In March, 1893 Gen. Young W- appointed h*~anminister to Guatemala and Honduras, Central America, and on Aprw --qssga he was formally installed. Trade and friendly relations were en- couraged by appointing a man of Gen. Young's attributes. Gen. Young, though popular with the ladies, never married and when his appointment from "cold" Russia to "hot" matemala came, someone wrote: "All hail, the gallant Georgian Who goes to Guatemala, To beax aloft our country's flag And eat the hot tamale!- The nation's int'rests will be safe With such a pink of duty, But how mi fare it with the heart Of some Honduran beauty?" an. Young at one time was engaged to Miss Mattie Ould of Richmond, Va., a famous beauty and noted for her repartee. One evening while in her father'a Ubrary, her head resting on her lover's shoulder, the father entered unexpectedly. Shocked and indignant, he approached Gen Young when with her ready wit she said, "Oh, father dear, it's nothing. It is not the 0mt time an Odd head has been put on Young shoulders"! A soldier who loved battle and the opportunity it offers to bravery and skill died of a slow disease. He returned to New Tork from Central America,, broken in health and died July 6, 1896 in the Presbyterian hospital in New York City. He was buried in Oak Hill cemetery at Cartersville with the greatest pomp and cere- mony ever seen in Cartersville.

    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

Cook, Chair Professor Philip J. Deloria Professor Susan J. Douglass Professor Penny Von Eschen © Laura A. Hymson 2011 Acknowledgements I owe an extraordinary debt to the people and institutions that helped and supported me as I worked to complete this dissertation. While working on this project, I spent time in several cities, including: Ann Arbor, New York, Atlanta, Urbana- Champagne, Alexandria, Washington, D.C, Newark, and Hartford. In all of these places where I have lived, researched, or taught, I have been shown incredible kindness and I am grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way. Thanks first to the chair of my dissertation committee, Jay Cook, who has been exceptionally generous with his time. Without his insightful feedback, invaluable advice, and thoughtful comments this dissertation would not have been possible. I can only hope to be as effective and compassionate as a teacher and mentor as he has been to me. My entire dissertation committee was composed of scholars whose work I truly admire and I am grateful for the time they devoted to my ideas and my work. Penny Von Eschen and Phil Deloria provided important feedback on drafts, and made suggestions for research and writing that helped advance my thinking on a number key issues at the heart of this project.
