The area is known for its contributions to the Underground Railroad, the abolitionist movement, the Jazz Age, and Civil Rights movement. Densely inhabited by both African Americans and immigrants from all over the world, the district was once a thriving and vibrant center of cultural and economic activity in the first half of the 20th century. People of different ethnic backgrounds lived side-by-side and at times even shared homes with multiple families of different cultures under one roof. Many forces came into play that would serve as the main drivers behind the physical decay and depopulation of the Heritage Corridor. The decline of Buffalo’s importance as an industrial center, the greater deindustrialization of America, segregation and the sprawl of the Buffalo region resulting from housing market changes were all factors that led to decreased economic activity and population in the area. Much of the economic activity that was taking place in these structures was either directly related to industrial production, or was money being spent on services that had been earned from the abundant industrial jobs. When these industrial jobs began to dry up it meant idle factories in the neighborhood and less money for the residents who had worked in the factories to spend in their neighborhood. The commodification of the pg. 4 Chapter: 1 INTRODUCTION Introduction: Background housing market would be a main driver for the sprawl and depopulation of the urban core in the post WW II period. The late 1960s, a turbulent period for the entire nation, also contributed in sealing the fate of the neighborhood. The violent disturbances of the summer of 1967 severely disrupted areas around William and Jefferson Street, ultimately serving to further racially divide the neighborhood and cause remaining whites to flee for good. These forces combined to severely decrease economic activity in the area and cause a decline that would continue for decades (Goldman, 1983). While many of the important structures and institutions from the previous era may not have survived, their historic significance retains a powerful reminder of the area’s wider influence on the region and culture at large. Located in the heart of Buffalo’s present day Ellicott District, just east of the downtown core, the area boasts an ideal location between Buffalo’s most active growth centers. To the south are the Waterfront, Cobblestone and Larkin Districts, to the north the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and to the west downtown is located less than a half mile away. It is uniquely situated on the radial grid of the original Ellicott Plan and has been featured in it Buffalo’s Comprehensive Plan, rightfully so given its significant past, as a focus area for redevelopment. In the past, proximity to the downtown central business district has had unfortunate relationships for the corridor and surrounding Ellicott District. When the urban core declined due to what a planner from the era called “changes in American living habits which revolutionized post-war retailing…(due to)…individual mobility and the automobile”, urban living was disfavored by the middle and upper classes. In the post WW II period there was a strong desire to reverse the trend of decline in the central urban core as negative attention was directed to nearby areas that were perceived as “blighted”. Combined with the redlining practices of banks that limited available funds for improvements, restrictive zoning and declining employment, the district and surrounding neighborhoods became a target of slum clearance. Urban renewal and Federal Highway Act projects would demolish significant amounts of the surrounding neighborhood fabric and decimated the residential and commercial vitality of the district. In the interim period, waves of government subsidized housing developments created a unique mix of housing stock modeled after suburban style homes and apartments which often did not aim to preserve the historic character of the area. However, in 1996 the Michigan Street Preservation Corporation (MSPC), a not-for-profit organization, was established and designated by the City of Buffalo as the responsible party for promoting a historic preservation program for the Michigan Street area. Its primary tasks were to recognize and promote the heritage of the City of Buffalo, and transition this historic area into a heritage corridor, by “promoting programs and activities for the restoration, education, research, and economic development of historic properties in the area.” The MSPC’s primary project was the restoration of the Rev. J. Edward Nash house at 36 Nash St., for which it gained title to in 1999. Following the acquisition of the Nash House, the MSPC put forth the Michigan Street Urban Design Plan, which would establish a museum for visitors within the Nash House, and would redevelop other historic properties within the heritage area. This plan was the impetus of the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission. The Michigan Street Preservation Corporation became incorporated, and shortly after applying in January 2010, both the MSPC and the Colored Musicians Club obtained the 501(c)(3) tax exemption status. In early 2007, the historic preservation area legislation was introduced to recognize the area as a heritage corridor. Chapter 595 (Laws of New York 2007) was signed into law on August 15, 2007 and amended the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, to designate the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor in Buffalo as a state heritage

