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.

APRIL 10 – 13 | HILTON ATLANTA • 1 We l c o m e Welcome to the 105th Annual Meeting of the Organization of American Historians! Meeting themes are rarely “ripped from the headlines” as if they were scripts from television’s Law and Order. However, the heated national debate over comprehensive immigration reform calls attention to American history’s perennial themes: the peopling of the United States and the great vitality derived from the diversity of the American population. “Crossing Borders,” then, seemed the appropriate choice to be the thematic focus of this year’s meeting.

  • 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.

  • Daily Activity
    March 15, 1911: Ivan Allen, Jr. Born Daily Activity Introduction: The daily activities created for each of the Today in Georgia History segments are designed to meet the Georgia Performance Standards for Reading Across the Curriculum, and Grade Eight: Georgia Studies. For each date, educators can choose from three optional activities differentiated for various levels of student ability. Each activity focuses on engaging the student in context specific vocabulary and improving the student’s ability to communicate about historical topics. One suggestion is to use the Today in Georgia History video segments and daily activities as a “bell ringer” at the beginning of each class period. Using the same activity daily provides consistency and structure for the students and may help teachers utilize the first 15-20 minutes of class more effectively. Optional Activities: Level 1: Provide the students with the vocabulary list and have them use their textbook, a dictionary, or other teacher provided materials to define each term. After watching the video, have the students write a complete sentence for each of the vocabulary terms. Student created sentences should reflect the meaning of the word based on the context of the video segment. Have students share a sampling of sentences as a way to check for understanding. Level 2: Provide the students with the vocabulary list for that day’s segment before watching the video and have them guess the meaning of each word based on their previous knowledge. The teacher may choose to let the students work alone or in groups. After watching the video, have the students revise their definitions to better reflect the meaning of the words based on the context of the video.
