    The GOAL Report "Hats Off!" 2017 Financials 2018 Results 2019 Apply Now 1 A Message from GOAL Dear Friends of GOAL, This year, as the positive momentum surrounding the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program continues to build, hats off to our scholarship families, taxpayer contributors, state lawmakers, and school communities! We greatly respect and celebrate the thousands of Georgians responsible for this phenomenal success story. In 2018, lawmakers enacted the largest cap increase in the 11-year history of the program, increasing the total available tax credits to $100 million per year, for at least the next ten years. As a result, thousands of additional students will have access to Greater Opportunities for Access to Learning – GOAL! Our 135 GOAL participating schools, who have always operated with the highest degree of integrity and caliber of stewardship, continue to pursue the ethnic, racial, and socio-economic diversity that enhance the learning process for students and build stronger local communities. GOAL continues to receive contributions from a growing number of loyal and committed Georgia taxpayers, whose overwhelming support for better educational opportunities is groundbreaking and nationally-recognized. Your passionate and persistent support and outreach were essential to securing a significant cap increase. Most importantly, joining our GOAL student graduates, we throw our hats in the air to celebrate their achievements and look upward with them to even brighter futures. As you read the following report, we hope you will celebrate with us and enjoy the vital role all of you played in making this possible. Lisa Lisa M.

  • More Than Just a Game: the Impact of Sports
    MORE THAN JUST A GAME: THE IMPACT OF SPORTS ON RACIAL SEGREGATION IN ONE SOUTHERN TOWN by ROBERT L. ROBINSON NATALIE G. ADAMS, COMMITTEE CHAIR BARBARA BRICKMAN PHILO HUTCHESON DOUGLAS MCKNIGHT STEPHEN TOMLINSON A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Education, Leadership, Policy, & Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright Robert L. Robinson 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The research examines the impact of sports in the Civil Rights Movement, particularly addressing school desegregation during 1965–1971 in Valdosta, Georgia, based on interviews with nine Black football athletes who played for Valdosta High School during that period. The Valdosta High School football team had a tradition of excellence that was recognized throughout the state of Georgia. Valdosta and most of Lowndes County had a clear history of racial violence and bigotry. However, when the community was faced with mandated desegregation of the high school, instead of resorting to violence, the citizens focused on football. The outstanding success of African American football players and the entire time under the leadership of their head coach built a bridge between the White and Black communities. What could have been a period of intense brutality and community upheaval became a time of championships and glory. ii DEDICATION This dissertation is respectfully dedicated to my children, Ambree K. Robinson and Langton R. Robinson. It is my hope that this dissertation serves as evidence to them that the impossible is possible through hard work, perseverance, determination, and faith.
