Ali\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nIn the decade following the collapse of Reconstruction a new movement arose in the South comprising black farmers\, sharecroppers\, and agrarian workers—a Black Populist movement. Organized through the Colored Farmers Alliance\, among other black-led labor groups\, mutual aid associations\, and black churches—and then expressed through the People’s Party\, African Americans across the South created an independent political movement of their own which at times connected with an adjacent white Populist movement\, and at other times diverged sharply from it. In this lecture we will explore this history. \n\n\n\nLed by Dr. Omar Ali\, author of In the Lion’s Mouth: Black Populism in the New South\, 1886-1900\, who serves as a dean and a professor of history and African American & African Diaspora studies (AADS) at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. \n\n\n\n\n\nScreenshot URL:https://aads.uncg.edu/event/black-populism-in-the-new-south-post-reconstruction-movement-making/ LOCATION:North Carolina CATEGORIES:Conversations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aads.uncg.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/BlackPopulism.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240623T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240623T143000 DTSTAMP:20260410T000307 CREATED:20240621T024440Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240621T025123Z UID:10000002-1719147600-1719153000@aads.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Unhiding History: A Florida Fort that Promised Freedom DESCRIPTION:Did you know that a prosperous\, self-governing community of free Black people existed on American soil before the Civil War?  This fascinating but little-known chapter in African-American history took place in the mostly unregulated swamplands of Spanish Florida\, before the territory became part of the United States. At the end of the War of 1812\, a regiment of Black soldiers who’d fought for Britain became instilled with abolitionist ideas and were left in command of a military fort at Prospect Bluffs\, FL. Over its years of existence\, the Fort grew to encompass houses and farmland and was a hub of trade with the local Seminole tribes. It also became a magnet for enslaved people across the border to flee plantations in Georgia\, Mississippi\, and Alabama — which led to the so-called ‘Negro Fort’ becoming a target for US military forces. The Fort’s destruction\, however\, was just one part of this community’s incredible story: the surviving inhabitants embarked on an epic journey across decades\, down the Florida peninsula and into the Caribbean\, clinging to papers and promises of freedom from the British Crown. \n\n\n\nTheatre-maker Brian Mullin first researched the Fort and its community on a Hearst Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society in 2018. Based in the UK\, Brian has just received seed funding from Kings College London\, along with director Tian Brown-Sampson\, to begin developing this transatlantic story into a theatre piece that also explores its resonance to later histories of Black Caribbeans and the British Empire. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn this story and share your own emotional and imaginative responses to it.

Often\, we don’t even share it with each other. Now that the teaching of Black History is under attack\, it is more important than ever that our untold histories are heard. This story-telling gathering is an invitation to share how your communities have celebrated Juneteenth over the years and to introduce each other to the histories our parents or grandparents made in the Civil Rights Movement\, the Labor Movement\, the Peace Movement\, the Women’s and Gay Liberation Movements\, the Black Lives Matter movement and beyond. \n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Dan Friedman\, historian\, playwright\, and life-long community organizer in this gathering to speak-out loud and proud our communities’ and families’ political histories. Come prepared to share your story\, a photo (if you have one)\, and\, if they’re down for it\, bring your family along!
