  • Negroes Are Different in Dixie: the Press, Perception, and Negro League Baseball in the Jim Crow South, 1932 by Thomas Aiello Research Essay ______
    NEGROES ARE DIFFERENT IN DIXIE: THE PRESS, PERCEPTION, AND NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE JIM CROW SOUTH, 1932 BY THOMAS AIELLO RESEARCH ESSAY ______________________________________________ “Only in a Negro newspaper can a complete coverage of ALL news effecting or involving Negroes be found,” argued a Southern Newspaper Syndicate advertisement. “The good that Negroes do is published in addition to the bad, for only by printing everything fit to read can a correct impression of the Negroes in any community be found.”1 Another argued that, “When it comes to Negro newspapers you can’t measure Birmingham or Atlanta or Memphis Negroes by a New York or Chicago Negro yardstick.” In a brief section titled “Negroes Are Different in Dixie,” the Syndicate’s evaluation of the Southern and Northern black newspaper readers was telling: Northern Negroes may ordain it indecent to read a Negro newspaper more than once a week—but the Southern Negro is more consolidated. Necessity has occasioned this condition. Most Southern white newspapers exclude Negro items except where they are infamous or of a marked ridiculous trend… While his northern brother is busily engaged in ‘getting white’ and ruining racial consciousness, the Southerner has become more closely knit.2 The advertisement was designed to announce and justify the Atlanta World’s reformulation as the Atlanta Daily World, making it the first African-American daily. This fact alone probably explains the advertisement’s “indecent” comment, but its “necessity” argument seems far more legitimate.3 For example, the 1932 Monroe Morning World, a white daily from Monroe, Louisiana, provided coverage of the black community related almost entirely to crime and church meetings.

    Coronado Area Council Cub Scout Leader’s Guidebook for: Chuckwagon Skills Day 2019 Chuckwagon Skills Day Family Camp Saturday, May 11-12, 2019 Camp Brown, Abilene KS Cub Scout Chuckwagon Skills Day Date: May 11-12 Place: Camp Brown, Abilene KS Registration: 8:30-9:30 Start Time: 9:45 Opening Flags Fees: $25.00 per Cub Scout/Sibling $15.00 per Adult Attention: Early Registration Ends May 1 The Coronado Area Council is holding its 16th Chuckwagon Skills Day on Saturday May 11th & 12th. It is open to all Cub Scouts. The only program on Sunday will be the vespers following breakfast. The Chuckwagons used are scaled-down models of the Old West Chuckwagons. Using the dimensions on the other resource link as a reference, these wagons can be easily built in a weekend. The design, materials, and workmanship can be creative, but the dimensions and restrictions must be followed. Each Chuckwagon will have a maximum of 12 Scouts working as a team. We recommend that the packs mix the age groups of the Cub Scouts. Only Cub Scouts are eligible to compete. THE REGISTERED SCOUTS THAT START ON THE WAGON MUST STAY ON THAT WAGON FOR THE DAY. Substitutions must be cleared with the Chuckwagon staff Chairman. Wagons must have one adult volunteer guide to help the Chuckwagon Staff. These volunteers will assist at the stations as the Scouts pull into a fort. All information and some supplies will be furnished by the station captain for that fort. Each fort will have stations at which the Scouts will have a skill or physical task to do.

Comparisons are drawn between local and national developments within the ILGWU and the American labor movement in general. Surprisingly little effort has been made to test prevailing historical interpretations within specific cities-- especially those lying outside of the industrial northeast. Until more localized research is undertaken, the unique organizational struggles of thousands of working men and women will remain ill-understood. Differences in regional politics, economics, ethnicity, and leadership defy the application of broad-based generalizations. The Los Angeles ILGWU offers an excellent example of a group that did not conform to national trends. While the labor movement experienced remarkable success throughout much of the United States, the Los Angeles garment locals failed to achieve their basic goals. Although eastern clothing workers won every important dispute with owners and bargained from a position of strength, their disunited southern Californian counterparts languished under the counterattacks of business interests. No significant gains in ILGWU membership occurred in Los Angeles after 1933, and the open shop survived well iii into the following decade.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

INTRODUCTION In only a certain sense have the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) prevailed in their fight to exclude gay men from leadership positions. To be sure, Boy Scouts of America v. Dale1 does establish a First Amendment right to “expressive association” strong enough to defeat civil rights laws addressed to private organizations.
