    Open AccessClayborne CarsonARTICLEDu Bois Review Social Science…2010

    Since meeting him three decades ago, John Hope Franklin has served as my best model for what a professional historian should be. Even as a graduate student, his writings were my beacon-a standard of scholarly excellence and social relevance to which I could aspire. Having never taken a course in African American history before entering graduate school, his authoritative text, From Slavery to Freedom, provided an overview of what I wanted to study…

  • Becoming King: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the making of a national leader

    Troy Jackson, Clayborne CarsonBOOKBecoming King2008

    Without question, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is the face of the civil rights revolution that reshaped the social and political landscape of the United States.

King arrived in Montgomery as a virtually unknown doctoral student, but his activities there—from …

  • Two Cheers for Brown v. Board of Education

    Clayborne CarsonARTICLEJournal of American History2004Cited by: 1

    My gratuitous opinion of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) is somewhat ambivalent and certainly arrives too late to alter the racial policies of the past fifty years. But for those of us who practice history, hindsight offers a far more reliable kind of wisdom than does foresight. We see clearly now that while the Brown decision informed the attitudes that have shaped contemporary American race relations, it did not resolve persistent disputes a…

    As its name suggests, the civil rights movement is an ongoing process, and the scholars contributing to this volume offer new geographical and temporal perspectives on this crucial American experience.
