Flyer reads: Lecture 21 Feb 2022 7pm-8pm. Student q&a 22 feb 2022 10am via webex link https://bit.ly/35GQrSd. ECU History presents 2022 Brewster Lecture “’The Place For Which Our Fathers Sighed’: A Vision for the Future.” Lecture Abstract" When James Weldon Johnson wrote the poem “Lift Every Voice and Sing” he eloquently linked the past with the present, our present. Quickly transformed into song by his brother John Rosemond Johnson, and adopted by the NAACP in 1919 as the Negro National Anthem, the poem calls out to the black community “Let us march on till victory is won.” But, right in the middle of this poem turned song, Weldon Johnson acknowledged the recent past events in his own time, and in ours, and condemns America as he says we are “treading” this pathway to victory “through the blood of the slaughtered.” He also asks that America become the place that its’ creators envisioned, a “place for which our fathers sighed.” A place where black people were truly free from the threat of a race war and mass violence. Yet, white America’s purported never-ending fear of a war between the races continues to inform as well as fuel concerns over racial differences and racial violence in this country to this day. This paper seeks to address how we get beyond this historical paradigm in our own time." For any questions about the Brewster Lecture, please contact Department of History Research & Publications Committee chair, Dr. Jason Raupp, rauppj14@ecu.edu Dr. Kay Wright Lewis completed her PhD in the department of history at Rutgers University, New Brunswick in 2011. Her research focuses on slavery and abolition, African American intellectual history, Atlantic World history, and the history of violence. She was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor in 2020 after joining the faculty at Howard University in Fall 2017.
