This Room Also Contains Photographs of the Trumpet Awards Which Were Sponsored by Life University from 1996 to 2003, Saluting African/American Achievement Life Foundation, Inc AV ROOM TOUR 1 AV ROOM INTRODUCTION Welcome to the A. V. Room... a veritable plethora of accomplishments spanning over fifty years. These displays show photographs of Drs. Sid and Nell Williams with their friends, political leaders, graduation speakers and family members. Dr. Sid lead a multi-faceted life that brought him face to face with presidents of industries and universities, as well as countries--our own and others! He entertained Chiropractors from all over the world, celebrities from the entertainment industry, and students, whom he dearly loved. This room also contains photographs of the Trumpet Awards which were sponsored by Life University from 1996 to 2003, saluting African/American Achievement. Here you will find notebooks, news articles and documents published during the years after Drs. Sid and Nell graduated from Palmer in 1956. They opened their first clinic in Austell, Georgia in May of the same year and eventually, had seventeen clinics throughout the Southeast. At this time advertising was considered taboo and chiropractors were commonly known as cultists. Insurance equality for chiropractors was non-existent and Medicare did not accept chiropractic care. There was no unified front in chiropractic to seek insurance equality, insure the public had freedom of choice with regard to health care, provide educational literature, and render care to people of all races regardless of their financial ability to pay. As a means to fulfill the need for chiropractic literature, Drs. Sid and Nell opened Si- Nel Publishing in 1957. Si-Nel was the first of its kind in supplying chiropractors with much needed health tracts and equipment. At the Williams Clinic, weekly advertisements were published in the newspapers and weekly lay lectures were given for current and new patients. In the Deep South segregation and racial discrimination was a standard. Dr. Sid did not see racial color but he did see subluxations and the need for quality chiropractic care for the black community. As a result, the Triple H clinics were established throughout the 2 Southeast--HHH stood for Harmony, Health, and Happiness. As the clinics became more successful, people would travel for up to 100 miles to attend a lecture. In many circles Dr. Sid became known as a healer. On more than one occasion a person attending the lay lecture would shake his hand and be healed of their ailment. At the clinic there was a collection of discarded crutches, kidney stones, and gallstones. Soon fellow practitioners became interested in their success and started attending lay lectures, along with the patients, at the clinic in Austell. Meetings for local D.C.’s were called Life Society meetings, which eventually grew into what is now known as Life Dynamic Essentials (DE) Meetings. In 1964 the first official Dynamic Essentials meeting was held in Atlanta with an attendance of eight local chiropractors. These were educational, motivational seminars for chiropractors, chiropractic assistants and families of chiropractors. The Lasting Purpose application was the basis for the seminars. The meetings grew rapidly under Dr. Sid’s leadership and began to attract large numbers of chiropractors from around the US, Canada and many other countries thus the unfolding of Life Foundation. The following year Life Foundation was founded as a 501(C)3 IRS-approved non-profit organization dedicated to the purpose of service, education and research. One of the first projects begun by the Foundation was the publication of Health for Life, a tabloid newspaper containing articles and photographs of chiropractic patients that had experienced outstanding results under chiropractic care. These were ultimately distributed by chiropractors and read by millions of their patients. Fund raising efforts began for the purpose of building a chiropractic clinic on wheels; consequently, Life Foundation established the Health Mobile, which was a modern, completely equipped, chiropractic clinic on wheels. This free service program introduced thousands of people in the USA to the benefits of chiropractic as it traveled from state to state. The Health Mobile traveled across the nation offering free Chiropractic services to all and this was instrumental in creating awareness of the benefits of chiropractic. Eventually the Health Mobile was utilized as a health clinic in 3 an underprivileged part of downtown Atlanta where chiropractic services were provided free of cost to the underprivileged and needy. In 1965, Dr. Sid established Life Foundation, Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to service, research and education. Life Foundation was the founding organization of Life University. Contributions multiplied by thirty years of meetings resulted in donations of $2 Million to Life University. Dr. Sid became a legislative advocate for the Chiropractic profession not only in the State of Georgia but nationwide, challenging states that did not have chiropractic laws separate from medical laws. He also offered positive solutions to the attacks on chiropractic by the medical profession. The second edition of Today's Chiropractic confirms the continued efforts for chiropractic advancement including the requests for Medicare petitions to ensure chiropractic equality in the United States. A milestone event occurred in 1973 when Chiropractic services were approved under Medicare which led to other insurance coverage. This was the result of Dr. Sid's legislative efforts to have more than two million letters written by chiropractic patients sent to U. S. Congressmen. This was a tremendous victory for the chiropractic profession nation-wide and one that required years of effort! For many years, Dr. Sid had spoken of the need for a chiropractic college to be established in metropolitan Atlanta, the hub of the Southeast. Such an institution would be the logical extension of the education, research and service efforts promoted by Life Foundation. Dr. Sid envisioned a college founded on the principles of chiropractic as established by the Palmers and other dedicated chiropractic pioneers. In 1974, Dr. Sid filed the necessary papers with the State of Georgia to operate Life Chiropractic College. The first class of 22 students was welcomed on January 20, 1975. The college was located at 1269 Barclay Circle in Marietta, Georgia, in one 4 building rented from Lockheed. It contained a few offices, classrooms, library and a small bookstore. The library consisted of wooden planks set on bricks holding donated books. Dr. Sid immediately applied for accreditation with the Council on Chiropractic Education and worked diligently toward that goal from the beginning. In December 4, 1977, Life Chiropractic College graduated its first 35 Doctors of Chiropractic. In October 1979, Life enrolled its largest class yet with 200 students entering fall quarter. Life Chiropractic College was on its way to becoming the world's largest chiropractic educational institution. Throughout the years until 2002 when Dr. Sid retired, many milestones were accomplished. To name a few: Founded Si-Nel Publishing Company Founded Life Chiropractic College Founded Dynamic Essentials Seminars Medicare and insurance approval for chiropractic care Accreditation for Life Chiropractic College Life Chiropractic College achieved University status Dr. Sid organized a Team of Chiropractors to adjust the athletes at the Goodwill Game in Moscow. The athletic teams at Life, under Dr. Sid's direction, won 21 National championships from 1997 -2000 5 DELPP Seminars, a training program for elite coaches, were held at Life University Jet Lag Study was conducted in anticipation of the 1996 Olympics Life International was founded to provide chiropractic care to all countries of the world Research Clinics were established by Life University and Life International in Egypt, China, Costa Rica and South Korea. Ground breaking work was done in Ukraine that focused on the effects of chiropractic care on Chernobyl radiation victims. Low Back Pain Initiative was conducted in partnership with the World Health Organization Anti-smoking study was completed in conjunction with the World Health Organization. A running track with a Mondo surface was installed at Life for the purpose of training Olympic participants; this is the same surface used in the official tracks Official Olympic statue "Tolerance" was erected on Life's campus 6 Photograph Joan Crawford (TV Actress & Movie Star) 7 Mutual Broadcasting Association and the International Chiropractors Association 1st Row Dr. Sid Williams interviewed by Larry King (TV Broadcaster & Commentator) 2nd Row I.C.A.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE READER USE 2-PAGE VIEW (BOOK FORMAT WITH SCROLLING ENABLED) IN ACROBAT READER OR BROWSER. “EVEN’ING IT OUT – A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE LAST TWO YEARS OF “THE TWILIGHT ZONE” Television Series (minus ‘THE’)” A Study in Three Parts by Andrew Ramage © 2019, The Twilight Zone Museum. All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

