Jabara was born in Mancelona, Michigan in 1940 to Lebanese parents who had immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century, eventually settling in northern Michigan. Jabara took an interest in Middle Eastern affairs throughout his youth and upon graduation from high school in 1958 decided to attend the University of Michigan, largely because the school offered courses in Arabic and had a prominent Arab student population. During his early undergraduate years Jabara determined that in order to learn the Arabic language properly he would have to immerse himself in that culture and so he spent five months living in Cairo, Egypt. He then journeyed by freighter to Lebanon to visit his father's village, where he met his uncle for the first time."," Upon returning from this trip, Jabara's focus centered more on the completion of his undergraduate education at Michigan than on Middle East issues. However, during his years of law school at Wayne State University in Detroit he gradually became more involved with civil rights issues and founded a local chapter of the Civil Rights Research Council. He graduated from law school in 1965 and returned to Lebanon to further develop his Arabic language skills through additional schooling."," Jabara returned to Detroit in 1966 to open his law practice. In 1967, the Arab-Israeli war and the anti-Arab sentiment it created prompted Jabara to become heavily involved with Arab-American issues. Academics of Arab heritage met at the University of Michigan to discuss the political situation and formed the Association of Arab-American University Graduates (AAUG) in 1968. The mission of the AAUG was to promote educational and cultural activities and information about the Arab world and the Arab-American community. Jabara served as the first executive secretary and was later elected president of the group in 1972."," In 1970, Jabara joined the law firm of Lafferty, Reosti, Jabara, Papakhian, Stickgold, James and Smith in Detroit. For the next decade and a half he would fight for the rights of Arabs living or traveling in the United States as well as political activists in general. He did so by challenging the practice of collecting information and maintaining surveillance of Arabs and Arab Americans by such institutions as the Detroit and Michigan State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Secretary of State. Jabara's own case against the FBI, for which he enlisted the help of the ACLU, finally ended in victory in 1984 with the FBI agreeing to destroy his file and acknowledging that collecting the information found within the file violated his constitutional rights."," Throughout his legal career Jabara would take on nationally prominent cases of Arabs and Arab-Americans. Such cases included Sirhan B. Sirhan, convicted in the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, and Ziad Abu Eain, wanted for extradition to Israel for a 1979 Palestine Liberation Organization bombing."," Jabara was also involved in the National Lawyer's Guild, an organization founded as an alternative to the more conservative American Bar Association. In 1977 he traveled to Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the Occupied Territories as part of the NLG's Middle East delegation to report on the condition and treatment of Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories. Jabara became president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in 1986. The ADC, founded by former Senator James Abourezk in 1980, devoted itself to the protection of the rights of people of Arab descent and promoting their cultural heritage. Jabara now (2002) works for the ADC Research Institute in Washington D.C. He recently worked as part of the defense team for Omar Ahmad Ali Abdel Rahman, accused of plotting to blow up New York City landmarks and the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Jabara resides in New York City.","The collection has been divided into two series: Litigation/Court Cases and Political and Cultural Activities. The many files of correspondence and press clippings document the types of legal and political battles and causes that Jabara has tackled throughout his career. A limited amount of material in the collection is in Arabic, mostly correspondence and press clippings, and is noted as such in the contents list.","Abdeen M. Jabara reserves copyright during his lifetime. Patrons are responsible for determining the appropriate use or reuse of materials.","New York attorney originally based in Detroit. Jabara was concerned with issues of civil rights of Arab Americans and the rights of Arabs living or traveling in the United States. He challenged practice of law enforcement agencies to collect information and maintain surveillance of Arabs and Arab Americans.

DeWeese, a physician then working in Detroit, became frustrated by what he perceived to be a lack of educational choice for his own children then about to begin school. With other like-minded individuals, DeWeese formed Michigan Citizens for Choice in Education (shortly to be renamed TEACH Michigan). Incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1991, TEACH Michigan was established to lobby for changes in the law regarding school choice. Associated with TEACH Michigan was a tax-exempt sister organization - TEACH Michigan Education Fund (TMEF) - which with license to solicit charitable contributions could engage in a variety of educational, research, and planning functions."," Under DeWeese's leadership, TEACH Michigan advocated fundamental changes in the state's educational system. The core of TEACH Michigan's philosophy of education was simply stated. Parents should be allowed to choose from competing systems of schools with funding for education following the student and not automatically being given to the government-supported school system. An ambitious agenda, TEACH Michigan realized the importance of educating the public and enlisting enough grassroots support for the necessary changes in state law and in the state constitution to be made. With the law changed, there would follow competition for the education dollar resulting in non-governmental sponsorship of K-12 schools by corporations, public or private universities, parent groups or churches, as well as by the government. No longer would there be a \"government monopoly\" school system. Instead, parents would receive financial support (or vouchers) for their children to attend the school of their choice."," Although his message never wavered, DeWeese was realistic enough to realize that \"full choice\" could only come incrementally, thus his advocacy of changes in state law to allow for the creation of charter schools. Charter schools are public schools that are custom-designed by groups of teachers, parents or outside individuals to meet particular education needs. Charter schools are part of the public school system, financed on a par with other schools in the district. But for charter schools to become a reality state law would have to be changed. In December 1993, with the passage of Senate bill no. 896 (signed by the governor in January 1994), Michigan adopted the most significant restructuring of public education since the development of single-function school districts in the early 20th century. The state authorized groups of certified teachers and community leaders to form individual charter schools (public school academies) \"that are to be treated like school districts\" for the purposes of state education law. These \"single-school school districts\" could be started anywhere in the state by one or more certified teachers, a county, city, village, township, school district, community college, or state public university. Each new school would develop its own governing board, and must describe its educational goals and the standards by which its performance will be measured. Each of these academies would receive a state school aid payment for its enrolled students."," Following the passage of 896, TMEF established a sister organization, the Michigan Center for Charter Schools (MCCS), whose purpose was to promote the development of charter schools. TMEF subsidized the operation of MCCS throughout its existence. MCCS was the only organization in the state early on that was disseminating timely and accurate information about charter schools. MCCS also helped several groups move through the process of establishing a charter school. By the end of 1995, more than 60 charter school had been established with an additional 120 schools seeking charters."," In November 1994, an Ingham County circuit court judge ruled the law unconstitutional. Although the groups authorized to grant charters were government entities, the judge ruled, the day-to-day operations of schools were largely in the hands of privately elected directors and thus not directly accountable to the public. With this decision, the charter schools that had been established were left without public funding. In some cases, the schools reverted to private school status relying on tuitions and corporate donations for their support. In other cases, the state legislature, many of whose members believed that the judge's ruling would be overturned on appeal, passed emergency legislation which addressed the judge's objection to the original legislation."," In 1995, the state Board of Education contracted with the Michigan Partnership for New Education to both promote charter schools and to provide technical assistance to charter schools. The Michigan Partnership immediately asked for, and received, permission to hire the entire staff of MCCS in order to run their charter school operation. In May of 1995, MCCS ceased to operate, as its mission and staff were absorbed by the Michigan Partnership for New Education."," From its inception, TEACH Michigan knew that for real educational reform to take place from their point of view, the Michigan State Constitution (Article 8, sec. 2) would have to be revised. That provision restricted the use of public funds to government-operated schools only. With the constitution changed, TEACH Michigan hoped to secure passage of a voucher system so that parents might choose, and receive funding, for their child to attend a church-related school."," In 2000, the TEACH Michigan organization was folded into a new organization, Partnership for Learning.","This record group consists of two separate groupings (or subgroups) of records: the combined files of TEACH Michigan and TEACH Michigan Education Fund covering the period of 1989 to 1995, and files of the charter school support group, Michigan Center for Charter Schools covering the years 1994-1995. Both organizations operated out of the same office in Lansing and included some of the same individuals as board members. The TM/TMEF files consist in great part of papers of Dr. Paul N. DeWeese, a principal founder of the organization. The MCCS files are largely papers of executive director Barbara Barrett as well as DeWeese. Together, the record group contains correspondence, policy statements, organizational and activity files, collected materials, sound and video materials, all relating to the efforts of the two organizations first to educate and lobby for changes in the law, and second to provide assistance and support in the establishment of charter schools. The records date from the inception of the organization to 1995. The subsequent records of TEACH Michigan remain with the organization.","Donor(s) have not transferred any applicable copyright to the Regents of the University of Michigan.

