African American Links

Founded in 1996 as a media-monitoring think-tank and information clearinghouse, the African American Policy Forum works to bridge the gap between scholarly research and public discourse related to inequality, discrimination and injustice. The AAPF seeks to build bridges between academic, activist and policy-making sectors in order to advance a more inclusive and robust public discourse on the challenge of achieving equity within and across diverse communities.

Developed as part of an ongoing effort to promote women¿s rights and gender rights in the context of struggles for racial justice, the AAPF strives to promote the interests of all communities who suffer from intersecting forms of discrimination (e.g., class-based, race-based, and gender-based), and unrecognized patterns of institutional discrimination. By bringing to the forefront perspectives on equity and equality that have been marginalized or distorted within the traditional parameters of public discourse, AAPF seeks to introduce counter-narratives to the "conventional wisdom" that dominates our mainstream media.

African Americans in California

Resources for the study of the African American experience are rich, varied, and abundant at The Bancroft Library. For many years, The Library has been actively building a research-level collection in African-Americana consisting of major published source materials, manuscripts, photographs and assorted ephemera. The collections document a variety of areas but fall chiefly in the humanities, social sciences, law, botany, and health sciences.

For several decades, The Bancroft Library has successfully acquired almost everything published by and about major African American writers including pamphlets, introductions, prefaces, and important critical and bibliographical material. Launched in 1978, The Bancroft Library's African American Writers Collection contains thousands of books, manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, and other rare works by African American authors. Materials range in date from the 1790's to the present and are regularly used by students, faculty, and outside scholars.

Library holdings include the papers of many notable writers such as Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Ted Joans. The book collection includes essentially all important contemporary black American writers. The Library places particular emphasis on works produced by blacks of the American West. The Bancroft Library also serves as the repository for several local African American organizations such as the NAACP West Coast Region, the Records of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and the Black Scholar Journal.

With this website, we plan to highlight African American resources in California. There are so many scholarly resources, in a wide variety of formats, and located in so many places that students, faculty, and other researchers can benefit from the creation of an "umbrella" web site that pulls these rich resources together to enhance their exposure and increase their usability. We envision this site to be more than a simple list of resources. We plan to create pertinent bibliographies, develop an historical narrative of African Americans in California, and create a visual, chronological story of the influence of African Americans in California.

Affirmative Action Backlash

Articles that consider popular myths about affirmative action and women of color, juxtaposing the myths against women's lived realities. In particular. Author examines five myths:

(1) the myth that women of color double-dip from affirmative action;

(2) the myth that affirmative action disregards merit for women of color;

(3) the myth that affirmative action is inappropriate for women of color because it does not fit the perpetrator-victim or reparations model;

(4) the myth that affirmative action is harmful to women of color because it is stigmatizing; and

(5) the myth that affirmative action is ineffective because it disregards low-income persons. By debunking these myths, the author hopes to break down barriers to the continuation of affirmative action for women of color.

Citizens Commission on Civil Rights

The Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights was founded in 1982 in response to governmental action that put into question the basic foundations of civil rights policy as it had operated since the enactment in the 1960s of laws providing basic protections.

The Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights is committed to the revitalization of a progressive civil rights agenda at the national level. Its work is grounded in the belief that such an agenda benefits the entire country, not just particular interest groups. For the nation to remain strong, we must continue to struggle together to fight bias and invidious discrimination, to promote equality of opportunity in education, employment, and housing, to promote political and economic empowerment and to guarantee equal treatment in the administration of justice. Achieving these goals also depends upon vigorous civil rights enforcement as a duty and obligation of the federal government.

Test Yourself for Hidden Bias

In the United States, equality is protected by the Constitution and supported by civil rights laws. Yet reports of unequal treatment because of skin color, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, country of origin, ability and other differences persist.

This discrimination is based on stereotypes and prejudice that social psychologists believe linger in most of us. Even though we believe we see and treat people as equals, hidden biases may still influence our perceptions and actions.

Created by psychologists at Yale University and the University of Washington, this collection of Implicit Association Tests (IAT) measures unconscious bias. We invite you to test yourself and reveal what may be lingering in your psyche. Each test takes about five minutes, and your privacy is protected -- no identifying information is collected or distributed.

Your test results may disturb you -- more than one million tests have been taken and the majority reveal unconscious bias. Dig Deeper in

The History of Affirmative-Action Policies

Beginning with the creation of the Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity and President John F. Kennedy's Executive Order 10925 to take "affirmative action to ensure that applicants are treated equally without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin," to the present-day debate over race-based admissions policies at the University of Michigan, affirmative action has had a long and complex history in the United States. Herewith, a timeline of affirmative-action policies in this country:

Creating Safe Spaces for All Youth: Working with Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Questionin

For almost 15 years I have worked with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning (GLBTQ) youth as an advocate, counselor and educator. During this time I have had the opportunity to be involved in the lives of youths who identify themselves as GLBTQ. There have been times when I have been the only other person a youth has trusted with knowing their invisible sexual identity.

Working with GLBTQ youth has been a challenging experience. Over the years, I have felt alone and overwhelmed with all of the support GLBTQ youth have expected and deserved. There have been many anti-gay episodes that occurred on the campus where I was previously employed and in my community, and I was actively involved with many of the institutional responses to these incidents. I have had to play the polarized roles of both administrator and support person to the GLBTQ youths who have been directly affected by these incidents. These experiences have taught me that it is important to have allies who can offer support through difficult times. I have learned many things about trust and the value of acceptance.

The University of Wisconsin System will continue to devote resources to a broad range of diversity efforts, in an effort to leave no segment of Wisconsin¿s population behind, because if our environment is less than welcoming for any group or population, we are in violation of the principle of success for all; and because education for a diverse world demands it.

Partisan Thought Is Unconscious

Using M.R.I. scanners, neuroscientists have now tracked what happens in the politically partisan brain when it tries to digest damning facts about favored candidates or criticisms of them. The process is almost entirely emotional and unconscious, the researchers report, and there are flares of activity in the brain's pleasure centers when unwelcome information is being rejected.

Project Implicit

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was originally developed as a device for exploring the unconscious roots of thinking and feeling. The IAT asks you to pair two concepts (e.g., young and good, or elderly and good). The more closely associated the two concepts are, the easier it is to respond to them as a single unit. This site allows you to take tests to evaluate your implicit attitude or beliefs.
