SUMMARY:December Forum: Opposition to the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:‘Researching the Opposition to the Civil Rights Movement’\n\n\n\nThis is an online Vaughan Forum. \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Bradley Phipps \n\n\n\n15 Nov 1960\, New Orleans\, Louisiana\, USA — At a meeting of the White Citizens Council of Greater New Orleans – a body formed in opposition to the idea of school desegregation – some members stand\, wave Confederate flags and one holds a sign threatening the Federal judge\, school board president\, and mayor with deportation to Cuba. — Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS\n\n\n\nThe US civil rights movement has been the focus of a good deal of historical inquiry. Less-studied\, however\, has been the ‘Massive Resistance’ to the movement\, which sought to thwart racial integration and prevent civil rights for African Americans. \n\n\n\nThis talk will reflect on researching the opposition to the civil rights movement. Amongst these are the difficulty of establishing the facts about the often-secretive activities of segregationists who wanted Black and white Americans to remain separate; the limited sources available; and the reticence of segregationists to give interviews or provide material to those studying this aspect of history. Despite its challenges\, researching this part of history is important\, not only to provide important context to studies of the civil rights movement\, but also because the legacy of the racist opposition to the civil rights movement continues to shape American politics today. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the presenter \n\n\n\nBradley Phipps is a historian of the modern United States\, focusing on backlash politics and the opposition to the civil rights movement. He completed his PhD at the University of Leicester\, and is now a Researcher at the Learning and Work Institute\, working on research projects related to education\, skills\, and employment. \n\n\n\nAbout the Vaughan Forum \n\n\n\nThe Vaughan Forum is series of talks\, discussions and workshops which are open to anyone who is curious and wants to find out more. \n\n\n\nThemes for sessions relate to our core teaching topics\, arts\, humanities\, social sciences and counselling\, and also discuss adult education and co-operative issues. \n\n\n\nGet your free ticket \n\n\n\nThis is a online event.
