COOK Under the Direction of Jeffrey B. Glover, PhD ABSTRACT From the excavation of Atlanta's first municipal dumps, a collection of the city’s oldest and most popular medicines has been analyzed. The process of identifying and exploring the stories behind the medicinal vessels of the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) archaeological collection has led to several paths of inquiry. One such avenue is a look at local manufacturers, their impact, and their products. Focused on embossed glass bottles from 1860-1920 this thesis investigates the roles of medicinal bottles as symbolic for Atlanta’s Gilded Age. I gathered detailed information on nearly 100 products represented by 222 vessels. These artifacts are derived from three sites unearthed during the MARTA excavations conducted by Georgia State University archaeologists during the late-1970s.

The mural is at 302 E. Howard IAve. at the corner of N. Candler and E. Howard. The project is a part of Living Walls’ annual Laura Patria Calle Grant, which supports public art projects on the topics of social equality, immigrants’ rights, feminism, LGBTQ rights and cultural diversity. Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers aims to bring representa- tion to the mothers who crossed borders to give their immigrant children a better life. The mural’s message seeks to inspire a conver- sation about immigrant rights in our country. The artist, Yehimi Cambron, said the project is a culmination of her personal experience as an undocumented immigrant with DACA, of being the daughter of undocumented parents, and of the countless migration stories her students have shared with her in the classroom through their projects. The mural depicts three portraits of immigrant mothers sur- rounded by the imagery of desert plants and their colorful flowers, to represent the contrast of her strength and vulnerability and how they inform one another. The imagery also alludes to her family’s migration journey in an effort to shift an often-criminalized narra- tive into one of empowerment. The monarch butterflies surrounding each mother represent their children. The monarch butterfly is a reflection of the migration journey and a symbol of the resilience of their community.

  • Index to the Proceedings by Ruth Canedy Cross

    Index to the Proceedings by Ruth Canedy Cross

    Index to the Proceedings by Ruth Canedy Cross FOREWORD As might be expected, the forty-four volumes of Proceedings (1905-1979) covered by this index provide a solid background of history: the landing at and settlement of "Newtown[e]"; the allotment of land and establishment—and later alteration—of town boundaries; the organization and division of churches; the effects of war, from the early Indian struggles and the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam conflict; the growth of and changes in population; the rise and decline and subsequent revival of industry. Along with this, from almost the very beginning, runs the history of Harvard; "town and gown" have shared many of the same problems, and each has profoundly affected the other. All this is enlivened by first-hand accounts from diaries and letters and recollections by people who were there while it was happening. For example: In the 1630s, Governor Winthrop reprimands Lieutenant-Governor Dudley for "extravagance" in wainscoting his new house, to which Dudley replies that it was done "for warmth...and the charge was little." We hear of a "student rebellion" at Harvard in the 1660s, apparently over religious matters; 300 years later the issues are different but the sentiments are the same. An exchange of correspondence between General Heath and General Burgoyne in 1777 reflects their frustrations in attempting to provide decent accommodations for the "Convention Troops" held prisoner in Cambridge. Written in 1827 to her son Stephen, Louisa Storrow Higginson's letters (read by a younger son, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in 1906 at the sixth meeting of the newly formed Society) paint a vivid picture of family life--with ten children of her own and two stepdaughters, she says of a neighbor's sick child, "he is a dear little boy and I longed to have him for my own to take care of." Four companies of Harvard students guard the Arsenal in 1861, this task being taken over by the Washington Home Guard during the draft riots of 1863.
