Biographical / Historical Reg McGovern (1920-2015) had a 36-year career as a newspaper photographer in Redwood City and Palo Alto, and he received many journalism awards for his photography. He had a second, concurrent creative career as the owner of Fidelity Sound Recordings, which specialized in the kind of band music he had loved from his boyhood. McGovern played in the band at Sequoia High School in his Redwood City hometown and, as a teenager, would dial the radio knob searching for band music. McGovern served on a Coast Guard ship in the South Pacific during World War II and, after his return, he found it increasingly difficult to find records to add to his collection. In the early 1950s, he decided to tackle this deficiency himself and formed Fidelity Sound Recordings. He acquired recording equipment, taught himself how to capture marching or concert bands on tape, and how to produce records, most often taking his own photographs for the album covers. He began with local college bands but soon went back to New Zealand and Australia, returning dozens of times over the next decades to record bands, including the National Band of New Zealand and the New Zealand Army Band. In later years, he recorded bands in the United Kingdom and in Europe, including the Band of H.M. Royal Marines and the City Band of Vienna, as well as military, village and youth bands in Germany and other countries. McGovern had a particular love of brass bands, and his company had a long association with the Salvation Army in the United States and abroad, capturing world-class groups on audio tape. Fidelity Sound Recordings enjoyed an equally warm and productive relationship with the Ohio State University Marching Band, producing the all-brass band's first commercial recording in 1958, the first of about two dozen over four decades. In 2005, his contribution to the band was recognized Fidelity Sound Recordings ARS.0212 2 Collection ARS.0212 when he received an honorary life membership in the TBDBITL Alumni Club (The Best Damned Band in the Land) before an audience of 13,000 at St. John Arena in Columbus. McGovern's drive and passion for music resulted in a wide-ranging catalogue of U.S. and international recordings, from Big Ten marching bands to Maori choirs, and he enabled musical groups to reach a wider audience. He carved out an underserved niche in the recording industry and preserved the music he loved in various formats from 10-inch records to LPs, 8-track tape, cassettes and CDs, a prodigious output for someone working full-time as a news photographer. Reg McGovern was the son of one of San Mateo County's early sheriffs. His younger brother, Lloyd McGovern, was a Stanford graduate known for his knowledge of college sports who was instrumental in establishing the university's Sports Hall of Fame.

    WWelcomeelcome ttoo TTroy...roy... Did You Know? · The USC School of Cinema c Arts (above) was proud to both celebrate its 80th anniversary during the 2009-10 academic year, and open the doors on the fi rst two buildings in its new Cinema c Arts complex, which pays homage to the cinema c history of Southern California and USC. The new Cinema c Arts complex was built, thanks to a $175 million dona on by USC alumnus George Lucas. The now-completed complex includes an anima on building, soundstages and a produc on center. In February 2010, the Princeton Review ranked USC's Interac ve Media division as the No. 1 video-game design program in North America. Game design formally got its start at USC in 2002, when the USC School of Cinema c Arts launched its MFA in interac ve media, although a core game-design workshop had been in place since 1999. In 2004, the school unveiled the Game Innova on Lab, a state-of-the-art research space and think tank for game design and crea on. A B.A. in interac ve entertainment was fi rst off ered in 2005. Today, USC off ers four degrees in video-game development at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

  • The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation.
