    Perspective: Who belongs on the pedestal? | Tampa Bay Times http://www.tampabay.com/news/perspective/perspective-who-belongs-on... By Gary R. Mormino, special to the Tampa Bay Times Friday, July 3, 2015 1:16pm LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN AND OUR FATHERS THAT BEGAT US. THEIR SEED SHALL REMAIN FOREVER AND THEIR GLORY SHALL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT. Ecclesiastes 44:1, 44:13 Alas, in the 21st century, the historical reputations of heroes and villains heave to and fro like the health benefits of kale and coffee. In Florida, where roots are as shallow as an Australian pine, yesterday's heroes often wind up in the dustbins of history. The measure between marble and clay is time and timing. Enshrining heroes used to be simple. Consider Andrew Jackson. A steadfast patriot and military hero of New Orleans and Horseshoe Bend, Old Hickory's legacy was burnished by deadly duels and lively quarrels. When Jackson died, he was the most beloved American of the age. But Old Hickory's actions against American Indians and his support of slavery make him so controversial today that critics demand his rugged portrait be stricken from the $20 bill. Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, once lionized as a Cuban freedom fighter and a "Fighting Progressive," is now depicted as a gun-running sheriff and governor who drained the Everglades and proposed recolonizing African-Americans. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, author of the 1938 novel The Yearling, whose prose ennobled poor whites and the Big Scrub, has also fallen from the pedestal. A decade ago, I was asked to recommend a book for Hillsborough County residents to share.

They research different members of the Hall and conclude the lesson by participating in a Hall of Famer Hobnob. Designed for students in grade 3-5, this lesson takes approximately three to four class periods from beginning to end.

    Copyright Lore Copyright Notices | SEPTEMBER 2014 Writer’s Reputation Grows with Rediscovery of Copyright Deposits WENDI A. MALONEY Zora Neale Hurston died in obscurity in a Florida nursing home in 1960. But her standing as a distinguished writer of African American literature was already on the rise in 1997, when retired visual arts examiner John Wayne identified 10 little-known play scripts she had deposited decades earlier for copyright registration. The discovery of the scripts, added to other known Hurston plays, established her as an important 20th-century dramatist. Born in 1891, Hurston grew up in Eatonville, for copyright registration that uncovered Between 1997 and 1999, Birney Florida, and began writing and publishing the extent of her dramatic aspirations.

    47 Free Films Dealing with Racism that Are Just a Click Away (with links) Ida B. Wells : a Passion For Justice [1989] [San Francisco, California, USA] : Kanopy Streaming, 2015. Video — 1 online resource (1 video file, approximately 53 min.) : digital, .flv file, sound Sound: digital. Digital: video file; MPEG-4; Flash. Summary Documents the dramatic life and turbulent times of the pioneering African American journalist, activist, suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the post-Reconstruction period. Though virtually forgotten today, Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a household name in Black America during much of her lifetime (1863-1931) and was considered the equal of her well-known African American contemporaries such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice documents the dramatic life and turbulent times of the pioneering African American journalist, activist, suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the post-Reconstruction period. Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison reads selections from Wells' memoirs and other writings in this winner of more than 20 film festival awards. "One had better die fighting against injustice than die like a dog or a rat in a trap." - Ida B. Wells "Tells of the brave life and works of the 19th century journalist, known among Black reporters as 'the princess of the press, ' who led the nation's first anti-lynching campaign." - New York Times "A powerful account of the life of one of the earliest heroes in the Civil Rights Movement...The historical record of her achievements remains relatively modest. This documentary goes a long way towards rectifying that egregious oversight." - Chicago Sun-Times "A keenly realized profile of Ida B.
