  • The Late Registrations and Corrections to Greene County Birth Records
    Index for Late Registrations and Corrections to Birth Records held at the Greene County Records Center and Archives The late registrations and corrections to Greene County birth records currently held at the Greene County Records Center and Archives were recorded between 1940 and 1991, and include births as early as 1862 and as late as 1989. These records represent the effort of county government to correct the problem of births that had either not been recorded or were not recorded correctly. Often times the applicant needed proof of birth to obtain employment, join the military, or draw on social security benefits. An index of the currently available microfilmed records was prepared in 1989, and some years later, a supplemental index of additional records held by Greene County was prepared. In 2011, several boxes of Probate Court documents containing original applications and backup evidence in support of the late registrations and corrections to the birth records were sorted and processed for archival storage. This new index includes and integrates all the bound and unbound volumes of late registrations and corrections of birth records, and the boxes of additional documents held in the Greene County Archives. The index allows researchers to view a list arranged in alphabetical order by the applicant’s last name. It shows where the official record is (volume and page number) and if there is backup evidence on file (box and file number). A separate listing is arranged alphabetically by mother’s maiden name so that researchers can locate relatives of female relations. Following are listed some of the reasons why researchers should look at the Late Registrations and Corrections to Birth Records: 1.

    557. Small-Screen Souths: Interrogating the Televisual Archive 1:45-3:00 p.m., 114 VCC West Program arranged by the Society for the Study of Southern Literature. Presiding: Gina Caison, Georgia State Univ. 1. “Mid-Century Transition: Lost Boundaries and Early Television,” Robert A. Jackson, Univ. of Tulsa Abstract: “We are here to say to the white men that we no longer will let them use clubs on us in the dark corners,” declared Martin Luther King, Jr. in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965. “We’re going to make them do it in the glaring light of television.” Yet the relationship between television and the American civil rights struggle dates back well before the most iconic images of the movement—white mobs, police dogs, fire hoses; defiant segregationist politicians railing against “outside agitators”; and King himself—of the late 1950s and 1960s. Indeed, early television was the site of contested visions of race, anticipating the long-familiar television/civil rights collaboration, in important, if less famous, ways. My paper will consider Lost Boundaries (1949), one of several post-World War II “social problem” films addressing racism. When censorship authorities in Memphis and Atlanta banned the film to prevent its theatrical exhibition, producer Louis de Rochemont attempted to buy time to air the Lost Boundaries on those cities’ television stations, over which municipal film censors had no legal authority. Thus, to some observers of this and other contemporary episodes, television at midcentury represented a new frontier in the history of the mediation of race, leading Ebony magazine to state as early as 1950 that “television is free of racial barriers.” The case of Lost Boundaries in the South, where authorities responded to de Rochemont’s surprising move with bewilderment and suspicion, reveals both the possibilities for progress and the institutional complexity of the postwar transition from the old studio model of theatrical exhibition to an emerging regime of televised programming in the private domestic realm.
