This chapter tracks the most momentous years of Reddick’s life as he became a professor of history at Alabama State College in Montgomery and emerged as a major leader within the southern civil rights movement. He helped guide and document the Montgomery Improvement Association during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and he then did the same for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, serving as a founding member of its nine-member executive committee and as the organization’s official historian. Reddick also became a close mentor to Martin Luther King Jr. during these years, and he wrote the first biography of King, Crusader Without Violence (1959), helped King write a memoir on the boycott, Stride Toward Freedom (1958), and traveled with King and his wife Coretta Scott King to India. After supporting the local student sit-in movement in 1960, Alabama Governor John Patterson had him fired from Alabama State College, thus symbolizing his significant stature within the civil rights movement.

This chapter chronicles Reddick’s early life from his adolescence in Jacksonville, Florida to his collegiate career in Nashville, Tennessee. It explains how Fisk University, where he earned a BA in 1932 and an MA in 1933 while studying under Charles S. Johnson, E. Franklin Frazier, Lorenzo Dow Turner, Horace Mann Bond, and Arturo Schomburg, provided Reddick with the social network and intellectual training that guided his early entry into professional academic life. At Fisk, he became active in Carter G. Woodson’s Association for the Study of Negro Life and History; published in the Journal of Negro Education, The Crisis, and Opportunity; criticized the Southern Agrarians, and studied the racism in history textbooks. This chapter also explains how the Great Depression loomed large in Reddick’s formative years and pushed his politics to the left.
这一章记录了雷迪克的早期生活,从他在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的青春期到他在田纳西州纳什维尔的大学生涯。它解释了雷迪克是如何在菲斯克大学(Fisk University)获得学士学位和硕士学位的,当时他在查尔斯·s·约翰逊(Charles S. Johnson)、e·富兰克林·弗雷泽(E. Franklin Frazier)、洛伦佐·道·特纳(Lorenzo Dow Turner)、贺拉斯·曼·邦德(Horace Mann Bond)和阿图罗·绍姆伯格(Arturo Schomburg)的指导下学习,为雷迪克提供了社交网络和智力训练,指导他早期进入专业学术生活。在菲斯克,他积极参加卡特·g·伍德森的黑人生活和历史研究协会;发表在黑人教育杂志《危机与机遇》上;批评南方农民,研究历史教科书中的种族主义。本章还解释了大萧条是如何在雷迪克的成长岁月中挥之不去,并将他的政治立场推向左翼的。

This chapter charts Reddick’s rise as a major African American intellectual during the World War II era. As the curator of the Schomburg Collection in Harlem, Reddick helped organize Pan-African Congresses alongside W. E. B. Du Bois and Kwame Nkrumah, became a force in the Double Victory campaign against fascism at home and abroad, collected black soldiers’ letters during the war, used the library as a base for political organizing in response to crises such as the 1943 Harlem Race Riot and those surrounding the Atlantic Charter, published pioneering articles on Africa and the US military’s evolving policies toward black soldiers, pressured the US government to recognize the military heroics of black messman Dorie Miller, and generally served as a public intellectual for black America. He also worked with Eleanor Roosevelt to effect racial change and served as a member of the American Council of Learned Societies’ Committee on Negro Studies alongside Melville Herskovits and Lorenzo Dow Turner.
这一章描绘了雷迪克在二战时期作为一名重要的非裔美国知识分子的崛起。作为哈莱姆区Schomburg Collection的馆长,Reddick与W. E. B. Du Bois和Kwame Nkrumah一起帮助组织了泛非洲大会,成为国内外反法西斯双重胜利运动的一股力量,在战争期间收集黑人士兵的信件,将图书馆作为政治组织的基地,以应对危机,如1943年哈莱姆种族骚乱和围绕大西洋宪章的危机,发表了关于非洲和美国军队对黑人士兵政策演变的开创性文章,迫使美国政府承认黑人信使多里·米勒的军事英雄事迹,并普遍成为美国黑人的公共知识分子。他还与埃莉诺·罗斯福一起努力实现种族变革,并与梅尔维尔·赫斯科维茨和洛伦佐·道·特纳一起担任美国学术协会黑人研究委员会的成员。

This chapter explores Reddick’s pioneering work in the fledgling field of black history. During the 1930s, Reddick worked as a professor of history at Kentucky State College and Dillard University, and he took a leading role in the black fraternity Phi Beta Sigma. He also completed his PhD in history from the University of Chicago, where he studied under the Lost Cause scholar Avery O. Craven. While tracking Reddick’s activities across these institutions, special focus is on Reddick’s contributions to Carter Woodson’s Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Reddick gathered the testimonies of former slaves and influenced the larger effort by the Works Progress Administration, published a landmark historiographical article in the Journal of Negro History, completed an innovative dissertation on the role of white newspapers in New Orleans in sowing divisions and helping provoke the Civil War, and documented racial discrimination at libraries, archives, journals, and conferences.
本章探讨了雷迪克在黑人历史这一新兴领域的开创性工作。在20世纪30年代,雷迪克在肯塔基州立学院和迪拉德大学担任历史教授,并在黑人兄弟会Phi Beta Sigma中担任领导角色。他还在芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)完成了历史学博士学位,在那里他师从败诉学者Avery O. Craven。在追踪雷迪克在这些机构的活动时,特别关注的是雷迪克对卡特·伍德森黑人生活与历史研究协会的贡献。雷迪克收集了前奴隶的证词,并影响了工程进步管理局的更大努力,在《黑人历史杂志》上发表了一篇具有里程碑意义的史学文章,完成了一篇关于新奥尔良白人报纸在制造分裂和帮助挑起内战方面的作用的创新论文,并在图书馆、档案馆、期刊和会议上记录了种族歧视。

