Forbes, Esq 2 Sponsorship Packet About George L. Forbes Born April 4, 1931, George Forbes was the youngest of eight children and grew up in the segregated South. In 1949, George came to Cleveland with his brother, Zeke. After serving in the military and graduating from Baldwin Wallace College, Mr. Forbes had a prolific career in politics. His career began after he was elected to Cleveland City Council representing Ward 27 in the Glenville area in 1963. He served on City Council during the terms of five mayors – Ralph Locher, Carl B. Stokes, Ralph Perk, Dennis Kucinich and George Voinovich. As such, his knowledge of city politics is unparalleled. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in a 2007 article, named him among the most influential people in Cleveland. After semi-retiring from his law practice, Mr. Forbes served as president of the NAACP Cleveland Branch, receiving the NAACP’s highest award for meritorious service in 2009. Recently, Mr. Forbes entrusted WRHS with his records. The addition of these papers to WRHS’s expansive archive of local and regional history creates a rare research opportunity for those interested in the role of African Americans in Cleveland politics, and shines a light on Mr. Forbes’s relationship with the city and region. About Western Reserve Historical Society African American Archives The African American Archives program was established in 1970 to collect, preserve and make accessible the documents, photographs, memorabilia, art, and artifacts that pertain to African American life, history and culture in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. This extraordinary collection is vital to understanding the history and contributions of African Americans, and is used to develop school and youth programming and exhibi- tions. This is exemplified through WRHS’s Youth Entrepreneurship Education continuum offered in collabora- tion with Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) and the Burton D. Morgan Foundation and two new permanent exhibits, Carl and Louis Stokes Making History and Cleveland Starts Here® sponsored by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation. The African American Archives highlight exemplary Clevelanders, and preserve vital pieces of history about entrepreneurs like Alonzo Wright and Garrett Morgan, musician/activist Zelma Watson George, PhD, and ac- tivist/social worker Jane Edna Hunter, Esq. The archives tell the stories of personal experiences that embody the challenges, trials, victories, and impact of African Americans in Cleveland. It is because of these stories WRHS has seen a need for, and interest in, maintaining the ethnic history of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. 3 Sponsorship Packet Sponsorship Levels Honorable John Patterson Green Sponsor - $50,000 (Naming Sponsor) • Naming Rights of the Celebration Weekend • Naming Rights of the Stage during the “Salute to George L.

  • Celebrates 25 Years. 25Th Anniversary Collector’S Edition Dear Students, Educators,And Friends
    South Carolina African American History Calendar Celebrates 25 Years. 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Dear Students, Educators,and Friends, One of the highlights of my year is the unveiling of the new African American History Calendar, for it is always a wonderful time of renewing friendships, connecting with new acquaintances, and honoring a remarkable group of South Carolinians. This year is even more exciting, for the 2014 calendar is our 25th Anniversary Edition! For a quarter of a century, the Calendar project has celebrated the lives, leadership, and experiences of gifted people who have shaped who we are as a State and as South Carolinians. Initially developed as a resource for teachers as they include African American history in their classroom curriculum, the Calendar has become a virtual Hall of Fame, combining recognition with education and drawing online visitors from around the globe. Thus far, 297 African Americans with South Carolina roots have been featured on the Calendar’s pages. They represent a wide array of endeavors, including government and military service, education, performing and fine arts, business, community activism, and athletics. They hail from every corner of the state, from rural communities to our largest cities. And each has made a difference for people and for their communities. The Calendar, with its supporting educational materials, has always been designed to help students understand that history is about people and their actions, not simply dates or places. While previous editions have focused on individuals, the 25th Anniversary Edition spotlights 12 milestone events in South Carolina’s African American History. Driven by men and women of courage and conviction, these events helped lay the foundation for who we are today as a State and who we can become.

Middleton Dean, College of Education 4 ABSTRACT HANCOCK, CAROLE WYLIE, Ph.D., March 2008, Curriculum and Instruction Honorable Soldiers, Too: An Historical Case Study of Post-Reconstruction African American Female Teachers of the Upper Ohio River Valley (455 pp.) Director of Dissertation: David F. Bower This exploratory and descriptive study illuminates the lives of African American female teachers who lived in the upper Ohio River Valley between 1875 and 1915. Existing current research depicts teachers in the South and urban North during this period. This study highlights teachers from northern, small to midsized cities in order to bring them into the historical record and direct attention to their contributions to education. The focus of this historical, intrinsic, embedded, single-case case study was on the social profile, educational opportunities, teaching experiences, and support networks of Pocahontas Simmons Peyton, Susie Simmons (Jones?), Bernadine Peyton Sherman, Mary Peyton Dyson, Anna Stevens Posey, and Elizabeth Jennie Adams Carter.

DESCRIPTORS *Diplomatic History: *Employment Practices; *Federal Government; *Females: Foreign Countries; Foreign Diplomats; *United States History; Nomens Studies; World Affairs ABSTRACT A history of the employment of womenin the Department of State and the Foreign Serviceis presented. Thirteen chapters consider the status cf American womenfrom 1776 to the present: women in the Departmentand at international conferences, 1800-1940; applicants and employees for overseaseuplcyment, 1851-1943: the Foreign Service examinations; theimpact of war on employing women; the postwar,pericd,1949-1970: and the present and future role of women in the Department of State. In summary,it was not until the Civi) War that the governmentbegan to hire women in full-time positions. Although men and women inthe Department of State received equal pay for equal work, men werepromoted more quickly than women. For the first 35 yearsall women in the Department filled clerical jots: in 1 909the first uoman Was appointed to a semiprofessional position. Today,the Department has a higher percentage of women at the senior, middle,junior, and support levels than the government as a whole. It hasbeen more difficult, however, fcr women in the ForeignService. The Department reluctantly allowed women to take Foreign Serviceexaminations in the 1920s.
