Una de las primeras cosas que aprendes al estudiar al “Movimiento de los Derechos Civiles” es que llamarlo el “Movimiento de los Derechos Civiles” es un nombre poco apropiado. No humo un solo movimiento, así como no hubo un solo líder. Los múltiples movimientos por los derechos civiles que evolucionaron independiente pero simultáneamente durante la década de los años 50 y 60 fueron liderados por hombres y mujeres que compartían una creencia común en la igualdad y la justicia social.
A medida que los historiadores e historiadoras se alejan de la narrativa de un único relato comenzamos a encontrar nuevas historias y nuevas verdades. El Reverendo Cecil Augustus Ivory es un nombre que puede ser nuevo para mucha gente, pero en el contexto de los años 1960 en Rock Hill, Carolina del Sur, él está reconocido como un precursor de un movimiento por los derechos civiles particularmente influyente.
La Sociedad Histórica Presbiteriana tiene la suerte de contar con un número de récords relacionados con la fascinante vida del Rev. Ivory, los cuales muestran como se convirtió en el líder que fue.
The deadline is nearing for submissions to The Presbyterian Writers Guild (PWG) 2018 Best First Book Award, honoring the best first book by a Presbyterian author published during the calendar years of 2016-2017.
One of the first things you learn when studying the “Civil Rights Movement” is that calling it the “Civil Rights Movement” is a bit of a misnomer. There was not a single movement, just as there was not a single leader. The multiple civil rights movements that evolved independently and yet concurrently during the 1950s and ’60s were led by men and women who shared a common belief in equality and social justice.
As historians move beyond the narrative of a single story we begin to encounter new stories and new truths. The Reverend Cecil Augustus Ivory is a name that may be new to many, but in the context of 1960s Rock Hill, South Carolina, he is recognized as an early leader of a particularly influential local civil rights movement.
The Presbyterian Historical Society is fortunate to have a number of records related to Rev. Ivory’s fascinating life that indicate how he became the leader he was.
