  • Here I Come with All My Black Girl Magic”: Black Women and Girls’ Experiences in Predominantly White Independent Private Schools
    “HERE I COME WITH ALL MY BLACK GIRL MAGIC”: BLACK WOMEN AND GIRLS’ EXPERIENCES IN PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INDEPENDENT PRIVATE SCHOOLS BY DEVEAN R. OWENS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Policy, Organization and Leadership with a concentration in Diversity and Equity in Education in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Anjalé Welton, Chair Professor Ruth Nicole Brown Professor Adrienne Dixson Professor Helen Neville Abstract Within independent private schools specifically, Black women and girls endure feelings of rejection, isolation, and inadequacy all whilst trying to maintain their academic or career success and a positive self-perception. Through the lenses of Black Feminist Thought and Critical Race Theory, this dissertation presents Black women and girls’ true experiences in PWIS which defy dominant deficit beliefs. Participants detailed the racism, erasure, and trauma they endured and the detrimental effects these experiences caused in their lives. They also expressed the importance and value of their relationships with one another. These relationships provided them with the affirmation and confidence they needed to believe in and stand up for themselves. Black women and girls engage in various resistance strategies through living authentically, challenging dominant norms, and advocating for themselves and others in the school community. ii Acknowledgements Students & participants… Thank you for inspiring me! Thank you for taking the time to participate in this study. Drs. Welton, Brown, Dixson, Neville, and Zamani-Gallaher… Thank you for challenging me to think more critically and seeing me through this journey.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

  • SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic Zoldy Implored Us to Have Fun
    MORE SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic Zoldy implored us to have fun playing softball in this league. There is no better medicine in life than laughter. If we can’t laugh at ourselves playing softball as if we were still kids, then it isn’t fun. Here are some of our favorite lighter moments from the league’s history that makes us all laugh. 1. Senior Softball Snippet: The enraptured pitcher… Al Hessy’s reputation as a ladies man was legendary. Al always had his cell phone handy and was always talking to the ladies, even during the games. Focusing on softball doesn’t always avert senior moments. Al once took the mound but forgot to put on his pants. But what the hell, Al pitched anyway wearing only his long johns, complete with button-ups to cover up his butt. The game must go on. The league was co-ed at the time. 2. Senior Softball Snippet: Senior moment events even take place during batting practice. Ted Wiekowski had a classic one. Backing up trying to catch a popup near first base, Ted missed it and fell down. Ted was still on the ground with his butt facing home plate as the next ball was being pitched. Manny London put the next pitch square in the middle of Ted’s butt. Manny, of course, denies that Ted’s butt was the target he was aiming for and said he was just going with the pitch. Manny has never let Ted forget it, though. 3. Senior Softball Snippet: Angelo Malizia used to give career and romance advice to kids who played on his teams over the years.
