He was referring to the fact that the initial call for such a group had come back in 1882, when Judge J. G. Knapp urged its formation. He wrote in the weekly Sunland Tribune: "Tampa should have a historical society." When it finally did happen, it was entirely appropriate that Tony Pizzo should become the first president of the long-overdue society. For Tony Pizzo provided the spark that ignited the torch of history carried on today by his successors. And all of us agree that his passing in January 1994 dealt a sharp loss to the Tampa Historical Society. For the exuberant enthusiasm of the proud Tony Pizzo at age two native of Ybor City for Tampa history was evident almost until his last breath. "There is still so much more to do," he told those who Nobody remembers the exact date, but a gathered around his bedside at Memorial small group got together in Tony Pizzo's Hospital. home one day in the spring of 1971 to talk about forming the Tampa Historical Society.

Voulgaris A Thesis in the Field of History for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 © November 2016, Panos John Voulgaris Abstract The rhetoric and life of Muhammad Ali greatly influenced the advancement of African Americans. How did the words of Ali impact the development of black America in the twentieth century? What role does Ali hold in history? Ali was a supremely talented artist in the boxing ring, but he was also acutely aware of his cultural significance. The essential question that must be answered is how Ali went from being one of the most reviled people in white America to an icon of humanitarianism for all people. He sought knowledge through personal experience and human interaction and was profoundly influenced by his own upbringing in the throes of Louisville’s Jim Crow segregation.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 4 Cultural Economies of Scale This chapter looks at how the culture of boxing and the sport’s economy at local and global levels interconnect to produce the cultural economy of boxing. It aims to provide an explanation of the relationship between boxing, its embodied practices and local routine performance and the economic culture which makes it possible and drives the sport along particular trajectories. This chapter starts with the dialogue between the economic demands of globalized sport and the links between the economic context and local practices and investments in the sport. The media are a focus in this chapter because of their powerful involvement in the making of the cultural economy of boxing. The chapter uses examples of the representation of boxing and the making of its celebrities and heroes in shaping its cultural economy as well as the particularities of boxing and its capacities for change, for example through its localized practices and the continuance of amateur boxing. The chapter offers a discussion of some of the capacities boxing has for attracting illegitimate as well as legitimate finance and the complicated intersection of personal and local commitments and the forces of global capital.

My uncle, being a father, was my intro to boxing and boxing books. I was first exposed to Muhammad Ali as a young child watching some old bands in my uncle's house. I remember thinking how he could be the greatest when he lost so many times. Of course, the undefeated champion beats several times champion every day of the week. I remember watching Ali light the Olympic flame in Atlanta as a 12-year-old and wondering why this guy was a hero, why he loved so much. Then I read The King of the World: The Rise of Muhammad Ali and the American Hero (1998) by David Remnick. Its been more than 15 years since I read this book, shortly after it was first published. As anyone who has read any Remnick will know, they are written with a style and imagination that describes all their work. It's a great book.

    Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation," 2 March Through 15 April 2005

    Introduction How was it that a nation founded on ideals of freedom and equality was also, from its birth, home to slavery? The University Libraries of the University at Buffalo were proud to host the traveling exhibition "Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation," 2 March through 15 April 2005. By tracing Lincoln 's journey from an anti-slavery moderate to the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, this exhibit explores the events and ideas which gave birth to the Proclamation, which forever transformed our nation. The Emancipation Proclamation was the death blow to the "peculiar institution." Slavery was finally "That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand abolished as an American institution with the ratification of the eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in Thirteenth Amendment in December 1865. rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, Organized by the Huntington Library, San Marino, California, and including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, New York City, repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for in cooperation with the American Library Association (ALA), this their actual freedom." traveling exhibit was made possible through a major grant from Emancipation Proclamation, 1 January 1863 the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
  • Commonlit | Bloody Kansas

    Commonlit | Bloody Kansas

    Name: Class: Bloody Kansas By USHistory.org 2016 A series of events dividing pro-slavery southern states and anti-slavery northern states led up to the start of the Civil War in 1860. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed slavery south of and prohibited slavery north of Missouri’s southern border. The Compromise of 1850 settled four years of political confrontation between slave and free states with five new laws, including a stricter Fugitive Slave Law that legally required Northerners to return escaped slaves to their southern owners. And finally, the development of a transcontinental railroad would require the unorganized territory west of Missouri to become organized territories preparing for statehood. All of this occurred a few years before the South seceded, or left the Union, starting the Civil War. As you read, note who disagrees with whom and what the effects of these disagreements are. [1] For decades throughout the early 1800s, both northern and southern states had threatened secession and dissolution1 of the Union over the question of where slavery was to be permitted. At issue was power. Both sides sought to limit the governing power of the other by maintaining a balance of membership in Congress. This meant ensuring that admission of a new state where slavery was outlawed was matched by a state permitting slavery. For example, when Missouri entered the Union as a slave state, the Missouri Compromise ensured that Maine entered the "Kansas Nebraska Act - "Forcing Slavery"" by Elycefeliz is licensed Union as a free state. under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0. New states were organized as self-governing territories before they could become states.

Thomas III Lincoln, Nebraska August, 2019 WYANDOT, SHAWNEE, AND AFRICAN AMERICAN RESISTANCE TO SLAVERY IN OHIO AND KANSAS Diane Miller, Ph.D. University of Nebraska, 2019 Advisor: William G. Thomas III From the colonial period, enslaved Africans escaped bondage. Colonial records and treaties reveal that they often sought refuge with Indian tribes. This resistance to slavery through escape and flight constituted the Underground Railroad. As European colonies developed into the United States, alliances of subaltern groups posed a threat.
