ABOUT LAST SATURDAY--FEB. 16th, 2019
:
The
ASALH
"Featured Author's"
Event on last Saturday was an incredible
success.
My signature southern
Bread Pudding
at my
"Featured Author"
Cookbook Signing table was a
"big hit".
and it gave me a special moment to share with book purchasers the evolution and "migration" of many of my southern recipes from my hometown in the south...before we were forced to "migrate" north after my
school closed
in
1959
due to Virginia's resistance to
The Brown v. Board of Education
desegregation
landmark case
(1954).
I
t was a treat to sit at my mentor's (Dr. Gardner's) Table and have my daughter, Cheryl, and Lenny to join me for the event.
Kudos
to the entire ASAHL staff, volunteers, and Board Members for a job well done:
Sylvia, Crystal, DeJuan, Bryon, Reba, Barbara, & others.
A commemorative Black Heritage Stamp of Gregory Hines (1946--2003) was unveiled at the 93rd annual Black History Luncheon (see a few photos (below) of the ASALH event and more on my website: drhnwashington.com).

Black History Month (& Year) Information
:
The American Civil Rights Movement
T
he
civil rights movement
(also known as the
American civil rights movement
and other terms) in the United States was a decades-long struggle with the goal of enforcing constitutional and legal rights for
African Americans
that other Americans already enjoyed. With roots that dated back to the
Reconstruction era
during the late 19th century, the movement achieved its largest legislative gains in the
mid-1960's,
after years of direct actions and grassroots protests that were organized from the
mid-1950's until 1968
. Encompassing strategies, various groups, and organized
social movements
to accomplish the goals of ending legalized
racial segregation
,
disenfranchisement
, and
discrimination in the United States
, the movement, using major
nonviolent
campaigns, eventually secured new recognition in federal law and federal protection for all Americans.
Aunt Hattie's school closed during this time in 1959.
R
eflecting Back
:
A
fter the
American Civil War
and the
abolition of slavery
in the
1860's,
the
Reconstruction Amendments
to the
United States Constitution
granted emancipation and constitutional rights of citizenship to all African Americans, most of whom had recently been enslaved. For a period, African Americans voted and held political office, but they were increasingly deprived of
civil rights
, often under
Jim Crow
laws
, and subjected to discrimination and sustained violence by whites in the South. Over the following century, various efforts were made by African Americans to secure their legal rights. Between
1955 and 1968,
acts of
nonviolent
protest
and
civil disobedience
produced crisis situations and productive dialogues between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to these situations, which highlighted the
inequities faced by African Americans
across the country.
M
oderates in the movement worked with
Congress
to achieve the passage of several significant pieces of federal legislation that overturned discriminatory practices and authorized oversight and enforcement by the federal government.
The
Civil Rights Act of 1964
expressly banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in employment practices; ended unequal application of voter registration requirements; and
prohibited racial segregation in schools
, at the workplace, and in
public accommo-dations
.
The
Voting Rights Act of 1965
restored and protected voting rights for minorities by authorizing federal oversight of registration and elections in areas with historic under-representation of minorities as voters.
The
Fair Housing Act of 1968
banned discrimination in the sale or rental of housing.
African Americans re-entered politics in the South, and across the country young people were inspired to take action.
F
rom
1964 through 1970
, a wave of
inner-city riots
in black communities undercut support from the white middle class, but increased support from
private foundations
. The emergence of the
Black Power
movement
, which lasted from about
1965 to 1975
,
challenged the established black leadership
for its cooperative attitude and its practice of nonviolence. Instead, its leaders demanded that, in addition to the new laws gained through the nonviolent movement,
political and economic self-sufficiency had to be developed in the black community.
M
any popular representations of the movement are centered on the charismatic leadership and philosophy of the
Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr.
,
who won the
1964 Nobel Peace Prize
for his role in non-violent, moral leadership.
However, some scholars note that the movement was too diverse to be credited to any one person, organization, or strategy.
The election of
Barack Hussein Obama
as the first Black President of the USA brought much pride and a sense of
"I Can"
to African Americans and to the country.
