  • Ocoee Election Day Violence – November 1920
    Ocoee Election Day Violence – November 1920 Report No. 19-15 November 2019 November 2019 Report No. 19-15 Ocoee Election Day Violence – November 1920 As directed by the Legislature, OPPAGA conducted a historical review of the 1920 Election Day violence in Ocoee, Florida to provide information on the scope and effects of the incident. To complete the research for this brief, OPPAGA reviewed academic papers and books, maps, oral histories recorded by the Works Progress Administration, congressional testimony, census records, property deeds, interview notes from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) officials, death certificates from the Florida Department of Health’s Bureau of Vital Statistics, draft cards from World War I, collections at the Orange County Regional History Center, mortuary records, and hundreds of newspaper articles. In cases where there were conflicting accounts of the events, this review favors those accounts provided by eyewitnesses or people with first-hand knowledge of the event. BACKGROUND Ocoee, Florida, is a city in Orange County with a 2019 population of about 47,500 people. The city is approximately 10 miles west of Orlando and is located near the southeastern edge of Lake Apopka, between Apopka and Winter Garden and surrounding Starke Lake. (See Exhibit 1.) Exhibit 1 Map of Ocoee, Orange County, Florida Source: Google Maps. 1 The area was incorporated in the early 1920s and became the City of Ocoee in 1925. Early white settlers began to establish homesteads near Starke Lake in the 1850s, after the Seminole Indians had been resettled west of the Mississippi River or fled to South Florida.

It is also available in Russian (see the attached pdf file). Soviet prisoners of war interned in Poland in the years 1919 – 1921 As a result of the defeat of the central countries, prisoners of war, interned persons and those forcibly taken to labour camps – citizens of the former Russian empire – began returning to their homelands (Russia, Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic nations). The first groups on the lands of the Polish Kingdom, freed from German occupation, already appeared in mid-November of 1918, i.e. the period of the formation of the centre of power of the reviving independent Polish state. Russians hurried home mainly using communication routes through Poland, from west to east. The first stage for them, before their further journey to the east, was Warsaw, the main railway hub, where they were gathered in post-German barracks at Powązki.Inter alia the first transport of Russian POWs set off from Kalisz to Warsaw immediately following the evacuation of the Germans on 14 November. These transports were used by Russians to travel home after being held at the POW camp in Szczypiorno. In general, on the days of 14–16 November 1918 alone, 14 thousand POWs were sent from Kalisz.

The war’s long-term effects were so devastating that it is fair to say no clear dividing-line separates the war itself from the post-war period; nearly 10 million men died, in other words, one in seven of all soldiers; 21 million were wounded; millions of widows, orphans and other grieving relatives were left behind to mourn their dead. The war’s aftermath produced countless human tragedies; nearly every family continued to feel the emotional and psychological effects for years to come.1 To take the single year of 1919 and consider it as a specific historical subject in its own right thus constitutes another way to question traditional chronology, which tends to view the Armistice of 11 November 1918 and the subsequent peace treaties as the two decisive markers in the return to peace. In reality, 1919 constitutes at most a step – but only a step – in what historians now call ‘the transition from war to peace’, in French, la sortie de guerre. This term refers to a transition period of several years, characterised by the return home of soldiers and prisoners of war, the pacification of the belligerent nations and the far slower demobilisa- tion of minds and attitudes, or what is also called ‘cultural demobilisation’.2 This process was far from straightforward.

  • Crazy Blues”—Mamie Smith (1920) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Ed Komara (Guest Post)*
    “Crazy Blues”—Mamie Smith (1920) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Ed Komara (guest post)* Mamie Smith Original label Perry Bradford The African American newspaper “The Chicago Defender” in October 1916 expressed its certainty that “records of the Race’s great artists will be placed on the market” once the record companies realized how many African Americans owned Victrolas and other record players. During the next four years, some African American styles did appear on shellac, but performed by white musicians, including the Original Dixieland Jass Band who made the first commercial jazz records in 1917. The breakthrough record by an African American performer came in November 1920, with the release of Mamie Smith’s performance of “Crazy Blues” on OKeh Records. What was a sensational hit for Mamie Smith that fall was, in truth, long in being developed in African American urban show culture, certainly back to the time of the “Defender’s” statement. The pianist on that record, Willie “The Lion” Smith, later remembered the tune as “an old bawdy song played in the sporting houses” titled “Baby, Get That Towel Wet” circulating before 1916, when the composer James P. Johnson adapted it for his song “Mama and Papa’s Blues.” Another composer, Perry Bradford, made use of the same tune for several songs for himself, namely “The Broken Hearted Blues” (1917), “The Wicked Blues” (aka “The Nervous Blues,” 1918, 1921), and “Harlem Blues” (1918). It was by the last title that Mamie Smith learned the song from Bradford in 1918, for a New York stage show called “The Maid of Harlem.” Smith’s success with the song encouraged Bradford to pester recording firms to record her, an African American singer, in the style of African American blues.
