The specific purpose of the Black Pages is to feature and highlight minority-owned businesses. The introduction of the Black Pages concept during the past several years is timely. The current economy of the United States is increasingly focused on individual entrepreneurial efforts, self-help initiatives, and small business development. The Black Pages seeks to provide exposure to individuals and businesses at the forefront of the entrepreneurial effort. The objective of the Black Pages is to help these individuals and businesses provide positive leadership for today’s youth, as well as a realistic alternative to the traditional career/ employment opportunities of the past. While primarily highlighting minority-owned businesses, we also encourage and solicit major corporate involvement in the Black Pages. The corporations that advertise provide support and assistance to minority business development while marketing quality goods and services. The involvement of major corporations is a wise business investment and improves the entire community.

MAURICE "MO" GREEN
Superintendent Guilford County Schools
Superintendent Maurice “Mo” Green was named Guilford County Schools’ third permanent superintendent when the Board of Education voted to approve his appointment on July 24, 2008. Guilford County Schools is the third largest district in North Carolina. The district has more than 71,000 students, almost 10,200 full- and part-time employees and a budget of more than $642 million. GCS has 120 schools located in urban, suburban and rural areas with 67 elementary schools, 22 middle schools, 26 high schools, two special education schools, and two sites which provide an alternative to long-term suspensions. Upon Green’s arrival in September 2008, he embarked on a “Listening and Learning Tour” of Guilford County to garner input from hundreds of GCS parents, students, teachers, principals and community members through town hall forums and other meetings. During this time, Green stressed excellence as the expectation for the district. Immediately, employees, students and the community began to work toward the goal of achieving education excellence. This is seen in the notable gains made in student achievement and increased numbers in volunteer hours and in-kind donations. The 2008-09 school year saw
56
B L A C K
P A G E S
significant gains in Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), the No Child Left Behind federal legislation. Almost 70 percent of the district’s schools met AYP, the highest number for GCS since the measure was established in 2003. The state’s ABC accountability program showed that 10 Guilford County schools were named 2009 Honor Schools of Excellence, compared to only one the year before. These schools made AYP, made at least expected growth with its schools and had 90 percent or more of its students score at the proficient level. Prior to joining Guilford County Schools, Green held several positions with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS). He joined the district in 2001 as its General Counsel, and in 2006, he was named chief operating officer. Upon his departure, he held the additional title of deputy superintendent. His duties included running the day-to-day operations of the district, which boasted 135,000 students, nearly 18,000 employees and a $1.17 billion budget. Green holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and economics and a law degree, both from Duke University. include “Top 40 Under 40” from the Charlotte Business Journal and the Black Women’s Caucus of Charlotte’s Trailblazer award. He served on numerous nonprofit boards in Charlotte, including the YMCA, the Arts and Science Council and the Crisis Assistance Ministry. He also is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Green and his wife, Stephanie, a school psychologist, are the proud parents of two children, Brianna, 13, and Isaiah, 9.

Dr. Deborah H. Barnes
Marketing Murder The Commerce of Lynching In 1893, the stalwart citizens of Paris, Texas tortured Henry Smith, “a negro fiend incarnate” and burned him at the stake for allegedly “ravishing” and murdering three-year old, Myrtle Vance, the youngest child of a local policeman. After the fact, a chronicle of the crime, its lethal retribution, and the nation’s response to the grisly affair was commercially published as The Facts in the Case of the Horrible Murder of Little Myrtle Vance and Its Fearful Expiation at Paris, Texas, February 1, 1893. The 200 page, illustrated, eyewitness account (written from the lynchers’ point of view) not only was designed to defend the politics of vigilantism but also to generate income for the grieving family. The sheer pageantry of the public murder the narrative describes must have required financial backing, since the intricate coordination of a large cast of characters, the preparation of various “staging areas,” and the use of numerous technological resources and special effects would ordinarily come at a price. That is, it seems unlikely that so sophisticated a plan could have been so spontaneously orchestrated without the administration of a “lynching impresario”—someone who would plan and expedite a “lynching extravaganza” for a fee (though one is not identified.) Hence, this lynching narrative1 not only preserves the important details involved in hosting America’s first “spectacle lynching,”2 it also lays bare a virtually unexplored aspect of racism’s summary justice: the commerce of lynching. The Facts in the Case alludes to the financial profits that Smith’s capture and murder could generate for corporate, commercial, and entrepreneurial concerns. The narrative notes, for example, that the Texas and Pacific Railroad delivered spectators to Paris by specially chartered excursion trains, after local and regional newspapers and national wire services announced the town’s intention to punish Smith for his crime.3 Accordingly, posses were deputized to apprehend the “criminal” with many of its
62

