RETHINKING REPRESENTATIONS OF SLAVE LIFE AT HISTORICAL PLANTATION MUSEUMS: TOWARDS A COMMEMORATIVE MUSEUM PEDAGOGY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Department of Curriculum and Instruction by Julia Anne Rose B.A., State University of New York at Albany, 1980 M.A.T., The George Washington University, 1984 August, 2006 Dedication In memory of my loving sister, Claudia J. Liban ii Acknowledgments I was a young mother with two little boys when I first entertained the idea of pursuing a doctor of philosophy degree in education. At that time, it seemed unrealistic and difficult to find a program where I could study and conduct research on museum learning. I have since learned that when I embrace life’s serendipitous connections I can learn and achieve big things. I thank my husband Kenny Rose who encouraged me to pursue my education over the years and who helped me find my niche at Louisiana State University. Kenny was a mentor, counselor, reader, and editor while I attended graduate school and while I wrote my dissertation. Kenny’s support and guidance has helped me to think pragmatically about my studies and my priorities in life and continues to be my devoted friend. I thank my three children, Ian, Jason and Diana who grew along with me while I was attending LSU. My children’s love, tenderness, surprises, and laughter continue to motivate me to ask more questions and to try new angles for living. My advisory committee members generously shared their expertise and insights with me. I thank my major professor, Dr. Claudia Eppert, for her mentorship and for introducing me to the educational psychoanalytic literature. I sincerely appreciate her encouragement over the years and her close reading of my work. I thank Dr. Petra Hendry for including me in the Old South Baton Rouge projects as a graduate research assistant and for her enthusiastic interest in my research. Her support enabled me to take on the mammoth challenge to document the Magnolia Mound Plantation enslaved community. I thank Dr. Bill Doll for including me in provocative seminars and for iii helping me make deeper connections between museum learning and curriculum studies. I thank Dr. Miles Richardson for helping me find poetry within the relationships between historical sites and the stories they stand to represent. His mentorship on ethnographic research was foundational to my design for this dissertation. I thank Dr. Thomas Durant for his encouragement to dig deeper into the socio-historical stories of Louisiana slave life. Dr. Durant’s comments on the new tour narrative in this dissertation were a boost to my analysis. Several more professors gave me support in my studies and in my research at LSU. I thank Dr. Tiwanna Simpson, Dr. Sharon Weltman, Dr. Jay Edwards, Associate Dean Faye Phillips, Dr. Nina Asher, Dr. Michele Masse, and Dr. Bill Pinar. I thank the museum workers at Magnolia Mound Plantation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for their gracious and generous participation in my doctoral research. The museum workers opened to me their work places and their personal attachments to Louisiana history in their efforts to expand the representations of slave life at their historical plantation museum. I am forever grateful for their gifts of time, space, and collaboration. iv Table of Contents

    THE DIFFICULT PLANTATION PAST: OPERATIONAL AND LEADERSHIP MECHANISMS AND THEIR IMPACT ON RACIALIZED NARRATIVES AT TOURIST PLANTATIONS by Jennifer Allison Harris A Dissertation SubmitteD in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public History Middle Tennessee State University May 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Kathryn Sikes, Chair Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle Dr. C. Brendan Martin Dr. Carroll Van West To F. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I cannot begin to express my thanks to my dissertation committee chairperson, Dr. Kathryn Sikes. Without her encouragement and advice this project would not have been possible. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my dissertation committee members Drs. Mary Hoffschwelle, Carroll Van West, and Brendan Martin. My very deepest gratitude extends to Dr. Martin and the Public History Program for graciously and generously funding my research site visits. I’m deeply indebted to the National Science Foundation project research team, Drs. Derek H. Alderman, Perry L. Carter, Stephen P. Hanna, David Butler, and Amy E. Potter. However, I owe special thanks to Dr. Butler who introduced me to the project data and offered ongoing mentorship through my research and writing process. I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Kimberly Douglass for her continued professional sponsorship and friendship. The completion of my dissertation would not have been possible without the loving support and nurturing of Frederick Kristopher Koehn, whose patience cannot be underestimated. I must also thank my MTSU colleagues Drs. Bob Beatty and Ginna Foster Cannon for their supportive insights. My friend Dr. Jody Hankins was also incredibly helpful and reassuring throughout the last five years, and I owe additional gratitude to the “Low Brow CrowD,” for stress relief and weekend distractions.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository THINKING OUTSIDE THE (WOODEN) BOX: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ETHICAL COMPLEXITY OF THE UNCLE JACK STATUE Gretchen Victoria Klobucar A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Communication Studies of Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Carole Blair V. William Balthrop Eric King Watts ABSTRACT GRETCHEN KLOBUCAR: Thinking Outside the (Wooden) Box: A Rhetorical Analysis of the Ethical Complexity of the Uncle Jack Statue The life-sized bronze statue variously known as “Uncle Jack” or the “Good Darky” has been subject to protests and numerous relocations. Currently located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the Louisiana State University Rural Life Museum, the statue continues to be a source of controversy as an artifact with shifting “use” and “value” over the last 84 years. Based on the statue's sculptured body, the wooden box covering the original inscription, and the interpretive placard, I argue that the ethical complexity of past racial relations and the racial anxiety the statue continues to provoke are framed by the museum either as problems of the past or as problems deferred indefinitely to the future. This critical analysis assesses the rhetorical and ethical consequences of the statue and the way the museum has framed it, and demonstrates why prescriptions to destroy the statue are ill-considered. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to express gratitude to my advisor, Dr.
