Fleming, ASALH National President - 52 - New Releases from California Newsreel presented by the ASALH ZORA NEALE HURSTON: JUMP AT THE SUN Kristy Andersen (84 minutes) Zora Neale Hurston, path-breaking novelist, pioneering anthropologist and one of the first black women to enter the American literary canon (Their Eyes Were Watching God), established the African American vernacular as one of the most vital, inventive voices in American literature. This definitive film biography, eighteen years in the making, portrays Zora in all her complexity: gifted, flamboyant, and controversial but always fiercely original. HERSKOVITS AT THE HEART OF BLACKNESS Llewellyn Smith, Vincent Brown, Christine Herbes-Sommers (57 minutes) Is there a politics of knowledge? Who controls what knowledge is produced and how it will be used? Is there “objective” scholarship and, if so, how does it become politicized? These questions are examined through this groundbreaking film on the life and career of Melville J. Herskovits (1895-1963), the pioneering American anthropologist on Africa and the African Diaspora and author of the Myth of the Negro Past. TRACES OF THE TRADE: A STORY FROM THE DEEP NORTH Katrina Browne, Alla Kovgan, Jude Ray, Elizabeth Delude-Dix, Janita Brown (86 minutes) Katrina Browne uncovers her New England family's deep involvement in the Triangle Trade and, in so doing, reveals the pivotal role slavery played in the growth of the whole American economy. The film also explores how acknowledging this can help repair race relations today. SCARRED JUSTICE: THE ORANGEBURG MASSACRE 1968 Bestor Cram, Judy Richardson (57 minutes) Most Americans know nothing of the three black students killed at South Carolina State College during a protest in 1968. This documentary brings to light one of the bloodiest tragedies of the Civil Rights era after four decades of deliberate denial.

Call for Papers The Association for the Study of African American Life and History is soliciting papers for its 95th Annual Conference. The conference theme, “The History of Black Economic Empowerment,” foregrounds various concepts of economic empowerment. The need for economic development has been a central element of black life. After centuries of unrequited toil as slaves, African Americans gained their freedom and found themselves in the struggle to make a living. In 1910, a group of dedicated reformers, black and white, gathered to create an organization to address the needs of African Americans as they migrated to the cities of the United States. The organization that they created a century ago became we all know as the National Urban League. For a century, they have struggled to open the doors of opportunity for successive generations, engaging the challenges of each age. ASALH celebrates the centennial of the National Urban League by exploring racial uplift and black economic development in the twentieth century. Conference submissions are encouraged that address the origins, evolution, and implications of economic empowerment in the African Diaspora, particularly in the Caribbean Islands, Latin America, and the United States. Though panels for alternate topics will be gladly received, preference will be given to those submissions that engage broad and varied aspects of the conference theme. ASALH invites scholars from all disciplines to present research on African and African American life, history, thought, and culture from all parts of the Diaspora. Individual papers are welcome; however, multi-paper panels are preferred. As contemporary landscapes shift in national and international politics, we look forward to these important and necessary discussions about complex issues of economic--past, present, and future--for people of African descent. ASALH will begin accepting proposals on October 30, 2009 The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2010 All proposals must be submitted electronically to ASALH. For information on how to make electronic submissions, please visit www.asalh.org/95thconvention.html, - 58 - 95th Annual ASALH Meeting September 28 – October 3, 2010 Raleigh Convention Center Raleigh, North Carolina ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN LIFE AND HISTORY Over one thousand individuals, community builders, historians, educators, business professionals, and students from across the nation will convene to further explore the 2010 National Theme: “The History of Black Economic Empowerment”.

The Special Issue will include reviews and evaluations of the documentation and findings in recent works on the topic, including Randall Robinson, The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks (2000); Raymond Winbush, ed., Should America Pay? Slavery and the Raging Debate on Reparations (2003); Mary Frances Berry, My Face Is Black Is True: Callie House and the Struggle for Ex-Slave Reparations (2005); James W. Loewen, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism (2005); Elliott Jaspin, Buried in the Bitter Waters: The Hidden History of Racial Cleansing in America (2007); David M.P. Freund, Colored Property: State Policy and White Racial Politics in Suburban America (2007); Michael T. Martin, Michael T. and Marilyn Yaquinto, eds., Redress for Historical Injustices in the United States: On Reparations for Slavery, Jim Crow, and their Legacies (2007); Douglas A. Blackmon’s Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II (2008); and other works. Scholarly essays on the history of the reparations movement and on the groups and organizations involved in campaigns to obtain reparations for African Americans are particularly welcome. Scholars interested in possibly contributing in other ways to the Special Issue should contact the JAAH Editorial Office: [email protected]. Essays should be no more than 35 typed, double-spaced pages (12 pt. font), including endnotes. The JAAH uses the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition (Chicago, 2003) for citations. Guidelines for the manuscript submission are available in The Journal of African American History and on the JAAH website: http://www.jaah.org/. Submitted essays will be peer reviewed.
