We are uniquely positioned to match our local knowledge, network and credibility with the generosity and vision of our donor partners. We will leverage these resources to produce long-term, meaningful impact in our community and to encourage a culture of committed philanthropy. The ArtsCenter (above) North Carolina Symphony (right) 1 annual message EXTENDING OUR REACH An oft-mentioned belief holds that only six people separate any one person from another. Given the billions of people inhabiting the planet, that would seem, at first glance, impossible. But… It does make sense if you stop to think about the many ties binding us to people in our local community and beyond. As this past fiscal year has shown, it definitely is true for the Triangle Community Foundation family. From supporting local programs to providing aid to Katrina evacuees in the Triangle and the Gulf Coast to offering assistance to worthy programs across the nation and the world, Foundation donors have reached out to family, friends and strangers alike, significantly extending their reach each time.

  • A Stranger to Our Camps: Typhus in American History
    A Stranger to Our Camps: Typhus in American History MARGARET HUMPHREYS summary: Medical observers during the American Civil War were happily sur- prised to find that typhus fever rarely made an appearance, and was not a major killer in the prisoner-of-war camps where the crowded, filthy, and malnourished populations appeared to offer an ideal breeding ground for the disease. Through a review of apparent typhus outbreaks in America north of the Mexican border, this article argues that typhus fever rarely if ever extended to the established popula- tions of the United States, even when imported on immigrant ships into densely populated and unsanitary slums. It suggests that something in the American environment was inhospitable to the extensive spread of the disease, most likely an unrecognized difference in the North American louse population compared to that of Europe. keywords: typhus, Civil War, military medicine, relapsing fever, American Revo- lution, body louse, disease evolution “We never had real typhus in the United States,” a historian of public health told me in the late 1970s; “something wasn’t right for it here.” This pronouncement recurred out of memory recently when I was considering disease patterns in the American Civil War. Even though all the conditions appeared ripe for typhus to flourish, it indeed did not erupt within the apparently fertile fields of Civil War encampments. The official medical history of the Civil War, written in the 1880s, noted that “the records do not furnish a single instance of undoubted typhus as having occurred among our troops in the field. [T]yphus was fortunately a stranger This research was supported by grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Josiah Charles Trent Foundation, the National Library of Medicine, and Duke University.

  • “Drapetomania”
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Drapetomania” Rebellion, Defiance and Free Black Insanity In the Antebellum United States A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Bob Eberly Myers II 2014 © Copyright by Bob Eberly Myers II 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “Drapetomania” Rebellion, Defiance and Free Black Insanity In the Antebellum United States by Bob Eberly Myers II Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Theodore M. Porter (Co-chair) Professor Robin D.G. Kelley (Co-chair) This dissertation investigates how Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright used science to manufacture consent among slave laborers in the antebellum South. I hope to contribute to debates on black health by addressing the issue of mental health and the role of race in the history of psychiatry. Cartwright’s early essays and anonymous publications, heretofore addressed, provide unique insight into what led the physician to articulate blacks’ acts of defiance and rebellion as instances of mental instability. Instead of viewing black people’s vigilance for freedom as earnest, Cartwright was well known for having delineated a variety of mental disorders to which he claimed all Africans were prone, including shirking work related responsibilities (Dysaesthesia Aethiopica), and the practice of running away to freedom (Drapetomania). This dissertation demonstrates how Cartwright mobilized statistics and diagnostic categories in hopes to convince others to limit
