This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE LILLIAN SMITH BOOK AWARD John Hervey Wheeler (1908–1978) was one of the civil rights movement's most influential leaders. In articulating a bold vision of regional prosperity grounded in full citizenship and economic power for African Americans, this banker, lawyer, and visionary would play a key role in the fight for racial and economic equality throughout North Carolina. Utilizing previously unexamined sources from the John Hervey Wheeler Collection at the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library, this biography explores the black freedom struggle through the life of North Carolina's most influential black power broker. After graduating from Morehouse College, Wheeler returned to Durham and began a decades-long career at Mechanics and Farmers (M&F) Bank. He started as a teller and rose to become bank president in 1952. In 1961, President Kennedy appointed Wheeler to the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, a position in which he championed equal rights for African Americans and worked with Vice President Johnson to draft civil rights legislation. One of the first blacks to attain a high position in the state's Democratic Party, Wheeler became the state party's treasurer in 1968, and then its financial director. Wheeler urged North Carolina's white financial advisors to steer the region toward the end of Jim Crow segregation for economic reasons. Straddling the line between confrontation and negotiation, Wheeler pushed for increased economic opportunity for African Americans while reminding the white South that its future was linked to the plight of black southerners.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of North Carolina: From the Earliest Discoveries to the Present Time In the laborious years given to the preparation of this work, many wise and valued friends have aided in its progress. To none of these am I so largely obliged as to my excellent and tireless wife. To her affectionate and critical comments I am indebted for any literary excellence that may be found in the style and general treatment of the different epochs. To my kins man, Colonel John H. Wheeler, I am also largely indebted, not. Only for advice and unpublished material, but in his most val uable work on our State history I found a mine exhaustless in facts and figures 'to his brother, Dr. Samuel J. Wheeler, I am similarly obliged for rare and invaluable historic memoranda. I must return thanks also to my learned and gentle friend, Captain Samuel A. Ashe, who so nobly continues the virtues of his ancient family. His zeal in the vindication of North Caro lina is only equalled by his kindly and unselfish aid to me, who had so few'reasons to expect so much assistance. I would also return thanks to Messrs. George Davis and Henry N utt of \vil mington, and to Horatio Davis, Esq., of Chatham, Virginia, for similar favors. In the same way I have been laid under lasting obligations by General \v. R. Cox of \vake, and Mrs. John O. Askew of Hertford. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Color of the Land written by David A. Chang and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Color of the Land brings the histories of Creek Indians, African Americans, and whites in Oklahoma together into one story that explores the way races and nations were made and remade in conflicts over who would own land, who would farm it, and who would rule it. This story disrupts expected narratives of the American past, revealing how identities--race, nation, and class--took new forms in struggles over the creation of different systems of property. Conflicts were unleashed by a series of sweeping changes: the forced "removal" of the Creeks from their homeland to Oklahoma in the 1830s, the transformation of the Creeks' enslaved black population into landed black Creek citizens after the Civil War, the imposition of statehood and private landownership at the turn of the twentieth century, and the entrenchment of a sharecropping economy and white supremacy in the following decades. In struggles over land, wealth, and power, Oklahomans actively defined and redefined what it meant to be Native American, African American, or white. By telling this story, David Chang contributes to the history of racial construction and nationalism as well as to southern, western, and Native American history.
