With courage because peace requires bravery. With persistence because justice is a constant struggle. With faith because we shall overcome (Inscription from the National Memorial for Peace and Justice)”. Cover Photograph is from the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. “At a time when our country needs to have an honest and truthful conversation about race, the new National Memorial for Peace and Justice, the first comprehensive memorial dedicated to over 4,000 African American victims of racial terror lynchings in America and Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, challenges visitors to investigate the roots of racial hierarchy within our society, and explore ways that narratives used to sustain that hierarchy continued to evolve from one era to the next.”— Miriam Ashley-Smoke (Equal Justice Initiative).

Welcome not only to the convention, but also to our first conference in Montgomery, Alabama. Our conference this year takes full advantage of Montgomery’s history within the context of the Civil Rights, perhaps captured best in the title of one of our panels (2404) “How Long? Not Long”? Montgomery as a Site for Battling in the Present, Predicting the Future, and Reconciling the Past. That history is expanded with presidential and vice presidential panels reflecting on Selma (4601) and Tuskegee (2701), to name a few. With so many sites to visit within walking distance of the hotel, I hope you’ll come in early to check them out, but if you’re limited on time, you’ll find a couple of groups weaving local sites into their programs (2201, 4212 and 4213). Many groups also identified opportunities to look at crossroads or conflict within theory development, while others took the opportunity for Scholar Spotlights (Timothy Levine, 2501; Ersula Ore, 4214; and Michael Osborn, 4502). And picking up from the Nashville Convention, we’ll have reflections on music including Hank Williams, 3206; Protest Music of the Viet Nam era, 3501; and NCA’s president, Star Muir, leading a song circle for those who might like to kick back a bit, 3806. Suffice it to say, you should find plenty of sessions to attend and maybe too many (sorry, not sorry), topics to contemplate, and hopefully you’ll leave with some ideas for future research. The panels are strong from Thursday to Sunday. Add to your must-attend list our Friday business breakfast, receptions, and the Saturday luncheon featuring Hank Klibanoff. These panels and all of the others are the result, of course, of work by many individuals and groups, and all of the proposals and papers were first corralled by our program planners and reviewers. The division and interest group planners balanced responding to individuals and to my multiple requests to check, and re-check the program copy, names, etc. Thanks especially to these folks who will serve on the Executive Council this next year: Darren Linvill Matt Stillwell Andrew Tinker Aaron Dechant Ariel Gratch S. Brad Bailey Michael Kotowski Ryan Shepard-Neville Nicolas Rangel Ann Burnette Dave Nelson Pamela Dykes Beth Bradford Brigitta Brunner Ryan McGeough Jill Bergeron Stephen Heidt Colleen Mestayer Joshua Pederson April Chatham-Carpenter Sean Kingsbury Wanda Fenimore In addition to the program planners, don’t forget to check out the Theodore Clevenger Undergraduate Honors Conference, superbly managed by Shawn Long. I so appreciate his work, and his willingness to try a few new things based on our survey of participants last year; for example, we added a Thursday afternoon opening informational meeting which will include two UHC alumni and a separate time for UHC sponsors to meet with the students. I hope you will also note the great accommodations provided by the Renaissance, and negotiated and managed by the inimitable Jerry Hale and Janet Fisher of ConferenceDirect. Their work and the support from President Jason Munsell, Marketing Director Ashli Quesinberry Stokes, Past President Victoria Gallagher are all part of this program. And I would be remiss not to recognize my home Communication Arts department, in the College of Arts and Humanities; the faculty and staff at our two campuses have been so patient as I buried my head in program minutiae, supported by Kat Ours who patiently worked her way through a seemingly ever-changing index. Enjoy the conference! Pamela G.

  • Memphis Architectural Collection
    MEMPHIS ARCHITECTURAL COLLECTION Processed By: Regan Adolph & Lanier Flanders 2013 Memphis and Shelby County Room Memphis Public Library and Information Center 3030 Poplar Avenue Memphis, TN 38111 Memphis Architectural Collection Historical Sketch The Memphis Architectural Collection is a diverse compilation of architectural designs that were constructed in Memphis and Shelby County throughout the 20th century. Various classifications of buildings including businesses, residences, hospitals, hotels, theaters, social clubs, and buildings that provide public services are featured. This collection represents the rich heritage of Memphis as it evolves from a trading port on a bluff of the Mississippi into a vibrant metropolitan city of the 21st century. Starting in 1900, Memphis began to flourish as a city. Attractions such as Overton Park and the Memphis Zoo emerged. In 1904, the Parkways were constructed in a quad-like pattern to surround Overton Park. Talented designers and architects found themselves working in Memphis; some of the earliest firms featured in this collection include Hanker & Cairns, Walter W. Ahlscharlger, Jones & Furbringer, and James B. Cook. Ornate, luxurious hotels such as the Peabody Hotel, the Gayoso Hotel, the Chisca Hotel, and the Chickasaw Hotel are all results of this grandiose era. Various businesses, such as Memphis Steam Laundry, Lowenstein’s Department Store, the E.H. Crump building, the Memphis Royal Crown Bottling Co., and the Pantaze Drugstore all reflect the industry, investment, and enterprise of downtown Memphis. This collection contains nearly 60 designs from the Hanker & Cairns architectural firm. After studying in Paris, Bayard Snowden Cairns arrived in Memphis in 1904 at the request of his cousin R.