This chapter opens with Reddick’s 1960 trips to Ghana and Nigeria to celebrate their independence alongside his friends Kwame Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikiwe, and St. Clair Drake. The chapter’s focus, however, is Reddick’s role in the evolving civil rights movement of the 1960s. His ongoing mentorship of Martin Luther King Jr., along with his continued strategic planning and public-relations work for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, helped that vanguard organization successfully navigate its most tumultuous decade and force passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The chapter also challenges the simple dichotomy between civil rights and Black Power by using Reddick’s diverse activities—including his leadership of Leon Sullivan’s Opportunities Industrialization Center Institute—to explain the many roots and routes of Black Power as it evolved organically out of the southern struggle and parallel ones in the North. Reddick also continued to confront racism in an array of institutions including publishing, where he sought change by coauthoring a young adult’s history of African Americans’ role in the Civil War and Reconstruction entitled Worth Fighting For (1965).

This chapter explains how the Cold War, and especially the Red Scare, shaped Reddick’s actions while serving as the chief librarian of Atlanta University from 1948 to 1955, where he worked with Clarence Bacote, Hylan G. Lewis, and Benjamin Mays. Reddick’s refusal to condone America’s militarist foreign policy and its persecution of leftists at home contributed to his becoming the subject of a Federal Bureau of Investigation probe as well as a target of white Southern politicians, such as Herman Talmadge, who were committed to halting the burgeoning civil rights movement. Reddick nevertheless continued to his cultivate Pan-African ties, particularly by coordinating a monthlong visit by Nigeria’s Nnamdi Azikiwe and by co-authoring with W. Sherman Savage a history of his fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma. Reddick also promoted desegregation as a two-way street while helping prepare for a post-Brown v. Board of Education world. He likewise participated in local politics and the protracted struggles of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in the wake of Carter G. Woodson’s death. Finally, he left in Atlanta in 1955 after being fired by Atlanta University president Rufus Clement.
这一章解释了冷战,特别是红色恐慌如何影响了雷迪克在1948年至1955年担任亚特兰大大学首席图书管理员期间的行为,他在那里与克拉伦斯·巴科特、海兰·g·刘易斯和本杰明·梅斯一起工作。雷迪克拒绝容忍美国的军国主义外交政策及其在国内对左翼分子的迫害,这使他成为联邦调查局(fbi)的调查对象,也成为南方白人政治家的目标,比如赫尔曼·塔尔梅奇(Herman Talmadge),后者致力于阻止迅速发展的民权运动。然而,雷迪克继续培养泛非关系,特别是通过协调尼日利亚的纳姆迪·阿齐基维进行为期一个月的访问,并与w·谢尔曼·萨维奇共同撰写了他的兄弟会Phi Beta Sigma的历史。雷迪克在为布朗诉教育委员会案后的世界做准备的同时,还推动废除种族隔离,使之成为一条双向道路。在卡特·g·伍德森(Carter G. Woodson)去世后,他同样参与了当地政治和黑人生活与历史研究协会的长期斗争。最后,在1955年被亚特兰大大学校长鲁弗斯·克莱门特解雇后,他离开了亚特兰大。

This chapter analyzes Reddick’s intellectual activism during the 1970s while a professor at Temple University and Harvard University, which came after the black campus movement had begun to remake American higher education. He clashed repeatedly with white administrators and faculty members at Temple while helping to build a Black Studies program there. Off campus, he took a leadership role in the Black Academy of Arts and Letters, the Philadelphia Bicentennial Corporation, the Kinte Library Project with Alex Haley, and in the crusade against white control of black history in the historical profession. Alongside Vincent Harding and others, he launched a scathing indictment of Time on the Cross (1974) and institutional racism within academia. With support from the Moton Center, he also pursued research on institutional racism on college campuses and the impact of desegregation on black colleges. Reddick demonstrates how black intellectuals began disrupting institutional racism within higher education, public history, philanthropy, and publishing, even as they encountered a growing climate of conservatism and white backlash symbolized by the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978).

This chapter discusses the close of Reddick’s career, particularly as he served as a Distinguished Visiting Professor of History at Dillard University from 1978 to 1987. Although he commiserated with his good friend St. Clair Drake about the new conservative era and its hostility to further civil rights gains, he nevertheless remained active, including his participation in a landmark conference that grow into the important book The State of Afro-American History (1985), which included work by the next generation of pioneering black scholars like Darlene Clark Hine, Thomas C. Holt, James D. Anderson, and Robert L. Harris, Jr., even as it also included Reddick’s contemporaries such as his fellow Fisk student John Hope Franklin. The chapter closes by recounting Reddick’s death, explaining why he is not better known, and underlining the ongoing importance of his model of scholar-activist and its palpable importance today.