    THR 327 | African American Theater Performance Department of Theatre, The University of Kansas Professor: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley | Spring 2010 Office Hours: Tuesday & Thursday: 3:30 – 4:30 PM or by appointment GTA: Jeff List [email protected] Office: Murphy Hall, Room 229 Contact Phone (785) 864-2820 Email: [email protected] Class Blog: www.kuafamtheater2010.blogspot.com Course Description This course will introduce students to key plays and performances that have produced the African American Theatre repertoire from 1958 to the present. From A Raisin in the Sun to the Urban Theater Circuit, students will engage in a wide range of theater and performance texts that reflect expressions of African American life in performance. Broad themes of the course include but are not limited to the performance of black subjectivity; double consciousness; performing race; racial essentialism; color politics; cultural nationalism; racial stereotypes; civil rights; and social protest. Students are encouraged to attend performances of African American plays, spoken word events and performance art in Lawrence (or the surrounding area) for class participation credit. This course employs an inter-textual perspective that privileges texts for the stage as it engages African American Theatre as a site of performance that continues to strongly influence other theatrical genres of performance such as television, film, fine art and performance art. Goals: The goals of the course are to help students: 1) understand the key playwrights, actors and general history of African American Theater and performance of the time period discussed; 2) understand the specific social, cultural, political factors that produce a play; 3) critically and artistically articulate verbally and in writing, the genealogy of African American Theatre; 4) identify how African American Theatre shapes popular culture and influences and contributes to mainstream American Theatre.

NFF and Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame to Celebrate Black History Month with Special Tributes Special exhibit and interviews with leaders, champions and legends will celebrate Black History and its connections to college football. IRVING, Texas (Feb. 1, 2021) – The National Football Foundation (NFF) and the Chick-fil- A College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta will celebrate Black History Month 2021 with a series of initiatives, including a special exhibit at the Hall, a web series, a panel event and a Q&A series with members of the NFF Board of Directors. "College football has a rich history of being in the vanguard of shaering racial barriers," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. "Ever since the first Black player took the field at a predominately white college in 1889, college football has helped integrate our country and overcome prejudices. We are extremely proud of this history, and it is a powerful testament of how football has made an impact well beyond the playing field." "We're blessed to have these amazing men on the NFF Board," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. “They have distinguished themselves in all they’ve ever done. They provide a window into the richness that is Black history.” Throughout the month of February, the NFF will release a Q&A series with members of the NFF Board, sharing their insights about Black History, social injustice in our country and their experiences on the gridiron.

  • New England Patriots 1981 Schedule
    A UNIQUE FUNDING TRIANGLE CREATES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR URBAN BOYS AND GIRLS The Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (TAP) In our quest to improve the quality of life for Boston's youth the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston depends heavily on the generosity of others. The Frito-Lay Company is a prime exam­ ple of an advocate of the Clubs via an imaginative funding triangle thanks to the New England Patriots. Here's how it works. As the Patriots score points. Frito-Lay scores for the children of Boston, donating $100 to the Boys' and Girls Clubs for each point! This totaled $54.600 in 1980 alone! Throughout the country and. of course. in Boston. businessmen. parents. and the community at large hail this program as one of the most creative charitable donations in ex­ istence. The funds are designated for a very special purpose ...the Boys and Girls Clubs-Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (known as the Frito-Lay TAP). This education program directly serves over 1,000 children in each of three Clubhouses. Counsellors and tutors reinforce school work, stressing the importance of a well-rounded education. Like the athlete, the student is taught to work daily to improve his skills.Each youngster's individual needs deter­ mine the type of supplemental training he or she receives. Some require help in vocabulary and reading.Others lack suffi­ cient mathematic skills. Still others reap the benefits of science instruction through practical lessons at the Museum of Science. The TAP program provides a strong base for the educational and emotional development of our inner-city kids.