These \"single-school school districts\" could be started anywhere in the state by one or more certified teachers, a county, city, village, township, school district, community college, or state public university.

DeWeese, a physician then working in Detroit, became frustrated by what he perceived to be a lack of educational choice for his own children then about to begin school. With other like-minded individuals, DeWeese formed Michigan Citizens for Choice in Education (shortly to be renamed TEACH Michigan). Incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1991, TEACH Michigan was established to lobby for changes in the law regarding school choice. Associated with TEACH Michigan was a tax-exempt sister organization - TEACH Michigan Education Fund (TMEF) - which with license to solicit charitable contributions could engage in a variety of educational, research, and planning functions."," Under DeWeese's leadership, TEACH Michigan advocated fundamental changes in the state's educational system. The core of TEACH Michigan's philosophy of education was simply stated. Parents should be allowed to choose from competing systems of schools with funding for education following the student and not automatically being given to the government-supported school system. An ambitious agenda, TEACH Michigan realized the importance of educating the public and enlisting enough grassroots support for the necessary changes in state law and in the state constitution to be made. With the law changed, there would follow competition for the education dollar resulting in non-governmental sponsorship of K-12 schools by corporations, public or private universities, parent groups or churches, as well as by the government. No longer would there be a \"government monopoly\" school system. Instead, parents would receive financial support (or vouchers) for their children to attend the school of their choice."," Although his message never wavered, DeWeese was realistic enough to realize that \"full choice\" could only come incrementally, thus his advocacy of changes in state law to allow for the creation of charter schools. Charter schools are public schools that are custom-designed by groups of teachers, parents or outside individuals to meet particular education needs. Charter schools are part of the public school system, financed on a par with other schools in the district. But for charter schools to become a reality state law would have to be changed. In December 1993, with the passage of Senate bill no. 896 (signed by the governor in January 1994), Michigan adopted the most significant restructuring of public education since the development of single-function school districts in the early 20th century.

Crazy Horse began writing, in her words, \"simply because I could ‘speak so\n                well’ like Colin Powell; read and write; and had a favorite band throughout the '90s\n                that got awful press and a lot of disdain: the Black Crowes. As a New Southerner\n                with a brain, I figured it was my job to champion them because they made great Black\n                music.\" The Brooklyn-based writer was formerly the music editor at Creative Loafing\n                in Charlotte, N.C., and has contributed to numerous publications, including  Paper ,  Harp ,  Village Voice ,  Popmatters.com , and the  San Francisco Bay\n                    Guardian . She supported Afrofuturism by editing  Rip It Up : The Black Experience in Rock 'n' Roll  (2004), noted for\n                being \"an eclectic mix of interviews and essays on Black rock 'n' roll--filled with\n                fascinating information and provocative ideas.\" Crazy Horse was the 2008-2009\n                Anschutz Distinguished Fellow in American Studies at Princeton University, where she\n                taught the course \"Roll over Beethoven : Black Rock \u0026 Cultural Revolt,\" and\n                organized and mounted a Southern rock symposium titled  Radio\n                    Free Dixie-- or, De Dirty South Brokedown . Crazy Horse challenges Black\n                readers to take pride in the history of Black rock, to \"attempt to conserve it,\n                don't just fritter it away and then lament it being lost forever after.\"","Rob Fields (panelist/interviewee):  Self-described \"Black\n                rock evangelist\" Rob Fields writes about Black rock and Black culture on his blog\n                     Bold as Love , which focuses on exploring,\n                celebrating and evangelizing the growing music genre known as Black rock, Afro-punk\n                or urban alternative (URB ALT). In conjunction with his blog, he runs a live event\n                series,  Bold as Live , which creates new opportunities\n                for audiences to discover Black rock through shows, lectures, and discussions.

His band Cipher, founded in 1996, is committed to opening\n                critical spaces in underground music to reawaken the legacy of dissent in today's\n                hardcore, weaving together elements of hardcore and metal with melodicism and\n                politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment of race, gender,\n                and class. Mitchell was one of the four artists profiled in James Spooner's 2003\n                documentary  Afro-punk , which explored issues of race\n                identity within the punk scene.

Elements of hardcore and metal\n                are woven with politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment\n                of race, gender, and class. Cipher's most recent album,  Children of God's Fire  (2005), was released to critical acclaim as \"an\n                unrelenting, neo-revolutionary musical statement, transcending genres and provoking\n                thoughts.\" As one reviewer put it, \"In front of ambitiously bruising slabs of\n                hardcore, Cipher front man Moe Mitchell ponders everything from patriarchy to the\n                pharmaceutical industry.\" Cipher released their second album,  The Joyous Collapse , in late 2009.

","Tamar-kali (panelist/interviewee): \n                Songwriter-vocalist-guitarist Tamar-kali came on the New York rock scene around 1993\n                while performing with the band Funkface. Shortly thereafter, she became the front\n                woman for Song of Seven, another New York-based rock band. Eventually, Tamar-kali's\n                strength as a woman in a male-dominated genre led to creative conflict and compelled\n                her toward her own expression as a songwriter and vocalist, which resulted into her\n                eclectic musical style. Her band 5ive Piece incorporates hard-core funk, melodic\n                guitar riffs, dissonant harmonies, even and odd-metered grooves and unorthodox song\n                forms. In addition to the instrumental styles of 5ive Piece, Tamar-kali's diverse\n                vocal range allows her to execute warm, round, dark and raspy tones from low to high\n                registers upon demand. She also performs with the string quartet Psycho Chamber\n                Ensemble, which performs renditions of songs by 5ive Piece as well as those arranged\n                and composed specifically for strings by Tamar-kali.

In addition to appearing in the film  Afro-punk , Tamar-kali has been featured in  Vibe ,  Fader  and  Village Voice  magazines. ","Greg Tate (panelist)  is an American author who has spent\n                the last two decades formulating a critical language that has redefined African\n                American cultural theory and writing. An essayist and long time staff writer for\n                     Village Voice , Tate has published widely, with\n                writings on art, music, and culture appearing in  The New York\n                    Times ,  Rolling Stone ,  The Washington Post ,  Spin ,  Artforum ,  The\n                    Nation ,  DownBeat , and Africa-based\n                magazines such as  Glendora Review  and  Chimurenga . The impact of Tate's writing lies in the\n                seminal productive tensions he navigates between post-structural theory and Black\n                cultural nationalism, academia and street culture. Tate has been inspired by Black\n                innovators such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, George Clinton, and the\n                artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Furthermore, Tate has defied fixed notions about what\n                constitutes authentic Black culture, and has inscribed a new radical trajectory that\n                is simultaneously rebellious yet intelligently written. Now in his 50s, Tate\n                continues to challenge cultural hegemony, writing on everything from hip-hop to\n                     YouTube .

Living and working\n                in New York City, the pair began performing regularly as a duo. All along, they were\n                crafting the sound and songs that would form the foundation for a colossal rock band\n                influenced by the strident English three- and four-pieces of the '70s, the dark pop\n                and heavy grooves of the '90s, and the transcendental, noisy acid sounds of modern\n                rock. The band's first full-length album,  Soft\n                    Targets , was recorded in Los Angeles and Brooklyn in 2005 and earned the\n                group many fans and critical acclaim from publications including  The New Yorker ,  Spin ,\n                     Rolling Stone ,  Brooklyn\n                    Vegan , and  Pitchfork . Even more so, the\n                band's live show quickly drew heaps of attention and gained a steady reputation\n                among critics and fans alike as a veritable rock-n-roll wrecking ball. Earl\n                Greyhound toured relentlessly for the next two years all over the U.S., Canada, and\n                Japan, and autumn 2007 was spent playing theatres as openers for the band's good\n                friend Shooter Jennings, as well as for Soundgarden and Audioslave's Chris Cornell.\n                In spring 2010 Earl Greyhound released their sophomore album  Suspicious Package .

