Of course, Robert Sutherland (c1830-1878) is renowned for his contributions to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트. Born in Jamaica, Sutherland was the first Black student at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 and the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s first Black graduate. He was also British North American카지노 게임 컬렉션s first Black lawyer. His posthumous donation to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 famously kept the university afloat. His legacy is outstanding on institutional and national levels. But while retellings of the history of Black involvement at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 often celebrate Sutherland, we believe that they should also recognize other forms of professional engagement.
The history of Black faculty and staff at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 can be traced to the late nineteenth century with the appearance of Alfred Pierce (1874-1951). For over 60 years, Alfie Pierce, as he was known to generations of students, 카지노 게임 컬렉션was a legendary figure in Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s history for his association with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s sports teams. He was said to personify the spirit of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, regularly appearing at Queen's football games, cheering on the players and exciting the crowd카지노 게임 컬렉션 (Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Encyclopedia). According to the 카지노게임사이트's official historian, Duncan McDowall,
Through the first half of the twentieth century...Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s had revelled in its association with a local Black man, Alfie Pierce. While Alfie was lavished with affection, there was no question that he was perceived as different and inferior by the white students who surrounded him. Yearbook pictures show him reclining on the floor in front of men카지노 게임 컬렉션s teams. Most regarded him as a 카지노 게임 컬렉션mascot.카지노 게임 컬렉션 Yet, when he died in 1951, his body lay in state in the gym for students and alumni to pay their respects (McDowall 2016).
What does it mean to be the spirit of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and not its lifeblood? Historiography around Pierce often fails to reckon with the fact that he was one of, if not the first Black persons employed by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트, albeit as 카지노 게임 컬렉션a precarious-work contractor at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, who was unequal to the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s legitimate staff members카지노 게임 컬렉션 (Thomas). Furthermore, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 researcher Edward Thomas explains that
Alfie Pierce was never a regular employee of the university (he was, reputedly, on a $10/week 카지노 게임 컬렉션allowance카지노 게임 컬렉션 in the last years of his life, but this was not an arrangement for employees). He had no pension, no observable benefits (apart from a package of fresh underwear delivered on a regular basis) and no equivalency with any other employee of the institution. On subjective interpretation, I카지노 게임 컬렉션d suggest he was employed at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in the role of an aged and physically disabled house pet as much as a staff member.
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 would not welcome its first Black professor until the Civil Rights era. Distinguished Civil Engineering Professor Dr. Barrington DeVere Batchelor (1928-2011) is recognized as the first Black professor at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 (McDowall 2016). He was born in Lucea, Jamaica. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the 카지노게임사이트 of Edinburgh in 1956 and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the 카지노게임사이트 of London's Imperial College of Science and Technology in 1963. Batchelor began working at the university in 1966 after establishing his engineering career in the United Kingdom and Jamaica.
Dr. Batchelor taught civil engineering at Queen's 카지노게임사이트 for 27 years before retiring in 1993. In addition to his long academic career, he was an outspoken advocate for racial justice and against police violence on campus, locally, and nationally. And yet, after Batchelor joined the university, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션s recruitment of Black faculty members remained minimal if not altogether negligible.
Nevertheless, Black faculty and staff at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s have maintained active research and service profiles for decades. In 2017 the university announced a five-year faculty renewal plan, which, while not ostensibly focussed on Black representation, resulted in an increase in the number of Black faculty and staff on campus. In Fall 2017 Dr. Katherine McKittrick, Dr. Beverley Mullings, and Associate Vice-Principal (Human Rights, Equity, and Inclusion) Stephanie Simpson agreed to create a listserv to connect Black Faculty and Staff at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 (Mullings). Thus, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Black Faculty and Staff Caucus and its listserv were born.
