Podcast appearances and mentions of Harvey B Gantt

In 1956, Judge Perry pursued what would be his first civil rights case, Flemming v. South Carolina Electric and Gas Co., in which he sued a bus company after an African-American woman, Sarah Mae Flemming, was struck by a bus driver for refusing to move to the back of the bus. In another famous case, Judge Perry successfully litigated the integration of Clemson University in 1963 when Harvey B. Gantt was denied admission to the school based on race. In 1972, he won a reapportionment case, which resulted in the creation of single member legislative districts in South Carolina. As his legal career progressed, Judge Perry would eventually play a central role in almost every case that integrated South Carolina's public schools, hospitals, golf courses, restaurants, parks, playgrounds and beaches. He individually tried more than 6,000 cases, and his work led to the release of nearly 7,000 people arrested for protesting various forms of segregation.Catchphrase South Carolina

109: Next Generation Talent: Does Your Nonprofit Have a Plan? (Righteous Keitt)SUMMARYSuccess as a nonprofit leader does not necessarily require years of experience. Inspiration can occur at any age, and the question simply becomes doing something about it. In episode #109 of the Path Podcast, I was fortunate to speak with exactly the kind of young nonprofit leader that has much to offer our sector, and someone who did not “wait for his turn” to make a difference.  Righteous Keitt was drawn to philanthropy at an early age, and started his first 501c3 at age 15 to help the homeless population in Charlotte, NC. After honing his skills through volunteer and internship opportunities with Generation Nation and Profound Gentlemen, he's continued his organizational leadership and community activism as a full-time student at UNC Chapel Hill.  Righteous and I discuss many of the lessons he's learned as a young nonprofit leader, and the great opportunities he sees for nonprofits to better attract and retain talented future leaders just like him.  ABOUT RIGHTEOUSRighteous Keitt is a community activist and a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was awarded a full Pogue Scholarship. Keitt realized his passion for community service at a young age, and in high school started a non-profit to help the homeless in Charlotte gain access to daily toiletries. He has mentored over three hundred students, and in 2019, was the youngest recipient of a North Carolina Heritage Award alongside trailblazers like former Charlotte Mayor Harvey B. Gantt. Last year Righteous was featured as part of Men's Health Magazine's The 2020 Project, which recognized the “Top 20 Twenty-Year Olds of 2020.”  Keitt now serves as a Board member for the nonprofit Generation Nation, and in the future, wants to continue his non-profiteering and activism while also giving back to the Carolinas, the place that has given him many opportunities and a chance to explore his potential.EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCESAdmiral William McRaven's book Make Your BedAmy Farrell from Generation NationJason Terrell and Mario Jovan Shaw from Profound GentlemenCharlotte's Mayor's Youth Employment ProgramLearn more about the We Are More FoundationReady for a Mastermind?  Check it out here

Now, more than ever, culture transcends geographic boundaries. In this episode, we explore the impact of that global phenomenon on the visibility of contemporary diaspora art. From Jamaica, Rosie Gordon-Wallace is a globally recognized curator, arts advocate, and community leader based in Miami, Florida, since the 1970s. In 1996, Gordon-Wallace launched a transformative enterprise, now known as Diaspora Vibe Culture Arts Incubator. DVCAI is a creative laboratory—promoting, nurturing, and cultivating the vision and diverse talents of artists from the Caribbean Diaspora, artists of color, and immigrant artists through public programs, residencies, exhibitions and more. In 2021, the organization will be 25 years old. We sit down with Gordon-Wallace to contemplate the significance of this moment.  Sound Editor: Anamnesis Audio | Special Sound from The Philosopher's Stone, with permission of artist Asser Saint-Val Related Episodes: Diaspora Vibe: Art with Caribbean Roots, Mapping Caribbean Cultural Ecologies, New Caribbean Cinema, Miami's Caribbean Arts Remix Related Links: Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator, Inter|Sectionality: Diaspora Art from the Creole City, Donette Francis, Rosa Naday Garmendia, Evelyn Politzer, Chantal James, Asser Saint-Val, Michael Elliott, The Windrush Generation, Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts+Culture, Miami Design District A traveling exhibition that celebrates DVCAI’s 25th year, Inter | Sectionality: Diaspora Art from the Creole City is a multidisciplinary curatorial collaboration and exploration of the emergence of the “Creole City” as a local, regional and global phenomenon. Internationally recognized curators Sanjit Sethi, President, Minneapolis College of Art and Design and former director of the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, and Rosie Gordon-Wallace, founder and curator of Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI), designed this collaboration to provide a lens through which communities and community leaders internationally can begin to better understand themselves, their diversity and their unlimited possibilities. In 2019, Inter | Sectionality: Diaspora Art from the Creole City was presented in our nation’s capital at a time when diaspora artists and voices were challenging social justice, celebrating identities—reactivating and bridging communities through contemporary art and scholarship. The complexities and diversities represented in this exhibition are emergent and, in many cases, ascendant across the world. In 2020, the exhibition travelled to the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts+Culture in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2021, Inter | Sectionality came home to the Design District, in Miami, Florida.

Harvey B. Gantt is known for many things. Among them is being the first African American admitted into Clemson University in 1963. But what is less talked about is his K-12 experience in the all-Black segregated schools of Charleston, SC. Harvey's alma mater, Burke Industrial School, was the subject of a research article that makes the powerful argument that Black teachers in the South helped catalyze the Civil Right Movement through their unique pedagogical approaches. Many civil rights leaders just like Gantt, first sat the feet of expert Black teachers long before they engaged in activism that sought to break the color line in America. In this episode, he reflects on the memory of his teachers, the profound impression they left on him as a person and offers a critical counterstory in the discussion of school segregation.
