From Red Shirts to Research: The Question of Progressivism in North Carolina, 1898 to 1959 Calen Randolph Clifton Introduction The concept of progressivism is hard to grasp. In a literal sense, progressivism is the idea that advances in a society can improve the quality of life experienced by the members of that society. However, the ways in which different individuals and groups view "progress" can be paradoxical. This is especially true in societies that are struggling with internal strife and discord.

It consists of a blue union containing in the center thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag consists of two equally proportional bars, the upper bar red and the lower bar white. The length of these bars is equal to the perpendicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag is one-third more than its width. Above the star in the center of the union is a gilt scroll in semi-circular form, containing in black the inscription: "May 20, 1775," and below the star is a similar scroll containing the inscription: "April 12, 1776." This first date was placed on the flag to mark the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The second date marks the day on which the Halifax Convention empowered the North Carolina members of the Continental Congress to concur with the delegates of the other colo- nies in declaring independence.

  • National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options
    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Updated December 3, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42812 National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Summary The National Statuary Hall Collection, located in the U.S. Capitol, comprises 100 statues provided by individual states to honor persons notable for their historic renown or for distinguished services. The collection was authorized in 1864, at the same time that Congress redesignated the hall where the House of Representatives formerly met as National Statuary Hall. The first statue, depicting Nathanael Greene, was provided in 1870 by Rhode Island. The collection has consisted of 100 statues—two statues per state—since 2005, when New Mexico sent a statue of Po’pay. At various times, aesthetic and structural concerns necessitated the relocation of some statues throughout the Capitol. Today, some of the 100 individual statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection are located in the House and Senate wings of the Capitol, the Rotunda, the Crypt, and the Capitol Visitor Center. Legislation to increase the size of the National Statuary Hall Collection was introduced in several Congresses. These measures would permit states to furnish more than two statues or allow the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to provide statues to the collection. None of these proposals were enacted. Should Congress choose to expand the number of statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Joint Committee on the Library and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) may need to address statue location to address aesthetic, structural, and safety concerns in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, and other areas of the Capitol.

  • Legacy Commission
    Legacy Commission History is about what happened in the past while commemoration is about the present. We put up statues and celebrate holidays to honor figures from the past who embody some quality we admire….as society changes, the qualities we care about shift. Heather Cox Richardson, Historian Introduction In the 21st century, Charlotte is a city that is growing fast, simultaneously becoming more racially and ethnically diverse and socioeconomically disparate. A mosaic of longtime residents and newcomers from across the U.S. and around the world creates both a dynamic cultural landscape and new challenges that force us to consider issues of equity and inclusion. There is a legacy of racial discrimination in Charlotte that has denied African Americans and other people of color the opportunities to participate fully in the city’s government, civic life, economy and educational advancement. Vestiges of this legacy are symbolically represented in streets, monuments, and buildings named in honor of slave owners, champions of the Confederacy, and proponents of white supremacy. The Legacy Commission believes that the continued memorialization of slave owners, Confederate leaders, and white supremacists on street signs does not reflect the values that Charlotte upholds today and is a direct affront to descendants of the enslaved and oppressed African Americans who labored to build this city. The Commission recommends changing street names and reimagining civic spaces to create a new symbolic landscape that is representative of the dynamic and diverse city Charlotte has become and reflective of the inclusive vision it strives to achieve. The Charge Engage in a comprehensive study of street names and monuments in the City of Charlotte that honor a legacy of Confederate soldiers, slave owners and segregationists.

  • On September 1, 1961, Charles B. Aycock High School Opened Its Doors for the First Time to Four Hundred Eighty-Four Students Under the Leadership of Principal Jerry D
    On September 1, 1961, Charles B. Aycock High School opened its doors for the first time to four hundred eighty-four students under the leadership of Principal Jerry D. Paschal and twenty-five teachers. This opening was the culmination of four years of meetings, talks among citizens, and innumerable planning sessions on the part of the Wayne County Board of Education under the leadership of County Superintendent R. S. Proctor. The new school consolidated three smaller high schools in northern Wayne County: Eureka, Nahunta, and Pikeville. Superintendent R. S. Proctor recommended that the new school be named Charles B. Aycock High School in honor of Charles Brantley Aycock, a man known as the educational governor of North Carolina. Governor Aycock‟s birthplace is only a few miles from the school site. The name Charles B. Aycock High School was approved and dedication ceremonies for the new building were held on December 3, 1961, with Governor Terry Sanford as the guest speaker. Consolidation enabled more students from grades nine through twelve to have advantage of a more enriched curriculum. Students had opportunities to take courses such as advanced grammar and composition, speech and dramatics, as well as other academic and vocational courses. The athletics department offered both boys‟ and girls‟ basketball and the teams became members of the 2A Coastal Plain Conference for their first season of play. Within two years, there was an obvious need for additional classrooms and as a result, three mobile units were placed behind the main wing of the building in 1964. It was during this same year that Charles B.

