Mothers can be a pain in the neck until you grow up and have children of your own. That’s when you realize the irony in your mother’s prediction, “I hope you grow up and have children just like you!” On the flip side, moms teach us a lot. Whether it’s practical advice (always wear sunscreen) or ethical (if you have nothing nice to say…), their wise words give us something to live by and to believe in—until we’re old enough to form our own beliefs. Ask Sometimes, without even realizing it, their voices become those inside our own heads, and their theories become those we share with our own children or friends. This Mother’s Day, The Resident wants to acknowledge the mothers who gave us our voices—and made us who we are today. In honor of Mother’s Day, we asked readers for the best advice their mother ever gave them and this is what they had to say.

    Ax Handle Saturday: Jacksonville’s Darkest Day Thesis By Brett Morgan In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Bachelor of Arts of History University of Florida Gainesville, Florida (Submitted April 20, 2016) 2 © 2016 Brett Morgan 3 Abstract In the grim and turbulent civil rights history of the city of Jacksonville, Florida, August 27, 1960 – Ax Handle Saturday – was the darkest day. On that day hundreds of white men armed with baseball bats and ax handles viciously attacked a group of high school African- American students as the students staged a nonviolent sit-in at a segregated lunch counter in a downtown five-and-dime. Notwithstanding that Ax Handle Saturday is widely regarded as the turning point in Jacksonville’s race relations it has been largely forgotten in the collective memory of the city. Attempts to commemorate the events of August 27, 1960 have been met with a singular lack of enthusiasm by both white and African-American community leaders. This paper examines the events preceding Ax Handle Saturday; the events of that day; and the aftermath of the event. This paper concludes that Ax Handle Saturday forced a reluctant Jacksonville to address its racial inequities by focusing national media attention on Jacksonville and forcing a response from city officials. 4 Table of Contents AX HANDLE SATURDAY: ........................................................................... 1 JACKSONVILLE’S DARKEST DAY ............................................................ 2 CHAPTER 1: THE INTRODUCTION ........................................................ 6 CHAPTER 2: JACKSONVILLE PRIOR TO AX HANDLE SATURDAY ..... 9 CHAPTER 3: SITUATING AX HANDLE SATURDAY IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT ................................................................................ 13 CHAPTER 4: AX HANDLE OF SATURDAY ........................................... 17 CHAPTER 5: THE AFTERMATH OF AX HANDLE SATURDAY ......

    Outline of the History of Consolidated Government in Jacksonville, Florida James C

    Outline of the History of Consolidated Government in Jacksonville, Florida James C. Rinaman, Jr., Esquire April. 2013 I. CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENTS--FORM OR FUNCTION--HISTORY. A. Consolidated governments have been created in relatively few American cities, including New Orleans 1805; Boston 1822; Philadelphia 1854; New York 1874; San Francisco 1880; Honolulu 1907; Baton Rouge 1949; Miami 1956; Nashville 1963; Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Jacksonville 1967; Indianapolis 1968; Carson City, Nevada and Juneau, Alaska 1970's, Columbus, Georgia; Lexington, Kentucky; and Oklahoma City, 1972. In 1998, Toronto was consolidated into a 350 square mile municipality of 2.5 million people, and in 2003 Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky was consolidated. B. Among 135 attempts to create a consolidated government between 1921 and 1977, 22 passed and 113 failed, including Daytona Beach, Tampa, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Pensacola, and Palm Beach in Florida, and Chattanooga, St. Louis, Des Moines, Memphis, Richmond, Raleigh/Durham, Knoxville, Albuquerque and Portland. (1949 Osceola County High School consolidation failed due to petty jealousies between St. Cloud and Kissimmee) C. Florida's traditional local government forms. Until 1968, Florida cities and counties had only those powers specifically authorized by the Florida Legislature. 1. County--roads/courts and law enforcement/collect taxes for the state/county school districts. 2. Cities--broad municipal services (fire, police, water and sewer, streets, health, sanitation, recreation, etc.). 3. Special authorities, tax districts, and independent agencies--drainage districts, ports, bridges, utilities, etc. (Disney World/Reedy Creek Drainage District) 4. 1934-1957 constitutional amendments permit Dade, Monroe, Duval and Hillsborough to create varying forms of consolidated government with home rule (implemented only in Metro Dade 1956 and Jacksonville 1967).