She began\n                studying organ at the age of six and, as fate would have it, Thomas was given her\n                first music lessons and introduction to the organ by the great Jimmy Smith.

Shortly thereafter, she became the front\n                woman for Song of Seven, another New York-based rock band. Eventually, Tamar-kali's\n                strength as a woman in a male-dominated genre led to creative conflict and compelled\n                her toward her own expression as a songwriter and vocalist, which resulted into her\n                eclectic musical style. Her band 5ive Piece incorporates hard-core funk, melodic\n                guitar riffs, dissonant harmonies, even and odd-metered grooves and unorthodox song\n                forms. In addition to the instrumental styles of 5ive Piece, Tamar-kali's diverse\n                vocal range allows her to execute warm, round, dark and raspy tones from low to high\n                registers upon demand. She also performs with the string quartet Psycho Chamber\n                Ensemble, which performs renditions of songs by 5ive Piece as well as those arranged\n                and composed specifically for strings by Tamar-kali. Along with leading her diverse\n                ensembles and heading up her own production company, Flaming Yoni Productions,\n                Tamar-kali has worked with other artists in hip-hop and rock such as Outkast and\n                Fishbone.

The impact of Tate's writing lies in the\n                seminal productive tensions he navigates between post-structural theory and Black\n                cultural nationalism, academia and street culture. Tate has been inspired by Black\n                innovators such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, George Clinton, and the\n                artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Furthermore, Tate has defied fixed notions about what\n                constitutes authentic Black culture, and has inscribed a new radical trajectory that\n                is simultaneously rebellious yet intelligently written. Now in his 50s, Tate\n                continues to challenge cultural hegemony, writing on everything from hip-hop to\n                    \u003ctitle render=\"italic\"\u003eYouTube\u003c/title\u003e.

Her current research on the music and\n                legacy of Black women in rock examines the intersection of gender, race, sexuality,\n                and music production. She has held fellowships from the National Science Foundation,\n                the Ford Foundation, and the American Association of University Women and has taught\n                at Wesleyan University and UCLA. ","Moe Mitchell (panelist/interviewee):  A graduate of Howard\n                University, Moe Mitchell has established himself as an activist and musician in the\n                underground punk scene. His band Cipher, founded in 1996, is committed to opening\n                critical spaces in underground music to reawaken the legacy of dissent in today's\n                hardcore, weaving together elements of hardcore and metal with melodicism and\n                politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment of race, gender,\n                and class. Mitchell was one of the four artists profiled in James Spooner's 2003\n                documentary  Afro-punk , which explored issues of race\n                identity within the punk scene. Cipher was formed in 1996 by longtime friends who\n                wanted to bring something new to underground music. Elements of hardcore and metal\n                are woven with politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment\n                of race, gender, and class. Cipher's most recent album,  Children of God's Fire  (2005), was released to critical acclaim as \"an\n                unrelenting, neo-revolutionary musical statement, transcending genres and provoking\n                thoughts.\" As one reviewer put it, \"In front of ambitiously bruising slabs of\n                hardcore, Cipher front man Moe Mitchell ponders everything from patriarchy to the\n                pharmaceutical industry.\" Cipher released their second album,  The Joyous Collapse , in late 2009. ","Netic (panelist/interviewee)  is one of the founders as\n                well as the lead vocalist of the Brooklyn-born band Game Rebellion. Before rhyming\n                with Game Rebellion, he was a brain and cognitive sciences major at Massachusetts\n                Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he enrolled at the\n                age of sixteen. Game Rebellion is an all-Black, all-outta-Brooklyn band whose metal,\n                punk, and rudeboy skanking licks sound as credible and crunchy as their hip-hop\n                lyrics and head nodding bounce. The lyrical prowess and production of Netic provide\n                an unobstructed view of the angst of young rebels everywhere. Game Rebellion has\n                been making big waves on the New York scene for about three years. In that short\n                time they've ventured out even further to slam heads, rock houses and muddy the lily\n                white waters of hip-hop and rock from NYC and Cali to Puerto Rico and the UK. They\n                just may be the best-kept secret in music right now. Their album  Searching for Rick Rubin  (2008) explores classic hip-hop\n                songs originally produced by studio legend Rick Rubin, re-imagined in Game\n                Rebellion’s own style and mixed by J.period. ","James Spooner (panelist/interviewee)  is a filmmaker and\n                fine artist. His award-winning debut feature documentary  Afro-punk  has screened at festivals in the U.S. and abroad, including\n                the Toronto International Film Festival, New York's Urbanworld Film Festival, the\n                American Black Film Festival, Mar del Plata International Film Festival (Argentina),\n                and the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. The film has been incorporated in a\n                program for high school students on race identity by the New Museum in New York, and\n                has inspired an Afro-Punk Film Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which he\n                has been co-curating. He was Resident Video Installation Artist at the Ase Dance\n                Theatre Collective in New York, where he created new media works with a\n                choreographer. Prior to working in film, he was a sculptor, whose work showed in\n                galleries in New York and Seattle. He has also been an editor and an editing\n                consultant. More recently, Spooner made his narrative film debut with  White Lies, Black Sheep  (2007). ","Stew (panelist/interviewee)  is a Tony Award-winning\n                singer/songwriter/playwright from Los Angeles. Together with his collaborator Heidi\n                Rodewald, Stew leads two critically acclaimed bands: The Negro Problem and Stew,\n                both of which were formed in the early 1990s. By the turn of the millennium, The\n                Negro Problem was enjoying considerable success, receiving  Entertainment Weekly 's Album of the Year award in both 2000 and 2002.\n                In 2004, Stew and Heidi Rodewald received the support of the Sundance Institute and\n                The Public Theater to produce the musical  Passing\n                    Strange , which has had successful runs at the Berkeley Repertory\n                Theater, The Public Theater (NYC), and the Belasco Theatre on Broadway. More\n                recently, Spike Lee directed a film version of  Passing\n                    Strange , which is receiving glowing praise at film festivals and aired\n                on PBS in the spring of 2010. As a result of his various creative ventures, Stew has\n                been the recipient of numerous awards, including a 2008 Tony for Best Book of a\n                Musical, two Obie awards for Best New Theater Piece and Best Ensemble as a cast\n                member, and is a four-time Tony nominee.

