In a famous passage, “The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity.” ( Frank Serpico BrainyQuotes) With the current events in the 30's era affecting the adults and children everyone came together to help one another. Children would wait outside A & P market to help shoppers carry home their groceries, men and women would pick up junk, sell paper and trash, and very few children would risk playing at the corner where the negro and white section joined on the South Side in Chicago. (“Chicago's Black Belt During the Great Migration” Whet Moser)
I choose “Elliott’s White Veneer” advertisement dated from 1935

Upon my analysis as I looked into the ad seeing the boys taking a chance to try a wood product on their skin, which may be hoping for their skin to be a semi or permanent fix from black to white. The advertisement implied that the African American children showed excitement when one child covers the others body. Through the sense of emotion, the children's facial expressions and body language described vulnerability and livelihood. The image shows their total willingness to give up their colored skin in favor of white skin, a clear reflection of the traditional racism of the mid 1930's and the belief of the culture that is white supremacy. Perhaps the worst element is the way they are laughing. They are happy to have rid themselves of their cursed dark skin, delighted at the fact that now they are white, no longer those unwanted blisters in a uniform society. So many aspects of these refer to patronizing and arrogance. This is an example of shame at rock-bottom, the best of the worst. (“Advertisement and Bias”

1051 wordsRead More - The media affects the way people view all different races as well, not only gender. One passage that stood out was when Omi exclaimed, “all racial minorities were represented as “less than human.”In the 1930 's African and white children were split into different schools. In this era white Americans disfavored against African-Americans because they did not have the same skin color. For this reason, African-Americans endured mistreatment and misunderstanding. This primarily affected African-American children because their education system was different from the white children. Negro schools had many restrictions such as reading being restricted and discarded to the libraries of the white community. Based on the attention to this advertisement through the view of the race, I read that African-American children were falsely described in the 1930’s because they lack a proper education system and they were not socially equal. Education affected the child’s self-esteem and self-worth “Education of the Negro Child” about sixty-five percent of African-American children lived life classified as retarded. Those children had trouble developing self-esteem and self-worth because the society around them saw them as uneducated and unintelligent. The concept of “veneer” means to cover something to improve its appearance. The advertisement implied that the African-American children showed excitement when one child covers

1433 wordsRead More - The Jim Crow Laws: Life Under The Jim Crow Lawsanalytical essayIt goes into strong detail to demonstrate just how imbalanced and harsh life was for blacks. Exemplifying this is the horrendously cruel game of “Nigger Knocking” where white kids would assault black pedestrians by throwing rocks or hitting them with car antennas. In addition, the case is made that every aspect of daily was perilous for blacks. According to the book even crossing the street, for example, was always a gamble since “many white motorists delighted in the ‘sport’ of chasing blacks onto the curbs with their cars.” The manner in which this quote is written shows some negative bias towards whites of the time by using the phrase “delighted in.” Moving on, the book heavily focuses on one of the best known parts of the Jim Crow era: segregation. While segregation was purportedly going to create an environment of separation with equal facilities and rights, the book makes a point of proving this was a complete farce. Schools, jobs, and utilities were always inferior for blacks, and the book pushes the notion that this was often intentional in order to keep blacks down. “Applying for a job … was often a humiliating experience” for black individuals, and any problem in the workplace was “blamed on the black workers.” Meanwhile, the white authorities that were supposed to provide equal schooling for blacks “did not believe that blacks should be educated at all.” Overall, this book is meant to give a general examination of the Jim Crow South, but the language used is not neutral. It argues strongly that whites maliciously undermined the equality and rights of

There are entire ghettos associated with housing only African-American individuals and cities are divided among racial lines. For example, our hometown of Chicago, the north serves as residence to the “whites” while the south end of the city home to “blacks”. There is a wide-spread belief that African-Americans are not as smart as the rest of the population, are in some way related to a criminal background, and/or do not care about their betterment in any way and are lazy. This is because, Mills argues, racial realists associate racial characteristics to the “peculiar” history of that race.

The idea that one person is inherently better than another because of the color of their skin has always been present from our founding to today. During the rise of the Civil Rights movement in the mid 1900’s, racism was repeatedly being dealt blows by those brave enough to stand up for the rights they felt belonged to citizens of all shapes and colors. One important event that led to progress for people of color was the desegregation of the schooling systems. From young girls walking into all-white schools to black men being selected to participate in different academies, the Civil Rights movement to desegregate schools was influential in how progress

1646 wordsRead More - Segregated Children in the United Statesanalytical essayFrom the 1880s to about the mid 1960s segregation had taken over American cities and towns. Segregation is the act of setting someone or something apart from other people or things. In America, African Americans were segregated from White people. Segregation was a result of the abolishment of slavery twenty-five years before. Whites still wanted to feel superior to the Blacks, and without slavery to chain them down, they decided to begin segregation by establishing Jim Crow laws. Jim Crow laws segregated Americans, by the color of their skin, in all public facilities: schools, restaurants, hospitals, schools, restrooms and more. The Whites had their own public facilities and Blacks had their own public facilities. However the facilities were not the same, the Blacks had very poor facilities compared to that of the Whites. The focus of this essay will be on two main areas where segregation took place, in education and in childhood and also the ways in which segregation affected African American children's lives and futures. Also being discussed is how the book American Tapestry, featuring stories of slavery, oppression and segregation of Michelle Obama's ancestors, along with her relationship to history and gender studies relates to the affects it had on the African American children of that time.

She uses her son’s personal experiences as well as typical stories of how blacks are misunderstood in order to educate the reader as to how black people eventually develop a self-identity based on the implications of society and the situations that surround them. This can be seen when she says, “The stereotypes, omissions, and distortions that reinforce notions of White superiority are breathed in by Black children as well as white” (para. 10). In this quote Tatum further examines what “Whiteness” means in the same context and explains that since American society associates White people to be the normality, they are not able to create a well-balanced self-identity without it being based off of racial

You can use the site specific google search on the Manuscripts Department website, or you can search the library catalog and limit the results to the Manuscripts Department. I chose to use the search engine on the Manuscripts Department webpage because it includes brief snippets from the results that allowed you to quickly look at some description and rule out the results that are totally irrelevant to your search without having to open each one individually. As you look at search results, you will notice that the results have names like papers and collections. This is because archival and manuscript materials are organized by provenance rather than subject. What this means is that materials are grouped together the way they were received. All of an organization’s, individual’s, or family’s papers will be grouped together and as much as possible they will be kept in the original order that the creator stored them in. This means that most collections have materials related to a wide range of subjects and gathering all the material on a particular topic or person requires looking at multiple collections.
