  • Economic Impacts of the Proposed Pullman National Historical Park
    FINAL REPORT Economic Impacts of the Proposed Pullman National Historical Park Submitted To: National Parks Conservation Association August 2, 2013 MFA Project Number 548 Executive Summary The National Parks Conservation Association (“NPCA” or “Client”) retained Market Feasibility Advisors, LLC (“MFA”) to assess the economic impacts of the potential designation of the historic Pullman neighborhood as a Pullman National Historical Park (“Park”) by the National Park Service (“NPS”). Pullman is a Chicago neighborhood located approximately 15 miles due south of downtown. It appears that the Pullman Historic District features all the attributes necessary to be designated as a unit of the National Park System, an action that could greatly enhance the revitalization of the area and preserve the architectural and cultural heritage that makes it such a historical treasure. Pullman showcases 19th and 20th Century industrial society with unique stories of architecture, labor history— including formation of the first African-American labor union, landscape design, urban planning, and transportation history. The convergence of multiple stories of undisputed national significance makes Pullman worthy of national park status. As an example of vertical integration, Pullman was only surpassed by Henry Ford’s River Rouge complex, presenting a historical model of corporate structure very much emulated in today’s world. Pullman offers ample opportunities for public use and enjoyment, in an environment rich in history. The economic impacts of the proposed National Historical Park designation would vary greatly depending on the specific actions taken in regards to that designation. It is MFA’s understanding that at this time NPS has not created any plans, let any contracts, or partnered with any concessionaires to operate anything in Pullman.

  • The Meecheegander Missives
    The Meecheegander Missives: Information on Michigan and Detroit to Prepare Information and Referral Professionals for the 2011 AIRS Conference in the ‘D’ June 5 – 8, 2011 The Meecheegander Missives.doc i The original posts to the AIRS Networker listserve were made daily from April 10, 2011 to June 5, 2011. During June, July, and August, the posts were collected into a single document, corrected when necessary, reformatted, garnished with illustrations pirated from the Internet, and indexed. Final edits were made August 10, 2011. The Meecheegander Missives.doc ii Introduction When it was announced that the 2011 Annual Training and Education Conference of the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) was coming to Michigan, those of us on the board of the local affiliate, MI-AIRS, knew we had our work cut out for us. With the help of Sharon Galler (who has coordinated AIRS Conferences from coast to coast), we divvied up assignments and set to work. I volunteered to write an FAQ for the Conference (a copy of which can be found at the back of this document) to be posted on the MI-AIRS Web site. And I also impetuously volunteered to contribute daily postings promoting the conference to the AIRS Networker , the listserv that’s followed by most people in the profession of community information and referral. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I enjoy writing, and how much work could it take—15 or 20 minutes a day or so? WRONG. It wound up taking a lot more time and effort than I had anticipated.

Korstad, Supervisor ___________________________ Adriane Lentz-Smith ___________________________ Dirk Bönker ___________________________ Thavolia Glymph ___________________________ Matthew Lassiter An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2015 i v Copyright by Michael Stauch, Jr. 2015 Abstract This dissertation is a history of the city of Detroit in the 1970s. Using archives official and unofficial - oral histories and archived document collections, self-published memoirs and legal documents, personal papers and the newspapers of the radical press – it portrays a city in flux. It was in the 1970s that the urban crisis in the cities of the United States crested. Detroit, as had been the case throughout the twentieth century, was at the forefront of these changes. This dissertation demonstrates the local social, political, economic and legislative circumstances that contributed to the dramatic increase in prison populations since the 1970s. In the streets, unemployed African American youth organized themselves to counteract the contracted social distribution allocated to them under rapidly changing economic circumstances.
