resulted in vast exchanges in culture throughout the African American community.
In addition to the Great Migration, the Supreme Court verdict in the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas case also fac.

Learning Activity #1Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arka.docxVinaOconner450
Learning Activity #1
Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arkansas. It was a family business that had not changed in 50 years. Having grown up in the business, Joe had never really investigated the strengths and weaknesses of his position as Vice President. His father was always the President and he and his older brother Jacob were the heirs. The business was in turmoil because his father’s health was precarious and he was forced to step down. Joe’s brother was expecting to step up to the role of Vice President but Joe knew that was a mistake. The business itself was being quickly eroded because of the sustainability issues facing the world. Joe could see this but not Jacob. Joe needed to have a long talk with Jacob to make him see reason. Either they worked together for the future or Joe would have to take the lead role.
TASK:
Prepare an outline of points for Joe to make in his discussion with his brother. Explain the role of the 21
st
century leader and why it differs from that of the 20
th
century leader. Make sure to reference your reading material to validate the points you make.

What

" makes the following statement: Managers promote stability while Leaders press for change, and only organizations that embrace both sides of the contradiction can thrive in turbulent times."
TASK:
After reading the background information below, explain what you think Dean Adams’ role should be in light of this quote; the leaders or the manager’s? Identify the two roles leader and manager. Be sure to include in your comments the different solutions that may result from a leader's perspective and that of the manager's perspective as well as where they overlap. Finally, suggest which role’s perspective is best for Adam and the organization and why.
Background: Studer International
At 7:30
a.m.,
Dean Adams hit the snooze alarm for the third time, but he knew he could never go back to sleep. Rubbing his eyes and shaking off a headache, Adams first checked his BlackBerry and read an urgent message from his boss, explaining that Sue Chan, chief security analyst, had resigned this morning and needed to be replaced immediately. Frustrated, Adams lumbered toward the shower, hoping it would energize him to face another day. After last night’s management meeting, which had ended after midnight, he was reeling from the news that his Wall Street employer, Studer International, was spiraling toward a financial meltdown.
Adams scratched his head and wondered, “How could one of the world’s largest insurance companies plummet from being the gold standard in the industry to one struggling for survival?” At the end of 2007, Studer had $100 billion in annual revenues, 65 million customers, and 96,000 employees in 130 countries. One year later and staggered by losses stemming from the credit crisis, Studer teetered on the brink of failure and was in need of emergency government assistance. .

Learning Activity #1Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arka.docxVinaOconner450
Learning Activity #1
Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arkansas. It was a family business that had not changed in 50 years. Having grown up in the business, Joe had never really investigated the strengths and weaknesses of his position as Vice President. His father was always the President and he and his older brother Jacob were the heirs. The business was in turmoil because his father’s health was precarious and he was forced to step down. Joe’s brother was expecting to step up to the role of Vice President but Joe knew that was a mistake. The business itself was being quickly eroded because of the sustainability issues facing the world. Joe could see this but not Jacob. Joe needed to have a long talk with Jacob to make him see reason. Either they worked together for the future or Joe would have to take the lead role.
TASK:
Prepare an outline of points for Joe to make in his discussion with his brother. Explain the role of the 21
st
century leader and why it differs from that of the 20
th
century leader. Make sure to reference your reading material to validate the points you make.
L
earning Activity 2:
John Kotter in his article “
What
Leaders Really D
o
" makes the following statement: Managers promote stability while Leaders press for change, and only organizations that embrace both sides of the contradiction can thrive in turbulent times."
TASK:
After reading the background information below, explain what you think Dean Adams’ role should be in light of this quote; the leaders or the manager’s? Identify the two roles leader and manager. Be sure to include in your comments the different solutions that may result from a leader's perspective and that of the manager's perspective as well as where they overlap. Finally, suggest which role’s perspective is best for Adam and the organization and why.
Background: Studer International
At 7:30
a.m.,
Dean Adams hit the snooze alarm for the third time, but he knew he could never go back to sleep. Rubbing his eyes and shaking off a headache, Adams first checked his BlackBerry and read an urgent message from his boss, explaining that Sue Chan, chief security analyst, had resigned this morning and needed to be replaced immediately. Frustrated, Adams lumbered toward the shower, hoping it would energize him to face another day. After last night’s management meeting, which had ended after midnight, he was reeling from the news that his Wall Street employer, Studer International, was spiraling toward a financial meltdown.
Adams scratched his head and wondered, “How could one of the world’s largest insurance companies plummet from being the gold standard in the industry to one struggling for survival?” At the end of 2007, Studer had $100 billion in annual revenues, 65 million customers, and 96,000 employees in 130 countries. One year later and staggered by losses stemming from the credit crisis, Studer teetered on the brink of failure and was in need of emergency government assistance. .

