Photographs of African Americans During the Civil War - (Prints and Photographs Reading Room, Library of Congress) While it is believed from visual examination that the images on this list show African Americans, there is no way to prove (or disprove) this belief. Rather, most photographs show African Americans as civilians attached to the military, and as "contraband" and refugees. Images of African American soldiers are not well represented in PandP files. www.loc.gov /rr/print/list/081_cwaf.html   (667 words)

More Than 800,000 U.S. Businesses Owned by African Americans; New York, California, Texas Lead States The number of African American-owned firms, excluding C corporations for which prior comparable data are not available, increased 26 percent from 1992 to 1997, compared with a 7 percent increase in this category for all U.S. firms. Three out of 10 African Americans reside in these four states. Four states, New York (86,500), California (79,100), Texas (60,400) and Florida (59,700) accounted for 35 percent of the firms owned by African Americans. www.census.gov /Press-Release/www/2001/cb01-54.html   (856 words)

Inventing Hispanics The coalition's leaders are systematically encouraging Hispanics (and Asian Americans) to see themselves as victims of discrimination and racism—and thus to share the grievances of many African Americans. The recategorizations and redefinitions reflect, in part, changes in actual numbers (large increases in the nation's Hispanic population might arguably justify a separate category); in part, efforts to streamline statistics (collapsing half-a-dozen ethnic groups into one); and, in part, external pressures to which all government agencies are subjected. The essence of the American design—diversity within unity—leaves considerable room for differences regarding to whom one prays and to which country one has an allegiance—as long as it does not conflict with an overarching loyalty to America. www.brook.edu /press/review/winter2002/etzioni.htm   (1793 words)

Ethnicity and Race: American Diversity Patterms Recent "black" immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean are not similarly distinguished in terms of national origin on the census--they are lumped into the black, or African American, category without regard for their linguistic, religious, and other cultural differences. Similar to the lumping of diverse peoples into the black category for the census, all European, Middle Eastern, and North African immigrants are defined as "white" without concern for their significant cultural differences. Americans have been forced by circumstances to focus on this debate over what the country should be like in the future. anthro.palomar.edu /ethnicity/ethnic_6.htm   (2055 words)

Race (United States Census) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Respondents who provided write-in entries such as South African, Belizean, of a Hispanic origin (for example, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Cuban), or even "American" are included in the "Some other race" category.

It includes people who indicated their race or races as "Black, African Am., or wrote in entries such as African American, Afro American, Nigerian, or West Indian.

Black Enterprise: Creating a new business agenda - Micro business enterprises smaller than small businesses: includes the minority caucus mandates The first inklings of forming a smaller business category were discussed then as a preventive measure for African Americans to be less dependent on race-conscious business aid. Such a distinct category would help provide fairer competition among other very small firms in the areas of loans, financial and technical assistance programs, innovative research assistance programs and government procurement contracts. At the White House Conference on Small Business, the Minority Delegates' Caucus fought to have 16 recommendations included within the final 60 Recommendations that were submitted to Congress in September. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1365/is_n6_v26/ai_17939110   (1460 words)

The Virginia Explorer Virginia also has a lot of sites that can show how African Americans have become part of the political life, such as the Richmond area, which was the birthplace of Gov.

H-Net Review: Kate Masur on Leading the Race: The Transformation of the Black Elite in the Nation's Capital, 1880-1920 Moore occasionally mentions a category of "subelites"--such as activist Nannie Helen Burroughs--who for reasons such as educational or familial background, or because of personal preference, were not members of the very highest echelons of African American society. Moore's examination of elite African Americans' lives in the District is extensive, particularly for the period between 1890 and 1910. There is little evidence--in Moore's book or in the historical record--to support the argument that Reconstruction-era black elites sought only to "better their own condition and gain acceptance in the white world," without consideration for poorer African Americans (p. www.h-net.org /reviews/showrev.cgi?path=7267999287083   (1697 words)

