3	UP IN THE BALCONY: WHITE RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND SCHOOL DESEGREGATION IN ARKANSAS, 1954-1960 Lai, David Andrew 01 January 2012 (has links) This paper examines the various responses of progressive white southern clergy to school desegregation events in Arkansas. I investigate why no major white clerical movement emerged to support civil rights, arguing that internal and external factors limited their genuinely motivated witness. National and local clergy endorsed Brown for both religious and practical reasons, arguing that segregation was counter to Christian brotherhood and hurt worldwide evangelism. However, like William Chafe’s progressives in Greensboro, too many clergy worked for school desegregation but ignored African American voices, believing that their demands unnecessarily inflamed the local opposition and unfortunately urged patience and civility instead of justice. Furthermore, clerical intervention proved to be less effective than ministers expected. Sympathetic clergy experienced physical harassment and congregational opposition for speaking out, and local communities simply ignore their messages.

4	Hysteria on the Hardwood: A Narrative History of Community, Race, and Indiana's "Basketbrawl" Tradition Eskew, Kelly R. January 2012 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / In 1964, Muncie Central High School got the “death penalty” at the hands of the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s (IHSAA) new commissioner, Phil N. Eskew, after post-game brawling at a boys basketball game led to a broader investigation of the entire program. In the closing moments of the game, a Muncie Central opponent was bloodied by an inbound pass to the face and fans erupted in violence, swarming the floor. The ensuing investigation revealed racial tensions, issues of sexual mores, political discord, and deep problems in the web of interrelationships that make up the phenomenon of Hoosier Hysteria. After a closed-door hearing and two days of deliberations, Eskew and the IHSAA Board of Control announced their decision, and the punishment prescribed made front page headlines across the state and beyond. basketball Hoosier Hysteria Muncie Middletown IHSAA Indiana High School Athletic Association Muncie Central Indiana High School Athletic Association Muncie Bearcats (Basketball team) Anderson Indians (Basketball team) Eskew, Philip Newton Biography Basketball -- Indiana -- History Basketball players -- Indiana -- History Basketball coaches -- Indiana -- History Basketball teams -- Indiana -- History School sports -- Indiana -- History Basketball injuries -- Indiana Sports -- Sociological aspects Sports -- Moral and ethical aspects Racism in sports Violence in sports
