Although Eisenhower took positive action (in the sense of furthering the Black cause), his civil rights acts of 1957 and 1960 were delivered half- heartedly and were not particularly effective. The result of this was demonstrations such as the sit-ins staged by a group of students in February 1960. The positive outcomes of this demonstration were that White attention was yet again drawn to the inequality in America as well as the setting up of the SCC. In which shop in orth Carolina did this sit-in take place? This resulted in the desegregation of all of its eating counters by 1961. Whimpy's W H Smith's Domino's Pizza Woolworth's 3. In May 1961, a campaign started by CORE challenged desegregation in public transport in the South and how effectively it was being carried out. Once again, the violence that it triggered meant that federal action was taken by Bobby Kennedy who publicly declared the Supreme Court ruling of desegregation should be upheld. What were these demonstrations known as? Equality Demonstrations Liberty Marches Freedom Rides Justice Drives 4. As the campaign to target public transport continued the next target was the bus station in Albany, Georgia, in 1961. This was chosen by the SCC as Albany did not comply with the ruling concerning desegregation in Browder vs Gayle in 1956 and Boynton vs Virginia in 1960. Was this campaign in Albany a success? Yes No 5. The next demonstration concerned the issue of segregation in schools. However, this time it was not started by a major civil rights group, but rather an individual. Which man refused to be chased out of Mississippi University by angry White mobs in 1962? John Lewis James Bevel James Meredith Roy Wilkins 6.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

Kuhn ABSTRACT Since the 1936 publication of Gone with the Wind and the 1939 release of David O. Selznick’s film version of the book, the city of Atlanta has been associated in the public mind with Margaret Mitchell’s tale of the Old South, the Civil War and Reconstruction. The work of Mitchell and Selznick created images that shaped the public’s understanding of southern history and of Atlanta’s identity. This dissertation examines a series of attempts to capitalize on the fame and popularity of Gone with the Wind in museums in the Atlanta area. Focusing on the interpretive efforts of three entities—the Atlanta History Center, Clayton County, and the Margaret Mitchell House, Inc.—this study reveals the problematic nature of Mitchell’s and Selznick’s work and the impact that the book and film have had on shaping Atlanta’s identity and the public memory of the South.

    The David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History University of Arkansas 365 N. McIlroy Ave. Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-6829 Arkansas Memories Project Rodney Slater Interviewed by Scott Lunsford March 15, 2006 Washington, DC Copyright 2010 Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas. All rights reserved. Objective Oral history is a collection of an individual's memories and opinions. As such, it is subject to the innate fallibility of memory and is susceptible to inaccuracy. All researchers using these interviews should be aware of this reality and are encouraged to seek corroborating documentation when using any oral history interview. The Pryor Center's objective is to collect audio and video recordings of interviews along with scanned images of family photographs and documents. These donated materials are carefully preserved, catalogued, and deposited in the Special Collections Department, University of Arkansas Libraries, Fayetteville. The transcripts, audio files, video highlight clips, and photographs are made available on the Pryor Center Web site at http://pryorcenter.uark.edu. The Pryor Center recommends that researchers utilize the audio recordings and highlight clips, in addition to the transcripts, to enhance their connection with the interviewee. Transcript Methodology The Pryor Center recognizes that we cannot reproduce the spoken word in a written document; however, we strive to produce a transcript that represents the characteristics and unique qualities of the interviewee's speech pattern, style of speech, regional dialect, and personality. For the first twenty minutes of the interview, we attempt to transcribe verbatim all words and utterances that are spoken, such as uhs and ahs, false starts, and repetitions.
