Abstract
During the rise of the Black Power movement, the Afro-American History Club fought for control of Chicago’s Woodrow Wilson Junior College, by challenging the viability of the college’s mostly Eurocentric curriculum for Black students. In doing so, they found themselves in public battles with Chicago’s mayor, Richard J. Daley. As America’s most powerful mayor, Daley controlled the City Colleges of Chicago campuses with a system of political nepotism that fixed Black students at the lowest rung of the educational strata. This chapter critically examines the fight between the Afro-American History Club and “Pharoah” Daley in 1967-1968. Also, it investigates the impact of Daley politics on student activism and protest at Woodrow Wilson Junior College during the growth and development of the Black Power movement.
在黑人权力运动兴起期间，非裔美国人历史俱乐部(african - american History Club)为争夺芝加哥伍德罗·威尔逊初级学院(Woodrow Wilson Junior College)的控制权，挑战该学院为黑人学生开设的以欧洲为中心的课程的可行性。在这样做的过程中，他们发现自己陷入了与芝加哥市长理查德·j·戴利(Richard J. Daley)的公开斗争中。作为美国最有权势的市长，戴利控制着芝加哥城市学院的校园，其政治裙带关系体系将黑人学生固定在教育阶层的最底层。本章批判性地考察了1967-1968年美国黑人历史俱乐部与“法老”戴利之间的斗争。此外，它还调查了戴利政治在黑人权力运动成长和发展期间对伍德罗威尔逊初级学院学生激进主义和抗议活动的影响。
