Bibliography of theses and dissertations on African American topics completed at Berkeley.

• African American Theses and Dissertations 1907-2001. This bibliography lists 600 theses and dissertations on African American topics completed at the University of California, Berkeley. The earliest thesis, by Emmet Gerald Alexander, State Education of the Negro in the South, was completed in 1907 in the Department of Education, while the most recent date from the calendar year 2001. The African experience in the Americas is the connecting thread which links these works completed in thirty three disciplines over the past eight decades. This experience is construed in its widest sense; included therefore are studies of Blacks in the Caribbean and in Central and Latin America as well as in North America. Theses not indubitably on this subject as revealed by their titles have been examined; we have retained only titles either entirely or substantially devoted to this subject. The collection is on microfilm in News/Micro Microfilm 2030.E. The originals have been moved to NRLF.

Department of African and African American Studies

• Senior Thesis Guidelines

The Senior Thesis

This section provides basic guidelines and information on the senior honors thesis. However, in an interdisciplinary program such as African and African American Studies, concentrators should bear in mind that many students (especially joint concentrators) will want to use the guidelines of the major discipline in which their thesis falls. If students have any questions, they should ask their advisor or the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

The senior thesis is intended to be an essay that explores in depth a topic of interest to the student. Acceptable topics include exploring aspects of African or African American history, literature, culture, music, economics, politics, or sociology and any analysis in which an African or African American subject matter is a significant item of comparison. Possible topics should be discussed early with thesis advisors (or the Director of Undergraduate Studies). It is a good idea to prepare the prospectus well before deadlines.

A thesis, by definition, is a proposition, an assertion, supported by arguments, not a mere collection of data. This does not mean that students must start their research with a definite theme or statement. It means that when students have finished their research, they should systematically try to arrange their material in such a way that the reader will be aware of their purpose and direction.

Therefore, students should define in the thesis introduction the problems with which they are going to deal and explain in what way and in what order they plan to discuss those issues. Every part of the body of the thesis should be part of an argument. Just as the reader should never be in doubt about what the writer is trying to prove, so the thesis writer should never be in doubt about how a particular fact or point fits into the development of the thesis. Finally, in the thesis conclusion, students should restate the main points they have made in the course of the thesis and briefly summarize the developments leading to these main points or lessons.

Students should address themselves to a well-informed reader. Facts or ideas likely to be familiar to such a reader need not be fully written out. In addition, try to avoid repetitions and irrelevancies, both in your arguments and in your selection of facts.

Social Engagement Thesis

Students also have the option to write a social engagement thesis. The Social Engagement thesis encourages students to think “outside the box” and incorporate academic work with social entrepreneurship. For more information about the Social Engagement Thesis, please visit the  Social Engagement Thesis page. 

Text should be printed on only one side of the sheet, and except for quotations of more than about 50 words and footnotes, should be double-spaced.  Recommended margins are as follows:

• top and bottom margins - one inch
• left margin - two inches
• right margin - one inch

If footnotes are typed at the bottom of the page, a continuous line should be drawn from the left margin to the right margin, separating the text from the footnotes. All text pages should be numbered.

Acknowledgments

Footnotes and bibliography.

Footnoting presents problems of judgment and mechanics. Practices of when and where to use footnotes can vary. In general, students should note any statement of fact that varies from what the reader might expect or from standard chronologies (students need not footnote every quote, close paraphrase, or conclusion derived from another author, so long as the source is cited in the essay or its bibliography and the student's dependence on it is clear). Students may use a footnote to amplify a disagreement with another author or to provide some bibliographical orientation. If it remains clear what parts in a paragraph are attributable to their respective sources, students may use a note with multiple references at the end of a paragraph. It is often easier, however, to put the note number right after the relevant material.

In matters of form, the department counsels following either Kate L. Turbian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations (University of Chicago Press) or Joseph Gibaldi and Walter S. Achtert's MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Theses and Dissertations (Modern Language Association). Students may find standard social science citations or the MLA guidelines best suited for a thesis which uses a small number of sources repeatedly. The new MLA guidelines permit you to distinguish indications of sources from argumentative footnotes and make the composition of the bibliography easier.

Students should be consistent no matter what format they choose. Notes may be placed at the bottom of each page or at the end of the thesis. Under no circumstances should footnotes be listed at the end of chapters. Footnotes should be single-spaced and be numbered consecutively by page or by chapter.

