A1 Marshall, Art Editor of The American Legion Magazine, then designed the cover which depicts the business section of downtown Atlanta. The beauty and gracefulness of the Georgia Capitol are accented by the many modern shops and office buildings surrounding it. You will note that the colorful emblem of The Ameri- can Legion is located at a busy intersection. Our organization is surely at the crossroads as we em- bark upon the second half of a century of service to God and Country. Atlanta, truly a most modern city, offers a most fitting site for this historic convention. 2 Welcome to the 51st Annual National Convention With this Fifty-First Annual National Con- vention of The American Legion we near the con- clusion of our 50th anniversary observance and we anticipate that from these sessions will come one of the genuine highlights of this golden anni- versary year—the blueprint for the Legion’s com- mitment to America in the years ahead. During this golden year for the Legion, most of which I have been privileged to serve as your National Commander, we have served under the slogan of “Fifty years of 100 per cent Americanism —A Commitment to Freedom .” We proclaimed a commitment which we believe has been fulfilled, for since the founding days of this organization The American Legion never has been found want- ing when the cause of freedom demanded service. We may well anticipate that freedom’s cause may be more demanding in the years ahead than it has in the past for despite four wars in this cen- tury, including the present fighting in Vietnam, the world still has not found peace, freedom still is threatened, and divisions among our own people make its defense more difficult. For some 18 months we have had a group functioning within The American Legion known as The Task Force For the Future. Their job was to evaluate the programs of the Legion in the light of present and contemplated social and economic change and to set out guidelines by which this great patriotic-service organization might be di- rected to even greater heights of service than any- thing we have yet achieved. We anticipate the report of our Task Force during this Convention, and while we take par- donable pride in the record that has been written by the Legion over the past 50 years, we look for- ward to the challenge that will be placed before us as we embark upon our second half century of service. Just as we never have been found wanting in the service of freedom’s cause over the past 50 years, neither will we shrink from the awesome challenge that may yet lie ahead for we truly seek for ourselves the greatest honor that can befall free men—the honor of preserving that freedom for posterity. i WILLIAM C.

    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

  • August 2021 Newsletter
    AMERICAN LEGION CLINTON POST 259 SEPTEMBER 2021 NEWSLETTER pg. 1 COMMANDER’S CORNER Dear Legion Family, The month of September brings to mind the observance of events that are of two extremes. The first is the Labor Day holiday that’s an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers in recognition of their contribution to America’s strength and well-being. The second is the remembrance of one of the darkest days in America’s history in which thousands of lives were lost on September 11, 2001 from two attacks carried out by terrorists from Al Qaeda. This resulted in the observance of September 11th as “Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance” in honor of the victims of these attacks. September also kicks off the 2021 NFL Season that will be the first to feature a 17-game regular season schedule as the league expanded the regular season from 16 games. As with past years, the Post will run a Superseason Pool and the chance of winning will increase with the added game. Good luck to all participants! Finally, as the COVID-19 Delta Variant has caused a significant increase in new cases and hospitalization rates around the country, members are reminded not to let your guard down just yet. Continue to wear your mask, but most importantly, get vaccinated because it has been proven that the vaccination offers protection. Yours in Legion Service, Willie E.