Stew’s recorded output includes  Post\n                    Minstrel Syndrome  (1997),  Joys and\n                    Concerns  (1999),  Guest Host  (2000),\n                     The Naked Dutch Painter  (2002),  Welcome Black  (2002),  Something\n                    Deeper than these Changes  (2003), and the cast album of  Passing Strange  (2008). ","Tamar-kali (panelist/interviewee): \n                Songwriter-vocalist-guitarist Tamar-kali came on the New York rock scene around 1993\n                while performing with the band Funkface. Shortly thereafter, she became the front\n                woman for Song of Seven, another New York-based rock band. Eventually, Tamar-kali's\n                strength as a woman in a male-dominated genre led to creative conflict and compelled\n                her toward her own expression as a songwriter and vocalist, which resulted into her\n                eclectic musical style. Her band 5ive Piece incorporates hard-core funk, melodic\n                guitar riffs, dissonant harmonies, even and odd-metered grooves and unorthodox song\n                forms. In addition to the instrumental styles of 5ive Piece, Tamar-kali's diverse\n                vocal range allows her to execute warm, round, dark and raspy tones from low to high\n                registers upon demand. She also performs with the string quartet Psycho Chamber\n                Ensemble, which performs renditions of songs by 5ive Piece as well as those arranged\n                and composed specifically for strings by Tamar-kali. Along with leading her diverse\n                ensembles and heading up her own production company, Flaming Yoni Productions,\n                Tamar-kali has worked with other artists in hip-hop and rock such as Outkast and\n                Fishbone. In addition to appearing in the film  Afro-punk , Tamar-kali has been featured in  Vibe ,  Fader  and  Village Voice  magazines. ","Greg Tate (panelist)  is an American author who has spent\n                the last two decades formulating a critical language that has redefined African\n                American cultural theory and writing. An essayist and long time staff writer for\n                     Village Voice , Tate has published widely, with\n                writings on art, music, and culture appearing in  The New York\n                    Times ,  Rolling Stone ,  The Washington Post ,  Spin ,  Artforum ,  The\n                    Nation ,  DownBeat , and Africa-based\n                magazines such as  Glendora Review  and  Chimurenga . The impact of Tate's writing lies in the\n                seminal productive tensions he navigates between post-structural theory and Black\n                cultural nationalism, academia and street culture. Tate has been inspired by Black\n                innovators such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, George Clinton, and the\n                artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Furthermore, Tate has defied fixed notions about what\n                constitutes authentic Black culture, and has inscribed a new radical trajectory that\n                is simultaneously rebellious yet intelligently written. Now in his 50s, Tate\n                continues to challenge cultural hegemony, writing on everything from hip-hop to\n                     YouTube . His books include  Flyboy in the Buttermilk  (1992),  Midnight\n                    Lightning : Jimi Hendrix and the Black Experience  (2003), and  Everything but the Burden : What White People Are Taking from\n                    Black Culture  (2003). He is also a founding member of the Black Rock\n                Coalition and the conductor and music director of Burnt Sugar, a band that fuses\n                jazz, rock, funk, and African music in a lyrical, exploratory and improvisational\n                manner. ","Kamara Thomas (panelist/interviewee),  along with Matt\n                Whyte, is one of the founding members of the band Earl Greyhound. Living and working\n                in New York City, the pair began performing regularly as a duo. All along, they were\n                crafting the sound and songs that would form the foundation for a colossal rock band\n                influenced by the strident English three- and four-pieces of the '70s, the dark pop\n                and heavy grooves of the '90s, and the transcendental, noisy acid sounds of modern\n                rock. The band's first full-length album,  Soft\n                    Targets , was recorded in Los Angeles and Brooklyn in 2005 and earned the\n                group many fans and critical acclaim from publications including  The New Yorker ,  Spin ,\n                     Rolling Stone ,  Brooklyn\n                    Vegan , and  Pitchfork . Even more so, the\n                band's live show quickly drew heaps of attention and gained a steady reputation\n                among critics and fans alike as a veritable rock-n-roll wrecking ball. Earl\n                Greyhound toured relentlessly for the next two years all over the U.S., Canada, and\n                Japan, and autumn 2007 was spent playing theatres as openers for the band's good\n                friend Shooter Jennings, as well as for Soundgarden and Audioslave's Chris Cornell.\n                In spring 2010 Earl Greyhound released their sophomore album  Suspicious Package . ","Suzanne Thomas (panelist/interviewee):  A real deal blues\n                guitarist and vocalist, Suzanne Thomas no stranger to the blues. Life for Thomas\n                started out as an abandoned biracial child in South Korea, where she lived in an\n                orphanage until an American family adopted her into the States at five. She began\n                studying organ at the age of six and, as fate would have it, Thomas was given her\n                first music lessons and introduction to the organ by the great Jimmy Smith. Thomas\n                abandoned dental school at Ohio State to attend music school in Los Angeles. After\n                time in all-female groups such as School Boy Crush, Software, and PMS, Thomas formed\n                Crank, a 3-piece hard rock band that shared the stage with Ice T and Body Count,\n                Fishbone, and Macy Gray. Thomas has also been hired out as a guitarist to several\n                funk and R\u0026B bands, notably doubling on guitar and bass in the Grammy-winning\n                band A Taste of Honey. She took second place in the 7th annual Jimi Hendrix contest,\n                and played in Japan, France, and New York at various music festivals and events\n                including the Manhattan Music Center. Thomas currently performs with her band The\n                Blues Church. ","Linda Tillery (panelist/interviewee):  Before becoming a\n                prominent figure in women's music in the 1990s, San Francisco native Linda Tillery\n                began her singing career in the 1960s with the gender and racially integrated\n                psychedelic/soul band The Loading Zone, which was modeled somewhat after Sly \u0026\n                the Family Stone. After two albums with that band, Tillery released her solo debut,\n                     Sweet Linda Divine , on CBS in 1970 to\n                enthusiastic reviews and high praise. She spent most of the 1970s singing and\n                playing drums on over forty albums, including those by Mary Watkins and Teresa\n                Trull. Having become a staff musician and producer at Olivia Records, Tillery\n                released her second solo album, a self-titled effort, on the label in 1978,\n                garnering a Bay Area Music Award for Best Independently Produced Album. Tillery has\n                twice gone on to win Bay Area Jazz awards for Outstanding Female Vocalist. In\n                subsequent years, Tillery collaborated with female musical powerhouses including\n                June Millington, Deidre McCalla, Barbara Higbie, and Margie Adam, as well as on the\n                Olivia Records 10th anniversary album,  Meg/Cris Live at\n                    Carnegie  (1983). In 1985, Tillery released  Secrets  on her own 411 label which returned her to center stage. In\n                recent years, she has assembled a large band, Skin Tight, which plays jazzy, funky\n                blues. She has also performed with the ZaSu Pitts Memorial Orchestra and has\n                branched out into radio, film, theater, and television commercials. She has worked\n                for the National Endowment for the Arts and appeared with artists ranging from\n                Santana, Kenny Loggins, and Huey Lewis to the Turtle Island String Quartet, Bobby\n                McFerrin, and Holly Near. In 1992, Tillery created the Cultural Heritage Choir as an\n                outlet for her desire to perform the traditional spiritual music of African American\n                slaves and their descendants. ","Ike Willis (panelist/interviewee)  first met Frank Zappa\n                while studying political science at Washington University. Willis volunteered to\n                help with the concert committee just so he could get a backstage pass to meet Frank\n                Zappa. As a result of this meeting in 1978, Willis became Zappa's lead singer and\n                rhythm guitarist for nearly fifteen years. In addition to touring, Willis performed\n                on Zappa's albums  Joe's Garage ,  Tinsel Town Rebellion , and  You\n                    Are What You Is .

