In 1688, British playwright Aphra Behn finishedThe Widow Ranter in which the line “Let’s barbicu this fat rogue” is shouted by a rabble-rouser in a crowd scene. England’s first professional female writer, Behn used the word as a verb. Its use confirms the term was so well-known that the audience would understand its meaning—and probably laugh at its implications. This story is paired with an original copy of the pamphlet The Barbacue Feast—one of only three in the world—published in London in 1707 and containing the first description of a whole-hog roast. Together, they begin the visitor experience to Barbecue Nation, Atlanta History Center’s celebration of the history and food culture of American barbecue. Though variations and nuances abound, the common theme among barbecue enthusiasts 2019 OPEN THROUGH SEPTEMBER 29, is their excitement over barbecue: what it is, how it tastes, and where to get it.

  • Objectivity, Interdisciplinary Methodology, and Shared Authority
    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

But there it was this spring on a billboard towering over Atlanta’s I-75/85 Downtown Connector, in giant mint-colored letters sharing space with Iblown-up vintage buttons representing Hank Aaron, the Fox Theatre, and other Atlanta icons: “Do It for the Culture.” As part of a bold rebranding, the illuminated bill- Atlanta community of Buckhead in late 2015.

History museums aren’t usually in the habit of a large curved expanse of structural glass and limestone referencing rap songs, but the Atlanta History Center is rising from a base of Georgia granite. The façade opens going through an unprecedented period of reinvention, into an atrium with 30-foot-high ceilings that replaced a clearing cobwebs from its image and projecting the slightly dim and cramped train station-styled lobby.
