  • Georgia Douglas Johnson and Eulalie Spence As Figures Who Fostered Community in the Midst of Debate
    Art versus Propaganda?: Georgia Douglas Johnson and Eulalie Spence as Figures who Fostered Community in the Midst of Debate Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caroline Roberta Hill, B.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2019 Thesis Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Adviser Beth Kattelman Copyright by Caroline Roberta Hill 2019 Abstract The Harlem Renaissance and New Negro Movement is a well-documented period in which artistic output by the black community in Harlem, New York, and beyond, surged. On the heels of Reconstruction, a generation of black artists and intellectuals—often the first in their families born after the thirteenth amendment—spearheaded the movement. Using art as a means by which to comprehend and to reclaim aspects of their identity which had been stolen during the Middle Passage, these artists were also living in a time marked by the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and segregation. It stands to reason, then, that the work that has survived from this period is often rife with political and personal motivations. Male figureheads of the movement are often remembered for their divisive debate as to whether or not black art should be politically charged. The public debates between men like W. E. B. Du Bois and Alain Locke often overshadow the actual artistic outputs, many of which are relegated to relative obscurity. Black female artists in particular are overshadowed by their male peers despite their significant interventions. Two pioneers of this period, Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880-1966) and Eulalie Spence (1894-1981), will be the subject of my thesis.

  • Appendix C Evolution of Arts Uses in the Arts Overlay Zone
    Appendix C Evolution of Arts Uses in the Arts Overlay Zone A short (and incomplete) history of the arts on 14 th and U Streets While there has been a significant amount of research and writing about the “Black Broadway” of U Street during the early part of the 20 th century, less information is available about the renaissance of arts and arts institutions in the neighborhood since the riots of 1968, and why the neighborhood can claim as many arts institutions as it does. This is a first attempt to put together a history of the theatric, visual, and musical arts as these institutions appear at the end of the first decade of the 21 st century, and is not meant to serve as a comprehensive review. A more thorough study of the history of arts in the community needs to be undertaken in order to capture a complete picture. In addition, much of the history is due to the initiative and accomplishments of a few key individuals, and those people each deserve to tell their story in their own words. As the arts district continues to develop, it will be important to return to this document and expand upon it to better appreciate why arts institutions are among us, how they have been able to sustain, and what can be done to encourage their longevity and growth in the decades to come. Theatres and theatrical groups The riots that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King left 14 th and U Streets largely intact, but scarred. Merchants used metal grates and sliding garage-style barriers to close their businesses at the end of the day.

Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.

  • U.S. Bank Celebrates Reopening of Historic Howard Theatre
    U.S. Bank Celebrates Reopening of Historic Howard Theatre April 11, 2012 Bank Officials Join Developer, City Officials and Music Legends at Grand Opening Gala and Benefit for Nation’s Oldest African American Theatre WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 11, 2012-- Officials from U.S. Bank, Howard Theatre Restoration, Inc., Ellis Development Group, and City officials will gather on Thursday, April 12 to celebrate the grand reopening of the Howard Theatre with a star-studded gala and benefit concert featuring performances and appearances by some of the most legendary figures in the worlds of music, comedy and dance. U.S. Bank, through its community development subsidiary, provided more than $10 million in financing in support of the $29 million historic renovation. The financing package included New Markets and Historic Tax Credit financing structured in partnership with Hampton Roads Ventures, Mid-City Community CDE, and DC Housing Enterprises. U.S. Bank also serves as a gala event sponsor. “We’re proud to be a partner of choice in the revival of this social, cultural and architectural landmark,” said Laura Vowell, Vice President of U.S. Bank. “Howard Theatre Restoration and Ellis Development had a vision that this historically-important but badly-neglected structure could be brought back to life, and they assembled a team to do it. Financial support from U.S. Bank and our partners helped ensure that a building which played a significant role in Washington DC’s past will do so again in the future.” Located near the corner of 7th and T Streets, the Howard Theatre—"The Theatre for the People”—was originally constructed in 1910 and served as one of the oldest and most popular performing arts venues for African American singers and musicians when the nation was deeply divided by segregation.

  • In 1848 the Slave-Turned-Abolitionist Frederick Douglass Wrote In
    The Union LeagUe, BLack Leaders, and The recrUiTmenT of PhiLadeLPhia’s african american civiL War regimenTs Andrew T. Tremel n 1848 the slave-turned-abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote in Ithe National Anti-Slavery Standard newspaper that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, “more than any other [city] in our land, holds the destiny of our people.”1 Yet Douglass was also one of the biggest critics of the city’s treatment of its black citizens. He penned a censure in 1862: “There is not perhaps anywhere to be found a city in which prejudice against color is more rampant than Philadelphia.”2 There were a number of other critics. On March 4, 1863, the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, commented after race riots in Detroit, “Even here, in the city of Philadelphia, in many places it is almost impossible for a respectable colored per- son to walk the streets without being assaulted.”3 To be sure, Philadelphia’s early residents showed some mod- erate sympathy with black citizens, especially through the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, but as the nineteenth century progressed, Philadelphia witnessed increased racial tension and a number of riots. In 1848 Douglass wrote in response to these pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 80, no. 1, 2013.
