Abstract/Description

Black women have contributed greatly to the healthcare needs of the United States. Women have acted in the capacity of nurses and doctors, caring for and healing people. The many black women currently in the nursing profession and the increase in black women physicians speak to this fact. Unfortunately, the lack of work on the subject shows that most scholars are not aware of this reality.

Show moreBlack women have contributed greatly to the healthcare needs of the United States. Women have acted in the capacity of nurses and doctors, caring for and healing people. The many black women currently in the nursing profession and the increase in black women physicians speak to this fact. Unfortunately, the lack of work on the subject shows that most scholars are not aware of this reality. This study, which focuses on the state of Florida, tells the story of the first black female physician, the first black female registered nurse, and the first nurse training program for blacks in the state. This study hopes to show that these black female healthcare pioneers and the healthcare institution played an integral role in the growth and welfare of black citizens and thus the development of the United States. Their work needs to be recognized because they took on a responsibility in a hostile environment created and sustained by the United States, but ultimately overcame obstacles nonetheless and made a lasting impact on the people and time in which they lived.

Show moreThis study specifically aims to illuminate the black attorneys’ experience in post—Civil War Florida by focusing on the complex careers of four black lawyers who began their careers during Reconstruction. The discussion will familiarize the reader with the immense obstacles that deterred African American attorneys from gaining prominence and the struggles endured by black lawyers throughout the South. As true regionally, the majority of Florida's legal professionals could not afford to practice law exclusively and had to pursue other careers as their main source of income. Politics often emerged as the career of choice for black lawyers. As public figures these men accomplished remarkable feats and flourished as leaders of the black community.8 This essay, in a larger sense, attempts to provide fresh and helpful information concerning the black 7 See generally, Foner, Freedom ’s Lawmakers; Brown, Florida ’s ‘Black Public Oflicialsg Richardson, Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida. 8 See generally, Richardson, The Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida; Woodson, The Negro Professional and the Community; Ward, Black Physicians in the Jim Crow South; Shofner, Nor Is It Over Yet.

Show moreAfrican American women are vastly underrepresented in higher education administration. With the paucity of literature available, this study serves to increase the understanding and experiences of these female leaders in Florida Community Colleges and to disclose perceived barriers that impede their mobility and representation as chief administrative officers. The community college continues to be the most important higher education innovation of the 20”‘ century (Witt, Wattenbarger, Gollattscheck, & Suppiger, 1994). In the state of Florida, there are 28 community colleges. Of those 28, there are a total of thirty- two chief administrators in 12 of those community colleges, and five African American women currently serve as presidents in 3 of those community colleges. Despite these efforts, African American women are underrepresented in positions as chief administrators in Florida community colleges. In Florida’s 28 community colleges, there are only 32 African American chief administrators—of which 5 serve as president. For the purpose of this study, 21 of the 32 administrators identified met the profile for this study. Administrators serving in their administrative positions at least (3) years or longer were asked to participate. Vaughan’s research on community college leaders states that in most cases it takes more than 5-7 years to establish oneself as a leader. The absence of greater numbers of African American women administrators in the community 16 college suggests the “new generation” of leaders is obtaining a variety of leadership opportunities and staying in them for a shorter time span (Amey, 2002). Moore (2000) stated, “The limited number of African American women makes it difficult for aspiring women leaders to find African American women role models who have been successful in cracking the glass ceiling” (p.1). This term refers to an invisible barrier toward advancement in executive ranks. The glass ceiling is identified primarily as a woman’s issue—— an issue impacting female administrators and those striving for this role in the college community. Unless gains are made in equitable leadership positions for African American women in the community college, the serious consequences of inequity, racism, and sexism will continue to prevail. Figure 4 show that more than 64 percent of college presidents were White men in 2000, signifying virtually no progress in the representation of African American women administrators as CEOs.