P A G E S
less affluent members being “armed and mounted” via municipal funds. Dog-handlers and their blood-hounds were similarly retained for the search. The promise of instant celebrity and a (privately-raised) $500 reward further incentivized trackers to apprehend the fugitive.4 Following his capture near Hope, Arkansas and his return to Paris –also by special train—Smith was chained atop a custom-made “float” and paraded around the town square where he was mocked and condemned by the angry mob. Afterwards he was delivered to a ten foot high wooden scaffold, emblazoned with the word “Justice,” where his torture was to be staged. Erected specifically to make his execution visible to the mob, the platform was conveniently located on the prairie near the railroad tracks. Before Smith’s almost hour-long excruciation began, his coat and shirt were stripped away, torn into pieces, and distributed for souvenirs among the 15,000 spectators who had come to witness his retribution. Beginning with the soles of his feet, the toddler’s father, her fifteen year-old brother, and two uncles alternated their efforts to sear every inch of Smith’s body with burning brands, before they burned out his eyes and forced the blazing iron down his throat, burning away his tongue. After their vengeance was fully sated, his persecutors “converted his body to ashes” by saturating Smith in fuel oil and setting aflame “combustibles,” which had been placed below the scaffold, rendering it a pyre. Smith’s immolation was no less spectacular than his punishment: after burning for more than ten minutes, he leaped, ablaze, from the burning scaffold, rolling out of the fire three times before his tormentors found a way to fasten him securely in the inferno.

who had arrived early to secure unobstructed views of the event, documented the atrocious affair for posterity and for profit by quickly producing souvenir postcards for lynching enthusiasts and prints for newspapers. Though the spectacle of Smith’s lynching was unprecedented, his murder by mob was all too common. Leon F. Litwack has noted that between 1890 and 1917, two to three Black southerners were hanged, shot, burned at the stake, or quietly murdered every week to enforce the submission to whites that Jim Crow racism demanded. Just as many if not more Blacks became the victims of “legal lynchings”—that is, quick trials and summary executions—“nigger hunts,” and private violence at the hands of whites. 6 For many decades, lynching had served as a means of extralegal justice in the West and most of the victims had been white. But in the 1890s, the apex of the lynching era, lynching and sadistic torture rapidly became predominantly a southern phenomenon, with black men, women, and children as its principal victims. Vicious white mobs became dissatisfied with simply killing their victims; they executed Blacks by means of extraordinary torture and barbaric mutilation, often destroying what remained of their lifeless bodies in a mania of overkill. By the end of the nineteenth century, the mob murder of a black man, woman, or family had evolved into a popular form of public amusement that spectators were willing to travel great distances to witness. Emergence of the

Once it’s economic and entertainment value had been fully realized and exploited, lynching as commerce help to shape lynching culture. Tens of thousands of white southerners witnessed and participated in “lynching bees,” “lynching carnivals,” “nigger barbecues,” or “picnics” as they were commonly known. Most Americans—white and black, north and south—learned about these ghastly matters through various forms of media: widely circulated news coverage, pamphlets, radio announcements, and to a lesser degree, books. Souvenir photographs of smiling and preening mobs of white men, women, and children coupled with grisly mementos from the event—such as amputated and preserved body parts, artifacts made from “tanned” human skin, scrota, bone fragments, pyre ashes, splinters from the nullifying tree or scaffold, and segments of chain or bits of rope—opened another, macabre, yet lucrative, market. By the mid-1890s, wire services, telephone companies, car and truck dealers, newspaper publishers, restaurants, hardware stores, reporters, and photographers had already claimed a stake in lynching commerce. After all, mobbists drove cars, spectators used cameras, lynchers needed guns, rope, fuel oil, and lumber; out-of-town spectators arrived on specially chartered trains and bought food and liquor at their destinations; newspapers and wire services reported the horrifying events locally and nationally, while telegraph offices and radio stations announced times and locations of the upcoming carnage. Those who could not (or would not) attend the lynching itself could purchase lynching narratives, like The Facts in the Case, which provided sensational, voyeuristic accounts of the ritualized mob torture and murder of a “notorious fiend.” After a fifty year lull, the end of the 20th Century witnessed a revival of “lynching commerce”— this time, in the form of academic and popular

publications.7 The emergence of new scholarship on lynching culture bracketed the unveiling, in 2000, of Without Sanctuary,8 James Allen’s controversial traveling exhibit of lynching memorabilia. Though many exhibitgoers balked at the timeworn images of predatory mobs humiliating, torturing, and creatively murdering their human prey, the exhibit drew vast crowds of spectators
as had the spectacle lynchings captured in many of the photographs. Hence, notwithstanding the subject’s gruesomeness, contemporary interests in lynching photographs, postcards, letters, pamphlets, books, and ephemera underscore the endurance of lynching commerce today.
I coined this term to identify published accounts of lynching that are written by a participant, spectator, sympathizer, apologist or victim.

This term is coined by Grace Elizabeth Hale. She describes spectacle lynching as a blatantly public, actively promoted lynching of a southern black by a large crowd of southern whites. For a full discussion of this phenomenon see: “Deadly Amusements: Spectacle Lynchings and the Contradictions of Segregation as Culture.” Making Whiteness: The Culture of Segregation in the South, 1890 – 1940. (NY: Pantheon, 1998) 199 – 240.

After the Smith lynching, railroad companies could be depended upon to transport lynchers and spectators to previously arranged sites, according to Hale. Some of these trains were even advertised in local papers.

Governor J. S. Hogg posted a $250 reward for the felon’s capture, which many Parisians considered insultingly paltry. 5 These kinds of relics would be sold rather than given away after subsequent lynchings.
