  • Art in America the EPIC BANAL
    Art in America THE EPIC BANAL BY: Amy Sherald, Tyler Mitchell May 7, 2021 10:08am Tyler Mitchell: Untitled (Blue Laundry Line), 2019. Amy Sherald (https://www.artnews.com/t/amy-sherald/): A Midsummer Afternoon Dream, 2020, oil on canvas, 106 by 101 inches. Tyler Mitchell and Amy Sherald—two Atlanta-born, New York–based artists—both capture everyday joy in their images of Black Americans. Recurring motifs in Mitchell’s photographs, installations, and videos include outdoor space and fashionable friends. Sherald, a painter, shares similar motifs: her colorful paintings with pastel palettes show Black people enjoying American moments, their skin painted in grayscale, the backgrounds and outfits flat. Both are best known for high-profile portrait commissions: in 2018 Mitchell became the first Black photographer to have a work grace the cover of Vogue. That shot of Beyoncé was followed, more recently, by a portrait of Kamala Harris for the same publication. Michelle Obama commissioned Amy Sherald to paint her portrait, and last year Vanity Fair asked Sherald to paint Breonna Taylor for a cover too. Below, the artists discuss the influence of the South on their work, and how they navigate art versus commercial projects. —Eds. Amy Sherald: Precious jewels by the sea, 2019, oil on canvas, 120 by 108 inches. TYLER MITCHELL: Amy, we spoke before about finding freedom and making your own moments of joy. I think of Precious jewels by the sea [2019]—your painting of two couples at the beach, showing the men standing with the women on their shoulders—as a moment that you constructed.

The United States suffered an economic downturn throughout the 1820s, which especially affected South Carolina. Many South Carolina politicians blamed the economic downturn on the national tariff policy that was enacted after the War of 1812. This tariff policy was implemented to help Northern manufacturing industries better compete in domestic markets against well established European manufacturers. The Nullification Crisis occurred when the South Carolina state government refused to enforce the federal government’s tariffs, declaring them to be unconstitutional.

  • Nullification Crisis: Civil War Averted the Economies of the North and South
    NULLIFICATION CRISIS: CIVIL WAR AVERTED THE ECONOMIES OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH Economy of the North Fishing, shipbuilding industry and naval supplies, trade and port cities Skilled craftsmen, shopkeepers, manufacturing (textiles, tools, metals, building materials, etc.) Economy of the South Large farms/plantations, cash crops (tobacco, indigo, rice, cotton), wood products, small farms Slavery THE DEBATE OVER TARIFFS Tariffs are taxes that the government puts on imported goods (Goods brought in from other countries). Pro: If you were a craftsman or manufacturer in the United States, you would like tariffs because your products would not have that additional tax, therefore your products are cheaper than foreign products. People will be more likely to buy your products. Con: If your business is agriculture, you need to sell your food and raw materials and buy manufactured goods. You may depend on foreign nations to buy your goods and in return you buy their manufactured goods. You are afraid that tariffs will make foreign goods more expensive. You worry that if you don’t buy their goods, then they won’t buy your farm goods and your economy will suffer. 1828 Congress passes a controversial high protective tariff Who do you predict will support this new law, and who will oppose this tariff? JOHN C. CALHOUN Vice President under Andrew Jackson Believed the Tariff of 1828 was unconstitutional since it favored the North Insisted that states had a right to refuse to follow a law if the state felt it violated its rights States could declare a federal law null and void This is called nullification, a rejection of the law He and many other Southerners called the 1928 tariff a “Tariff of Abominations” ANDREW JACKSON 7th President of the United States Believed in preserving the Union and fought nullification Recommended to Congress to reduce the Tariff of 1828, so they passed another tariff in 1832 NULLIFICATION ORDINANCE South Carolina was not pleased with the new tariff either.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY THE INFLUENCE OF THE 1830s NULLIFICATION CRISIS ON THE 1860s SECESSION CRISIS JAMES MANGIARACINA SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Amy Greenberg Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of History and Women’s Studies Thesis Supervisor Mike Milligan Senior Lecturer in History Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This thesis aims to connect the constitutional arguments for and against secession during the Nullification Crisis of 1832 with the constitutional arguments for and against secession during the Secession Crisis of 1860-1861. Prior to the Nullification Crisis, Vice President John C. Calhoun, who has historically been considered to be a leading proponent of secession, outlined his doctrine of nullification in 1828. This thesis argues that Calhoun’s doctrine was initially intended to preserve the Union. However, after increasingly high protective tariffs, the state delegates of the South Carolina Nullification Convention radicalized his version of nullification as expressed in the Ordinance of Nullification of 1832. In response to the Ordinance, President Andrew Jackson issued his Proclamation Regarding Nullification. In this document, Jackson vehemently opposed the notion of nullification and secession through various constitutional arguments. Next, this thesis will look at the Bluffton Movement of 1844 and the Nashville Convention of 1850. In the former, Robert Barnwell Rhett pushed for immediate nullification of the new protective Tariff of 1842 or secession. In this way, Rhett further removed Calhoun’s original intention of nullification and radicalized it.

  • BLACK LIVES MATTER and BLACK POWER By
    BLACK LIVES MATTER AND BLACK POWER by Daviana Fraser A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Studies Charlotte 2021 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Richard Leeman ______________________________ Dr. Jason Edward Black ______________________________ Dr. Janaka Lewis ii ©2021 Daviana Fraser ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT DAVIANA FRASER. Black Lives Matter and Black Power. Under the direction of DR. RICHARD LEEMAN Today, Black Americans face the same foes as in previous efforts to secure civil rights. Over the last decade, names like Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Keith Lamont Scott, Philando Castile, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor join those of Emmett Till, Rodney King and countless others as causalities of white supremacy. This recurrence has ignited and unified a generation of activists through the phrase “Black Lives Matter.” The Black Lives Matter movement, like the Black Power movement, has named Blackness as a nexus for racial equity. For both movements, the specification of Blackness responded to a need to differentiate the experiences of Black people under racial oppression from others and binds members of this oppressed community to one another. In juxtaposition, both movements also trace the progression of Black centered social justice efforts led by and for members of the Black community who identify with the use of justified anger against injustice. These movements serve as critiques of the mainstream Civil Rights Movement and the ways that its leaders prioritized the feelings and permissions of white people. The objective of this thesis is to conduct a comparative analysis of Black Power and Black Lives Matter in order to better understand the rhetorical strategies of the latter, contemporary movement.

The number of American ser- vice members in the country was officially reduced to 2,500 in the final days of the Trump adminis- tration — the lowest level since the start of the war — but the number actually dropped to around 3,500, the newspaper re- ported Sunday. The difference is the result of some special operations forces being “off the books” and some temporary and transitioning units being in theater, the report said. It cited unnamed American, Eu- ropean and Afghan officials.
