Annotated bibliography
- 1. William Spiegelberg Herold FYS 212 February 10 2016 Book: Bynum, Cornelius L. A. Philip Randolph and the Struggle for Civil Rights. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2010. Web. Summary: This book describes Philip Randolph’s fight for civil rights. Examining Randolph's work in lobbying for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, threatening to lead a march on Washington in 1941, and establishing the Fair Employment Practice Committee, Cornelius L. Bynum shows that Randolph's push for African American equality took place within a broader progressive program of industrial reform. Bynum interweaves biographical information on Randolph with details on how he gradually shifted his thinking about race and class, full citizenship rights, industrial organization, trade unionism, and civil rights protest throughout his activist career. Evaluation: Cornelius L. Bynum received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Virginia in 2004. He teaches courses in African American history and writes about progressive impulses among African Americans and authentic and independent strains of black radicalism in the early twentieth century. Website 1: http://blacklivesmatter.com/ Summary: This is the main website for the movement Black Lives Matter. This movement was created by Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Cullors after the 17- year-old Trayvon Martin was post-humously placed on trial for his own murder and the killer, George Zimmerman, was not held accountable for the crime he committed. Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise.
- 2. Evaluation: Both the site and the movement were started by Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Cullors. The site, however, does not list any qualifications for any of the three of them. Website 2: www.crmvet.org Summary: The following is a summary from the website itself: In building the CRMVet website, we adhere to three guiding principles: We make no pretense of academic "neutrality." We were freedom fighters and freedom riders, and most of us remain so. This is our website where we speak for ourselves in our own voices. Therefore, all substantive material regarding the Freedom Movement on the CRMVet site is from or by Movement veterans as opposed to reporters, book authors, academics, and other observers. This is not to disrespect authors, academics and others, but they have available to them many outlets and public venues for their work. So we want this, our website, to reflect our point of view. The Freedom Movement was broad-based and multi-faceted, encompassing a wide range of beliefs, analyses, stratagies, and tactics, all of which evolved and changed over time. Therefore, we do not censor, or politically-privilege material from some Movement veterans over others. The CRMVet website, as a website, does not attempt to sum-up or offer formal conclusions about the Movement. Instead, individual Movement veterans contributing signed pieces to the site do that from their own points of view. Neither do we pick and choose on any political basis which documents or other original materials to post. Our policy is to post all legible materials that we can acquire. In a sense then, we see CRMVet as an archive rather than an exhibit expressing a specific point of view. We cover the Southern Freedom Movement during the period 1951-1968. We restrict ourselves to the Movement as it existed in the South because it was the Southern wing of the Movement that we participated in and know enough about to build our website. We've always hoped that activists from the Northern wing of the Movement would build an equivalent sister site.
