  • 16 April 1963 My Dear Fellow Clergymen
    16 April 1963 My Dear Fellow Clergymen: While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities “unwise and untimely.” Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view which argues against “outsiders coming in.” I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Frequently we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago the affiliate here in Birmingham asked us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented, and when the hour came we lived up to our promise. So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here. I am here because I have organizational ties here.

  • Louisville Kentucky During the First Year of the Civil
    LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE CIVIL WAR BY WILLIAM G. EIDSON Nashville, Tennessee During the first eight months of 1861 the majority of Kentuckians favored neither secession from the Union nor coercion of the seceded states. It has been claimed that since the state opposed secession it was pro-Union, but such an assertion is true only in a limited sense. Having the same domestic institutions as the cotton states, Kentucky was con- cerned by the tension-filled course of events. Though the people of Kentucky had no desire to see force used on the southern states, neither did they desire to leave the Union or see it broken. Of course, there were some who openly and loudly advocated that their beloved commonwealth should join its sister states in the South. The large number of young men from the state who joined the Con- federate army attest to this. At the same time, there were many at the other extreme who maintained that Kentucky should join the northern states in forcibly preventing any state from withdrawing from the Union. Many of the moderates felt any such extreme action, which would result in open hostility between the two sections, would be especially harmful to a border state such as Kentucky. As the Daily Louisville Democrat phrased it, "No matter which party wins, we lose." 1 Thus moderates emphasized the economic advantages of a united country, sentimental attachment to the Union, and the hope of compromise. In several previous crises the country had found compromise through the leadership of great Kentuckians.

  • 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Illustration by Carrie Neumayer “Thanks for Doing Great Work
    2017 ANNUAL REPORT Illustration by Carrie Neumayer “Thanks for doing great work. Kentucky needs more investigative journalism. Keep it up.” — Jessie Skaggs, Paintsville, KY Photo: J. Tyler Franklin / LPM About Us The Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting is a non- profit, nonpartisan newsroom founded in 2013 by Louisville Public Media, a 501(c)3 corporation that operates three public radio stations, including 89.3 WFPL News. KyCIR works with WFPL and other news partners across the region to produce and distribute original reporting in the public interest. Our journalism affects you, your neighbor- hood and your commonwealth. Our mission is to protect society’s most vulnerable citi- zens, expose wrongdoing in the public and private sectors, increase transparency in government and hold leaders accountable, all in accordance with journalism’s highest standards. Many newsrooms today are facing difficult choices. Some are shrinking staff and cutting back on investigative report- ing, which takes significant time and resources. At KyCIR, we believe this in-depth reporting is critical. Our journalism shines a light on major problems in our city and state, sparks conversation and spurs solutions. We are members of our community. And our work is funded and supported by our community. 1 A Note From The Interim President At Louisville Public Media, we measure impact not by clicks, but by actions. And in 2017, KyCIR’s reporting generated unprecedented impact in our community and our commonwealth. In September, we reported that Louisville police were helping federal of- ficials conduct immigration raids and enforce federal policy that’s well out- side their purview.

  • Nashville Community Theatre: from the Little Theatre Guild
    NASHVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE: FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE A THESIS IN Theatre History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri – Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by ANDREA ANDERSON B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University, 2003 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 ANDREA JANE ANDERSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD AND THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Andrea Jane Anderson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri - Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In the early 20th century the Little Theatre Movement swept through the United States. Theatre enthusiasts in cities and towns across the country sought to raise the standards of theatrical productions by creating quality volunteer-driven theatre companies that not only entertained, but also became an integral part of the local community. This paper focuses on two such groups in the city of Nashville, Tennessee: the Little Theatre Guild of Nashville (later the Nashville Little Theatre) and the Nashville Community Playhouse. Both groups shared ties to the national movement and showed a dedication for producing the most current and relevant plays of the day. In this paper the formation, activities, and closure of both groups are discussed as well as their impact on the current generation of theatre artists. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Nashville Community Theatre: From the Little Theatre Guild to the Nashville Community Playhouse,” presented by Andrea Jane Anderson, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • Friends and Co-Workers Remember Thom Gregory, a Longtime Gannett Employee
    Friends and co-workers remember Thom Gregory, a longtime Gannett employee Allie Clouse, Knoxville News Sentinel Published 3:55 p.m. ET March 11, 2020 Thomas "Thom" Gregory, 56, unexpectedly died of a heart attack early Sunday morning in Knoxville, where he lived with his wife, Lisa. Gregory was a USA TODAY Network regional director and general manager of the Knoxville News Sentinel's printing operation. He worked for Gannett at various Tennessee news operations for nearly 30 years. Just a couple of days earlier, Gregory was hard at work as always, ensuring that whatever was printed was of the highest quality. "It's hard to put Thom into words," Tony Clifton, his longtime friend, told Knox News. "He was a good, hardworking country boy." Gregory and Clifton went to school together in Franklin, Kentucky, where most of Gregory's family lives. In high school, Gregory met Clifton and his future wife. Gregory's family owned a farm in the small community, but instead of taking over the family business, Gregory started working at a local print shop. That's where his love for newspaper printing started. He went to college at Western Kentucky University and earned a degree in mathematics with a minor in physics. He started working for Gannett in 1990. "To him, it was all math," his wife, Lisa Gregory, said. "Laying out the paper was about numbers, so it came easy." Gregory spent about 25 years of his career at The Tennessean in Nashville. In 2017, he moved with his wife to work in Jackson, Tennessee, at The Jackson Sun.
