Ninth Street Cleveland, OH 44114 Dear Fellow Alumni: Now that the millennium furor has subsided and everyday life is pretty much back to normal, it is reassuring to realize that some things never change. Two such Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association traditions that will always be unchanged are the Annual Recognition Luncheon and Student Scholarship Program. Each year at the Annual Recognition Luncheon, we recognize two alumni whose legal contri­ butions warrant special acknowledgement. This year, the Association will honor the Honorable Francis E. Sweeney and the Honorable Ralph J. Perk. I have appeared before Justice Sweeney, and as Magistrate worked closely with Judge Perk. They are both excellent Judges and most worthy of this prestigious honor. I Ii.ope that you plan to support this event to be held on May 25th at the Renaissance Hotel. The Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Student Scholarship Program was established in 1990 to assist outstanding Cleveland-Marshall College of Law students who have completed their first year. Funded by the Life Members of the Association, the Program awards a maximum of ten scholarships of up to $500 annually. The following are some of the criteria the Committee con­ siders in the selection process: scholastic achievement in law school; participation in law school' organizations/activities; participation in community activities/organizations; unique life experiences; financial need and employment. Recently, the scholarship Committee con- , vened and selected ten exceptional recipients. The above are two examples of the rewarding activities of the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association. My term is drawing to an end. It has been a privilege to serve the Association. I would like to thank all of you who gave your time and effort in support of our mission. Remember,. those of you not yet involved, it is never too late to join, participate and enjoy.· ~~lm~OMV'Laura Ann Williams Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association News-Spring 2000 On the cover: Cleveland-Marshall College of Law celebrates the law school's first women graduates.

  • Celebrates 25 Years. 25Th Anniversary Collector’S Edition Dear Students, Educators,And Friends
    South Carolina African American History Calendar Celebrates 25 Years. 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Dear Students, Educators,and Friends, One of the highlights of my year is the unveiling of the new African American History Calendar, for it is always a wonderful time of renewing friendships, connecting with new acquaintances, and honoring a remarkable group of South Carolinians. This year is even more exciting, for the 2014 calendar is our 25th Anniversary Edition! For a quarter of a century, the Calendar project has celebrated the lives, leadership, and experiences of gifted people who have shaped who we are as a State and as South Carolinians. Initially developed as a resource for teachers as they include African American history in their classroom curriculum, the Calendar has become a virtual Hall of Fame, combining recognition with education and drawing online visitors from around the globe. Thus far, 297 African Americans with South Carolina roots have been featured on the Calendar’s pages. They represent a wide array of endeavors, including government and military service, education, performing and fine arts, business, community activism, and athletics. They hail from every corner of the state, from rural communities to our largest cities. And each has made a difference for people and for their communities. The Calendar, with its supporting educational materials, has always been designed to help students understand that history is about people and their actions, not simply dates or places. While previous editions have focused on individuals, the 25th Anniversary Edition spotlights 12 milestone events in South Carolina’s African American History. Driven by men and women of courage and conviction, these events helped lay the foundation for who we are today as a State and who we can become.

Middleton Dean, College of Education 4 ABSTRACT HANCOCK, CAROLE WYLIE, Ph.D., March 2008, Curriculum and Instruction Honorable Soldiers, Too: An Historical Case Study of Post-Reconstruction African American Female Teachers of the Upper Ohio River Valley (455 pp.) Director of Dissertation: David F. Bower This exploratory and descriptive study illuminates the lives of African American female teachers who lived in the upper Ohio River Valley between 1875 and 1915. Existing current research depicts teachers in the South and urban North during this period. This study highlights teachers from northern, small to midsized cities in order to bring them into the historical record and direct attention to their contributions to education. The focus of this historical, intrinsic, embedded, single-case case study was on the social profile, educational opportunities, teaching experiences, and support networks of Pocahontas Simmons Peyton, Susie Simmons (Jones?), Bernadine Peyton Sherman, Mary Peyton Dyson, Anna Stevens Posey, and Elizabeth Jennie Adams Carter.

  • The Fictive Flapper: a Way of Reading Race and Female Desire in the Novels of Larsen, Hurst, Hurston, and Cather
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation / Thesis: THE FICTIVE FLAPPER: A WAY OF READING RACE AND FEMALE DESIRE IN THE NOVELS OF LARSEN, HURST, HURSTON, AND CATHER Traci B. Abbott, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation / Thesis Directed By: Profess or Marilee Lindemann, Department of English This study seeks to reevaluate the 1920s icon of assertive female sexuality, the flapper, as represented in the novels of four women writers. Although cultural images often designate, by their very construct ion, normal and alter it ous social categories, I argue that the flapper’s presence and popularity encourage rather than restrict this autonomy for even those female populations she appears to reject, notably lower -class women, non- white women, and homosexuals. Specifically, the flapper was predicated upon the cultural practices and beliefs of many of the very groups she was designed to exclude, and therefore her presence attests to the reality of these women’s experiences. Moreover, her emphasis on the lib erating potential of sexual autonomy could not be contained within her strictly defined parameters in part because of her success in outlining this potential. Each chapter then focuses upon images of black and white female sexuality in the novels, chosen for their attention to female sexual autonomy within and beyond the flapper’s boundaries as well as the author’s exclusion from the flapper’s parameters . Nella Larsen’s Passing suggests that the fluidity of female sexual desire cannot be contained within strict dichotomies of race, class, or sexual
