Good for taking a look at Dr. Berry's thesis.

An interesting journal article written by Ronald E. Hall describing the way in which white women have indirectly become a form of oppression to African Americans. Hall insists that the feminist movement happened at such an inoppurtune time that because it invariably coincided with the civil rights movement, issues of civil rigjts that were attempting to be addressed were pushed to the wayside in favor of addressing the concerns of white women and the feminist movement. It is an interesting perspective on both accounts and deserves a look.

This is an excellent article written by Rosalee A. Clawson and John A. Clark that describes the dramatic affects that the social movements, gender, and race of southern African American women had on the dynamic of the Democratic party. Once a nearly all-white, male institution, the Democratic party changed after the New Deal and even more change was brought to it by the events of the Civil Rights Era. The comparisons and connections that Clawson and Clark make are thorough and well written.

Education is one of the most important investments of any society. However, negative stigmitism, conflicting ideas, and neglect often infiltrate academia through racism in the U.S. education system.

A great study to read that dissects the issue of race and gender in American education.

Former UC Santa Cruz prof and presidential candidate, Angela Y Davis in a video in 2008 discussing the trend toward jailing members of poor communities with mostly people of color. Her research today focuses on race, gender and imprisonment. This is an important topic for Kentucky as we listen to the Children's Law Center who is looking at why we have such high incarceration rates for our schoolchildren of color.

This link will provide a way to read the journal article written by Kentucky's own Elizabeth Hardwick, a prominent female writer born in Lexington whose dissection and insight to literature and the scholarly world provided an avenue for all women to follow in her footsteps.