Deadline Senior theses are due by 5pm ET on Friday, March 8, 2024.   Submission Method (Electronic & Print) All African and African American Studies concentrators (full, joint, primary, and secondary) should submit electronic and print versions of the thesis (.pdf format) to Professor Jesse McCarthy – Director of Undergraduate Studies and Keirsten Melbourne – Graduate and Undergraduate Studies Coordinator through e-mail at : [email protected] and [email protected]   “Print copies are required this year”

All theses must be submitted to the Department of African and African American Studies. Extensions may be granted by the advisor only in cases of dire emergency, such as illness, over which the student could have no control. The Director of Undergraduate Studies (Professor Vincent Brown) should be informed as soon as possible. The burden of proof is on the student.

Professor Jesse McCarthy , Director of Undergraduate Studies

[email protected]

Theses will be read and commented upon by faculty members using a higher standard than would be appropriate for term papers written for courses or tutorials. They will be graded on an English honors scale ranging from Honors Minus to Highest Honors. Since each thesis is read by two or more readers who may grant it different grades, the final grade for the thesis is determined by vote of the African and African American Studies faculty based on the thesis readers' evaluations. If a student is a joint concentrator, then the Department of African and African American Studies consults with the department of the joint concentration in reaching a final honors grade. The thesis grading scale is as follows:

As indicated before, whether a student graduates with Latin honors is determined on an individual basis and depends not only on a student's thesis grade but also on his/her overall grade point average for all courses taken at the College. (Concentrators are encouraged to discuss their individual cases with the Director of Undergraduate Studies). If the average grade of the thesis is High Honors or better, a laser-printed copy will be sent to the Archives and only the second copy will be returned to the author. Theses and copies of reader evaluations will be available for students to pick up on or before May 15. Please contact the Undergraduate Officer for updates on the return of theses and reader evaluations. A copy of theses not called for by students will either be kept in the Raines Library in the Department of African and African American Studies or destroyed.

"The (Mis)Education of Black Harvard: The fight for African American studies 1963" by Sydney Lewis ‘22

Interview conducted by Santy Mendoza ‘23

Sydney Lewis '22 (she/hers) is a senior in Quincy House studying African-American Studies and History of Science with a secondary in Astrophysics and language citation in Spanish. She is from Jacksonville, FL and was inspired to intern at the Harvard Foundation to help make Harvard more accountable to its students of color. Outside of the Harvard Foundation, she is Co-President of the Harvard Undergraduate Black Health Advocates and does research for the Harvard and Legacy of Slavery Initiative. In her free time you can find her roller skating, running a fashion blog, looking at the night sky, and petting every dog that crosses her path.

Santy: Can you give a quick introduction of yourself?

Sydney: I'm Sydney Lewis a senior studying a joint concentration in African American studies and history, science, and a secondary and astrophysics with a citation in Spanish.

Santy: What’s the title of your thesis? 

Sydney: My thesis is titled (Mis)Education of black Harvard: The fight for African American studies 1963. It's a reference to Carter G Woodson’s 1933 book on Black education so it's kind of like a play on words in that sense and it's not a reference to the Lauryn hill album which everyone thinks it's a reference to.

Santy Mendoza: What's the topic of your thesis and why did you pursue it?

Sydney Lewis: So my thesis is about the African and African American studies department at Harvard specifically the circumstances leading up to its creation in 1969 as well as kind of the power struggles and contestations experienced by the department in its early years of existence at Harvard. And so I wanted to pursue this for a lot of reasons, one reason was mainly that this is like the outcome of some research that I did the summer after my first year I did at the research village at Harvard and I was doing a lot of archival research to kind of tell the story of the African American studies department at Harvard. That was really an important moment academically for me because it made me want to switch my major to African American studies, so I did. Also, it just kind of naturally grew into my thesis because I just had done so much archival work and I knew that I wanted to make something of it. Also as an African American studies major, it holds personal and academic stakes, for me so I've always kind of wanted to explore my positionality in relation to my academic field. As an African American at Harvard studying African American studies, I grew really interested in the origins of the field of black studies and how specifically it came to be at Harvard, which is the nation's most prestigious. Ivy league undergraduate liberal arts colleges have been embedded in a lot of violence against black people and so there's a lot of questions about how we grapple with all of that, and I felt like this thesis would be a really great way for me to research and explore and answer some of those questions okay.

Santy Mendoza: What do you think your main findings were or what was the most interesting thing that you like learned?

