Abstract:

Early histories of the civil rights movement that appeared prior to the 1980s were primarily biographies of Martin Luther King, Jr. Collectively, these works helped to create the familiar “Montgomery to Memphis” narrative framework for understanding the history of the civil rights movement in the United States. This narrative begins with King's rise to leadership during the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, and ends with his 1968 assassination in Memphis, Tennessee. Since the 1980s, a number of studies examining the civil rights movement at local and state levels have questioned the usefulness and accuracy of the King-centric Montgomery to Memphis narrative as the sole way of understanding the civil rights movement. These studies have made it clear that civil rights struggles already existed in many of the communities where King and the organization of which he was president, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), ran civil rights campaigns in the 1960s. Moreover, those struggles continued long after King and the SCLC had left those communities. Civil rights activism also thrived in many places that King and the SCLC never visited. As a result of these local and state studies, historians have increasingly framed the civil rights movement within the context of a much longer, ongoing struggle for black freedom and equality, unfolding throughout the twentieth century at local, state and national levels. More recently, a number of books have sought to place the civil rights movement within the larger context of international relations. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Montgomery bus boycott next year, the event that launched King's movement leadership, it seems an appropriate point to return to the existing literature on King and to assess what has already been done, as well as to point to the gaps that still need to be filled, in what remains important field of study.

Abstract:

Martin Luther King Jr. foi vitimado pelo racismo em 1968 em Memphis, no Temesse, e desde 1983, os Estados Unidos celebram um feriado em sua homenagem. No presente artigo analisamos alguns de seus discursos, dialogando com suas biografias e os comentários de estudiosos da vida e do legado desse pastor, buscando compreender seu tempo histórico e a formação de sua teologia, para entender os alcances de sua teologia negra na luta pelos direitos civis aos afroamericanos. Assim, buscaremos descortinar um pouco da complexidade desse importante personagem do século XX considerado por James Cone como mais importante teólogo da história americana.

Abstract:

The aim of the current study was to conduct a psychobiography of the life of Martin Luther King Junior, who was born in 1929 and died in 1968. He was an American clergyman, husband, father, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. King fought for civil rights for all people. His “I Have a Dream” speech raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established him as one of the greatest orators in the United States of America. His main legacy was to secure access to civil rights for all Americans, thereby empowering people of all racial and religious backgrounds, and promoting equality in the American nation. This is a psychobiographical research study which aimed to explore and describe the life of Martin Luther King junior’s psychological development according to Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Developmental Theory. King was selected through purposive sampling on the basis of interest, value, and uniqueness to the researcher. Alexander’s model of identifying salient themes was used to analyse the data which were then compared to Erikson’s theory through a process of analytical generalisation. Limitations of the current study were identified and certain recommendations for future research in this field are offered.

Abstract:

Une approche socio-historique, concentree sur la periode agite (1955-1968) aux etats-unis aborde le role essentiel joue par la non-violence dans la vie et l'oeuvre de martin luther king, jr. Elle permet d'expliquer sa personnalite et son action. Rien ne predestinait king a tenir une place aussi importante dans l'histoire americaine. Cette non-violence, inspiree par gandhi, represente davantage une tactique qu'une ideologie au service des droits civiques de la minorite noire. En effet, king developpe une tactique originale : non seulement il prone l'alliance entre blancs et noirs, mais il recherche aussi, dans les mouvements de protestation, un moment de tension paroxystique pour acculer l'adversaire a negocier. King utilise la non-violence pour obtenir le vote de lois contre la segregation raciale et ameliorer la situation des noirs, en particulier dans le sud. La desobeissance civile marque egalement un tournant dans sa tactique non-violente. Mais, confronte aux emeutes noires, aux mouvements nationalistes afro-americains et aux reproches de collaboration avec les blancs, king est contraint de revoir ses positions. Son assassinat n'empeche pas la non-violence d'etre toujours presente dans les actions menees par les noirs aux etats-unis<br>A socio-historical approach centred upon the restless years (1955-1968) in the united states of america considers the essential role played by non-violence in the life, the works and the actions of martin luther king, jr. This is offered as an explanation of his personality and his militancy. The elaboration and evolution of his doctrine are examined. Nothing predestined martin luther king, jr. To take such an important part in american history. The methods of non-violence, inspired by gandhi, represent more a tactical than an ideological approach in the support of the civil rights battle of the black community. In fact, king develops an original tactics: he recommends both an alliance between white and blach people and a quest, withing the protest movements, for the paroxystical moment in order to compel his adversaries into a negotiation process. Martin luther king, jr. Uses non-violence in order to obtain several laws against racial segregation improving the black people's situation, especially in the south, civil disobedience is also a turning-point in his non-violent tactics. But, confronted with the black riots, the nationalistic afro-american movements and also criticized for his collaboration with the whites, king is forced to revise his positions. His message is still present nowadays in spite of his assassination

