Extractions: John B. Cade Library Black History Theme 2003: The Souls of Black Folk: Centennial Reflections Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month. " What you might not know is that black history had barely begun to be studiedor even documentedwhen the tradition originated. Although blacks have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books. We owe the celebration of Black History Month, and more importantly, the study of black history, to Dr. Carter G. Woodson . Born to parents who were former slaves, he spent his childhood working in the Kentucky coal mines and enrolled in high school at age twenty. He graduated within two years and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard. The scholar was disturbed to find in his studies that history books largely ignored the black American populationand when blacks did figure into the picture, it was generally in ways that reflected the inferior social position they were assigned at the time. Established Journal of Negro History Woodson, always one to act on his ambitions, decided to take on the challenge of writing black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and a year later founded the widely respected Journal of Negro History. In 1926, he launched Negro History Week as an initiative to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history.

HERBERT MARSHAL COLLECTION OF IRA ALDRIDGE In July 1852 ira aldridge started on his first continental tour with his wife andson to the Duchess SaxeCoburg-Gotha and performed for HM frederick of Prussia http://www.lib.siu.edu/spcol/inventory/SC139.html
Extractions: The exact date and birthplace of Ira Aldridge have been objects of some speculation. Herbert Marshall, in his book Ira Aldridge: The Negro Tragedian, feels that evidence points to the fact that Aldridge was born in New York on the 24th of July 1807. Legend has it that Aldridges forefathers were princes of the Fulah tribe in Senegal on the west coast of Africa. Aldridges father, Daniel Aldridge, was taken to America by a missionary and sent to school at Schenectady College, New York. Some sources say that Ira was born after Daniel Aldridge returned to his native land with his American black wife. Nine years later civil war broke out in Senegal, and the family fled to America. Other stories have it that Daniel Aldridge was actually a slave and was born in New York in 1772. Ira Aldridge went to the African Free School in New York City and at an early age developed an interest in the theater. He took odd jobs and raised money for a ticket to the fourth gallery of the Park Theater, where he saw the great American and British actors. He made his first appearance as Rolla in Pizzaro at the African Theater in New York and went on to play Shakespeares Romeo and later on Hamlet. His performance as Hamlet was seen by Charles Matthews, a member of Charles Dickenss circle. Matthews later parodied this performance and Iras rendition of the song "Opossum Up a Gum Tree," which was a sort of national anthem of the Negroes. Aldridges realization that Negro actors in New York were ridiculed, and that even amateur attempts on their part aroused jealousy, led him to emigrate to England.

He played a number of small roles in Shakespeare under the tutelage of James Hewlett before he accepted a job as a steward on a ship bound for England in 1824/1825. Reports that he studied at Glasgow University remain unconfirmed. In October 1825, Ira appeared at the Coburg Theatre in London, using such promotional stage names as "Mr. Keene," the "African Roscius," and the "African Prince."

Can a Black person play Othello? Authentic events from 1862, backstage intrigues, theatrical customs and absurdities. A hilarious comedy by Maciej Karpiñski with Omar Sangare in the title role. Can a black person play Othello? The action takes place in Warsaw a moment before the outbreak of the 1862 January Uprising. Arrests, deportation and conspiracy. In order to escape from bankruptcy, the director of the Variety Theatre, Anastazy Trapszo, casts Ira Aldridge, an international star from New York, in the role of Othello. The only problem is that Aldridge is... Black. Can a Black person play Othello? What is he playing then? Is this still a theatre? Backstage intrigues are mixed here with politics... Based on the authentic events, this hilarious comedy by Maciej Karpiñski tells us about the eternal Polish hell and the equally endless customs and absurdities from behind the scenes. Omar Sangare, whose latest role was that of Othello in New York, will play Ira Aldridge. Ira Aldridge (1804 - 67) Among the numerous monuments at the Old Protestant Cemetery in Lodz we can find a modest, though extremely interesting headstone with a portrait of a... Black man. There are two words carved on the marble slab, Ira Aldridge. Today the name does not tell us much but in the mid-nineteenth century this talented black tragedy actor was known all over Europe.