Sydney Lewis: I think my thesis makes an original contribution to the literature around black studies because so much of the existing work focuses on the like activism to form black studies and African American studies departments and my thesis kind of expands on that. Expands on that work in order to really concern itself with the issues that took place after. So kind of framing the department's founding as the beginning of a struggle for equity and recognition in the Academy for black thought and Black scholarship. So kind of asking those questions about how questions of power and interdisciplinary collaboration and orientation towards the university and how that has been historically constructed and how the socio-cultural and political era of the late 1960s and early 1970s shaped the early construction of the department. My main conclusion questions the kind of considerations that went into the founding of the African and African American studies program at Harvard and are still ongoing and relevant today. A lot of people just see it as something that happened 50 years ago, but what my thesis is arguing is that the struggle to make legible and legitimate the history and culture, and lives of the people of the African diaspora, is one of challenging dominant epistemologies and dominant knowledge-making processes. Which you know are historically like euro hegemony and a way to address that failure of existing scholarship to adequately acknowledge black contributions, and so I feel like the African and African American studies department is continuing to do that work of scholarly commitment and study of the marginalized and dispossessed. This is a very important contribution, especially in an academic circle like Harvard, which is very white male-dominated.

Santy Mendoza: What was the research process like for your thesis?

Sydney Lewis: Oh, my gosh it was a lot, but I would say, first of all, just hours and hours spent in the Harvard University archives looking at old newspapers, old course catalogs, old photos, and correspondence magazines. Another part was reviewing the literature. Reading a lot of contemporary and also historical work about the field of African American studies. There's kind of a lot of existing literature about the field of black studies and kind of a lot of interesting angles to it, so I just really immersed myself in that. Another important part was an interview with Skip Gates, who was the head of the department in the 90s, and he is currently a brilliant brilliant man and he teaches the introductory African American studies course at Harvard. So talking to him was such an honor and he has so much knowledge about how the department functions and its purpose and its placement within the university. 

Santy Mendoza: What kept you motivated throughout the entire process?

Sydney Lewis: I was honestly really internally motivated; I love my thesis topic. I think that I chose a topic very intentionally so that I was very, very passionate about it and would not get easily bored of it. Because I know people who hate their topics and like it's such a chore for them, but for me I never felt super burned out. My thesis topic is something that I think about all the time and it isn't an easily resolvable question. I also am a history nerd, I'm a history buff I really love this kind of stuff, and as someone who's studying African American studies at Harvard, I was learning about something that was relevant to me. I was studying the past but for me, it was all remarkably present, and so my motivation was a kind of self-discovery and curiosity.

Santy Mendoza: um The next question is like who we are main supporters throughout your thesis writing journey.

Sydney Lewis: My thesis advisor 100%.  My thesis advisor her name is Aaron Friedman, she's a Ph.D. student in the history of science department and she was just so great. She really believed in me at times when I fully did not believe in myself or in my work. She was always there to reassure me and tell me that I had a story to tell, and that was really, really important to me.

Obviously, my friends at Harvard were literally indispensable to me, especially my other senior friends who were also writing theses. That is one piece of advice, I will say if you're writing a thesis, make friends or find friends who are also writing theses because that will be your support network, and people who aren't writing don't really understand what it's like. Friends will always help you get through hard times and I think my fellow history of science concentrators also were really helpful and supportive and kind. Just always willing to give advice or answer questions. My family, the work that they've done that has been put into the thesis is like invisible, it's been happening for literally 21 years to get me to this point. A lot of the reason why I wrote this thesis and I believed that I could, was because of my family. They instilled a lot of pride in my black identity and in the importance of education and that really made me feel like this thesis was not only doable but really important. 

Santy Mendoza: How did your work at the Harvard foundation impact or relate to your thesis topic?

Sydney Lewis: The foundation's purpose is to facilitate intercultural relations and awareness and respect within Harvard so I think that commitment and that dedication to humanize each other and to empathize across cultures, and especially to uplift the marginalized is very personally important to me. It is also very much related to my thesis topic because a lot of my thesis centers on narratives about the value and the worth of black life and culture and knowledge through the African and African American studies department. My thesis really speaks to understanding the systemic exclusion from academic circles. I wanted to create that narrative and honor the contributions of the activists and the advocates who came before us, which I think is really related to the foundation's mission. Also to emphasize the contributions of those who have historically been deemed unworthy of taking up space, and so, the Afro-American studies department is really fundamentally about claiming territory in the landscape of curriculum and so, in doing that it's a way of making a social impact and it's a way of engaged scholarship. The foundation's mission is to increase understanding and to increase specifically racial understanding and to commit itself to respect for all people.

