51	Exploring Kinship Systems: The Retention of Black Undergraduate Students at HBCUs Kimberly N Broughton (12480780) 29 April 2022 (has links) <p> </p> <p>Traditional kinship systems involve the organization of individuals who are biologically connected. However, such systems have evolved beyond bloodlines to incorporate individuals that are biologically unassociated but operate in familial-like roles due to shared spaces and/or experiences. Historically, kinship systems or cultural networks have functioned as the cornerstone of survival for those of the Black lived experience. From the days of legalized human chattel slavery to present-day movements seeking justice for the minoritized, the foundation of kinship was typically built through the local church, the assumed maternal positions by Black women, Black secret societies and more. They each served, and continue to serve, as a means for survival and success against a systemically oppressive society. This study explores the notion and existence of kinship systems at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). It specifically examines how fictive kinships through the lens of faculty-student dynamics, religion, and social activities, potentially influences the academic experience of Black students at HBCUs that currently have an above average retention rate. As America’s educational institution has lacked diversity, inclusion, justice, and equity for Black people for countless years, the primary mission of this study was to amplify Black student voices which have traditionally been suppressed. A supplemental goal of this study was to offer Black students tools for introspection that will aid them in navigating possible barriers to (post) educational success. In turn, this study gives insight to predominantly white institutions of higher learning on how to positively enhance the experience and retention of Black students, and the overall structure of diversity and inclusion on campus.</p> Rhetoric Education not elsewhere classified Education Assessment and Evaluation HBCU Retention Kinship PWI DEI Black Students Black Student Retention HBCU homecoming Fictive kinship Claflin University Spelman College Morehouse College Talladega College Tougaloo College Kimberly Broughton Black Church Faculty student relationship Greek Organization Fraternity Sorority

GOLDLEANA'S LEDGER: LOUISIANA LEARNING IN SHREVEPORT'S HOLLYWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ON LEDBETTER STREET 1945-1975 Jolivette Jessica Anderson-Douoning (18127711) 11 March 2024 (has links) <p dir="ltr">This dissertation analyzes the sixty-four (64) page handwritten ledger of Mrs. Goldleana Harris (also known as Mrs. Mosley Abraham Gibbs, 1920–1986), kept between 1944 and 1960. Harris is a Black woman born in Longstreet, Louisiana DeSoto Parish. She lived in Shreveport, Louisiana from 1949–1986. Using a case study approach and close reading analysis of Mrs. Goldleana’s writings, I document a Black woman’s lived experience and the historical significance of Hollywood, a segregated Black neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana and related gathering spaces within the Deep South region of the United States between 1944 and 1960. These spaces include five areas of significant and overlapping importance: The Family House, The School House, The Church House, The Labor (Work) House, & The Play (Leisure) House. </p> Gender history Histories of race Migration history Segregated neighborhoods Shreveport Black Women History Black Women's Studies Louisiana History Caddo Parish History Southern Studies Northwest Louisiana History Keithville Hollywood Neighborhood Hollywood Elementary School Black American culture Black Family House Black Schooling Black Church Rural to urban migration Black Labor in Louisiana Hand picked cotton laborers
