  • Black Lives Matter and the Removal of Racist Statues
    BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THE REMOVAL OF RACIST STATUES PERSPECTIVES OF AN AFRICAN Caesar Alimsinya Atuire 21: INQUIRIES INTO ART, HISTORY, AND THE VISUAL #2-2020, pp. 449–467 https://doi.org/10.11588/xxi.2020.2.76234 449 Caesar Alimsinya Atuire ABSTRACT The killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests have been accompanied by calls for the removal of statues of racists from public space. This has generated debate about the role of statues in the public sphere. I argue that statues are erected to represent a chosen narrative about history. The debate about the removal of statues is a controversy about history and how we relate to it. From this perspective, the Black Lives Matter movement is not a drive to remove or topple statues, but a call for an honest examination of systemic racism and the residual effects of slavery. This call can be a kairos to engage in a constructive dialogue about the societies we aspire to live in. The result of this dialogue, which includes a re-examination of dominant narratives, will decide which statues and monuments can occupy public space and represent our societies. KEYWORDS Black Lives Matter; Statues; Racism; Slavery; Dialogue. 450 Black Lives Matter and the Removal of Racist Statues Premise I begin this paper with a confession. I cannot be neutral in the Black Lives Matter conversation because mine is a black life and I would like it to matter. Nevertheless, as an academic philosopher, I can only try to be rational and possibly dispassionate.

A Comanche man on a white horse was barreling down the bluff toward Dodge and the remnants of the dragoon company that stood waiting with him. For weeks the dragoons had been wandering around the southern plains, hoping to meet the Comanches and impress them with the United States’ military might. However, almost immediately after the dragoon company of 500 men had departed from Fort Gibson in June 1834, they were plagued by a feverish illness and suffered from the lack of adequate provisions and potable water. When General Henry Leavenworth, the group’s leader, was taken ill near the Washita River, Dodge took command, pressing forward in the July heat with about one-fifth of the original force. The Comanche man riding swiftly toward Dodge was part of a larger group that the dragoons had spotted earlier on the hot July day.

  • Mcnair, Mcnear, and Mcneir GENEALOGIES
    McNAIR, McNEAR, AND McNEIR GENEALOGIES Compiled oy JAMES BIRTLEY McNAIR CHICAGO PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR i9z3 COPYRIGHT 1923 BY ]ADS BIR.TLE1!' MCNAIR All Rights Reserved Published April 1923 Composed and Printed By The University of Chicago Press Chica~o. Illinois, U.S.A. PREFACE In this book is given the legends which show that the McNairs are a division of the MacFarlane clan and that their home was on the borders of Loch Lomond, Scotland. It is also shown that the name Macnayr has been found on documents as early as 1390 and that a coat-of-arms was given by King Robert Bruce to a chieftain of the McNairs at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. All the McNair, McNear, and McNeir genealogies obtainable have been collected in their more or less complete forms. Those in the United States have been arranged as far as possible under the states in which the head of the family resided at the time of the the first census in 1790. In order to show the distribution of McNairs in the United States at that time, that part of the census of 1790 which deals with McNairs is included. It is hoped that a later edition can be published which will con­ tain more information about the McNairs and McNair genealogies. I wish to express my grateful appreciation to those many members of the clan whose assistance has made this work possible, as well as to Mr. Albert C. McFarland and Miss Mary D. Alexander, of the University of Chicago Press, for careful editing of the manu­ script.

    RESEARCHED BY JUSTIN WATKINS 206-214 South Main Street COPYRIGHT © 2008 JUSTIN WATKINS 206-214 The First State Capitol of Missouri Edna McElhiney Olson, Historical Saint Charles, Missouri (St. Charles, MO: Olson, 1967), 33-34 One of the most outstanding historic buildings in Saint Charles is the First State Capitol of Missouri. These structures were erected by two brothers, Ruluff and Charles Peck. They were early prominent and influential merchants and the building was used as their residence and store building. It was known as “Peck’s Row.” It was actually three buildings under one saddleback roof. To the south was an arched driveway which led to the ferry and the river. The second floor housed the first Masonic Lodge organized in 1818. The third building was built Chancey Shepard and rooms on the second floor were used as the governor’s office and committee rooms. The bitterly fought slavery question was settled in the “Missouri Compromise” of 1820. The combined efforts of Col. Benjamin Emmons, Hiram Baber [not “Babler” as Olson spells it], and Daniel Morgan Boone at the 1820 Constitutional Convention at St. Louis led to the convention’s approval to house the First State Capitol in Saint Charles. The city fathers established a “Town Board of Trustees” and guaranteed that the State would be furnished a seat of government “free of expenses to the State.” The guarantors were to pay to Ruluff Peck the sum of $100/yr for the use of the second floor. The arches in the walls of the second floor were opened to form the “Great Assembly Hall.” The Legislators attended the sessions coming on horseback, and wearing fur coats, coonskin caps and leather moccasins.

  • The Santissima Annunziata of Florence, Medici Portraits, and the Counter Reformation in Italy
    THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY by Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Bernice Iarocci 2015 THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2015 A defining feature of the Counter-Reformation period is the new impetus given to the material expression of devotion to sacred images and relics. There are nonetheless few scholarly studies that look deeply into the shrines of venerated images, as they were renovated or decorated anew during this period. This dissertation investigates an image cult that experienced a particularly rich elaboration during the Counter-Reformation – that of the miracle-working fresco called the Nunziata, located in the Servite church of the Santissima Annunziata in Florence. By the end of the fifteenth century, the Nunziata had become the primary sacred image in the city of Florence and one of the most venerated Marian cults in Italy. My investigation spans around 1580 to 1650, and includes texts related to the sacred fresco, copies made after it, votives, and other additions made within and around its shrine. I address various components of the cult that carry meanings of civic importance; nonetheless, one of its crucial characteristics is that it partook of general agendas belonging to the Counter- Reformation movement. That is, it would be myopic to remain within a strictly local scope when considering this period.