AHMIR’S POST:
African- Americans from the rural South did not migrate to the
north voluntarily, but were pushed out of the south by certain
factors. Also, choosing to move to the North was not a
coincidence, but were pulled there by some factors as well.
The massive migration that occurred between 1916 to 1970
was primarily caused by the push factor such as convict leasing,
segregation, disenfranchisement, and the widespread increase
in racist ideologies that were making the lives of African-
2. Americans unbearable. They were forced to move in large
troops when Jim Crow introduced laws that kept the African
Americans in an inferior position which denied them political
rights even to air out their grievances. So they chose to move to
the North, where racial segregation was not mandated even
though racism was rampant.
Another factor that pushed the African-Americans out to the
North was the lack of employment opportunities in the South.
The poor economic conditions in the South made survival very
difficult. The situation was made worse by the continuous
failing of crops, limitation of sharing cropping on the farms,
limited land for farming, and crop damage from the boll weevil.
Also, the Jim Crow laws' social and racial oppression made
possible meant that they could not even market their produce
freely. The lynching of African Americans did also push them
out in large numbers.
The main pull factor for the great migration of African
Americans to the North was encouraging reports of reasonable
wages and better living conditions in the North. These reports
came from African soldiers who had returned from the war and
were also reported in the African American newspapers. They
were pulled by the economic opportunities found in the
industrial cities, which meant better employment opportunities.
There were also reports of relative tolerance for blacks in
the North. The North had racism, but blacks enjoyed some
degree of freedom, including rights to votes, and segregation
was not allowed. The social acceptance in the North was the
main pull factor that drew the African Americans to migrate
from the South to the North.
The same pull and pull factors still apply today, especially
in minority groups. The African American community still
migrates, though not enormous, because of political and
economic reasons and racism. The African Americans still move
from white-dominated regions to more friendly neighborhoods.
Also, we see Africans trying to move to America for economic
reasons.

ALEXIS’S POST:
The NAACP is an organization that’s main focus is the ensure
the equality of all minorities and races in America. They work
to eliminate discrimination in all aspects and ultimately strive
for equality for all. After doing this week’s reading as well as
researching the topic a bit more, I was able to find a lot of
information about the NAACP that I did not know before. Some
sources claim the start date of the movement was in the 1950s,
however there are facts arguing that statement and show that
there have been countless occurrences of civil right activism
dated as far back to the early 1900s.
Charles Hamilton Houston was a NAACP activist in the early
1900s who challenged the supreme court in regards to school
segregation. “This fight for equality of educational opportunity
(was) an isolated struggle. All our struggles must tie in together
and support one another. . .We must remain on the alert and
push the struggle farther with all our might”(NAACP.org).
Another example of how the NAACP fought for civil rights was
by creating the Niagara Movement. The Niagara Movement was
for African Americans to gain the same freedoms for voting
rights as the white people. It challenged politic laws and
demanded voting rights to be given to all citizens regardless of
race or ethnicity. Lastly, another example of how the NAACP
fought for civil rights was their effort to pass a law to end
lynching. Lynching was a huge thing in that time period and it
caused much terror and pain throughout the country. “The
NAACP’s anti-lynching crusade became a central focus for the
group during its early decades. Ultimately, the NAACP was
4. unable to get a federal anti-lynching law passed; however, its
efforts increased public awareness of the issue and are thought
to have contributed to an eventual decline in
lynchings”(history.com).