Santy Mendoza: Do you have any advice for future thesis writers?

Sydney Lewis: Yes, oh my gosh so much advice! I think I already shared some earlier but I'll go through them quickly. Like I said before, choose a topic that you really love learning more about because you will learn a lot about it and you have to become an expert in your topic. So that's probably the most important piece of advice I can offer honestly. I will also say to start writing early. You don't need to have everything figured out before you start writing and sometimes the motivation and the inspiration aren't there and it's not always going to be there right away. I will also say to understand that you can't do it all. My thesis is ambitious, but it was even more ambitious. You need to humble yourself sometimes and realize that your work can be a really important contribution to the literature but, ultimately, there are limits. Sometimes it's better to do less, sometimes less is more. Constraints aren't always a bad thing, and I think it's actually sometimes better to tell a smaller story in a lot of depth and detail, instead of just trying to do it all. So that's another piece of advice and then my last piece would just be to take care of yourself and your mental health during the whole process of writing a thesis. It’s something that you know is going to be challenging and it's going to ask a lot of you but ultimately, your well-being needs to come before any academic endeavor anything and that includes your thesis. So if you can always balance your thesis with your other interests and with friends and family and hobbies and find times to still do things that you love. I think that's just something that I wish I had listened to, especially during the last week of thesis writing. Just remember, you are doing great and wonderful work, and don't compare your work to other people's theses. So yeah, I will just say take care of yourself, first and foremost, is my last piece of advice.

How to Choose a Thesis Topic

Selecting a fitting and feasible thesis topic is a crucial first step for any graduate student. The choice of a thesis topic not only determines the direction of your academic journey but also impacts your motivation, career trajectory, and the contribution you will make to your field of study. Therefore, understanding how to effectively choose a thesis topic is foundational to your success both as a student and as a budding scholar.

What Makes a Good Thesis Topic

• Relevance: A good thesis topic should be relevant to current issues or questions in your field. It should aim to fill a gap in knowledge or contribute to ongoing debates among scholars. Relevance ensures that your research findings will be of interest to others in your discipline and could potentially influence future research, policy, or practice.
• Originality: Originality involves bringing new insights or proposing a novel approach to a problem. It doesn’t necessarily mean venturing into a completely unexplored territory but can involve taking a fresh perspective on existing questions. A thesis that introduces original concepts or challenges established norms tends to stand out and captivate the interest of the academic community.
• Manageability: A feasible thesis topic is one that can realistically be researched and completed within the constraints of your resources, time frame, and academic requirements. Manageability requires careful consideration of the scope of the research and the availability of data and methods needed to conduct it effectively.
• Interest and passion: Passion fuels perseverance, which is crucial in the long and sometimes daunting process of completing a thesis. Choosing a topic that genuinely interests you will keep you engaged and motivated during your research journey. It also often leads to more profound and insightful scholarly work because you are more likely to go above and beyond in exploring something you care deeply about.

Moving from a Thesis Idea to a Thesis Topic

• Initial brainstorming techniques: Begin by jotting down various ideas that spark your interest. This initial phase is about exploring broadly and creatively without restricting your thoughts. Use mind mapping, lists, or free-writing techniques to generate and record ideas as they come to you.
• Narrowing down ideas based on research feasibility and interest: Once you have a list of potential ideas, evaluate each based on how interesting they are to you and how feasible they are in terms of research scope and resources available. Discard ideas that are too broad, too narrow, or not sufficiently supported by available data or methods.
• Importance of preliminary research: Conducting preliminary research is essential to determine if there is enough existing material to support your topic. This research can also reveal whether your idea has already been extensively covered, prompting you to adjust your angle or approach to ensure originality.

Connecting a Specific Thesis Topic to a Bigger Idea

• Aligning the topic with broader themes and research questions: Your thesis should not only address a specific issue but also connect to larger conceptual or empirical questions in your field. This alignment helps to position your research within broader scholarly conversations and enhances its impact and relevance.
• Ensuring the topic contributes to the field: The best thesis topics are those that contribute something valuable and substantive to their disciplines. Your topic should promise to provide insights, solutions, or new understandings that will add to the knowledge base of your field.