Abstract:

This piece of research examines how the speech Beyond Vietnam by Martin Luther King Jr. is framed by four newspapers in the United States. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to the existing body of research in framing as a field of study in general. More specifically, the aim is to expand the existing literature on media research regarding Martin Luther King Jr. while he was alive. Entman’s definition of framing is operationalized through the use of a deductive method. The results show that King is framed in a negative manner. In terms of framing, Conflict Frame is the most common frame used by newspapers in response to King’s speech. This is most likely due to the cold war politics prevalent during this era.

Abstract:

Martin Luther King Junior was an advocate of non-violent social change strategies; he was a pastor, an author, the first president of the southern Christian leadership conference, a speaker, a Nobel Prize winner, and a leader. Martin Luther King junior was transformed by his deep family roots in the African American Baptist church. His formative experiences in his hometown of Atlanta were his theological studies, his varied models of religious and political leadership and his extensive network of contacts in the peace and social justice movements of his time. Although only 39 at the time of his death, Martin Luther King juniors’ life was remarkable for the ways it reflected and inspired so many of the twentieth century’s major intellectual, cultural and political developments. The primary aim of this study was to explore and describe the psychological development across the lifespan of Martin Luther King junior, by applying Alfred Adler’s theory of individual psychology. Martin Luther King junior’s life was explored in this study through systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of the historic data on his life, which highlighted seven significant historical periods: (a) Childhood and adolescence (1929 – 1944), (b)The inevitable (1944 – 1948), (c) The Purpose in his Destiny (1948 – 1951), (d) Family and mission (1952 – 1959), (e) Movement against segregation (1960 – 1963), (f) History is made (1963 – 1967), and (g) Unfinished business (1968). Adler’s framework was used to recognize, convert and reconstruct his life into a coherent narrative of his psychological development throughout his life. Alexander’s guidelines for extracting salient data was utilised to ensure accurate description of Martin Luther King junior’s life. A conceptual framework that is the Adlerian Matrix was included in the study as guide in presenting the research discussion and findings in an illuminating and integrative manner. The research discussion and findings suggested that Adler’s theoretical framework considers the biopsychosocial, cultural and historic influences in Martin Luther King junior’s personality development. In taking the context into consideration, Adler’s individual psychology identified King junior with a social useful lifestyle because of his high social interest which influenced his striving for superiority. This lifestyle guided his fictional goal which was selfless and aimed at contributing to the wellbeing of others. The private logic about himself, others and the world, which is developed in early childhood, was a positive navigator for the development of his personality and lifestyle. Thus according to the Adlerian theory, King junior could positively balance the resolution of the life tasks of occupation, social and love & marriage. The study of King junior’s personality development has provided an affirmative demonstration of the value of Adler’s psychological theory to understand the process of personality development in an individual life. It has highlighted the value of studying an individual life taking his context, including early experiences, family environment and every action, into consideration to understand the uniqueness of responding to life tasks and his perceptions. Recommendations were made for future research undertakings using psychobiographical research design and methodology to reveal, illuminate and reconstruct the lives of historic personalities

Abstract:

