This acknowledgement is my way of saying "Thank you" to them, and affirming that I only reached this day because of their love and support. First, I would like to thank my husband of thirty two years, Steven, for sharing my life vision and understanding why I felt the need to reach this degree. I appreciate his daily encouragement of my efforts and his endless patience of the time I had to devote to this work. His love and companionship gave me strength and motivation to accomplish this goal. My children, Melanie and Brian, and grandchildren, Amelia, Steven II, Christina, and Dawson, all had to sacrifice my more constant presence in their lives as I have had to labor long and hard when I could have been sharing laughter and precious life with them. They mean everything to me and I plan on seeing them all much more frequently now that grandma can focus on them and not a computer screen. My daughter-in-law, Dorothy, and mother-in-law, Rosemary, also understood the importance of this project to me and offered their support. There is also my friend, Isabelle, who read and reread my paper. She was my biggest fan and I thank her for always being there for me. She was my listener and my confidant- "queen's wave Izzy." lV I must also thank the participants in this study for sharing their life histories with me and for their willingness to be studied. They trusted me and took me into their confidences, and I hope this paper does them and their families justice. Lastly, I wish to thank Dr. Kathe Kasten and Dr. Charles Galloway, who stepped in and steered me to the final defense and closure after my doctoral chairperson moved away. Dr. Charles Galloway also willingly chaired my committee and gave me professional guidance. Dr. David Fenner and Dr. Pritchy Smith, too, gave me valuable advice and direction, and to them and the rest of my committee I owe a debt of gratitude for their investment of time and professional expertise on my behalf. All of these wonderful individuals made this endeavor possible. This is an exciting achievement for me, but only as far as I can share it with others. Thank you Lord for closing this special, yet labor­ intense chapter in my life. v TABLE OF CONTENTS TITLE PAGE ....................................................................

It was an investigation of five African American male leaders from Jacksonville, Florida, and their individual and collective perceptions on what enabled them to educationally succeed despite their humble beginnings. The study explored the similarities, differences, and historical experiences of all five of the African American male leaders purposefully chosen for this research. Two categories or types of themes were identified in this study, common background themes and common outcome themes. Six themes were common background themes and functioned as major influencers and motivators which are discussed at length in the findings. They included: family, neighborhoods, public school, spirituality, racial experiences, and heroes and mentors. The two common outcome themes, career and leadership, X resulted from the influences of the other six common background themes. Three patterns emerged:

  • Career and Professional Academy Enrollment and Performance Report, 2011-12
    Career and Professional Academy Enrollment and Performance Report, 2011-12 Florida Department of Education Division of Career and Adult Education Rod Duckworth, Chancellor February 2013 At a Glance In 2011-12, the fifth year of implementation of the Florida Career and Professional Education Act, school districts registered 1,511 high school and 56 middle school career and professional academies, representing all 67 of Florida’s school districts. This study found the following regarding enrollment patterns and student performance: The most frequent career cluster represented by academies was Information Technology with 284 registered academies followed by Health Sciences with 224 academies. High school academy students were most likely to be tenth-graders compared to the non- academy population, which is over-represented by ninth-graders. The distribution of students by race and gender among academy students was similar to that of non-academy students. Among the 185,414 high school students enrolled in career and professional academies, 38,209 or 20.6 percent, were reported as having earned one or more approved industry certifications going back to the 2008-09 school year. In the 2011-12 school year, 28,533 high school academy students earned 32,004 certifications with a pass rate of 84.3 percent. Middle school academy students had lower average GPAs while high school academy students had higher average GPAs than their non-academy counterparts. Middle school academy students were more likely to have been chronically absent than non-academy students while high school academy students were less likely than their peers to have exhibited absenteeism. There was no clear pattern indicating that academy students were more or less likely to have been subjected to disciplinary action than non-academy students.

This dissertation offers a research model for feminism that addresses girls as positive categories of possibility, that revalues the status of girls as to- be subjects, and that develops a synthesis between Visual Culture, Women’s Studies, and the emerging field of Girl Studies. The analyses produced by this model are deliberately unhinged from the kind of psychological moorings that predetermine girl as a marker for woman-in-training.
