In particular, we wanted to begin a conversation about how we define the Black 1980s and what impact focusing on the period will have on larger discussions of Black life in the post–Civil Rights period as well as of US politics and culture.","PeriodicalId":496783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African American History","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135145395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dillahunt-Holloway","doi":"10.1086/725825","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725825","url":null,"abstract":"In 1988, when the Schlage Lock Manufacturing Company announced that it would be closing its plant in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Black Workers for Justice helped wage a successful worker-led campaign. Schlage refused to give workers, the majority of whom were Black, severance pay or extended health insurance. This article examines the organizing, mobilizing, and workers empowerment strategy that developed in response to the company’s unjust decision to close the plant, move its operations to Mexico, and deny workers severance pay. I argue that the struggle that unfolded at Schlage in Rocky Mount is an important example of and window into African American working-class resistance during the 1980s. Schlage Lock and the struggle it ignited illuminate the importance of North Carolina and the South in understanding the Black experience during the 1980s and the close relationship between environmental justice and workers’ rights.","PeriodicalId":496783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African American History","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135145400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Students Are the Spark: Anti-apartheid in the Long 1980s","authors":"Amanda Joyce Hall","doi":"10.1086/725828","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725828","url":null,"abstract":"In the long 1980s, many Black students at US universities came to imagine themselves as a part of the South African struggle against apartheid. South African radicalism, particularly the 1976 Soweto Uprising, inspired early campaigns among students at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the United States. Black students at predominately White institutions built on the early initiatives of HBCU students and brought White organizations to a global-local perspective that became the crux of the national divestment movement. Their analysis situated Black political movements in the United States within the liberatory struggles of Black South Africans, and vice versa, and pointed to an extended anticolonial radicalism within the long history of the Black Freedom Movement. Black student activism made the Howard, Columbia, Rutgers, and Berkeley campuses focal points of the divestment movement at its apex between 1985 and 1987. The three-wave student anti-apartheid movement reveals the 1980s as a period of dynamic Black internationalism in which continental and diasporic Africans successfully built a movement through strategic divestment campaigns and decades of grassroots organizing.","PeriodicalId":496783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African American History","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135144415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