DeWeese, a physician then working in Detroit, became frustrated by what he perceived to be a lack of educational choice for his own children then about to begin school. With other like-minded individuals, DeWeese formed Michigan Citizens for Choice in Education (shortly to be renamed TEACH Michigan). Incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1991, TEACH Michigan was established to lobby for changes in the law regarding school choice. Associated with TEACH Michigan was a tax-exempt sister organization - TEACH Michigan Education Fund (TMEF) - which with license to solicit charitable contributions could engage in a variety of educational, research, and planning functions."," Under DeWeese's leadership, TEACH Michigan advocated fundamental changes in the state's educational system. The core of TEACH Michigan's philosophy of education was simply stated. Parents should be allowed to choose from competing systems of schools with funding for education following the student and not automatically being given to the government-supported school system. An ambitious agenda, TEACH Michigan realized the importance of educating the public and enlisting enough grassroots support for the necessary changes in state law and in the state constitution to be made. With the law changed, there would follow competition for the education dollar resulting in non-governmental sponsorship of K-12 schools by corporations, public or private universities, parent groups or churches, as well as by the government. No longer would there be a \"government monopoly\" school system. Instead, parents would receive financial support (or vouchers) for their children to attend the school of their choice."," Although his message never wavered, DeWeese was realistic enough to realize that \"full choice\" could only come incrementally, thus his advocacy of changes in state law to allow for the creation of charter schools. Charter schools are public schools that are custom-designed by groups of teachers, parents or outside individuals to meet particular education needs. Charter schools are part of the public school system, financed on a par with other schools in the district. But for charter schools to become a reality state law would have to be changed. In December 1993, with the passage of Senate bill no. 896 (signed by the governor in January 1994), Michigan adopted the most significant restructuring of public education since the development of single-function school districts in the early 20th century. The state authorized groups of certified teachers and community leaders to form individual charter schools (public school academies) \"that are to be treated like school districts\" for the purposes of state education law. These \"single-school school districts\" could be started anywhere in the state by one or more certified teachers, a county, city, village, township, school district, community college, or state public university. Each new school would develop its own governing board, and must describe its educational goals and the standards by which its performance will be measured. Each of these academies would receive a state school aid payment for its enrolled students."," Following the passage of 896, TMEF established a sister organization, the Michigan Center for Charter Schools (MCCS), whose purpose was to promote the development of charter schools. TMEF subsidized the operation of MCCS throughout its existence. MCCS was the only organization in the state early on that was disseminating timely and accurate information about charter schools. MCCS also helped several groups move through the process of establishing a charter school. By the end of 1995, more than 60 charter school had been established with an additional 120 schools seeking charters."," In November 1994, an Ingham County circuit court judge ruled the law unconstitutional. Although the groups authorized to grant charters were government entities, the judge ruled, the day-to-day operations of schools were largely in the hands of privately elected directors and thus not directly accountable to the public. With this decision, the charter schools that had been established were left without public funding. In some cases, the schools reverted to private school status relying on tuitions and corporate donations for their support. In other cases, the state legislature, many of whose members believed that the judge's ruling would be overturned on appeal, passed emergency legislation which addressed the judge's objection to the original legislation."," In 1995, the state Board of Education contracted with the Michigan Partnership for New Education to both promote charter schools and to provide technical assistance to charter schools. The Michigan Partnership immediately asked for, and received, permission to hire the entire staff of MCCS in order to run their charter school operation. In May of 1995, MCCS ceased to operate, as its mission and staff were absorbed by the Michigan Partnership for New Education."," From its inception, TEACH Michigan knew that for real educational reform to take place from their point of view, the Michigan State Constitution (Article 8, sec. 2) would have to be revised. That provision restricted the use of public funds to government-operated schools only. With the constitution changed, TEACH Michigan hoped to secure passage of a voucher system so that parents might choose, and receive funding, for their child to attend a church-related school."," In 2000, the TEACH Michigan organization was folded into a new organization, Partnership for Learning.","This record group consists of two separate groupings (or subgroups) of records: the combined files of TEACH Michigan and TEACH Michigan Education Fund covering the period of 1989 to 1995, and files of the charter school support group, Michigan Center for Charter Schools covering the years 1994-1995. Both organizations operated out of the same office in Lansing and included some of the same individuals as board members. The TM/TMEF files consist in great part of papers of Dr. Paul N. DeWeese, a principal founder of the organization. The MCCS files are largely papers of executive director Barbara Barrett as well as DeWeese. Together, the record group contains correspondence, policy statements, organizational and activity files, collected materials, sound and video materials, all relating to the efforts of the two organizations first to educate and lobby for changes in the law, and second to provide assistance and support in the establishment of charter schools. The records date from the inception of the organization to 1995.

Arthur MacArthur (1845-1912) and Mary Pinkney Hardy (1852-1935). His siblings were Arthur (1876-1923), and Malcolm (1878-1883), who died before his seventh birthday. ","Douglas MacArthur graduated from West Texas Military Academy in 1897 as valedictorian and two years later entered West Point.  In 1903 he graduated as First Captain, West Point's highest honor.  In September 1903, he joined the 3rd Battalion Engineers in San Francisco, and almost immediately was sent to Manila, Philippines. The next year he was promoted to First Lieutenant, and in 1906 returned to the United States.  After being made Captain of Engineers at Leavenworth in 1911, MacArthur was assigned to Vera Cruz to report information to the War Department.  While serving as military aide to the Secretary of War in 1916, he conceived the idea of expanding the existing National Guard through volunteer enlistment and turned into combat divisions - an idea that would be used for the formation of the 42nd Division. ","In 1917, MacArthur was appointed Colonel and Chief of Staff of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division.  As Commander of the 84th Infantry Brigade, he led his troops during the vitally important Argonne Campaign in the last months of the war.  In 1919, the 42nd Division returned to the United States, and MacArthur accepted an appointment as Superintendent of West Point.  While there, he became permanent Brigadier General.  MacArthur married Louise Cromwell Brooks in 1922, the year he was posted to command the Philippine Division, but they divorced seven years later. In November 1929, MacArthur was promoted to General and chosen as the man to replace General Summerall as the Chief of Staff, U.S. Army.  In 1937, MacArthur married a second time - to Jean Marie Faircloth, and they had a son, Arthur, a year later. ","In December 1941, the Japanese Army attacked and defeated MacArthur's Philippine Army on the Bataan Peninsula.  The following March, MacArthur was ordered from the Philippines to command the Allied troops with Thomas Blamey.  For six months, MacArthur concentrated on the defense of New Guinea, which led to an ambitious counter-attack in January and February 1943.  On the day the Japanese surrendered, MacArthur was appointed Supreme Commander of Allied Powers. ","MacArthur remained in occupied Japan until 1950, orchestrating the reformation of the post-war country.  On the 29th of June, 1950, MacArthur went to South Korea with American forces to assess the situation after North Korea's invasion of South Korea.  This assessment led to Truman's commitment of U.S. troops to a ground war in Korea.  The North Koreans abandoned Seoul on September 28, 1950, after MacArthur's successful military plan to attack through Inchon.  As a result of the success of this campaign, China decided to enter the Korean War.  MacArthur was ordered by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with a U.N. resolution, to proceed north of the 38th parallel.  Chinese troops attacked, leading to the withdrawal of MacArthur's troops back south of the 38th.  By this time, MacArthur had disobeyed the military order to employ only Korean forces in the frontier provinces.  On the 24th of March, MacArthur issued a lengthy communiqué complaining about the restrictions on his forces and taunted the enemy for their lack of industrial power and inability to maintain even moderate air and naval power. This pronouncement and his previous insubordination caused President Truman to relieve MacArthur of his command. ","In April 1951, General Douglas MacArthur returned to San Francisco to thousands of cheering citizens.  On April 19 he presented his case regarding his relief of command to a joint session of congress.  During his remaining years, MacArthur traveled throughout the United States to make speeches, in which he often denounced communists and socialists, and spoke of corrupt administration and heavy taxation. At the age of 84, on April 5, 1964, Douglas MacArthur died in a hospital in Washington.","The 42nd (Rainbow) Division","The Rainbow Division was created in 1917 as a composite division of members of the Regular Army and the National Guard solely for use in the war in Europe.  The 42nd arrived in Europe in 1917 as the war was entering a new phase: Russia had dropped out of the war, America was joining the war, and Germany was racing to provide tremendous reinforcement before the American forces arrived. ","In February 1918 the 42nd Division, part of the First U.S. Army Corps, was ordered to the Luneville area for a month of training with French units from the 7th French Army Corps.  While there, the Rainbow Division distinguished itself as \"a first class combat Division.\" ","The first assignment for the 42nd was to relieve the 128th French Infantry Division from the Baccarat Sector.  In the war, this was the first time an American Division held a Sector on its own.  The Division successfully held the Baccarat Sector until relief orders were sent on June 16, 1918.  Two weeks later, the 42nd Division went to the front at the Battle of Champagne alongside the 21st French Army Corps.  After an attack by the Germans on the fifteenth of July, the 42nd assisted in the Champagne defense until the end of the battle (July 18).  The Sixth French Army Corps was given the Rainbow Division to pursue the supposedly retreating enemy at the Battle of the Ourcq from July 25-July 27, 1918. From July 28-August 1st, the Allies captured strongpoints of the German position.  August 2-August 3rd, the 42nd Division assisted in pursuing the enemy until relieved by the 4th Regular Division. ","After the Battle of the Ourcq, Douglas MacArthur was given command of the 84th Infantry Brigade (William Hughes, Jr., replaced him as Chief of Staff, 42nd Division).  In September, the Rainbow Division, then under the 4th American Army Corps, was ordered to attack the center of the south side of the San Mihiel Salient and was assigned to the defense of the Essey-Pannes Sector until September 30, when it was relieved by the 89th Division. ","On October 11-12, 1918, the Rainbow Division relieved the 1st Division on the Verdun front.  In order to break the 2nd German line of defense, the hill called The Cote de Chatillon had to be taken.  From October 13-16, Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur commanded the 84th Infantry Division to the successful capture of Hill 288 (a strongly fortified point on the Kreimhilde Stellung), the Tuilerie Ferme, and the Cote de Chatillon (beyond the enemy's strong line of resistance). ","The next attack took place November 1, 1918.  The 42nd Division provided machine gun fire for the advancement of the 2nd and 89th Divisions.  After this victory, and as a result of divisional rivalry (and a difference in opinion as to the exact nature of a memorandum), the 42nd and the 1st Divisions (of the First American Army Corps and the 5th American Army Corps respectively) 'raced' for the glory of partaking in the (potential) final engagement of the war, in Sedan.  On November 6-7, the Rainbow, the 4th French Army, and the 1st and 77th American Divisions, fought south of the Meuse (south of Sedan).  The fighting ended when the enemy requested an armistice on November 9, 1918.  The 42nd Division backed off and was able to claim that the Americans who got closest to Sedan were members of the 166th Infantry of the 83rd Infantry Brigade.  The armistice was signed two days later. ","The 42nd Division remained in France and occupied Germany until May 1, 1919, when the last unit arrived home. Less than two weeks later, the last Brigade was demobilized. ","The MacArthur collection contains 885 letters, documents, photographs, and published works dating from March 23, 1885, to July 5, 1983. The bulk of the material (710 items) consists of military documents and manuscript notes from September 8, 1917 to January 27, 1919.  ","The military materials include general orders, field orders, field messages, memoranda, intelligence, and communications, related to the U.S. 42nd Division (The Rainbow Division), A.E.F., founded in 1917.  The majority of the collection falls during the period of time from late 1917 to early August 1918, when Douglas MacArthur was Chief of Staff for the 42nd Division.  Documents from military units that fought alongside the 42nd Division (both French and American), the U.S. Chemical Warfare, and the Intelligence Divisions -- as well as various German, French, and American communications -- are included.  Organizational documents, such as training schedules, and march tables, are also present.  A considerable number, if not all, of these materials must have been approved or viewed by MacArthur, and many of the items in this collection bear his initials or the initials of his information assistant, William Hughes, Jr.  From early August 1918 until the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, MacArthur acted as the commanding officer for the 84th Infantry Brigade, and several military orders bear his name. ","Seventy-six letters in the collection (located in Box 1) are either from Douglas MacArthur or pertain in some way to him.  Six of these items, dated 1904, pertain to MacArthur and Florence Adams, whom he met in the Philippines, including a 46-page diary MacArthur wrote to Adams while he was on board a ship from Manila to the United States.  Five letters, dated 1921 and 1925, are written by MacArthur to Louise Brooks who became Mrs. Douglas MacArthur in 1922.  These letters contain both romantic content as well as personal reflections on the events in MacArthur's life at the time.  Also included are nine letters from MacArthur to Hamilton Fish, Jr., dated 1921-1934.  The remainder of the correspondence is a miscellaneous collection of letters written by Douglas MacArthur, Jean MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Harry S. Truman, and others.","The Douglas MacArthur collection also contains a notebook kept by Kenneth A. Sutherland, veteran of the 42nd Division, which contains a selection of items related to the Division's post-war activities and reunions; 40 aerial photographs and negatives taken by the 91st Reconnaissance Squadron, October 10, 1918; several photographs of Douglas MacArthur; thirteen published works by or about the General; and other miscellaneous materials.","The Douglas MacArthur collection is made up of military documents related to General Douglas MacArthur and the 42nd (Rainbow) Division during the first World War, and miscellaneous letters, documents, photographs, published works, and one diary illuminating various aspects of the General's public career and personal life.","William L.