How to Refine Your Thesis Topic

• Seeking feedback from advisors and peers: Regular feedback is invaluable in refining your topic. Advisors can provide perspective on the significance and feasibility of your topic, while peers might offer fresh ideas or pose questions you hadn’t considered.
• Refining research questions: As you delve deeper into your topic, refine your research questions to ensure they are clear, focused, and answerable within the scope of your study. This might involve narrowing or sometimes slightly broadening the scope of your inquiry.
• Adjusting the scope of research: Based on feedback and preliminary findings, adjust the scope of your research as needed to ensure that it remains manageable and within the bounds of available resources, time, and academic requirements.

Choosing and refining a thesis topic is a dynamic and iterative process that requires thoughtful consideration, preliminary research, and ongoing adjustments. The journey from a broad idea to a refined research question involves not only identifying a subject that is relevant, original, and manageable but also one that ignites your passion and curiosity. By following these steps and continually seeking feedback, you can ensure that your thesis will be a meaningful and rewarding endeavor.

Tim Walz wrote a master’s thesis on Holocaust education, just as his own school’s approach drew criticism

In Judi Agustin’s freshman year at Mankato West High School, her teacher instructed her to wear a yellow star.

It was part of a Holocaust curriculum at the school, located in a remote area of Minnesota with barely any Jews. For a week, freshmen were asked to wear the yellow stars, which were reminiscent of the ones the Nazis made the Jews wear. Seniors played the part of the Gestapo, charged with persecuting the “Jews.”

Unlike everyone else in her class in the 2001-2002 school year, Agustin was Jewish. The experience “was incredibly hurtful and offensive and scary,” she recalled on Tuesday. Her father complained to the district, and wrote a letter to the local paper decrying the lesson.

In response, she recalled, a teacher intervened. That teacher, according to her recollection: current vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.

“When Tim Walz found out about it, he squashed it real quick, and as far as I understand they never did it again,” Agustin told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “So he was an advocate for my experience, as one of four Jewish kids in the entire school district. And I always felt like he had our back.”

A progressive favorite in Minnesota, where he is now governor, Walz is also heralded for his background as a public school educator. Lesser known is the fact that, while teaching in rural, largely white Midwestern school districts, Walz developed a particular interest in Holocaust and genocide education.

Walz is on the campaign trail this week with Vice President Kamala Harris, his running mate, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment. JTA could not independently verify that he was the teacher who stopped the Mankato West lesson.

But it’s clear that how to teach the Holocaust well has occupied Walz for decades. In 1993, while teaching in Nebraska, he was part of an inaugural conference of U.S. educators convened by the soon-to-open U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Eight years later, after moving to Minnesota, he wrote a thesis arguing for changes in Holocaust education. And as governor, he backed a push to mandate teaching about the Holocaust in Minnesota schools.

Through it all, Walz modeled and argued for careful instruction that treated the Holocaust as one of multiple genocides worth understanding.

“Schools are teaching about the Jewish Holocaust, but the way it is traditionally being taught is not leading to increased knowledge of the causes of genocide in all parts of the world,” Walz wrote in his thesis, submitted in 2001.

The thesis was the culmination of Walz’s master’s degree focused on Holocaust and genocide education at Minnesota State University, Mankato, which he earned while teaching at Mankato West. His 27-page thesis, which JTA obtained, is titled “Improving Human Rights and Genocide Studies in the American High School Classroom.”

In it, Walz argues that the lessons of the “Jewish Holocaust” should be taught “in the greater context of human rights abuses,” rather than as a unique historical anomaly or as part of a larger unit on World War II. “To exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students’ ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and the ability to apply them elsewhere,” he wrote.

He then took a position that he noted was “controversial” among Holocaust scholars: that the Holocaust should not be taught as unique, but used to help students identify “clear patterns” with other historical genocides like the Armenian and Rwandan genocides.

Walz was describing, in effect, his own approach to teaching the Holocaust that he implemented in Alliance, Nebraska, years earlier. In the state’s remote northwest region, Walz asked his global geography class to study the common factors that linked the Holocaust to other historical genocides , including economic strife, totalitarian ideology and colonialism. The year was 1993. At year’s end, Walz and his class correctly predicted that Rwanda was most at risk of sliding into genocide.

