Voulgaris A Thesis in the Field of History for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 © November 2016, Panos John Voulgaris Abstract The rhetoric and life of Muhammad Ali greatly influenced the advancement of African Americans. How did the words of Ali impact the development of black America in the twentieth century? What role does Ali hold in history? Ali was a supremely talented artist in the boxing ring, but he was also acutely aware of his cultural significance. The essential question that must be answered is how Ali went from being one of the most reviled people in white America to an icon of humanitarianism for all people. He sought knowledge through personal experience and human interaction and was profoundly influenced by his own upbringing in the throes of Louisville’s Jim Crow segregation.

  • 1 the ROARING FORK LAND GRANTS Copyright and All Rights Reserved Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Big Stone Gap, Virginia August 2018
    THE ROARING FORK LAND GRANTS Copyright and all rights reserved Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Big Stone Gap, Virginia August 2018 (version 10-20-18) Foreword Roaring Fork of the Powell River is a special place. Its desolation and isolation are noteworthy. Its place in our early history is forgotten. Its remarkable geography is approximated by only two other places in the United States, Rocky Mountain National Park and Boone, North Carolina. It is one of the two major tributaries of the southernmost of the two North Forks of the Powell River of Virginia, which is the westernmost tributary of the Tennessee. It starts at the very spine of the Appalachians. Black Mountain, Indian Mountain, Pine Mountain, and Roger’s Ridge meet at Bakers Flats, a mountain top plateau. Water falling on Baker’s Flats can run off either into the Big Sandy River, a tributary of the Ohio, or into the Cumberland, which courses into Tennessee before reentering Kentucky, like an errant child. Or it can flow via Roaring Fork into the Tennessee, before it and the Cumberland both empty into the Ohio just before that river flows into the Mississippi. Just over the ridge to the west, the Kentucky River starts its journey to the Ohio. It once was the major route of travel from Powell Valley into Kentucky, and the Old Ohio Country. The old trails made by the buffalo, elk, and deer – followed first by the Indian, and later by the Long Hunters and settlers – came out of Clinch Valley and up Big Stony Creek to High Knob, and then across Little Stone Mountain to Kelly View, and to the mouth of Roaring Fork at Kent Junction.

  • Bluegrass Region Is Bounded by the Knobs on the West, South, and East, and by the Ohio River in the North
    BOONE Bluegrass KENTONCAMPBELL Region GALLATIN PENDLETON CARROLL BRACKEN GRANT Inner Bluegrass TRIMBLE MASON Bluegrass Hills OWEN ROBERTSON LEWIS HENRY HARRISON Outer Bluegrass OLDHAM FLEMING NICHOLAS Knobs and Shale SCOTT FRANKLIN SHELBY BOURBON Alluvium JEFFERSON BATH Sinkholes SPENCER FAYETTE MONTGOMERY ANDERSONWOODFORD BULLITT CLARK JESSAMINE NELSON MERCER POWELL WASHINGTON MADISON ESTILL GARRARD BOYLE MARION LINCOLN The Bluegrass Region is bounded by the Knobs on the west, south, and east, and by the Ohio River in the north. Bedrock in most of the region is composed of Ordovician limestones and shales 450 million years old. Younger Devonian, Silurian, and Mississippian shales and limestones form the Knobs Region. Much of the Ordovician strata lie buried beneath the surface. The oldest rocks at the surface in Kentucky are exposed along the Palisades of the Kentucky River. Limestones are quarried or mined throughout the region for use in construction. Water from limestone springs is bottled and sold. The black shales are a potential source of oil. The Bluegrass, the first region settled by Europeans, includes about 25 percent of Kentucky. Over 50 percent of all Kentuckians live there an average 190 people per square mile, ranging from 1,750 people per square mile in Jefferson County to 23 people per square mile in Robertson County. The Inner Blue Grass is characterized by rich, fertile phosphatic soils, which are perfect for raising thoroughbred horses. The gently rolling topography is caused by the weathering of limestone that is typical of the Ordovician strata of central Kentucky, pushed up along the Cincinnati Arch. Weathering of the limestone also produces sinkholes, sinking streams, springs, caves, and soils.
