  • A Light in the Darkness: Florence Nightingale's Legacy
    A Light in the Darkness: FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE’S LEGACY Florence Nightingale, a pioneer of nursing, was born on May 12, 1820. In celebration of her 200th birthday, the World Health Organization declared 2020 the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife.” It's now clear that nurses and health care providers of all kinds face extraordinary circumstances this year. Nightingale had a lasting influence on patient care that's apparent even today. Nightingale earned the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp” because she checked on patients at night, which was rare at the time and especially rare for head nurses to do. COURTESY OF THE WELLCOME COLLECTION When Florence Nightingale was growing up in England in the early 19th century, nursing was not yet a respected profession. It was a trade that involved little training. Women from upper-class families like hers were not expected to handle strangers’ bodily functions. She defied her family because she saw nursing as a calling. Beginning in 1854, Nightingale led a team of nurses in the Crimean War, stationed in present-day Turkey. She saw that the overcrowded, stuffy hospital with an overwhelmed sewer system was leading to high death rates. She wrote to newspapers back home, inspiring the construction of a new hospital. In celebration of: Brought to you by: Nightingale, who wrote several books on hospital and nursing practice, is often portrayed with a letter or writing materials. COURTESY OF THE WELLCOME COLLECTION A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH After the war, Nightingale founded the Nightingale created Nightingale Training School at cutting-edge charts, like this one, which displayed the St.

  • Reaction and Reform: Transforming Under Alabama's Constitution, 190 1-1975
    REACTIONAND REFORM:TRANSFORMING THE JUDICIARY UNDERALABAMA'S CONSTITUTION, 190 1-1975 Tony A. Freyer* Paul M. Pruitt, Jr.** During the twentieth century Alabama's Constitution of 1901 proved resistant to change. At the turn of the century, the constitution emerged from a predominately small-town, rural society and a political order controlled by a Democratic Party committed to white supremacy. Over the course of the seven decades that followed, amid the Great De- pression, World War 11, and the Civil Rights struggle, leaders of the state's social and political order appealed to the legitimacy the constitu- tion represented to justify the status quo.' Ultimately, with the support of the United States Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, the na- tional government, and Northern public opinion, African-Americans overcame the Alabama Constitution's sanction of Jim Crow.' This was a case of forced change. Alabamians revealed, however, a greater facil- ity for adapting the constitution to changing times in the campaign to reform the state's judicial system which lawyers organized under the - - - - University Research Professor of History and Law, The University of Alabama. For support, Professor Freyer thanks Dean Kenneth C. Randall, The Alabama Law School Founda- tion, and the Edward Brett Randolph Fund; he is also indebted to the research of former law students Thomas W. Scroggins. Byron E. House, Brad Murrary. Sean P. Costello, and Ben Wilson cited below. " Assistant Law Librarian, Bounds Law Library. Thanks for encouragement and support to Dean Kenneth C. Randall, to Professor Timothy L.