Photograph of Maggie Lena Walker. In 1903, Walker became
the first Black woman to found a bank, the St. Luke Penny
Savings Bank in Richmond, Virginia. Walker learned financial
and business acumen when she joined the Independent Order of
St. Luke as a 14-year-old girl, an all-Black voluntary
association begun in Baltimore after the Civil War. The late
19th-early 20th century period is full of examples of African
Americans attempting to create their own institutions.
Introduction:
Week 4 of this course turns towards the early 20th century. This
time period is a fascinating one to cover due to the rapid
expansion of new organizations and cultural developments in
African American life. Over a span of three decades, major
organizations such as the National Association for Colored
Women's Clubs (1896), the National Negro Business League
(1900), the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (1909), the National Urban League (1910), the
Universal Negro Improvement Association (1914), the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (1925), and the National
5. Council of Negro Women (1935) were created and flourished.
These organizations were national in scope and worked on civil
rights, social welfare, business, labor rights, and community
organizing issues. They helped to provide an important
foundation and network for African Americans in the decades to
come.
At the same time, African Americans began migrating in large
numbers from former slave plantations to urban areas in the
South, Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast. The migration was
spurred in part by the threat of racial violence, but the promise
of jobs that paid better wages and the possibility of owning land
drew them away as well. By the 1920s and 1930s, this migration
led to the development of new Black communities in cities such
as New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Detroit. It also led to
what Howard University professor Alain Locke called the New
Negro Movement in which hundreds of plays, literature,
artwork, music, fashion and other creative forms of expression
were produced. The most visible manifestation of this
movement was known as the Harlem Renaissance, but it should
be noted that cities such as Chicago and Washington, DC
experienced their own "Negro Renaissance" cultures.
This week's resources provide a broad introduction to some of
these themes. Your instructor will advise you as to which
resources are required for this week. Please note that the
description of the course resources in some places may refer to
"your paper." This is not applicable in this course unless your
instructor specifically states otherwise.

double-spaced, numbered, include 1-inch margins, use 12 point
Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman font.
Your essay must include a Works Cited page. The citation style
of the Works Cited page may be either Chicago, APA, or MLA.
The selected citations must be appropriate to the exam topic and
the citations must support the assertions made in the exam.
Your essay should also include either in-text citations or
footnotes depending upon the formatting style selected
(Chicago, APA, or MLA).
Your essay will include three main parts—the
Thesis/Introduction, Argument, and Conclusion.
The Introduction section should clearly state the thesis within
the first 1-2 paragraphs. The thesis must be relevant and
appropriate to the argument and demonstrate an accurate and
complete understanding of the question. This section should
make it clear which question you are answering, but it should
do more than restate the question by offering a brief response
and it should be free of grammar and spelling errors.
The Argument section (3-4 pages) should incorporate pertinent
details from the assigned readings but you may also use outside
readings. The section must provide relevant historical evidence
to support the thesis and the key claims made in the argument as
needed. It should maintain focus and avoid sidetracking. It
9. should present your answer to the question clearly and concisely
in an organized manner and it should be free of grammar and
spelling errors.
The Conclusion section should be in the last part of your essay
exam within the last 1-2 paragraphs. It should briefly restate the
thesis and summarize the main points of the argument. It should
also demonstrate insight and understanding regarding the
question asked and it should be free of grammar and spelling
errors.
A scoring rubric for the essay portion is included below. Please
answer one of the following essay questions:
1. Often when reading texts on the history of North American
slavery, a number of generalizations are made to condense the
experiences of enslaved Africans and African Americans.
However, it is important to note that there were variations and
that there was not just one experience. A variety of factors
could and did create different experiences for the enslaved. Two
factors are gender and location. In this essay, discuss how
gender and location created different experiences for the
enslaved. For location, be sure to go beyond the generalizations
of North and South. In addition to these factors, select one
additional factor of your own choosing to analyze. In total, your
essay should address THREE factors: gender, location, and a
factor that you select on your own.
2. Historian David Levering Lewis coined the term "civil rights
by copyright" to analyze the ways in which black writers of the
Harlem Renaissance era (1919 – 1940) used their pens (both
consciously and unconsciously) to challenge racial inequality.
Though Lewis focuses on writers, one can also extend this idea
of “civil rights by copyright” to other other artists of his period,
including musical and visual artists. As a whole, the works of
these artists reflected varying strategies for advocating for the
advancement of blacks in American society. Select three
African American artists of the Harlem Renaissance era and
discuss how their artistic work combated American racism. At
least one of the artists selected should be a writer.
10. 3. Movement is an important and enduring theme in the study of
African American history. Black migration and immigration,
both voluntarily and involuntarily, have shaped not only the
African American community but the entire nation in
transformative ways. Beginning with the Middle Passage and
extending your analysis to the Great Migration, discuss how
black migration and immigration have shaped African American
history. In addition to the Middle Passage and the Great
Migration, identify at least one other period in American history
covered during Weeks 1 to 4 in this course that is characterized
by an important shift in the migration and/or immigration of
people of African descent.