  • Chapter 2 NC Beginnings
    NORTH CAROLINA’S North Carolina’s Beginnings North Carolina’s history began thousands of years ago as Native American tribes settled throughout the state. Pre-Columbian Native American history in North Carolina was, of course, unwritten. But the state’s first inhabitants left behind tangible signs of their existence, including sites as large and impressively engineered as the Town Creek Mound in Montgomery County. North Carolina was an important boundary area between different Native American cultural areas, tribes and language stocks. The Algonquian-speaking tribes of northeastern North Carolina’s Albemarle Sound region constituted the southern extremity of Eastern Woodlands culture. Further inland, Iroquoian and Siouan- speaking tribes such as the Tuscarora and the Catawba were more oriented toward the Southeastern cultural tradition. North Carolina’s mountains were the homeland of the Cherokee tribe, Iroquoian speakers who would be driven from North Carolina, save for a small remnant, during the winter of 1838-39 by federal troops. Those Cherokee who survived the “Trail of Tears” settled in what later became Oklahoma. The descendents of those Cherokee who managed to avoid capture and relocation still live today in their mountain homeland and are known as the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. First European Contacts The first known European exploration of North Carolina occurred during the summer of 1524. A Florentine navigator named Giovanni da Verrazano, in the service of France, explored the coastal area of North Carolina between the Cape Fear River area and Kitty Hawk. A report of his findings was sent to Francis I, and published in Richard Hakluyt’s Divers Voyages touching the Discoverie of America.

DESCRIPTORS Change Strategies; *Educational Change; *Governance; Government Role; *Government School Relationship; *Higher Education; Politics; *Public Policy; State Government IDENTIFIERS *ASHE Antrael Meeting; *State Governors ABSTRACT The popular image of the "Education Governor" was investigated, with attention to:(1) the extent to which the specific education measures proposed in inaugural and state of the state addresses of 20 "Education Governors" of the 1960s through 1980s corresponded with the subsequent actions of these officials; and (2) the specific personal attributes, professional goals and activities, and actual involvement in education that characterize these "Education Governors" of the 1960s through the 1980s. The roots of the "Education Governor" idea are traced to four turn of the century governors, one from North Carolina, tua from Virginia, and one from Alabama, all of whom held office between 1901 and 1911. The 20 recent governors and their states are as follows:. Jerry Apodaca (New Mexico); Reubin Askew (Florida): Edmund G. Brown, Sr. (California); John Chafee (Rhode Island); Bill Clinton (Arkansas); Winfield Dunn (Tennessee); Pierre S. duPont, IV (Delaware); Robert D. Graham (Florida); Clifford T.

  • Negro Disfranchisement in North Carolina
    COTTEN, JERRY WAYNE. Negro Disfranchlsement in North Carolina: the Politics of Race in a Southern State. (1973) Directed by: Dr. Allen W. Trelease. Pp. 137. The election campaign of 1900 marks the culmination of efforts by white North Carolinians to circumvent Negro suffrage in the years following emancipation. As a new century opened Tar Heel voters gave their nod of approval to a state constitutional amendment which effectively barred Negroes from the ballot box. Sponsored by the Democratic party, this amendment provided literacy tests for all voters, but its provisions also included a discriminatory loophole by which illiterate whites might escape thi6 test and qualify for the franchise. The campaign to convince white voters of the security of their own suffrage rights under the amendment proved to be a challenging ta6k for the Democratic party. Race became the essential issue of the election, and the Democrats' firm determination to recapture the state in 1900 resulted in a political contest characterized by unprecedented fraud and intimidation. The study presented here is an attempt to capture the mood of the campaign for disfranchlsement as experienced by the citizens of North Carolina, both black and white. It focuses upon grass roots activities as revealed in a variety of the most reliable firsthand sources currently available. By its special emphasis this investi- gation seeks to define and clarify the essential segments of North Carolina's population which supported and opposed the di6franchisement of the Negro in this state. v Public sentiment with regard to the issue ranged from zealous support to firm opposition and apathetic indifference.

  • The 1898 White Supremacist Campaign and Massacre, a Brief Narrative
    Created by Janet F. Davidson, Cape Fear Museum of History and Science The 1898 White Supremacist Campaign and Massacre, a brief narrative Pin, 1898, CFM 1998.001.0031 In 1898, the state’s Democratic Party, with Furnifold M. Simmons at the helm, decided to promulgate white supremacy in the state as a way to take back control of the state government.1 After regaining statewide political power in the 1870s, the Democrats lost it in the 1890s. As historian Leon Prather put it, “In 1894 after a reign of almost twenty years, the Democrats were toppled from power by the so-called Fusion coalition of Populists (disgruntled Democrats) and Republicans.” This initial win was followed in 1896 by the election of Daniel L. Russell, a Wilmingtonian who became “the first Republican governor since the era of Reconstruction.”2 These gains challenged the social order and in response, “…North Carolina’s up-and-coming landed and business elites, engineered and led the white supremacy campaign of the 1890s.”3 North Carolina Democrats looked for a unifying issue to organize around during the 1898 election season. And they chose to rally around the idea of white supremacy. This idea took hold in 1897: “Immediately following a key meeting of the Democratic Executive committee in p. 1 Created by Janet F. Davidson, Cape Fear Museum of History and Science Raleigh on 20 November 1897, the first statewide call for white unity was issued…it called upon all whites to unite and ‘reestablish Angle Saxon rule and honest government in North Carolina.’”4 So, “For almost a
