Throughout that period, those deeply-rooted black cultural traditions, carried through centuries of bondage and further developed after 1865, remained important weapons in African Americans’ fight to control their own lives and labor. Drawing on narratives of former slaves, sportsmen’s recollections, records of fish and game clubs and resorts and sporting periodicals, I show that former slaves used hunting and fishing to reduce their dependence on agricultural labor in the service of whites and maximize their freedom. Because they reflected both symbolic and real African-American independence, hunting and fishing became central targets of white efforts to more firmly draw the racial line and protect their own economic and sporting interests.

    2016 U.S. Women’s Football Leagues Addendum New Mexico Adult Football League – Women’s Division (NMAFL-W) – 2015 Season The NMAFL-W launched in 2015 with five teams in New Mexico. The Alamogordo Aztecs failed to complete the season, while the Amarillo Lady Punishers joined the league late and absorbed four forfeit losses before even getting out of the gate. But the Lady Punishers were formidable once they got started, upsetting the previously undefeated Roswell Destroyers in the playoffs to make it to the first NMAFL-W title game. That opened the door for the Santa Fe Dukes to swoop in and capture the NMAFL-W championship at the conclusion of the league’s first season.

Green Edward W. Phifer Ralph P. Hanes Daniel J. Whitener Christopher Crittenden, Director Preface This brief study of higher education in North Carolina makes no claim to being the result of original research. In most cases the historical sketches of the colleges and universities published in their own catalogs have been accepted at face value. In a few cases special studies have been published, and these are cited under "More Information" at the end of the sketch. No attempt has been made to bring uniformity into the ways in which these institutions have determined the dates of their establishment, although it is apparent that adequate research into contemporary sources and a uniform system of standards would considerably alter the usual chronological listing of North Carolina institu­ tions of higher education. In the case of institutions no longer in existence, I have examined their catalogs when available and used other contem­ porary reports concerning them. I have been somewhat arbitrary in my choice of institutions discussed in this category. In some cases I was limited by the availability of material.

  • A History of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County
    A History Of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Dr. Dan L. Morrill University of North Carolina at Charlotte E-mail comments to [email protected] Preface This is not an encyclopedic history of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. The story is too complex and too big for the scope of a project such as this. There are important parts of the history of this community that are left out or barely mentioned. What this writer attempts to do is highlight the major themes and pivotal periods of our past and tell dramatic tales that document the nature and significance of each. The story ends in the early 1980s, because everything thereafter is current affairs. This writer asserts that two major themes have been present in the history of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County from the earliest days of Scots-Irish and German settlement in the 1740's until today. One is an intense desire for economic development and expansion. The other is the on-going saga of race. Whenever the pressures of the two have come into direct conflict, especially in the 1890s and in the 1960s and 1970s, economic considerations have won out. This writer has depended heavily upon the research and scholarship of others. Especially helpful were several M.A. Theses written by graduate students at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Sadly, these manuscripts lie mostly unused and ignored. One must also make special mention of the superb scholarship produced by Paul Escott, Thomas W. Hanchett, Janette Greenwood, Jack Claiborne, Mary Norton Kratt, Mary Boyer, Frye Gaillard, Ken Sanford, and Alex Coffin.
