  • The Politics of Atlanta's Public Housing
    THE POLITICS OF ATLANTA’S PUBLIC HOUSING: RACE, PLANNING, AND INCLUSION, 1936-1975 By AKIRA DRAKE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy Written under the direction of James DeFilippis And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY, 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Politics of Atlanta’s Public Housing: Race, Planning, and Inclusion, 1936-1975 By AKIRA DRAKE Dissertation Director: James DeFilippis The purpose of this research is threefold: to theorize the political viability of the public housing development as a political opportunity structure; to understand the creation, marginalization, and demolition of this political opportunity structure in Atlanta; and to explicate the movements from within the public housing development that translated to a more empowered residential base, and more livable communities in Atlanta, GA between the 1936 and 1975. The literature on the positive productive functions of public housing is interspersed within the literature on the politics of public housing policies (at the national level), the politics of public housing developments (at the local level), the production of a racial geography in the City of Atlanta, and the productive functions of welfare institutions (including, but not limited to, public housing developments). Further, this project attempts to understand empirical benefits of political opportunity structures, particularly as it relates to low-income and minority housing movements in the city of Atlanta. Theoretically, political opportunity structures provide a neutral platform for low-income city dwellers that have historically been denied the legal means to challenge neighborhood change, and participate in formal urban political processes ii and institutions.

  • The Role of Race in Attaining Substantive Representation
    Changing the Local Governing Regime: The Role of Race in Attaining Substantive Representation Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carla Jackson Willis, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Harwood McClerking, Advisor Irfan Nooruddin Wendy Smooth John Wright Abstract Many scholars have examined the role of representation by minority elected officials. Underlying this examination was the assumption that black elected officials would represent the interests of black constituents in a way that was better than representation provided by white elected officials. However, support for this assumption has been mixed at best. This dissertation builds upon the political representation literature by assessing the degree to which minority elected officials address the needs of minority constituencies. In order to do this, I examine multiple forms of political representation and determine how they have been operationalized in the areas of resource allocation, local changes in governing regimes, and public attention to the current HIV/AIDS epidemic in African American communities. ii Dedicated to: Charles and Joyce Jackson iii Acknowledgements This project has been a labor of love that would not have been possible without the assistance, encouragement, and diligence of many people. First I’d like to thank my dissertation committee; Harwood McClerking, William Nelson, Irfan Nooruddin, Wendy Smooth, and Jack Wright. Dr. McClerking has taught me how to slow down and work diligently towards finding a clear message that moves the discipline forward. He has repeatedly challenged me to become a better researcher and helped me to develop both the technical and mental fortitude that is necessary in my development as a scholar.

    GeologicGeologic Resource Resourcess Inventory Inventory Scoping Scoping Summary Summary Chattahoochee Glacier Bay National River NationalPark, Alaska Recreation Area Georgia Geologic Resources Division PreparedNational Park by Katie Service KellerLynn Geologic Resources Division October US Department 31, 2012 of the Interior National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) Program, administered by the Geologic Resources Division (GRD), provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting, a scoping summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a geologic resources inventory report. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management. Scoping meetings also provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, distinctive geologic features and processes, and potential monitoring and research needs. If possible, scoping meetings include a site visit with local experts. The Geologic Resources Division held a GRI scoping meeting for Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area on March 19, 2012, at the headquarters building in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the national recreation area, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and the Geologic Resources Division; and cooperators from the University of West Georgia, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, and Colorado State University (see table 2, p. 21). During the scoping meeting, Georgia Hybels (NPS Geologic Resources Division, GIS specialist) facilitated the group’s assessment of map coverage and needs, and Bruce Heise (NPS Geologic Resources Division, GRI program coordinator) led the discussion of geologic features, processes, and issues. Jim Kennedy (Georgia Environmental Protection Division, state geologist) provided a geologic overview of Georgia, with specific information about the Chattahoochee River area.

THE EFFECTS OF ATLANTA’S URBAN REGIME POLITICS ON THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHEATING SCANDAL. by JOHNATHAN MUNGO Under the Direction of Lakeyta Bonnette-Bailey Ph.D. ABSTRACT Atlanta’s Urban Regime was involved at every point in the APS cheating scandal and subsequent fall out. The Anglo-American business elites and African American political leaders cared about the image of Atlanta more than the academic well-being of the students. The business community was driving the policies affecting the school system. These policies ultimately benefitted the well-connected members of the regime. At no point did African American voters operationalize their potential political power in the 2013 city elections after the cheating scandal. INDEX WORDS: Atlanta, Atlanta Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools Cheating Scandal, Urban Regime, Corporate Education Movement THE EFFECTS OF ATLANTA’S URBAN REGIME POLITICS ON THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHEATING SCANDAL.

In January through March of 2004, Sweet Auburn was studied as a part of the ‘Eastside / Auburn Avenue’ Focus Area, one of five such areas included in the “Imagine Downtown” planning and visioning process. An Eastside / Auburn Core Team of institutions, businesses, property owners and residents in the area was convened to review existing conditions, define issues for discussion, review plan products and prioritize implementation steps. In addition, one-on-one interviews were held with many of the stakeholders in the corridor and over 60 people participated in the Community Workshop held on December 9, 2003. Focus Area Context The Eastside/ Auburn Avenue Focus Area is located just east of Atlanta’s Central Business District. The Auburn corridor is approximately one mile long, anchored by a high-density commercial area around Peachtree Street on the west and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site (NHS) on the east. John Wesley Dobbs Avenue and Edgewood Avenue form the northern and southern boundaries of the Focus Area, which is about six blocks at its widest point where in jogs along Gilmore Street to include a part of Grady Hospital.