Small Business - Samia El-Badry - FORTUNE SMALL BUSINESS - Page The census collects data on four minority groups—African Americans, Native Americans, Asians, and Hispanics—everybody else is lumped into a category called "white." The only place the government asks for data on Arab backgrounds is in the ancestry question on the long form, which not everyone receives. Often Americans use the terms "Arab American" and "Muslim" interchangeably, and yet studies have indicated that 75% of Arab Americans are Christian. There's a perception that Arab Americans are uneducated, but we're actually one of the best-educated ethnic groups and twice as likely to hold graduate degrees as the general population. www.fortune.com /fortune/smallbusiness/articles/0,15114,551991,00.html   (1697 words)

White Male Minority For 160 years (after Native Americans were displaced and "disappeared"), African Americans have been the primary minority in the country, but that position is about to be taken over by Latinos. We are used to speaking of "women and minorities" as a category of the workforce, which leaves white males as the other category, implying that white males are the majority. Of course, the largest minority group are people covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. www.sussman.org /wmm.html   (554 words)

The CAACW is seeking presentations that examine, evaluate, and define the role of African Americans before, during, and after the Civil War; discuss ancillary issues regarding African Americans and the sectional crisis; and facilitate an interdisciplinary discussion of the historical threads that connect the Civil War to today, especially for African Americans. aar.slu.edu /announce.html   (671 words)

Stephen Knadler, "Unacquiring Negrophobia: Younghill Kang and the Cosmopolitan Resistance to the Black and White Logic of Naturalizaiton" In learning to set themselves apart from African Americans lest they share their marginalized status, Asian-Americans were participating in the unfolding of a larger epistemic transformation in the discourse of whiteness. Kang is not undergoing as does Frank Chin's Tam what Susan Gubar has called a "racechange" -- one in which he crosses racial boundaries to imitate or impersonate African Americans. In the new dominant category of the Caucasian, Jewish and Eastern European immigrants and their children (Jacobson argues) found themselves part of a normative "American whiteness," but this inclusiveness depended upon the solidifying of racial conflict as a "Negro problem" (103-10). social.chass.ncsu.edu /jouvert/v4i3/knad.htm   (10705 words)

Hudson Institute > American Outlook > American Outlook Article Detail Immigrants who do succeed may do so at the expense of native-born minorities, particularly African-Americans. The numbers of skilled immigrants listed as entering are skewed because family members of employment-based immigrants are counted in that category. The most economically vulnerable Americans, including previous immigrants, compete head-to-head with new shipments of unskilled labor, often suffering wage reductions as a result of their arrival. www.americanoutlook.org /index.cfm?fuseaction=article_detail&id=1355   (10705 words)

Black Panther Power Fist or Fan Afro Pick Comb w/ Metal Teeth - FREE Ship The recent popularity of the Afro Pick is partly because young African-Americans are again rediscovering the importance of their cultural history as well as taking pride in the beauty of traditional African hair styles and the modern styles that have evolved from them. While the Afro Pick has once again surged in popularity in American culture, unfortunately it has not yet fully taken on the same unique importance in modern day African-American culture as it did in early African culture.

The Religious Movements Homepage: Black Jews The various Black Muslims had teachings in some ways similar to those of the Black Jews, and they shared with the Black Jews the sense of providing a new, freedom-oriented religion that would replace the slave religion of Christianity among African Americans. Because Christianity was the religion of the slaveowners and was forced on African Americans, some nationalists held, a new religion that affirmed black equality needed to replace it. Black Jews are monotheists, in some cases believing that God is black and in others believing that the deity cannot be constrained within any category of color. religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu /nrms/blackjews.htm   (1764 words)

REFINED STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF VOTE DILUTION The insertion of the percentage of Hispanics into the county-level regression equations used for statewide estimates likewise produces a higher estimate of the rate of rejection for ballots cast by African-Americans. This statistically significant county-level correlation between race and ballot rejection rates cannot be attributed to the educational level of African-Americans in Florida. A multiple regression analysis that controlled for the percentage of high school graduates and the percentage of adults in the lowest literacy category failed to diminish the relationship between race and ballot rejection or to reduce the statistical significance of the relationship. www.usccr.gov /pubs/vote2000/report/appendix/lichtman/ltrpt.htm   (1764 words)
