Died December 29, 1939 Kelly Miller was the sixth of ten children born to Kelly Miller, a free Negro who served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and Elizabeth (Roberts) Miller, a slave. Miller received his early education in one of the local primary schools established during Reconstruction and, based on the recommendation of a missionary (Reverend Willard Richardson) who recognized Miller's mathematical aptitude, Miller attended the Fairfield Institute in Winnsboro, South Carolina from 1878 to 1880. Awarded a scholarship to Howard University, he completed the Preparatory Department's three-year curriculum in Latin, Greek, and mathematics in two years (1880-1882), then attended the College Department at Howard from 1882 to 1886. During the period from 1882 to 1886, while Miller attended the College Department at Howard University, he also worked as a clerk for the U.S. Pension Office for two years.

Extractions: At a time when affirmative action policies are being rolled back and reviewed-including a recent federal appeals court decision to uphold California's controversial Proposition 209, the first state law to ban 30 years of U.S. affirmative action programs-new professor of law Lauren Edelman has been hard at work studying labor's response to civil rights laws. While some of her findings are critical of occupational legal mandates including affirmative action programs, she says that more often than not, such policies don't do enough to ensure diversity in the workplace. "Equal employment opportunity law is ambiguous, emphasizes procedure over substance, and has weak enforcement mechanisms," Edelman concluded in a recent study, "Legal Ambiguity and Symbolic Structures: Organizational Mediation of Civil Rights Law." "Organizations have considerable latitude in how they respond to that law," she said. Edelman said that in response to civil rights mandates, employers often create symbolic structures such as affirmative action offices and discrimination grievance procedures that "have little impact."

Syllabus: Rights And Responsibilities
Yet, civil society remains for most the focal particularly examine the notions ofrights and responsibilities We will start with Hegel's sociology of community
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7364/Bard_syllabus.html

Extractions: Contemporary debates over such social policy issues as crime, welfare reform, and civil rights are permeated by the rhetorics of "rights and responsibilities." Implicit in these debates is the opposition between individualism and community. Increasingly, liberalism has been attacked by both the left and the right as having failed to adequately balance the rights of the individual with the individual's responsibilities to family, community, and nation. In these debates, both sides accept the sociological assumption that the individual is in part a creation of her social interactions. However, each reads different implications in this assumption. With the "demise" of an organized left, community and identity politics have been offered as alternatives to individualism and civil society. Yet, civil society remains for most the focal point for struggles for the eradication of class, gender, and racial inequality. The class will examine the debate over individualism, identity, and community in historical perspective. We will see how struggles surrounding class, gender, and "race" inform these debates and are shaped by them. We will particularly examine the notions of rights and responsibilities as articulated by the Communitarian Movement and the New Right.

Extractions: Hate crimes laws have been around since 1981, when the Anti-Defamation League drafted a model hate-crime statute that called for enhancing the penalty for crimes motivated by bias and requiring states to keep a database about such crimes. To date, forty states and the District of Columbia have enacted hate-crime laws based on the ADLs model statute. Hate crime laws generally have two parts, one that identifies the groups protected and one that identifies the offenses. The author, a professor of criminology at Morehead State University, examines the arguments for and against hate-crime laws, noting that they will continue to evolve as they are tested in court. Amy Black and Stanley Rothman conducted a major study of African American and white elites (The Study of Leadership Characteristics) to find out how they view the United States - as a nation divided by color, or a country moving towards greater integration. Here they present the study's findings - opening with a discussion of some recent works on race relations in the United States. They then assess elite views of the state of race relations in America, comparing and contrasting African American and white leaders views on racial issues, and how black and white elites view one another. The results, they say, provide evidence for both optimism and pessimism in the future of race relations.

Extractions: JANUARY 18, 1993 THE DREAM IS ALIVE by Gary Puckrein The Dilemma of Slavery In 1776, the Founding Fathers of the United States laid out a compelling vision of a free and democratic society in which individual could claim inherent rights over another. Emancipation and Segregation Although its origins are complex, the immediate cause of the Civil War (1861-1865) was not the practice of slavery in the South, but the attempt of the Southern states to secede from the Union. In addition, the North refused to permit the expansion of slavery into the new territories of the West. As the bloody conflict became prolonged, however, Northern war aims shifted to the elimination of the institution of slavery itself, as well as the preservation of the Union. Origins of a Movement At the turn of the century, dissatisfied with the absence of racial equality, a group of Northern black intellectuals began to agitate anew for a restoration of civil rights.

Students from the University of Michigan gave up basking on a beach to follow the "Civil Rights Trail," to learn, as one put in a journal, that "I am so naïve. I don't know anything." These 21 U-M Lloyd Hall Scholars "It takes a lot of guts to get in a van and travel 3,000 miles with people you do not know very well in search of a movement that no longer exists," says Joseph Gonzales, a graduate instructor at U-M and coordinator of the event. "Despite cramped quarters, bad food, and a schedule that could exhaust a presidential candidate, these students learned not only about the movement, but also how to work together as a community, making decisions and resolving disputes." The following are excerpts from some of the journals kept by the students: "When we asked what we could do for the Civil Rights Movement