    Shanleigh Corrallo, a Ph.D. candidate in American History at the University at Buffalo, completed this research with support from the Riverrun Foundation in September, 2018. She would like to thank the staff at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library for taking the time to assist her with locating resources and for serving as a second eye for this report. Buffalo and the Great War: Cultural Particularities and Collective Identity While often overlooked for its contributions to World War I, Buffalo’s industry was central to the global war effort. The city’s increasing industrial significance to allied governments had social and cultural implications for its citizens. “Buffalo and the Great War” examines how Buffalonians culturally engaged with the Great War with a particular emphasis on how Theatre, Music and Industry impacted the city and measures the enduring impacts on modern Western New York culture. This research argues that Buffalonians created a more unified regional identity that outlasted the Great War by engaging with Theatre, Music and Industry. 1. Theatre and Music 2. Industry Transformation of collective identity Through Theatre, Music and Industry, Buffalonians engaged with and participated in World War I. Buffalo proudly participated in national fundraising efforts like the Liberty Loan and United War Work campaigns to prove that the city heard “Uncle Samuel calling.”1 Buffalo also followed the national trend of featuring propaganda films like The Battle Cry for Peace to elicit visceral patriotic responses to the threats of war in Europe. The silent film, based on the novel Defenseless America, stirred audiences by demonstrating that America’s pacifism could result in the destruction of its major cities.

Hrtbur 3ones WITH CRITICAL RESPECT AND PERSONAL AFFECTION 43G449 PREFACE The papers assembled in the present volume have been previously printed, in earlier versions, in Vogue and The Bookman; and to the proprietors of these publications I am indebted for the privilege of quoting from my contributions to their pages. In re-editing the large mass of my comments on the current theatre from the autumn of 1917 to the spring of 1920, I have decided to reprint only those articles which happened to deal with topics of abiding importance, and to cast into the discard the many other articles that dealt with matters that were merely timely. This book does not pretend to any unity, except in so far as a certain sort of unity may be suggested by an honest record of the reactions of a single mind to a multitude of multifarious phenomena. The present volume may be considered, quite informally, as a sort of suffix to The Theory of the Theatre, Studies in Stagecraft, and Problejns of the Playwright; and I should prefer that it might, if possible, be read in association with its predecessors in the series.

  • New Collection of Bios Steve Brown
    1 New Collection of bios Steve Brown - 1 Ted Lewis - 8 Fate Marable - 19 Edward Taylor Paull - 23 Whiteman - 70 Lopez - 79 Steve Brown 1890-1965 Steve Brown, born in New Orleans January 13th, 1890, and younger brother of Trombonist Tom Brown, is one of the most important early jazz bassist that migrated to Chicago in May of 1915. Brown‟s real name was Ted Brown. He was the original bassist with the New Orleans Rhythm Kings. He played with his brother Ton Brown in New Orleans. He later worked with the Husk O'Hare organization and also with Jean Goldkette. Early Life Brown‟s early life was typical for families who were “in poor circumstances.” He was 12 when he lost his father and a little less than two years when his mother died. Both He and Tom quit school to work (Sic: this also was typical of society in this era in New Orleans. Both my mother and father did not finish their schooling.) The boy‟s father played in a little band. He played different string instruments. He did not read music and the bands of this era played the dance music popular – lancers, mazurkas, waltzes, etc. 2 Steve used to hear Stale Bread‟s Band (Emile August Lacombe Sr.) and the various bands that played for lawn parties, these bands mostly consisting of Violins and Flutes. Steve and brother Tom rented a house together and “Happy” Schilling asked if he could leave some instruments in the house. The brothers, during the day would „fool around‟ with the instruments – trombone, tuba, clarinets, etc.
