Sam Massell, Former Atlanta Mayor and President of the Buckhead Coalition, to Speak at Buckhead Business Association Weekly Breakfast Sam Massell, Former Atlanta Mayor and President of the Buckhead Coalition, to Speak at Buckhead Business Association Weekly Breakfast ATLANTA (February 14, 2013) – The Buckhead Business Association (BBA) is pleased to announce that former Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell, will speak at the Buckhead Business Association Weekly Breakfast on February 21, 2013 at the City Club of Buckhead. Massell will give his annual State of Buckhead address. “It is a true honor that Mayor Massell continues to choose the Buckhead Business Association Breakfast as the venue for his annual State of Buckhead address,” notes Brian Daughdrill, 2013 President of the BBA. “Massell’s ongoing support of the Buckhead community is unrivaled, and we look forward to hearing his perspective on the future of Buckhead in 2013 and beyond.” Sam Massell is the founding president of the Buckhead Coalition, a nonprofit civic organization comprised of chief executive officers in the Buckhead area who are dedicated to ensuring sustainable growth and a high quality of life throughout the Buckhead area. A life-long resident of Atlanta, Massell has had successful careers in real estate brokerage, elected office, the field of tourism, and association management. Massell spent 20 years as a realtor, rising to vice president of Allan-Grayson Realty Company, then one of the city’s largest commercial brokerage firms. During that time, he was elected a charter member of the Atlanta Real Estate Board Million Dollar Club and honored three times by the Georgia Association of Real Estate Boards for the “Outstanding Transaction of the Year.” While in real estate, Massell became active in a range of civic work, which kick-started his career as an elected official. He served 22 years in elected office, including eight years as president of Atlanta’s Board of Aldermen (now City Council) and four years as mayor of Atlanta. While Massell was mayor, he was named president of the 15,000 member National League of Cities. He served a four-year term on the board of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and was a member of the board of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games. Among other achievements, Massell’s administration is credited with establishing MARTA, developing the City’s first enclosed arena (the Omni Coliseum), and providing the Central City Woodruff Park at Five Points—all accomplished without calling on ad valorem taxes. He pioneered minority opportunities in Atlanta city government as the first mayor to appoint a female to City Council and to appoint African Americans to lead city departments. In addition to his current work with the Buckhead Coalition, Massell serves on numerous boards, including the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, Atlanta Historical Society, and Atlanta Speech School. He is in the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau “Hospitality Hall of Fame”; Georgia Trend Magazine’s “Most Influential Georgian’s Hall of Fame”; International Civil Rights “Walk of Fame”; and Georgia State University Robinson College “Business Hall of Fame”.

    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

Without their bravery, hard work, and accomplishments this research, and possibly even this researcher would not exist. In many ways they served as the flagship for the validity of black political empowerment as they struggled to balance their roles as leaders of large cities and spokespersons for the African American cause.

  • 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.

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.

    i Stadiums of Status: Civic Development, Race, and the Business of Sports in Atlanta, Georgia, 1966-2019 By Joseph Loughran Senior Honors Thesis History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill May 1, 2020 Approved: ___________________________________ Dr. Matthew Andrews, Thesis Advisor Dr. William Sturkey, Reader i Acknowledgements I could not have completed this thesis without the overwhelming support from my mother and father. Ever since I broached the idea of writing a thesis in spring 2019, they not only supported me, but guided me through the tough times in order to create this project. From bouncing ideas off you to using your encouragement to keep pushing forward, I cannot thank the both of you enough. I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. Matthew Andrews, for his constant support, guidance, and advice over the last year. Rather than simply giving feedback or instructions on different parts of my thesis, our meetings would turn into conversations, feeding off a mutual love for learning about how sports impact history. While Dr. Andrews was an advisor for this past year, he will be a friend for life. Thank you to Dr. Michelle King as well, as her guidance throughout the year as the teacher for our thesis class was invaluable. Thank you for putting up with our nonsense and shepherding us throughout this process, Dr. King. This project was supported by the Tom and Elizabeth Long Excellence Fund for Honors administered by Honors Carolina, as well as The Michel L. and Matthew L. Boyatt Award for Research in History administered by the Department of History at UNC-Chapel Hill.
