The Atlanta Preservation Center's THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2018 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies he idea that a city is a place to perfect an individual is an ancient one. In a true city, there will be the cooperative community, resources, and circumstances to aid the indi- Tvidual citizen in reaching and realizing his maximum potential. Te citizen attains virtue and this worth, in turn, becomes an asset of the community. Last year we celebrated the ladies who invented preservation in America and discussed their use of preservation as a means to hold up models of civic and national virtue to serve as guides to virtue and to elevate all Americans. In an environment where preservation is justifed almost exclusively by proft potential, the origins of our preservation movement may seem anachronistic. It is the resonance of the past and the evocation of past virtue which may be the broad-based appeal of historic material and reference—the sense of the true, the historically reliable, the secure sense of place. Tis year our Keystone Awards celebrated gentlemen who followed the classical tradition of demonstrating virtue through contribution to their community. Our heroes have made these actions through the wide scope of preservation in Atlanta. On pages 4 and 5 you will see the range of these gestures, proof of virtue in our City. We hope that you will enjoy our presentation of Phoenix Flies events this year and will express your appreciation to our many partners for their eforts. F. H.

  • Objectivity, Interdisciplinary Methodology, and Shared Authority
    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

    Atlanta History Center HOWARD POUSNER 76 • THE FEDERAL LAWYER • August 2017 t’s safe to say that in its nine-decade history, the Atlanta History Center has never borrowed a phrase from a popular rap song for a marketing slogan. But there it was this spring on a billboard towering over Atlanta’s I-75/85 Downtown Connector, in giant mint-colored letters sharing space with Iblown-up vintage buttons representing Hank Aaron, the Fox Theatre, and other Atlanta icons: “Do It for the Culture.” As part of a bold rebranding, the illuminated bill- Atlanta community of Buckhead in late 2015. Its main board lifted the line from a hit song by Atlanta rappers point of entry, the Atlanta History Museum, now features Migos. History museums aren’t usually in the habit of a large curved expanse of structural glass and limestone referencing rap songs, but the Atlanta History Center is rising from a base of Georgia granite. The façade opens going through an unprecedented period of reinvention, into an atrium with 30-foot-high ceilings that replaced a clearing cobwebs from its image and projecting the slightly dim and cramped train station-styled lobby. An daring notion that history can be, well, hip. allusion to Atlanta’s railroading-fueled past, that look When the Federal Bar Association holds a reception didn’t fully reflect the city’s more dynamic present, but on the Atlanta History Center’s leafy 33-acre campus the soaring, sunlight-filled new entrance does. And all during its Atlanta Convention on Sept. 14, there will be that curved glass facing West Paces Ferry Road—an other apparent recent changes and evidence of even important stretch that connects the Buck- more afoot.