As a result of the success of this campaign, China decided to enter the Korean War.  MacArthur was ordered by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with a U.N. resolution, to proceed north of the 38th parallel.  Chinese troops attacked, leading to the withdrawal of MacArthur's troops back south of the 38th.  By this time, MacArthur had disobeyed the military order to employ only Korean forces in the frontier provinces.  On the 24th of March, MacArthur issued a lengthy communiqué complaining about the restrictions on his forces and taunted the enemy for their lack of industrial power and inability to maintain even moderate air and naval power.

Arthur MacArthur (1845-1912) and Mary Pinkney Hardy (1852-1935). His siblings were Arthur (1876-1923), and Malcolm (1878-1883), who died before his seventh birthday. ","Douglas MacArthur graduated from West Texas Military Academy in 1897 as valedictorian and two years later entered West Point.  In 1903 he graduated as First Captain, West Point's highest honor.  In September 1903, he joined the 3rd Battalion Engineers in San Francisco, and almost immediately was sent to Manila, Philippines. The next year he was promoted to First Lieutenant, and in 1906 returned to the United States.  After being made Captain of Engineers at Leavenworth in 1911, MacArthur was assigned to Vera Cruz to report information to the War Department.  While serving as military aide to the Secretary of War in 1916, he conceived the idea of expanding the existing National Guard through volunteer enlistment and turned into combat divisions - an idea that would be used for the formation of the 42nd Division. ","In 1917, MacArthur was appointed Colonel and Chief of Staff of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division.  As Commander of the 84th Infantry Brigade, he led his troops during the vitally important Argonne Campaign in the last months of the war.  In 1919, the 42nd Division returned to the United States, and MacArthur accepted an appointment as Superintendent of West Point.  While there, he became permanent Brigadier General.  MacArthur married Louise Cromwell Brooks in 1922, the year he was posted to command the Philippine Division, but they divorced seven years later. In November 1929, MacArthur was promoted to General and chosen as the man to replace General Summerall as the Chief of Staff, U.S. Army.  In 1937, MacArthur married a second time - to Jean Marie Faircloth, and they had a son, Arthur, a year later. ","In December 1941, the Japanese Army attacked and defeated MacArthur's Philippine Army on the Bataan Peninsula.  The following March, MacArthur was ordered from the Philippines to command the Allied troops with Thomas Blamey.  For six months, MacArthur concentrated on the defense of New Guinea, which led to an ambitious counter-attack in January and February 1943.  On the day the Japanese surrendered, MacArthur was appointed Supreme Commander of Allied Powers. ","MacArthur remained in occupied Japan until 1950, orchestrating the reformation of the post-war country.  On the 29th of June, 1950, MacArthur went to South Korea with American forces to assess the situation after North Korea's invasion of South Korea.  This assessment led to Truman's commitment of U.S. troops to a ground war in Korea.  The North Koreans abandoned Seoul on September 28, 1950, after MacArthur's successful military plan to attack through Inchon.

","Moe Mitchell (panelist/interviewee):  A graduate of Howard\n                University, Moe Mitchell has established himself as an activist and musician in the\n                underground punk scene. His band Cipher, founded in 1996, is committed to opening\n                critical spaces in underground music to reawaken the legacy of dissent in today's\n                hardcore, weaving together elements of hardcore and metal with melodicism and\n                politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment of race, gender,\n                and class. Mitchell was one of the four artists profiled in James Spooner's 2003\n                documentary  Afro-punk , which explored issues of race\n                identity within the punk scene. Cipher was formed in 1996 by longtime friends who\n                wanted to bring something new to underground music. Elements of hardcore and metal\n                are woven with politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment\n                of race, gender, and class. Cipher's most recent album,  Children of God's Fire  (2005), was released to critical acclaim as \"an\n                unrelenting, neo-revolutionary musical statement, transcending genres and provoking\n                thoughts.\" As one reviewer put it, \"In front of ambitiously bruising slabs of\n                hardcore, Cipher front man Moe Mitchell ponders everything from patriarchy to the\n                pharmaceutical industry.\" Cipher released their second album,  The Joyous Collapse , in late 2009. ","Netic (panelist/interviewee)  is one of the founders as\n                well as the lead vocalist of the Brooklyn-born band Game Rebellion. Before rhyming\n                with Game Rebellion, he was a brain and cognitive sciences major at Massachusetts\n                Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he enrolled at the\n                age of sixteen. Game Rebellion is an all-Black, all-outta-Brooklyn band whose metal,\n                punk, and rudeboy skanking licks sound as credible and crunchy as their hip-hop\n                lyrics and head nodding bounce. The lyrical prowess and production of Netic provide\n                an unobstructed view of the angst of young rebels everywhere. Game Rebellion has\n                been making big waves on the New York scene for about three years. In that short\n                time they've ventured out even further to slam heads, rock houses and muddy the lily\n                white waters of hip-hop and rock from NYC and Cali to Puerto Rico and the UK. They\n                just may be the best-kept secret in music right now. Their album  Searching for Rick Rubin  (2008) explores classic hip-hop\n                songs originally produced by studio legend Rick Rubin, re-imagined in Game\n                Rebellion’s own style and mixed by J.period.

