Chair, Graduate Committee ;/ u ■ ILl LL Signed on behalf of the Graduate Council nYeSlnr Dean, SScchh ool of Graduate Studies ii ABSTRACT SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN SETTLEMENT SCHOOLS AS EARLY INITIATORS OF INTEGRATED SERVICES by Eloise Hollyfield Jurgens This historical-descriptive study examined Southern Appalachian settlement schools as early initiators of integrated health and social services with education from the 1900s through the 1970s. Three schools were studied: Hindman Settlement School (KY), Pine Mountain Settlement School (KY), and Crossnore School, Inc. (NC). The purpose of the study was to determine the type and extent of services provided, the relationship of the settlement schools with their respective county public school system, and the transfer, if any, of integrated services from the settlement schools to public schools as the public schools took over educational responsibilities once offered by the settlement schools. The conclusions of this study were that extensive integrated services were offered, changing in type over time, the relationship of the settlement schools with their respective county public school systems was, for the most part, cooperative and sometimes collaborative, and there was no transfer of integrated services from the settlement schools to the public schools. Instead, the settlement schools became an integrated service to the public schools. An additional finding was that Pine Mountain Settlement School engaged in a primitive form of privatization with the Harlan County Board of Education. * Further, all three settlement schools, through the wide range of services offered, were builders of communities. iii INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD APPROVAL This is to certify that the following study has been filed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of East Tennessee State University.

DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the people of Southern Appalachia and to those who serve them, past and present. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many to whom I wish to express my gratitude for their support and assistance in the completion of my doctoral work. Most importantly, I wish to thank my family, near and far, for their patience and encouragement. For them, especially, this has been a trying time, as much of my i time has been dominated by the demands of this work. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Dr. West, my major advisor. This dissertation could never have been completed without his skillful and patient guidance. He encouraged me from the onset to be a risk-taker in the development of this dissertation. I wish, also, to express my appreciation for the advice and support given me by my other advisors. Dr. Gresso, perhaps without realizing it, kept me mindful of the importance of culture as I conducted my study. Dr. Odom, a historian, advised me on numerous occasions on matters related to historical research. Dr. Marie Hill has served as a role model to me and taught me well the "hardiness theory." I am grateful for the support of all my fellow Cohort IV members, and a special thanks go to Cohort members Nancy Wagner and Mike Carter. Also, I wish to acknowledge the encouragement I received from my good friend and fellow vi doctoral student, Sheila Jones, and my colleagues in the Johnson City Schools. I must express special appreciation to the workers at Hindman Settlement School. Every effort was made to accommodate me, and I was treated as family. I must also thank Ellie Hjeminet, of the Crossnore School, Inc., and the good people of the Archives and Special Collections at Berea College, Appalachian State University, and East Tennessee State University. Too, I am grateful for the travel grant awarded me by the Center for Appalachian Studies at ETSU, and I am also appreciative of the assistance given my by the Microfilm Department at ETSU. Last, but certainly not least, I must acknowledge my mother, Imogene Nidiffer Hollyfield Williams, and my paternal grandparents, John B. Hollyfield and Edna Moody Hollyfield Trivette. My mother, who was unable to complete high school, made it clear that for me an education was a requirement. My paternal grandparents, who had a third grade education, inspired me to get an education. How I wish a settlement school had been accessible to them! This academic achievement is as much for them as it is for me, and also for my father, James Roy Hollyfield, who died in the Korea War.

Her mother completed high school and, once married, was a community volunteer. Her father graduated from Princeton University and Temple Law School, but when his own father died young, he left legal practice to run the family’s barbershops in Philadelphia and other East Coast railroad terminals. Practicing Catholics, Catherine’s parents sent her to Germantown Friends School K-12; she remains a Convinced Friend. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Roma earned a BA in music and an MM in Choral Conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she became involved in socialist-feminist politics and began organizing a feminist choral group in 1974. Returning to Philadelphia the following year to teach music at Abington Friends School, she organized and conducted Anna Crusis, the first feminist women’s choir in the US. In 1983 she undertook the doctorate in musical arts at the University of Cincinnati, where she founded MUSE, the community chorus she continues to lead. Under Roma’s leadership, MUSE is a vital group in what has become a national and international grassroots movement of women’s choruses. MUSE is recognized as a model anti-racist community organization and a progressive force in Cincinnati politics.

The brainchild and lifework of two women from the North, Irma Gall and Peggy Kemner, the Lend-A-Hand Center has become an influential organization in the region and has had a significant impact on the Stinking Creek community. Although the Center has been intertwined with many important movements, events, and organizations in Appalachia, it has not previously been the subject of any serious academic study.

The Old Regular Baptist faith of the mountains had influenced creative thinkers in the area for generations, and the coming of settlement schools brought secular evaluation from outside the culture. As the people living in the mountains began to understand the uniqueness of their musical heritage, radio technology was becoming available on a much larger scale than ever before. Singers and songwriters from the mountains found eager audiences on a national level. One of these musicians was Bill Lowe, of Pike County, Kentucky. His early experiences with music clashed with his family’s belief system and he found himself caught up in the contradictions of southern spirituality.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository WHERE MOVEMENTS MEET: FROM THE WAR ON POVERTY TO GRASSROOTS FEMINISM IN THE APPALACHIAN SOUTH Jessica Wilkerson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of doctor of philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Laura Edwards James L. Leloudis Nancy MacLean Zaragosa Vargas ©2014 Jessica Wilkerson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jessica Wilkerson: Where Movements Meet: From the War on Poverty to Grassroots Feminism in the Appalachian South (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) This dissertation traces the alliances forged and the grassroots movements led by women in the Appalachian South in the 1960s and 1970s, with a focus on eastern Kentucky. With a wide variety of sources, including oral history interviews, archival film footage, memorabilia, local and underground publications, and manuscript collections, it shows how women shaped the federal War on Poverty in Appalachia and then used the skills they learned in antipoverty programs to foster social justice activism that continued in the 1970s and beyond. Women in Appalachia, who have seldom been seen as actors in the movements of the 1960s, were key leaders and foot soldiers in what contemporaries called the Appalachian Movement, which intersected with civil rights organizations and had its roots in the War on Poverty. Rural, poor and working-class women helped to shape debates about welfare rights, women’s rights, and labor justice in the 1960s and 1970s, connecting white and black women, insiders and outsiders, to form a robust, interracial, intergenerational, and region-wide movement.

"A Settlement Institution of the Southern Appalachians is a private, non-profit, rural organization in the Southern Appalachians designed to promote and provide programs, services, and development with the immediate community or nearby surrounding areas in which it is located." In the document, individual reports (by state) of each institution provide information such as character and philosophy of the institution, governing structures, staff resources, facilities, and history. Additionally, a profile of each institution describes types of programs, dates of origin, affiliations, and project area trends. Individual reports of 6 agencies and a list of institutional reference materials are included. It is concluded that settlement institutions contribute to the future of Appalachia by utilizing local ties and the freedom of being private. By bringing innovation and change in their areas of influence, these institutions help to provide for the needs of Appalachia's culture.

Settlement School, 1902-1910) located in the eastern Kentucky Appalachian Mountain region. Three themes emerged from the data: the social dimension in handiwork, social production of the handiwork, and innovative educational practices. The Hindman Settlement School, still in operation today, was respected for its academics, handiwork, and response to the region's educational needs. It was influenced by innovative education reforms of Jane Addams and John Dewey. (Contains 27 references.)