“The Holocaust is taught too often purely as a historical event, an anomaly, a moment in time,” Walz Told the New York Times in 2008, reflecting on those Alliance lessons. “That relieves us of responsibility. Obviously, the mastermind was sociopathic, but on the scale for it to happen, there had to be a lot of people in the country who chose to go down that path.”

In his thesis, he noted that he intended to bring this curriculum to the Mankato school district as a “sample unit.” But another kind of lesson was unfolding there at the same time.

For years at Mankato West, high school students had been engaged in a peculiar lesson that was, all the same, not unusual for its time: In an effort to teach students who had never met a Jewish person what it might have been like to live under the Nazis, teachers had them role play.

For a week, freshmen wore the yellow stars, and seniors playing the Gestapo were given permission to torment them.

Such lessons had been going on since at least the 1990s, recalled Leah Solo, a Jewish student who graduated from Mankato West in 1998. For Solo, these lessons weren’t so bad.

“People knew I was Jewish, people knew to be sensitive around me,” Solo told JTA. Her teacher, who was not Walz and whom she liked, “was doing his best to try to teach a really hard subject to folks who had no idea. Most of these kids had never met a Jew before.” In her senior year she was given the choice of whether she wanted to play a Nazi or another kind of role, and chose the latter.

Things were different by the time Agustin took the class several years later. By then, the Holocaust role-playing wasn’t just limited to the confines of the classroom.

“They could come up to you in the lunchroom,” recalled Anne Heintz, a fellow student at the time. Local students whispered about the lesson before they got to high school, she said.

One senior, in Agustin’s recollection, got violent and started shoving the “Jewish” freshmen into lockers.

Outraged, her father wrote a letter to the local newspaper, and some parents complained to the school district. Agustin left the high school after her sophomore year. None of this happened in Walz’s classroom, according to the students, and Heintz recalled that the lessons had ended by the time she graduated in 2004.

“I’m not sure what his involvement was. I know it just ended,” Heintz, who is not Jewish, told JTA. “He was teaching at the time it ended.”

JTA could not verify whether Walz knew about the lessons, which had been going on for years, before they were stopped. A spokesperson for the high school told JTA they “don’t have any information” on the details of the lessons, but noted, “When Governor Walz was at Mankato West High School he was primarily a Global Geography Teacher and Football Coach. Subjects such as the Holocaust were taught in history courses.”

Agustin’s father, Stewart Ross, told JTA that he did not recall Walz being involved. Neither did Bob Ihrig, one of the teachers who taught the lesson as part of a World War II unit. He said it continued in a limited, classroom-only version until his retirement in 2014.

Ross, Ihrig and all three Mankato West High students spoke highly of Walz as a teacher and community leader, though only one, Heintz, actually had him in the classroom.

“What I remember most is, he always made all the subjects that we talked about super engaging,” she said. “It always seemed like he was able to make a subject really exciting for folks and really engage everyone in class. And I think that is part of how he speaks now that he’s on a national stage as well.”

Solo, who had Walz’s wife Gwen for a different class, took a student trip led by the couple to China, where Tim Walz taught for a year early in his career. She recalled how, in 2004, Walz stood up for her when she was working with John Kerry’s presidential campaign and security for a George W. Bush rally tried to boot them from the premises.

“When security also tried to kick him out, he was like, ‘I am a former Teacher of the Year who just returned from being deployed. I don’t think you want to kick me out,’” Solo recalled, describing an incident that made local news at the time. “And then after the rally, he came and signed up to volunteer with the Kerry campaign, because he did not appreciate that.”

Volunteering with Kerry’s campaign led directly to Walz’s entrance into politics . Solo would go on to work for Walz’s congressional campaigns.

Walz stuck with teaching as he began his political career; when he was elected to represent Mankato in 2006, he was the only active educator in Congress.

Last year, as Minnesota’s governor, Walz returned to Holocaust education, and supported and signed a law requiring the state’s middle and high schools to teach about the Holocaust. The law, initiated and championed by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, also encourages schools to teach about other genocides. A working group for the curriculum hit snags earlier this summer when a pro-Palestinian activist was removed from the committee amid debates on whether Israel’s conduct in Gaza constitutes genocide.

The mandate is still anticipated to go into effect in the 2025-2026 school year. “This is going to work out, this is going to be good, because the governor and his staff are highly attuned to the concerns and sensitivities of the Jewish community,” Ethan Roberts, the JCRC’s deputy executive director, told JTA.

