    SHIFTING IDEOLOGY IN MILDRED D. TAYLOR’S BOOKS by Pamela Manley Davis A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Martha P. Hixon Dr. Will Brantley Dr. Robert C. Petersen I dedicate this dissertation in honor of my husband, Douglas P. Davis, without whose support I could neither have begun nor completed my doctorate and in memory of my parents, Sarah P. and Theodore M. Manley, who, as Mildred Taylor’s parents did for her, believed I could accomplish anything I was determined to do. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I offer thanks to many who have spurred me on to complete my dissertation. First, I am grateful to Mildred D. Taylor who not only wrote these books I find so captivating but who allowed me to get to know her a bit better from her correspondence and her gifts. I valued my telephone conversations with Dr. Chris Crowe. Dr. Ellen Donovan first sparked the idea for this dissertation from a paper I wrote for her History of Children’s Literature class. She encouraged me in the beginning of my study, for which I am grateful, and her pursuit of excellence inspired me. Dr. Martha Hixon relentlessly pursued my project to the end, for which my husband is especially appreciative. Dr. Will Brantley and Dr. Bob Petersen were patient and thought-provoking readers, and are also favorites of my husband. Dr. Jenny Marchant, Dr. Laura Dubek, and Dr. Mischa Renfroe guided me wisely. I was excited to receive the signed copy of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry from Dr.

  • Linkedin Summary of Dick Anderson
    Summary of Dick Anderson’s Career Dick has been the #1 Inventor & Innovator in Racing Shocks, springs & suspensions – for over 40 years. I spent most of my life in Auto Racing: When I was 13, in 1952, some older boys in the neighborhood took me with them to a Stock Car Race (Jalopies – mostly late 30’s fords). I really enjoyed it but was confused: Why many cars in the back of each race roll-over? In the last race, the Feature – about ½ of them rolled over! I found out they got paid $5 roll-over money – they were going to at least get gas money to go home. I was hooked! At age 14, I was selling Flathead Ford parts (new, used & speed equipment) out of my “bedroom” in Crystal Lake IL (about 50 miles NW of Chicago) and built my first Hot Rod in 1954, a ’32 Ford 3-window coupe with a full- race flathead in it – never got beat! But, when the 55 Chev came out, one of my buddies bought one and he came closer than anyone before him, so I put a Chrysler Hemi V8 in it in 1955 – problem solved! I worked full-time as an Electronic Development Engineer (late nights & weekends through High School) from age 15 to 19 – did the production engineering of all the electronic coils used in the very 1st Microwave Relay Station System) and was “mentored” by one of the best machinists ever, George Stevenson (George made the specialized production equipment we needed for the Electronic Coil business I was working for, CoilCraft – still a leader).

  • Mcclintock Drive Resident Feedback Via Email and Phone Calls Excluding 311 April 2015 to March 17, 2016
    McClintock Drive Resident Feedback Via email and phone calls excluding 311 April 2015 to March 17, 2016 POSITIVE 1. 4/24/2015 Dear Tempe City Council Members, Please install bike lanes on McClintock between Broadway and Guadalupe. This will make crossing the US-60 between my apartment in Tempe and my parents' house in Chandler much safer. Thanks for considering this proposition and for making our city safe and beautiful! Sincerely, Julie Cameron 2. 4/24/2015 Members of the Council, I am writing you to express my strong support for the City's recently announced project to remove excess, no longer needed, vehicle lanes on McClintock from Broadway to Guadalupe, which will reduce speeding and crashes on the corridor while creating space to add bike lanes and improve transportation options. As someone who has lived here for about 8 years (2005-2015, with a 2 year exodus to Chicago from 2009-2011), I can testify to the fact that this improvement is sorely needed, and that traffic levels have dropped in the last decade to the point that this is a feasible opportunity that won’t have negative impacts on traffic. When I first moved here in 2005, I remember both driving and riding a bike from ASU to the Target store on Baseline and McClintock fairly often, before Tempe Marketplace opened. When driving, I would often get stuck in a lot of traffic on McClintock, and when riding my bike, I would often feel very unsafe. The road had too much traffic for me to feel comfortable or safe riding on the street, while the sidewalk felt unsafe because it is narrow, with many driveways interrupting it.

Golter iii THESIS ABSTRACT Samuel V. Golter Master of Arts School of Music and Dance September 2017 Title: Women Rappers and Neoliberal Indifference: Reevaluating the Racial and Sexual Politics of Gangsta Rap in the Early 1988-1994 This thesis asks why women gangsta rappers have been excluded from virtually all academic and popular discourses about the genre. While ‘positive’ and ‘empowering’ New York-based female rappers in the late 80s and 90s are often referenced by those concerned with gangsta rap’s misogynistic tendencies, women rappers in Los Angeles who performed alongside male gangsta rappers, were represented on labels managed by gangsta rappers, and were otherwise self- consciously engaging in the gangsta rap style are almost never acknowledged by either the genre’s defenders or detractors.