","Tamar-kali (panelist/interviewee): \n                Songwriter-vocalist-guitarist Tamar-kali came on the New York rock scene around 1993\n                while performing with the band Funkface. Shortly thereafter, she became the front\n                woman for Song of Seven, another New York-based rock band. Eventually, Tamar-kali's\n                strength as a woman in a male-dominated genre led to creative conflict and compelled\n                her toward her own expression as a songwriter and vocalist, which resulted into her\n                eclectic musical style. Her band 5ive Piece incorporates hard-core funk, melodic\n                guitar riffs, dissonant harmonies, even and odd-metered grooves and unorthodox song\n                forms. In addition to the instrumental styles of 5ive Piece, Tamar-kali's diverse\n                vocal range allows her to execute warm, round, dark and raspy tones from low to high\n                registers upon demand. She also performs with the string quartet Psycho Chamber\n                Ensemble, which performs renditions of songs by 5ive Piece as well as those arranged\n                and composed specifically for strings by Tamar-kali. Along with leading her diverse\n                ensembles and heading up her own production company, Flaming Yoni Productions,\n                Tamar-kali has worked with other artists in hip-hop and rock such as Outkast and\n                Fishbone. In addition to appearing in the film  Afro-punk , Tamar-kali has been featured in  Vibe ,  Fader  and  Village Voice  magazines. ","Greg Tate (panelist)  is an American author who has spent\n                the last two decades formulating a critical language that has redefined African\n                American cultural theory and writing. An essayist and long time staff writer for\n                     Village Voice , Tate has published widely, with\n                writings on art, music, and culture appearing in  The New York\n                    Times ,  Rolling Stone ,  The Washington Post ,  Spin ,  Artforum ,  The\n                    Nation ,  DownBeat , and Africa-based\n                magazines such as  Glendora Review  and  Chimurenga . The impact of Tate's writing lies in the\n                seminal productive tensions he navigates between post-structural theory and Black\n                cultural nationalism, academia and street culture. Tate has been inspired by Black\n                innovators such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, George Clinton, and the\n                artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Furthermore, Tate has defied fixed notions about what\n                constitutes authentic Black culture, and has inscribed a new radical trajectory that\n                is simultaneously rebellious yet intelligently written. Now in his 50s, Tate\n                continues to challenge cultural hegemony, writing on everything from hip-hop to\n                     YouTube . His books include  Flyboy in the Buttermilk  (1992),  Midnight\n                    Lightning : Jimi Hendrix and the Black Experience  (2003), and  Everything but the Burden : What White People Are Taking from\n                    Black Culture  (2003). He is also a founding member of the Black Rock\n                Coalition and the conductor and music director of Burnt Sugar, a band that fuses\n                jazz, rock, funk, and African music in a lyrical, exploratory and improvisational\n                manner. ","Kamara Thomas (panelist/interviewee),  along with Matt\n                Whyte, is one of the founding members of the band Earl Greyhound. Living and working\n                in New York City, the pair began performing regularly as a duo. All along, they were\n                crafting the sound and songs that would form the foundation for a colossal rock band\n                influenced by the strident English three- and four-pieces of the '70s, the dark pop\n                and heavy grooves of the '90s, and the transcendental, noisy acid sounds of modern\n                rock. The band's first full-length album,  Soft\n                    Targets , was recorded in Los Angeles and Brooklyn in 2005 and earned the\n                group many fans and critical acclaim from publications including  The New Yorker ,  Spin ,\n                     Rolling Stone ,  Brooklyn\n                    Vegan , and  Pitchfork . Even more so, the\n                band's live show quickly drew heaps of attention and gained a steady reputation\n                among critics and fans alike as a veritable rock-n-roll wrecking ball. Earl\n                Greyhound toured relentlessly for the next two years all over the U.S., Canada, and\n                Japan, and autumn 2007 was spent playing theatres as openers for the band's good\n                friend Shooter Jennings, as well as for Soundgarden and Audioslave's Chris Cornell.\n                In spring 2010 Earl Greyhound released their sophomore album  Suspicious Package .

She began\n                studying organ at the age of six and, as fate would have it, Thomas was given her\n                first music lessons and introduction to the organ by the great Jimmy Smith. Thomas\n                abandoned dental school at Ohio State to attend music school in Los Angeles. After\n                time in all-female groups such as School Boy Crush, Software, and PMS, Thomas formed\n                Crank, a 3-piece hard rock band that shared the stage with Ice T and Body Count,\n                Fishbone, and Macy Gray. Thomas has also been hired out as a guitarist to several\n                funk and R\u0026B bands, notably doubling on guitar and bass in the Grammy-winning\n                band A Taste of Honey. She took second place in the 7th annual Jimi Hendrix contest,\n                and played in Japan, France, and New York at various music festivals and events\n                including the Manhattan Music Center.

Shortly thereafter, she became the front\n                woman for Song of Seven, another New York-based rock band. Eventually, Tamar-kali's\n                strength as a woman in a male-dominated genre led to creative conflict and compelled\n                her toward her own expression as a songwriter and vocalist, which resulted into her\n                eclectic musical style. Her band 5ive Piece incorporates hard-core funk, melodic\n                guitar riffs, dissonant harmonies, even and odd-metered grooves and unorthodox song\n                forms.

She also performs with the string quartet Psycho Chamber\n                Ensemble, which performs renditions of songs by 5ive Piece as well as those arranged\n                and composed specifically for strings by Tamar-kali. Along with leading her diverse\n                ensembles and heading up her own production company, Flaming Yoni Productions,\n                Tamar-kali has worked with other artists in hip-hop and rock such as Outkast and\n                Fishbone.

Tate has been inspired by Black\n                innovators such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, George Clinton, and the\n                artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Furthermore, Tate has defied fixed notions about what\n                constitutes authentic Black culture, and has inscribed a new radical trajectory that\n                is simultaneously rebellious yet intelligently written. Now in his 50s, Tate\n                continues to challenge cultural hegemony, writing on everything from hip-hop to\n                    \u003ctitle render=\"italic\"\u003eYouTube\u003c/title\u003e.

His band Cipher, founded in 1996, is committed to opening\n                critical spaces in underground music to reawaken the legacy of dissent in today's\n                hardcore, weaving together elements of hardcore and metal with melodicism and\n                politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment of race, gender,\n                and class. Mitchell was one of the four artists profiled in James Spooner's 2003\n                documentary  Afro-punk , which explored issues of race\n                identity within the punk scene. Cipher was formed in 1996 by longtime friends who\n                wanted to bring something new to underground music. Elements of hardcore and metal\n                are woven with politically radical lyrics to form a provocative, probing treatment\n                of race, gender, and class. Cipher's most recent album,  Children of God's Fire  (2005), was released to critical acclaim as \"an\n                unrelenting, neo-revolutionary musical statement, transcending genres and provoking\n                thoughts.\" As one reviewer put it, \"In front of ambitiously bruising slabs of\n                hardcore, Cipher front man Moe Mitchell ponders everything from patriarchy to the\n                pharmaceutical industry.\" Cipher released their second album,  The Joyous Collapse , in late 2009.

Game Rebellion is an all-Black, all-outta-Brooklyn band whose metal,\n                punk, and rudeboy skanking licks sound as credible and crunchy as their hip-hop\n                lyrics and head nodding bounce. The lyrical prowess and production of Netic provide\n                an unobstructed view of the angst of young rebels everywhere. Game Rebellion has\n                been making big waves on the New York scene for about three years. In that short\n                time they've ventured out even further to slam heads, rock houses and muddy the lily\n                white waters of hip-hop and rock from NYC and Cali to Puerto Rico and the UK. They\n                just may be the best-kept secret in music right now. Their album  Searching for Rick Rubin  (2008) explores classic hip-hop\n                songs originally produced by studio legend Rick Rubin, re-imagined in Game\n                Rebellion’s own style and mixed by J.period.

