    Nat “King” Cole’s Civil War: How Pop Music’s Intimate Sounds and the U. S. Military’s Intimate Spaces Ignited Alabama’s Racial Tensions in the 1950s Joseph M. Thompson Charlottesville, Virginia BA, University of Alabama, 2002 MA, University of Mississippi, 2013 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of History University of Virginia May 2015 2 On April 21, 1956, Alabama newspaper The Anniston Star published a letter to the editor, criticizing what the writer perceived as the press’s unfair characterization of five local white men as “hoodlums” for their recent involvement in an act of racial violence. Mrs. Orliss W. Clevenger, a white resident of Anniston and wife of one of the “hoodlums,” wrote indignantly that she could not “understand why when a White does something to a Negro it makes front page for two or three days and why when three Negro men raped that white woman a few weeks ago, there was only one small article about it down at the bottom of the page.” With palpable resentment, Mrs. Clevenger decried a local minister for writing a letter of condemnation regarding her husband while failing to pen one denouncement of the accused African American rapists. Surely, the clergyman did not think that her husband’s crime constituted a sin worse than the rape of a white woman? Surely, the local paper did not condemn her husband for acting on behalf of the white race? Mrs. Clevenger ended her letter by reiterating her loyalty to her husband and, by extension, her race, writing, “I’m not ashamed of what they did because that is not near so bad as rape.” “If we have lost any white friends because of this,” she concluded, “I don’t think they were worth having anyway!”1 At the time, Mrs.

  • Grammy Museum® Presents This Is Nat King Cole New Exhibit Highlights Cole's Accomplished Career and Role As a Husband, Father, and Global Ambassador
    GRAMMY MUSEUM® PRESENTS THIS IS NAT KING COLE NEW EXHIBIT HIGHLIGHTS COLE'S ACCOMPLISHED CAREER AND ROLE AS A HUSBAND, FATHER, AND GLOBAL AMBASSADOR LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (FEBRUARY 25, 2020) — GRAMMY® winner Nat King Cole is one of the most honored and iconic performing and recording artists of all time. To showcase the Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient's professional and personal achievements, the GRAMMY Museum® proudly presents This Is Nat King Cole, which will bookend his centennial celebration. The exhibit will open on, what would have been, Cole's 101st birthday, March 17, 2020, when Cole's daughters, Timolin and Casey Cole, will discuss the stories behind the exhibit with moderator Scott Goldman at the Museum’s Clive Davis Theater. The exhibit will run through summer 2020. This Is Nat King Cole will offer a retrospective of Cole's career, his most significant professional accomplishments, his relationship with Capitol Records, as well as, a glimpse into his personal life through handwritten letters to his wife and family, among other items. The masterful pianist and vocalist's initial focus was jazz, having formed the Nat King Cole Trio while in the late ’30s. Cole was signed to Capitol Records in 1943 and released his debut album, The King Cole Trio, a year later at the dawn of the LP format. The album topped Billboard's inaugural album chart. He went on to record nearly 700 songs for Capitol, including 150 singles that charted on Billboard's Pop, R&B and Country charts. That phenomenal success led to Capitol's iconic round building on Vine Street in Hollywood to be informally known as "The House That Nat Built." Along with his trailblazing music career, Cole is recognized for his contributions to the struggle for racial equality.
