21. Community Organization Courageous action by civil rights workers inspired New Left community organizing Inspired by their experience with the civil rights, women s, New Left, http://www.sonoma.edu/sociology/dwalls/commun.html

Power to the People: Twenty Years of Community Organizing Adapted from The Workbook Inspired by their experience with the civil rights, women's, New Left, and labor movements, Heather Booth and Steve Max founded the Midwest Academy in Chicago in 1973 and later the associated Citizen Action network. Citizen Action affiliates include both statewide membership organizations with local chapters (like Massachusetts Fair Share) and statewide coalitions of labor, citizen, farm, and senior organizations (like Ohio Public Interest Campaign). All have used the door-to-door canvass model to recruit members and raise money. Citizen Action has done extensive electoral work in support of Democratic candidates, and currently makes national health insurance a priority campaign. The distinction between social movements and community organizations is increasingly blurred. An interesting emerging hybrid is Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N), founded by Fred Ross, Jr., who adapted his father's house meeting model to rally progressives in the 1980s to oppose U.S. intervention in Nicaragua and El Salvador. Over the past year N2N has shifted its primary focus to the national campaign for a Canadian-style single-payer health plan. In another innovative effort, the Peace Development Fund blends the role of foundation and training center by providing small grants, technical assistance, and leadership development to grassroots peace and social justice organizations across the country. Similarly, on a local or regional level, the Funding Exchange network of progressive community foundations bring together activists working on diverse issues through community advisory boards.

WFU News Service QuickFind . . . WFU Home WFU News WFU Sociology class returns from journey through Deep South By Cheryl Walker August 11, 2003 Davonda Burton at a civil rights site in Atlanta. This summer, while following the paths of civil rights history through the Deep South, Wake Forest University sociology students explored present-day social inequalities. The class, Social Stratification in the American Deep South, was designed by Earl Smith, chairman of the sociology department at Wake Forest, and Angela Hattery, associate professor of sociology, to help students better understand social, economic and political issues in the South. For more details about the trip, including photographs and journal entries from students, see the class Web site The bus was a high-tech rolling classroom with a full complement of audio-visual equipment and a horseshoe-shaped seating area set up for seminars on the go. Using civil rights sites as a roadmap, the class stopped in Birmingham, Ala., to visit the 16th Street Baptist Church. While there, the students met with several Birmingham residents who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The bus also stopped at Selma and Tuskegee. Then the students crossed into Mississippi making stops in Hattiesburg, Greenwood, Clarksdale and a handful of other places.

Sociology 432: Social Movements Final exam study questions (2001) (updated May 15, 2001) One essay and nine short essay questions will be randomly selected from the following questions. The essays have no right or wrong answer. You need to show that you can take a clear position, support it with as many facts and case studies as possible, and acknowledge exceptions to your argument. The short essays are more specific, but they also are designed to test how well you can put together specific evidence with the more general sociological patterns. Essay questions SKIP #1, used in midterm Take a position on whether social movements need to adopt tactics that are more (or less) confrontational/militant/violent in order to be successful. What are the advantages and disadvantages of increasing militancy? Consider all the possible targets of social movements and how they might be affected by increasing militance. Support your position with specific examples from the gay rights movement and other movements we have studied. Acknowledge counter-evidence and exceptions to your main position when necessary. Over the semester we have evaluated many relationships between pairs of characteristics of social movements. For example, beyond the relationship between tactics and success (#2 above) we have investigated hypotheses such as:

What is the level of individual members' commitment to them? When community membership is pivoted on subscribing or unsubscribing to a newsgroup or bulletin board, is the form of interaction different because people can opt out of virtual community with little consequence? B . What do we mean by community and by extension what do we mean by community as structured by new technologies?. Is community sited in conversation and interaction? and if this is so what are the results for our longterm conceptions of community whether conversation and interaction occurs in face-to-face settings, by email or through the world wide web? C. Does the Net increase community diversity? D Are online communities "real" communities? E . If a specific category of people, for example, human rights activists use the Internet to communicate their message and ideas, how may they be said to act in some sense collectively to impart ideas, disseminate on areas of mutual concern and achieve structured goals?

CENTER FOR NONVIOLENT SOCIAL CHANGE Martin Luther King, Jr. A LIFE Tribute I Have A Dream (Speech Text) ... Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site Noteworthy People Martin Luther King, Jr. Visit the Amazon.com Best Selling Books List King, Martin Luther, Jr. (1929-1968), was an American clergyman, Nobel Prize winner, one of the leaders of the American civil rights movement, and an advocate of nonviolent protest. King's challenges to segregation and racial discrimination in the 1950s and 1960s helped convince many white Americans to support the cause of civil rights in the United States. After his assassination in 1968, King became a symbol of protest in the struggle for racial justice. Martin Luther King, Jr. attended segregated public schools in Atlanta, Ga. and he excelled as a student. He entered Morehouse College at the age of 15 and graduated with a bachelor's degree in sociology in 1948. After graduating with honors from Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania in 1951, he went to Boston University where he earned a doctoral degree in systematic theology in 1955. King's public-speaking abilities-which would become renowned as his stature grew in the civil rights movement-developed slowly during his collegiate years. He won a second-place prize in a speech contest while an undergraduate at Morehouse, but received Cs in two public-speaking courses in his first year at Crozer. By the end of his third year at Crozer, however, professors were praising King for the impression he made in public speeches and discussions.

Hear more about the school closings in Farmville, Va. 'The Means to Achieve Our Education Were...Taken Away' Celeste Wiley Fort Washington, Pennsylvania I remember the last day of school in 1959. I had achieved excellent grades, and my report card read, "recommended to the third grade." Little did I know then that I would never return to Mary E. Branch Elementary School in Farmville, Virginia. Perhaps the point of no return had already begun about eight years earlier. In April 1951, the students of Robert R. Moton High School led a strike to bring attention to the deplorable school conditions black students had to endure. The two-week strike became the Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County case in which the Moton High School students sought to have the "equal" in the "separate but equal" clause realized in their school. School conditions for black students were certainly not equal to conditions for the whites. Although the Moton students lost their case in the lower courts, the Davis case was one of the five cases that would be Brown v. Board of Education
