"Ordinary People/Extraordinary Times" a talk w/ Julian Bond & Deborah McDowell

Each year that Julian Bond begins his large lecture course on the History of the Civil Rights Movement, the first order of business is challenging what he terms “the American Civil Rights narrative.” Etched in popular memory and imagination, this narrative reduces the Civil Rights movement to larger-than-life, iconic personalities known primarily for delivering dramatic speeches and leading public demonstrations that often sparked scenes of violence. The narrative Bond teaches is “much broader, much richer, and much deeper,” he suggests, even as its roots are “regional” and “local.” The movement’s participants, he adds, “weren’t the famous; they were the nameless—ordinary people who in extraordinary times did extraordinary things.” Deborah McDowell’s memoir Leaving Pipe Shop provides just such a regionally and locally based account of the Civil Rights Movement as it unfolded in a small, working-class community on the outskirts of Birmingham, Alabama, one populated with the very ordinary people Bond is careful to include in his lectures. This evening’s event features a conversation between Julian Bond and Deborah McDowell moderated by Professor Tera Hunter of Princeton University. Join them as they discuss the Civil Rights Movement in history and memory. Bios can be viewed at http://uvaclubs.virginia.edu/ newyorkmcdowellbio and http:// uvaclubs.virginia.edu/newyorkbondbio.