By the turn of the millennium, The\n                Negro Problem was enjoying considerable success, receiving  Entertainment Weekly 's Album of the Year award in both 2000 and 2002.\n                In 2004, Stew and Heidi Rodewald received the support of the Sundance Institute and\n                The Public Theater to produce the musical  Passing\n                    Strange , which has had successful runs at the Berkeley Repertory\n                Theater, The Public Theater (NYC), and the Belasco Theatre on Broadway. More\n                recently, Spike Lee directed a film version of  Passing\n                    Strange , which is receiving glowing praise at film festivals and aired\n                on PBS in the spring of 2010.

","Tamar-kali (panelist/interviewee): \n                Songwriter-vocalist-guitarist Tamar-kali came on the New York rock scene around 1993\n                while performing with the band Funkface. Shortly thereafter, she became the front\n                woman for Song of Seven, another New York-based rock band. Eventually, Tamar-kali's\n                strength as a woman in a male-dominated genre led to creative conflict and compelled\n                her toward her own expression as a songwriter and vocalist, which resulted into her\n                eclectic musical style. Her band 5ive Piece incorporates hard-core funk, melodic\n                guitar riffs, dissonant harmonies, even and odd-metered grooves and unorthodox song\n                forms. In addition to the instrumental styles of 5ive Piece, Tamar-kali's diverse\n                vocal range allows her to execute warm, round, dark and raspy tones from low to high\n                registers upon demand. She also performs with the string quartet Psycho Chamber\n                Ensemble, which performs renditions of songs by 5ive Piece as well as those arranged\n                and composed specifically for strings by Tamar-kali. Along with leading her diverse\n                ensembles and heading up her own production company, Flaming Yoni Productions,\n                Tamar-kali has worked with other artists in hip-hop and rock such as Outkast and\n                Fishbone. In addition to appearing in the film  Afro-punk , Tamar-kali has been featured in  Vibe ,  Fader  and  Village Voice  magazines. ","Greg Tate (panelist)  is an American author who has spent\n                the last two decades formulating a critical language that has redefined African\n                American cultural theory and writing. An essayist and long time staff writer for\n                     Village Voice , Tate has published widely, with\n                writings on art, music, and culture appearing in  The New York\n                    Times ,  Rolling Stone ,  The Washington Post ,  Spin ,  Artforum ,  The\n                    Nation ,  DownBeat , and Africa-based\n                magazines such as  Glendora Review  and  Chimurenga . The impact of Tate's writing lies in the\n                seminal productive tensions he navigates between post-structural theory and Black\n                cultural nationalism, academia and street culture. Tate has been inspired by Black\n                innovators such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, George Clinton, and the\n                artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Furthermore, Tate has defied fixed notions about what\n                constitutes authentic Black culture, and has inscribed a new radical trajectory that\n                is simultaneously rebellious yet intelligently written. Now in his 50s, Tate\n                continues to challenge cultural hegemony, writing on everything from hip-hop to\n                     YouTube . His books include  Flyboy in the Buttermilk  (1992),  Midnight\n                    Lightning : Jimi Hendrix and the Black Experience  (2003), and  Everything but the Burden : What White People Are Taking from\n                    Black Culture  (2003).

","Kamara Thomas (panelist/interviewee),  along with Matt\n                Whyte, is one of the founding members of the band Earl Greyhound. Living and working\n                in New York City, the pair began performing regularly as a duo. All along, they were\n                crafting the sound and songs that would form the foundation for a colossal rock band\n                influenced by the strident English three- and four-pieces of the '70s, the dark pop\n                and heavy grooves of the '90s, and the transcendental, noisy acid sounds of modern\n                rock. The band's first full-length album,  Soft\n                    Targets , was recorded in Los Angeles and Brooklyn in 2005 and earned the\n                group many fans and critical acclaim from publications including  The New Yorker ,  Spin ,\n                     Rolling Stone ,  Brooklyn\n                    Vegan , and  Pitchfork . Even more so, the\n                band's live show quickly drew heaps of attention and gained a steady reputation\n                among critics and fans alike as a veritable rock-n-roll wrecking ball. Earl\n                Greyhound toured relentlessly for the next two years all over the U.S., Canada, and\n                Japan, and autumn 2007 was spent playing theatres as openers for the band's good\n                friend Shooter Jennings, as well as for Soundgarden and Audioslave's Chris Cornell.\n                In spring 2010 Earl Greyhound released their sophomore album  Suspicious Package .

She began\n                studying organ at the age of six and, as fate would have it, Thomas was given her\n                first music lessons and introduction to the organ by the great Jimmy Smith. Thomas\n                abandoned dental school at Ohio State to attend music school in Los Angeles. After\n                time in all-female groups such as School Boy Crush, Software, and PMS, Thomas formed\n                Crank, a 3-piece hard rock band that shared the stage with Ice T and Body Count,\n                Fishbone, and Macy Gray. Thomas has also been hired out as a guitarist to several\n                funk and R\u0026B bands, notably doubling on guitar and bass in the Grammy-winning\n                band A Taste of Honey. She took second place in the 7th annual Jimi Hendrix contest,\n                and played in Japan, France, and New York at various music festivals and events\n                including the Manhattan Music Center.

After two albums with that band, Tillery released her solo debut,\n                     Sweet Linda Divine , on CBS in 1970 to\n                enthusiastic reviews and high praise.

Having become a staff musician and producer at Olivia Records, Tillery\n                released her second solo album, a self-titled effort, on the label in 1978,\n                garnering a Bay Area Music Award for Best Independently Produced Album. Tillery has\n                twice gone on to win Bay Area Jazz awards for Outstanding Female Vocalist. In\n                subsequent years, Tillery collaborated with female musical powerhouses including\n                June Millington, Deidre McCalla, Barbara Higbie, and Margie Adam, as well as on the\n                Olivia Records 10th anniversary album,  Meg/Cris Live at\n                    Carnegie  (1983). In 1985, Tillery released  Secrets  on her own 411 label which returned her to center stage. In\n                recent years, she has assembled a large band, Skin Tight, which plays jazzy, funky\n                blues. She has also performed with the ZaSu Pitts Memorial Orchestra and has\n                branched out into radio, film, theater, and television commercials. She has worked\n                for the National Endowment for the Arts and appeared with artists ranging from\n                Santana, Kenny Loggins, and Huey Lewis to the Turtle Island String Quartet, Bobby\n                McFerrin, and Holly Near.

The conference and related activities were open to local and regional\n                musicians, scholars, students, and the general public.","Reclaiming the Right to Rock : Black Experiences in Rock\n                    Music  brought together Black rock musicians from different generations\n                and regions with music critics and scholars to discuss the socio-political history,\n                musical developments, and the future of Black rock. The main component of the\n                conference was a set of three panels, each exploring one of the following topics: 1)\n                the conceptualization and origins of Black rock; 2) the politics of Black rock; 3)\n                the face of Black rock in the 21st century.","The core panelists were those artists considered to be innovators and practitioners\n                of Black rock in the United States, including representatives from the East and West\n                Coasts such as Linda Tillery, Ike Willis, Tamar-kali, and Netic. The conference also\n                celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Black Rock Coalition, which was founded to\n                create \"a united atmosphere conducive to the maximum development, exposure, [and]\n                acceptance of Black alternative music.\"","In conjunction with the conference, the AAAMC also collaborated with a number of\n                units and organizations at Indiana University to arrange a series of film\n                screenings, concerts, and workshops, which were hosted on the Bloomington campus\n                during the conference weekend and throughout the Fall 2009 semester.","In addition to professionally videotaped footage of the three conference sessions,\n                the IU Union Board Concert, and one-on-one interviews with each of the panelists\n                (minus Greg Tate), a number of volunteers assisted with documenting the conference\n                and conference-related events.
