Abstract

This chapter examines the peculiar history of Tougaloo College from its founding during the Reconstruction Era to the turn of the century. Tougaloo, is best known for being a haven for black militancy during the modern civil rights movement and one of the few safe spaces for Freedom Riders, marchers, and sit-in activists in the most notoriously violent state in the south – Mississippi. Yet its early years illustrate an institution in constant flux, trying to survive economic hardships, and under the thumb of conservative administrators and teachers who exposed Tougaloo students to the expectations of respectability politics. Nevertheless, black students carved out vital spaces for expression and utilized the pages of their student newspaper to display their expanding social and political consciousness and their desire to resist the oppressive and often violent hardships of America’s lowest point in race relations.

本章考察了图加卢学院从重建时期成立到世纪之交的特殊历史。图加卢是现代民权运动中黑人激进分子的避风港,也是南部最臭名昭著的暴力州——密西西比州为数不多的自由乘车者、游行者和静坐活动人士的安全场所之一。然而,它的早期表现出一个不断变化的机构,试图在经济困难中生存下来,并在保守的管理人员和教师的控制下,他们将Tougaloo学生暴露在体面政治的期望中。然而,黑人学生开辟了重要的表达空间,并利用学生报纸的版面来展示他们不断扩大的社会和政治意识,以及他们抵制美国种族关系最低点的压迫和暴力苦难的愿望。
