  • A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960
    A “Laboratory of Learning”: A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960 Sharon G. Pierson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Sharon G. Pierson All rights reserved ABSTRACT A “Laboratory of Learning”: A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960 Sharon G. Pierson In the first half of the twentieth century in the segregated South, Black laboratory schools began as “model,” “practice,” or “demonstration” schools that were at the heart of teacher training institutions at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Central to the core program, they were originally designed to develop college-ready students, demonstrate effective teaching practices, and provide practical application for student teachers. As part of a higher educational institution and under the supervision of a college or university president, a number of these schools evolved to “laboratory” high schools, playing a role in the development of African American education beyond their own local communities. As laboratories for learning, experimentation, and research, they participated in major cooperative studies and hosted workshops. They not only educated the pupils of the lab school and the student teachers from the institution, but also welcomed visitors from other high schools and colleges with a charge to influence Black education. A case study of Alabama State College Laboratory School, 1920-1960, demonstrates the evolution of a lab high school as part of the core program at an HBCU and its distinctive characteristics of high graduation and college enrollment rates, well-educated teaching staff, and a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum.

  • Journeying Together In
    Journeying Together in 2015 Prayer Journal Welcome to the fifth annual Judson College prayer journal! This year’s journal is almost identical in format to last year’s edition. We found the stories of our Judson sisters so powerful that we decided to include ten more this year. Their lives, though different, share two common themes: love of God and love of Judson. We are grateful for their faithfulness to live into their callings with strength, grace, and determination. We hope that you will find these Judson women equally encouraging and inspiring as you ask how you can serve your God and your Judson. In addition, each week features a scripture passage and a list of prayer concerns to guide our prayers for our beloved Judson. As you study, read, and pray, we ask that you allow your minds and hearts to be changed. Let God mold you, call you, and use you. A host of Judson women already have and we are blessed beyond measure because they dared to say yes! Susan D. Jones, 02 Mandy E. McMichael, ‘02 Co-chairs, Journeying Together in Prayer Committee Opening Prayer Lord, we ask for your help as we seek to make Judson a college that serves you. Grant all of us – trustees, faculty, administration, students, alumnae, and supporters – wisdom as we discern where you are leading us next. May we seek your guidance as we determine how we might increase Judson’s influence in Perry County, Alabama, the United States, and the world. Give us clear goals, capable leaders, and willing servants to accomplish each task you bring before us.

    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Randy Sparks for being the most responsive dissertation advisor a graduate student could hope for, giving notes that consistently made this project better. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee, Emily Clark and Laura Rosanne Adderley, for their thoughtful feedback through this process. Thanks to funding from the School of Liberal Arts at Tulane University and the Episcopal Women’s History Project I had the opportunity to visit many archives throughout the South and meet quite a few helpful archivists and research librarians who made the experience even more rewarding. I also have the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation to thank for funding my final year of uninterrupted writing, for which I am eternally grateful. Finally, I would like to thank Ed for the emotional support and dedicate this work to all the active churchwomen in my family, especially Laura, Jackie, Lydia, Helen, and Jacqueline. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS………………………………………………………...………ii INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………...1 CHAPTER 1……………………………………………………………………………..23 Preparing for Public Life in the Church: Religious Leadership and Benevolent Activism at Female Academies CHAPTER 2………………………………………………………………………..……78 Nurseries of Female Piety and Benevolence: The Gulf South’s Free and Enslaved Sunday Schools CHAPTER 3…………………………………………………………………………....142 “Her Piety Was a Living Oracle”: Public Speaking and Service in the Meetings of the Church CHAPTER 4……………………………………………………………………...…….215 Time, Talent, and

    2006-2007 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY WHAT MAKES Philanthropy HAPPEN? WHAT MAKES PHILANTHROPY HAPPEN? At The Community Foun- dation for Greater Atlanta, we believe real philanthropy happens when you encourage people to truly connect to their community and ultimately, connect their passions with a purpose. The time we spend with each donor, our support of community needs, the knowledge we share with others – all of this helps us to better understand the individual parts of our community and helps others unleash their philanthropic power. Philanthropy is not one person’s job, it is not one organization’s responsibility and it is not something that we can do alone. Real philanthropy – powerful philanthropy – happens when we connect with one another, share our resources of time, finances and knowledge, and inspire one another. THAT’S WHAT MAKES PHILANTHROPY HAPPEN. CONTENTS 2 A Message from the Chair and President 4 2006-2007 Highlights 7 How Can One Donor’s Passion Have an Impact on Our Community? 16 How Do Nonprofits Strengthen Their Business? 20 How Can We Approach Big Issues with Simpler Answers? 30 Scholarship Funds 36 Our Grantmaking 39 Recognizing Our Grantees 54 Thanking Our Donors 61 Financial Highlights 63 Board of Directors 34450_Text.r1:Layout 1 12/12/07 12:35 PM Page 1 CONNECTING Passion WITH PURPOSE 34450_Text.r1:Layout 1 12/12/07 12:35 PM Page 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT EARLIER THIS YEAR one of our donor families approached us with several passions: the father had grown up in foster care and was interested in supporting youth in need, several of the children were interested in animal issues and the entire family wanted to support a faith-based organization.
