We shall overcome : press photographs of Nashville during the Civil Rights era / by Delmez, Kathryn E.,editor.(CARDINAL)802095; Edwards, Susan H.,contributor.(CARDINAL)799484; Wynn, Linda T.,contributor.(CARDINAL)636049; Lewis, John,1940-2020,writier of introduction.(CARDINAL)193731;
Includes bibliographical references.Foreword / John Lewis -- Preface / Kathryn E. Delmez -- Acknowledgements / Susan H. Edwards -- Nashville: an inspirational city / Linda T. Wynn -- The Nashville beat: photojournalism during the civil rights movement / Susan H. Edwards -- Plates -- Timeline."Fifty years after Martin Luther King Jr.'s death--and at a time when race relations and social justice are again at the forefront of our country's consciousness--this book expands on a Frist Center for the Visual Arts exhibition to present a selection of approximately one hundred photographs that document an important period in Nashville's struggle for racial equality. The images were taken between 1957, the year that desegregation in public schools began, and 1968, when the National Guard was called in to surround the state capitol in the wake of the civil rights leader's assassination in Memphis. Photographs from the archives of both daily newspapers will be included: the Tennessean, which was the more liberal publication, and the Nashville Banner, a conservative paper whose leadership seemed less interested in covering events related to racial issues. Some of the photographs in the exhibition were selected to be published in the papers, but many were not, the disclosure of which reveals insight into the editorial process."--Provided by publisher.

Jewish roots in the Carolinas : a pattern of American philo-Semitism. by Golden, Harry,1902-1981.(CARDINAL)196337;
Foreword--Causerie--Three Hundred years of citizenship in America--In the Carolinas--Early beginnings--the Ladies and the "Hebrew Benevolent Society"--Reflecting the culture of the surroundings--Where are the Jews of yesteryear?--the North had better press agents--the Civil War and the responsibility of citizenship--this is the heart of the story--cotton mills and picassos--there is always one man--the structure of the community-- the single proprietary class and the Negro--Segregation--Jew and Gentile--Southern philo-semitism--looking into the future--the south is people--notes."My sole purpose was to set forth the pattern of Jewish life. While the "action" in this study "takes place" in the Carolinas, I am certain that the sociological generalizations will hold for the rest of the South, excepting of course Florida, and probably Lousiana, which require seperate studies. The point I hope to establish, however, is that this "most Gentile" section of America has provided the most favorable "atmosphere" the Jewish people have known in the modern world."--From the author.

The race beat : the press, the civil rights struggle, and the awakening of a nation / by Roberts, Gene.(CARDINAL)221147; Klibanoff, Hank.(CARDINAL)279856;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 413-189) and index.An American dilemma: "An astonishing ignorance..." -- "A fighting press" -- Southern editors in a time of ferment -- Ashmore views the south -- The Brown decisions harden the south -- Into Mississippi -- The till trial -- Where massive and passive resistance meet -- Alabama -- Toward Little Rock -- Little Rock showdown -- New eyes on the old south -- Backfire in Virginia -- From sit-ins to SNCC -- Alabama versus The times, freedom riders versus the south -- Albany -- Ole miss -- Wallace and King -- Defiance at close range -- The killing season -- Freedom summer -- Selma -- Beyond.This is the story of how America awakened to its race problem, of how a nation that longed for unity after World War II came instead to see, hear, and learn about the shocking indignities and injustices of racial segregation in the South--and the brutality used to enforce it. It is the story of how the nation's press, after decades of ignoring the problem, came to recognize the importance of the civil rights struggle and turn it into the most significant domestic news event of the twentieth century. Drawing on private correspondence, notes from secret meetings, unpublished articles, and interviews, veteran journalists Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff go behind the headlines and datelines to show how a dedicated cadre of newsmen--first black reporters, then liberal southern editors, then reporters and photographers from the national press and the broadcast media--revealed to a nation its most shameful shortcomings and propelled its citizens to act.--From publisher description.

Race and reunion : the Civil War in American memory / by Blight, David W.(CARDINAL)195383;
Includes bibliographical references and index."No historical event has left as deep an imprint on America's collective memory as the Civil War. In the war's aftermath, Americans had to embrace and cast off a traumatic past. David Blight explores the perilous path of remembering and forgetting, and reveals its tragic costs to race relations and America's national reunion." "Race and Reunion is a history of how the unity of white America was purchased through the increasing segregation of black and white memory of the Civil War. Blight delves deeply into the shifting meanings of death and sacrifice, Reconstruction, the romanticized South of literature, soldiers' reminiscences of battle, the idea of the Lost Cause, and the ritual of Memorial Day. He resurrects the variety of African American voices and memories of the war and the efforts to preserve the emancipationist legacy in the midst of a culture built on its denial."--BOOK JACKET.