The present dissertation investigates the African-Americans Civil Rights Movement, from its origin to its development in the 1950s and ‘60s. Dr. Martin Luther King is the key figure of the two decades analyzed in this survey: the non-violent theory inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, led King and his fellow activists into pursuing a new concept of social equality. The core of the non-violent concept is love and justice. Rosa Parks and her refusal to let a white man sitting on her spot on the bus in Montgomery, AL, gave the kick start to the boycott of buses and the consequent request of equality between White and Black people in public transport. After this core event, the Civil Right Movement gained public echo and became a central issue for US Government. In 1963, Dr King assembled thousands people in Washington DC: the famous I Have a Dream speech focused on the importance to stand up together and boost the non-violent opposition to the dis-equality in the American society. The aim is to promote fraternity, whereas the destruction of the white counterpart is highly rejected. After President J.F. Kennedy’s assassin, Lyndon D. Johnson issued the Civil Right Act, which gave birth to riots in the ghettoes and gave power to the anti civil rights equality parties, such as the KKK and those promoting the white supremacy. MLK moved to Chicago in order to delve into the core of the social discomforts, realizing that Blacks could not compete with the White counterpart in terms of education, health assistance and work opportunities. He had been criticized a lot, since his non-violence ideal of fight could not apply to the ghetto life-style. The dissertation continue till the murder of MLK and with my personal point of view.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: The Doan Valley Tunnel Storage (DVT) Project is part of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's (NEORSD) Combined Sewer Overflow Long Term Control Plan (CSO-LTCP). The project involves the construction of a storage tunnel and conveyance tunnel system that will reduce the number of overflows from CSO outfalls that flow to Lake Erie. The Project includes the construction of three tunnel systems: Doan Valley Storage Tunnel (DVT), Martin Luther King Conveyance Tunnel (MLKCT), and the Woodhill Conveyance Tunnel (WCT). These systems include the construction of approximately 19,300 linear feet (LF) of tunnel in rock, seven shafts, two adits, and near surface diversion structures, consolidation sewers, an emergency overflow, overflow structures, gate control vaults, and vents. Flows within the Project system are driven by gravity. This presentation summarizes the design approaches and construction challenges that were encountered to mitigate risks during design and construction stages.

Full text

Abstract:

We are living in dangerous times. We can anticipate further polarisation between Islam and the West as the official line becomes more focused on achieving military solutions to what are essentially political and cultural issues. Fethullah Gülen is unusual in adding a distinctly Islamic voice to the calls for a non-violent approach to conflict resolution. The notion of peace through peace has a rich Western tradi- tion from Tolstoy to Martin Luther King. In the East, all of those active in peace movements today acknowledge a debt to Mahatma Gandhi. These writers continue to influence peace activists such as Gene Sharp, whose work was directly channelled to assist in the recent, relatively peaceful, revolutions in former Soviet states such as the Ukraine. This paper examines the peace-building work of Gülen within wider concepts of non-vio- lence in order to explore their lessons for modern Islam’s transition. It is important for the conference to hear something of past voices and experiences, and the lessons learned from them, which can further inspire those in Islam who wish to move towards future peace using peaceful, non-violent activities. This goal is particularly pertinent in a time of terror when existing counter-insurgency meth- ods readily provoke a violent response, which justifies more violence and repression. The paper is illustrated to ensure accessibility of the examples for those less familiar with non-violent action dedicated to achieving social change.

Abstract:

The Peacock Tract in Montgomery, Alabama is one of Montgomery, Alabama’s first African-American neighborhoods. Originally a plantation where enslaved people worked the land, the rise of this community included the city’s first African-American churches which helped change the course of American history by becoming one of Montgomery’s centers of civil rights activity. The churches of the Peacock Tract were the places that witnessed the election of Martin Luther King as leader of the Montgomery Improvement Association, the vote to extend the city bus boycott, and the final rest stop on the Selma to Montgomery March.Later, the community was the site of racially and politically motivated retributive urbanism when the city’s African-American social infrastructure was intentionally targeted by Interstates. The effects of this massive disruption are still evident. The interstates quartered the community and severed it from the rest of the city, and at first look, this retaliatory urban maneuver may appear successful. However, the Peacock Tract has endured despite the immense piece of critical infrastructure positioned to intentionally disrupt it.This paper proposes that due to the strength and history of the enduring pieces of social infrastructure, specifically the historic churches, the area has yet to be overridden or abandoned, and supports the argument that the resilience of a place is inextricably tied to the strength of the social infrastructure within it. The paper highlights several interdisciplinary interventions proposed by undergraduate environmental design students. It presents a design research course where students are asked to consider infrastructure as an agent of connection, inclusion, or restoration. as opposed to division. Students worked with community partners to develop proposals providing a suture, between the quadrants left in the interstate’s aftermath. While each project proposes a unique programmatic solution, the intersection of social and critical infrastructure in pursuit of resilience is present throughout.

Abstract:

This Historic Structure Report (HSR) documents the development, use, and current condition of the King Family Home, a unit of Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park (MALU). The property is located at 234 Sunset Avenue NW, Atlanta, Georgia. The document also examines options for potential treatment and use. The National Park Service (NPS) will use this report to inform and guide its stewardship of this historic building.
