Abstract
The current essay will review significant events in the history of the multicultural movement in the United States over the past 37 years. It is intended to encourage young scholars to study this movement, both the strengths and weaknesses of it, and examine their perceptions of current circumstances and proposed solutions for the discipline of speech-language pathology.
Highlights
By sharing a part of my story, I have provided examples to illustrate mechanisms that supported my success
The modern civil rights movement in the United States was a grass-roots movement of men and women, led by a coalition of 60 black ministers, most notably Martin Luther King, Jr. who rose to the forefront as the founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957
There were broad and sweeping influences across all sectors of society and disciplines, including speech-language pathology. It was a rich time of scholarship for many minority professionals who were addressing the bias in professional function that affected quality service to clients, as well as professional preparation of future clinicians
Summary
The modern civil rights movement in the United States was a grass-roots movement of men and women, led by a coalition of 60 black ministers, most notably Martin Luther King, Jr. who rose to the forefront as the founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. Earlier in the history of speech-language pathology, there were significant barriers to minorities entering the profession or being served adequately as a client This movement, has influenced actions within our own profession, with one result being the establishment of the National Black Association of Speech-Language and Hearing (NBASLH) to address injustices in the larger profession. The benefit of the teachers who responded effectively and interpreted my emotional states appropriately was that they modeled for me ways of empathizing with others These relationships buffered me from the depression and lack of resilience that could have resulted from the repeated and subtle insults and rejections, especially regarding race, that occur in high school.
