Beyond the Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee and Scholars at Black Colleges

Beyond the Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee and Scholars at Black Colleges

“Our constitution keeps the South from passing many of the laws Hitler has invoked against the Jews, but by indirection, by force and terrorism, the south and Nazi Germany are mental brothers.” –From an editorial in the Afro-American, February 22, 1936

Beyond the Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee and Scholars at Black Colleges

By the time World War II began on September 1, 1939, Germany had purged itself of its Jewish professors, scientists, and scholars. Some of these academics, deprived of their livelihoods by the Nazis, found refuge in the United States. But in this new world, they faced an uncertain future.
A few dozen refugee scholars unexpectedly found positions in historically black colleges in the American South. There, as recent escapees from persecution in Nazi Germany, they came face to face with the absurdities of a rigidly segregated Jim Crow society. In their new positions, they met, taught, and interacted with students who had grown up in, and struggled with, this racist environment.

Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow explores the unlikely coming together of these two groups, each the object of exclusion and hatred, and examines the ongoing encounter between them as they navigated the challenges of life in the segregated South.

"My name is Chris Betcher, and I’m a teacher.

As someone who has been in (and occasionally out of) education for over 20 years, I guess I have a few opinions on how I’d like it to work. And mostly it doesn’t work the way I’d like. I am particularly interested in thinking about how schools need to change to accommodate 21st century learners, how technology can be used to make learning more interesting, relevant, fun and engaging, and how technology should be used to support people, not drive them crazy."

Recovery.gov

Recovery.gov

Welcome to Recovery.gov
Recovery.gov is a website that lets you, the taxpayer, figure out where the money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is going. There are going to be a few different ways to search for information. The money is being distributed by Federal agencies, and soon you'll be able to see where it's going -- to which states, to which congressional districts, even to which Federal contractors. As soon as we are able to, we'll display that information visually in maps, charts, and graphics.

Remote Access

Remote Access








Terms like these help us to refocus on why we use technology in our classrooms. We use it help our kids see the world in new ways and make connections that would not be possible without it. We use technology to help our kids be creative in new ways. We use technology to help our kids have access to information there is no way they could have without the pipes.
It's time to rethink.

Somerset Maugham said, “It is a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.”

In the book “What Great Teachers Do Differently”, Todd Whitaker wrote” Great teachers have high expectations for students and even higher expectations for themselves”.

“Great teachers have a plan and a purpose for everything they do. If things don’t work out the way they had envisioned, they reflect on what they could have done differently and adjust their plans accordingly”.
