The Center for Africanamerican Urban Studies and the Economy (CAUSE)

Department of History -Carnegie Mellon University

Presents Dr. Matthew Whitaker

Dr. Whitaker is associate professor of history, Department of History, Arizona State University. He is the author of ³Race Work²: The Rise of Civil Rights in the Urban West.

Friday, 6 October 2006

4:30 p.m. refreshments

5-6:30 p.m. lecture and discussion

Baker Hall A53 Carnegie Mellon University

 

Abstract: Nearly sixty years ago, Lincoln and Eleanor Ragsdale descended upon the isolated, somewhat desolate, and entirely segregated city of Phoenix, Arizona, in search of freedom and opportunity--a move that would ultimately transform an entire city and, arguably, the nation. In this talk, Matthew Whitaker tells the story of two of the most influential black activists of the post-World War II American West, and through their story, he supplies a missing chapter in the history of the civil rights movement, American race relations, African Americans, and the American West. Whitaker explores the Ragsdales' family history and how their familial traditions of entrepreneurship, professionalism, activism, and "race work" helped form their activist identity and placed them in a position to help desegregate Phoenix. His work is also the first sustained account of white supremacy and black resistance in Phoenix.
