question
Black Arts Movement, 1959-1980
answer
During the 1960s, a new generation of writers, artists, and dramatists emerged in the North to express Black sensibility in the arts. The movement began in 1959, when Elmer Lewis, Margaret Burroughs, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, an LeRoi Jones founded the American Negro Repertory Company, which, like the National Conference of Negro Artists (later the National Conference of Artists), Margaret Burrough's Ebony Museum of Negro Culture in Chicago, and the San Francisco Negro Historical and Cultural Association, led the way to the 1960s Black Pride movement. Although these institutions grew out of the Civil Rights Movement's belief in integration, they were also committed to the idea that art and history should promote racial appreciation. Black theater groups developed over the country and by the mid-sixties, Black poets, playwrights, and fiction writers linked art to political expression, and articulated a Black aesthetic in the arts that was unavailable to whites.
question
Fred Shuttlesworth (1922 - 2011)
answer
Born in Mount Meigs, Alabama, Shuttlesworth became pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1953 and was Membership Chairman of the Alabama state chapter of the NAACP in 1956, when the State of Alabama formally outlawed it from operating within the state. In May 1956, Shuttlesworth and Ed Gardener established the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights to take up the work formerly done by the NAACP. The ACMHR raised almost all of its funds from local sources at mass meetings. It used both litigation and direct action to pursue its goals. When the authorities ignored the ACMHR's demand that the city hire black police officers, the organization sued. Similarly, when the United States Supreme Court ruled in December 1956 that bus segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, was unconstitutional, Shuttlesworth announced that the ACMHR would challenge segregation laws in Birmingham on December 26, 1956. On December 25, 1956, unknown persons tried to kill Shuttlesworth by placing sixteen sticks of dynamite under his bedroom window. Shuttlesworth somehow escaped unhurt even though his house was heavily damaged. A police officer, who also belonged to the KKK, told Shuttlesworth as he came out of his home, \"If I were you I'd get out of town as quick as I could\". Shuttlesworth told him to tell the Klan that he was not leaving and \"I wasn't saved to run.\" In 1957 Shuttlesworth, along with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rev. Ralph Abernathy from Montgomery, Rev. Joseph Lowery from Mobile, Alabama, Rev. T.J. Jemison from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Rev. C.K. Steele from Tallahassee, Florida, Rev. A.L. Davis from New Orleans, Louisiana, Bayard Rustin and Ella Baker founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The SCLC adopted a motto to underscore its commitment to nonviolence: \"Not one hair of one head of one person should be harmed.\" Shuttlesworth embraced that philosophy, even though his own personality was combative, headstrong, an sometimes blunt-spoken to he point that he frequently antagonized his colleagues in the movement as well as his opponents. He was not shy in asking King to take a more active role in leading the fight against segregation and warning that history would not look kindly on those who gave \"flowery speeches\" but did not act on them. He alienated some members of his congregation by devoting as much time as he did to the civil rights movement, at the expense of weddings, funerals, and other ordinary church functions. As a result, in 1961 Shuttlesworth moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to take up the pastorage of the Revelation Baptist Church. He remained intensely involved in the Birmingham struggle after moving to Cincinnati, and frequently returned to help lead actions. Shuttlesworth was apparently personally fearless, even though he was aware of the risks he ran. Other committed activists were scared off or mystified by his willingness to accept the risk of death. Shuttlesworth himself vowed to \"kill segregation or be killed by it.\" In 1998, Shuttlesworth became an early signer and supporter of the Birmingham Pledge, a grassroots community commitment to combating racism and prejudice. It has since then been used for programs in all fifty states an in more than twenty countries. On January 8, 2001, he was present with the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Bill Clinton. On July 16, 2008, the Birmingham, Alabama, Airport Authority approved changing the name of Birmingham's airport in honor of Shuttlesworth. On October 27, 2008, the airport was officially changed to Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. On October 5, 2011, Shuttlesworth died at the age of 89 in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute announced that it intends to include Shuttlesworth burial site on the Civil Rights History Trail.
question
C.K. Steele (1914 - 1980)
answer
Steele decided that he wanted to become a preacher at an early age and began preaching when he was 15. In 1938, he graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta. He then served as a minister at churches in Montgomery, AL and Augusta, GA. In 1952, at age 38 he moved to the Bethel Baptist Church in Tallahassee, FL, where he served as minister until his death in 1980. In 1956, after two black college students were arrested for sitting in the \"whites only\" section of a city bus in Tallahassee, he organized a bus boycott. Following the famous example of the 1955 bus boycott in Montgomery, Ala., the black community of Tallahassee's act of civil disobedience remained a nonviolent one. Steele remarked of the hostility and violence the boycotters faced at the hands of angry whites: \"They have thrown rocks, they have smashed car windows, they have burned crosses. Well, I am happy to state here tonight that I have no fear of them and, praise God, I have no hate for them.\" Former Florida governor LeRoy Collins commented years later that \"the boycott hurt black people more than it did white people, in the sense that they needed that service more than white people did. But it showed the people of this community that they were very determined to right this wrong.\" Two years later, the bus boycott ended triumphantly. Bus service in Tallahassee was finally integrated. Steele also worked to integrate Tallahassee's schools, restaurants, theaters, and other public facilities. At the same time, he became a national figure in the civil rights movement. In 1957, he helped Martin Luther King organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He served as its vice president, and participated in man national civil rights protests, including the famous march in Selma, Ala. His quest to improve the black community continued for the rest of his life. Two years before his death in 1980, he announced what he still hoped to accomplish \"I'd like to leave Beth an educational program that will give young people strong character for living,\" to make \"some kind of impact against economic deprivation,\" and to \"convince one person in my lifetime that war does not fit into Christian faith.\"

After a two-year tour of Europe, Church Terrell settled in Washington, DC, and became active in the suffragist movement, founding the Colored Women's League in 1892. In 1896, this club merged with the National Federation of Afro-American Women to become the National Federation of Colored Women, and Church Terrell was elected its first president. In 1895 she became the first African American woman appointed to the District of Columbia Board of Education. A charter member of the NAACP, she was a popular lecturer on equal rights for women and blacks and served as a delegate at various international women's rights congresses. She was also a prolific writer on social issues and the recipient of honorary doctorates from Howard University and Wilberforce and Oberlin colleges.