Speaking at a JCRC event in June, Walz said he had been “privileged and proud” to have participated in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum training early in his career. But he said more needed to be done, and he emphasized that the curriculum chosen to accomplish the requirement would determine its success.

“We need to do better on Holocaust education. We need to do better on ethnic studies,” he told the crowd. “And I tell you this as a teacher and as governor, too, we don’t need test scores or anything to tell us that we’re failing.”

It was the kind of message that former Mankato West students said they came to expect from him.

“He is what you hope a great teacher is,” said Solo, “which is someone who’s not only teaching, but also learning at all times.”

With additional reporting by Jackie Hajdenberg. 

Correction and updates (Aug. 8): This story has been corrected to remove a reference to Tim Walz as department chair. It has also been updated to reflect additional sources about Holocaust instruction at Mankato West High School.

Black Book Community Hopes New Release Will Lead to Marcus Garvey's Exoneration

Two years after a group of Black booksellers and publishers collaborated with the Caribbean-American Political Action Committee to obtain 100,000 signatures on a global petition asking President Joe Biden to pardon political activist Marcus Garvey 101 years after his conviction for mail fraud, Broadleaf Books is publishing Justice for Marcus Garvey: Look for Me in the Whirlwind , edited by Garvey’s youngest son, Dr. Julius Garvey. The November release is a compilation of essays about Garvey’s life and legacy. The publisher and others associated with the book and the petition drive hope that the release of Justice for Marcus Garvey , amplified by the anticipated publicity around its launch, will galvanize the White House into finally exonerating Garvey. According to its organizers, the 2022 petition drive garnered more than the required 100,000 signatures within a 30-day window of time from people all over the world. The White House has yet to respond.

Garvey, a leading Black nationalist and Pan-Africanist in the early 20th century, was convicted of mail fraud in 1923. He spent two years in prison before being deported to his Jamaican homeland. He died in the U.K. in 1940, when Julius Garvey was seven years old.

Several individuals well-known in the book world contributed essays to Justice for Marcus Garvey . Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote the foreword, and his father, Paul Coates, the publisher of Black Classic Press who spearheaded the coalition of what he says were 30 to 40 booksellers and six or seven publishers that participated in the petition drive, wrote about Garvey’s continuing impact upon the bookselling and publishing communities. Haki R. Madhubuti, publisher of Third World Press; Kassahun Checole, president and publisher of Africa World Press and the Red Sea Press; and Wade Hudson of Just Us Books also contributed essays. Bookseller contributors include Ramunda Lark Young, co-owner of MahoganyBooks in Washington, D.C., who wrote of her bookstore’s participation in the campaign to exonerate Garvey; James Fugate of Eso Won Books in Los Angeles, who wrote about Garvey’s importance to Black bookstores; and Shrikiana Gerima of Sankofa Video and Bookstore and Café in Washington, D.C., who wrote about Garvey’s impact on Black literature as well as activism in the U.S., Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.

“This effort goes back 100 years to the time Marcus Garvey was convicted,” Coates told PW. “We are going to do whatever we can or need to do from a bookselling or publishing perspective to support this work, because Marcus Garvey is that important to us. He’s still one of the most well-known Black men in the world; until Muhammed Ali, he was the most well-known Black man in the world. This book is a testament to the passion for Marcus Garvey felt around the world.” Coates also noted that the 2022 collaboration between Black booksellers and publishers with the Caribbean-American C-PAC was “the first time Black publishers and booksellers got together and took a political position in this country.”

For her part, Dr. Goulda Downer of Howard University's Center of Excellence, who led the Caribbean-American C-PAC until her eight-year term ended in 2023, hopes that the book not only galvanizes the White House into acting, but will also introduce a new generation to Garvey. "The pain is still here," she said. When Julius Garvey, who is 91, told her, "'I want to see my daddy’s name cleared before I die,’ I got goosebumps," she aid. "No matter how busy I am—and I am busy—and no matter what I have to do—and I have a lot to do— I’m all in. I’m still all in. 'I want to see my daddy’s name cleared before I die'—that was enough for me."

Broadleaf Books promoted Justice for Marcus Garvey at the National Association of African American Librarians’ annual meeting in New Orleans this past weekend and has scheduled a pre-launch virtual roundtable for Black booksellers on Oct. 8 that will feature Julius Garvey, Coates, and Downer, as well as other notables, including Dr. Diane Richards of the Harlem Writer’s Guild and Troy Johnson of the African American Literature Book Club.
