We presume you would find this accept-, able, even preferable, since the expe of hauling lorn; distance would be eliminated. Ihis committee will be meeting in October,, We shall also make inquiries of various agencies which might provide hauling with little or no charge so that it would be practical to ask our members to make contributions in kind. If you are aware of any existing arrangements we would be pleased to know about the .. A*1? suggestions from you concerning the kind of food most, needed, or to be avoided, would be appreciated. We can see possible problems entailed in collecting a wide variety of foods - store-bought - and home canned, in a variety of sizes, shapes, and containers, and packing them suitably for efficient and safe hauling. djneerely Hours, ^uiP S:s Education Director cc: Jerry Voorhis •.".. -€l : Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee National Haadquartom 6 Raymond Stroof, N.W. © Atlanta 14, Goorgia • Ar.a Cod* 404 - o88-0331 Tel. 387-7445 3418 Eleventh Street, N.W.

  • More Than Mrs Robinson: Citizenship Schools in Lowcountry South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, 1957-1970
    More Than Mrs Robinson: Citizenship Schools in Lowcountry South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, 1957-1970 (A Dissertation submitted in requirement for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy, The University of Nottingham, October 2009) Clare Russell 1 Abstract The first ―citizenship school‖ (a literacy class that taught adults to read and write in order that they could register to vote) was established by Highlander Folk School of Monteagle, Tennessee on Johns Island, South Carolina in 1957. Within three years, the schools were extended across the neighboring Sea Islands, to mainland Charleston and to Savannah, Georgia. In 1961, after Highlander faced legal challenges to its future, it transferred the schools to the fledgling Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), who extended the program across the South. Historians have made far-reaching claims for the successes and benefits of the schools. For example, they claim that they recruited inexperienced but committed people and raised them to the status of community leaders; that they encouraged civic cooperation and political activism and formed the ―foundation on which the civil rights movement‖ was built and they argue that the schools were an unprecedented opportunity for women to develop as activists and as leaders. Yet, they base these claims on certain myths about the schools: that the first teacher Bernice Robinson was an inexperienced and uneducated teacher, that her class was a blueprint for similar ones and that Highlander bequeathed its educational philosophy to the SCLC program. They make claims about female participation without analyzing the gender composition of classes. This dissertation challenges these assumptions by comparing and contrasting programs established in Lowcountry South Carolina and in Savannah.

  • Progressive Club
    Acknowledgements The Graduate program in Historic Preservation sponsored through Clemson Uni- versity and the College of Charleston would like to extend our thanks to the fol- lowing groups and individuals: The family of Esau Jenkins, The Progressive Club Board members, Wesley United Methodist Church, Craig Bennett with Bennett Preservation Engineering, Historic Charleston Foundation, Clemson University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Professor Amalia Leifeste, teaching assistants Sarah Sanders and Amber Anderson, and the community of John’s Island. Project Completed by: Jane Ashburn, Amanda Brown, Naomi Doddington, John Evangelist, Brent Fortenberry, Jessica Fortney, Haley Schriber, Anna Simpkins, Jean Stoll, Michelle Thompson, Rachel Walling, Meghan White, & Meredith Wilson 1 Introduction The Graduate Program in Historic Preservation with Clemson University/College of Charleston has spent one month researching and documenting the Progressive Club on Johns Island, South Carolina. We spent time researching the history of the Progressive Club so that we had a bet- ter understanding of the structure we would be studying and documenting. Our first day on site, the class divided into small teams, each focusing at a different section of the building and working on measured drawings. All interior and exterior walls have been measured to 1/8 inch per the Historic American Buildings Survey standards. The field drawings and measurements were then entered into AutoCAD software to create digital drawings. See the Progressive Club measured drawings section for the result of this work. Next our class assessed conditions of the Progressive Club. Groups looked at struc- tural concerns where walls are bowing outward, areas with bio growth, areas where chemical alterations have occurred and mechanical failures in the building material.

Dr. Lorenzo Greene, history professor, Lincoln University, born 1899 in Ansonia, CT worked for Dr. Carter G. Woodson at Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History and Dr. W.E.B.
