Visualizing equality : African American rights and visual culture in the nineteenth century / by Gonzalez, Aston,1986-author.(CARDINAL)853026;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Visualizing equality ... analyz[es] how previously unexamined or understudied African American artists shaped conceptions of race during the nineteenth century. Marshaling material from 26 private and public archives in the United States and England, Gonzalez charts the changing roles of African American visual artists as they used their work to expand black rights in the United States. Understudied or forgotten artists such as Robert Douglass Jr., Patrick Henry Reason, James P. Ball, and Augustus Washington produced images to persuade viewers of the necessity for black social equality, political enfranchisement, and freedom from slavery, and Gonzalez argues that these cultural producers helped to make the world they envisioned through their art"--Introduction: Pictured appeals, social reformers -- Graphic exchanges: Robert Douglass Jr.'s activism in Philadelphia -- Picturing black fugitivity and respectability in New York City -- Compositions of no ordinary merit and the struggle for black rights -- Spectacular activism: black abolitionists and their moving panoramas -- The optics of Liberian emigration -- Freedom and citizenship: conflicting views of wartime -- Religion, rights, and the promises of Reconstruction -- Epilogue.

Becoming spectacular [sound recording] : the rhythm of resilience from the first African American Rockette / by Jones, Jennifer,1967-author.(CARDINAL)881033; McCormick, Chanté,narrator.(CARDINAL)874012;
Read by Chanté McCormick.The Radio City Rockettes are as American as baseball, hot dogs, and the Fourth of July. Their legendary synchronized leg kicks, precise lines, and megawatt smiles have charmed audiences for a century. But there is a hidden side to this illustrious national institution. When the Rockettes began in 1925, Black people were not allowed to dance on stage with white people. However, during the Civil Rights Movement, dance history changed significantly when Black and white dancers were permitted to perform together, marking a moment of progress and inclusivity in the world of dance and entertainment. Even so, as late as the early 1980s, Rockette director Violet Holmes said having "one or two Black girls in the line would definitely distract." In 1987 the 63-year color barrier at Radio City was finally broken by one brave and tenacious woman. When she arrived, Jennifer Jones was met with pushback, a fierce resistance she details in this intimate and inspiring memoir. After overcoming seemingly impossible odds to join the line of The Rockettes, a PR director summoned the Black dancer to her hotel room and announced, "You're old news, nobody cares about you, your story or anything about you. You're just lucky to be here." Those words would haunt this shy, insecure biracial woman, who had always felt like an outsider.
