Grant. Terry moved to Corinth with his family when he was 7 years old. By the time he was in high school he was already working with his father, who was the owner of B.L. Grant and Son at that time. He also spent a year driving for Eastman's gravel business. When Terry was 19, and still in high school, his father passed away. It was after this that Terry became a business owner. Starting out with one truck, he has now built the business up to include four plow trucks, three dump trucks, and assorted excavators and a bulldozer. Carrying on the family tradition, his son Jason started working with him when he was 15, and between them they now plow a total of 46 miles of road in Corinth. Terry has been plowing and maintaining these roads for 52 years, with no thought currently of retiring, as he enjoys it too much-now that is dedication! The Town of Corinth is very fortunate to have such a committed and conscientious man not only to care for our roads, but as a long-time resident of our town. 122949 Town of Corinth - 2018-2019 Town Report CVR.pdf, February 25, 2019, 09:58:42 TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication ........................................................................ ......

  • Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood
    Katherine Kinney Cold Wars: Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood n 1982 Louis Gossett, Jr was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman, becoming theI first African American actor to win an Oscar since Sidney Poitier. In 1989, Denzel Washington became the second to win, again in a supporting role, for Glory. It is perhaps more than coincidental that both award winning roles were soldiers. At once assimilationist and militant, the black soldier apparently escapes the Hollywood history Donald Bogle has named, “Coons, Toms, Bucks, and Mammies” or the more recent litany of cops and criminals. From the liberal consensus of WWII, to the ideological ruptures of Vietnam, and the reconstruction of the image of the military in the Reagan-Bush era, the black soldier has assumed an increasingly prominent role, ironically maintaining Hollywood’s liberal credentials and its preeminence in producing a national mythos. This largely static evolution can be traced from landmark films of WWII and post-War liberal Hollywood: Bataan (1943) and Home of the Brave (1949), through the career of actor James Edwards in the 1950’s, and to the more politically contested Vietnam War films of the 1980’s. Since WWII, the black soldier has held a crucial, but little noted, position in the battles over Hollywood representations of African American men.1 The soldier’s role is conspicuous in the way it places African American men explicitly within a nationalist and a nationaliz- ing context: U.S. history and Hollywood’s narrative of assimilation, the combat film.

  • Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - the AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION
    AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA CINEMA AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA The history of the African-American Cinema is a harsh timeline of racism, repression and struggle contrasted with film scenes of boundless joy, hope and artistic spirit. Until recently, the study of the "separate cinema" (a phrase used by historians John Kisch and Edward Mapp to describe the segregation of the mainstream, Hollywood film community) was limited, if not totally ignored, by writers and researchers. The uphill battle by black filmmakers and performers, to achieve acceptance and respect, was an ugly blot on the pages of film history. Upon winning his Best Actor Oscar for LILLIES OF THE FIELD (1963), Sidney Poitier accepted, on behalf of the countless unsung African-American artists, by acknowledging the "long journey to this moment." This emotional, heartbreaking and inspiring journey is vividly illustrated by the latest acquisition to the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION. The valuable research material, housed in this collection, includes over 300 pressbooks (illustrated campaign and advertising catalogs sent to theatre owners), press kits (media packages including biographies, promotional essays and illustrations), programs and over 1000 photographs and slides. The journey begins with the blatant racism of D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a film respected as an epic milestone, but reviled as the blueprint for black film stereotypes that would appear throughout the 20th century. Researchers will follow African-American films through an extended period of stereotypical casting (SONG OF THE SOUTH, 1946) and will be dazzled by the glorious "All-Negro" musicals such as STORMY WEATHER (1943), ST.LOUIS BLUES (1958) and PORGY AND BESS (1959).

  • A History of Black Video Game Characters: the Good, the Bad, and the Shaq Fu
    A History of Black Video Game Characters: The Good, The Bad, and The Shaq Fu It is an inescapable fact that out of all the media consumed by Americans, (whether it be movies, television, or video games) most are dominated by male Caucasian lead characters. So when there are characters that buck the norm, they deserve to be recognized. In observance of Black History Month, here is a look at the progression (and regression) of black video game characters. Black video game characters have been around longer than most would suspect; at least all the way back to 1979 when Atari released Basketball on the Atari 800 in color. The basketball player had no name, but that wasn't uncommon in the “Pre-Mario” days. IMAGE The first named African-American video game star was a name that carried a lot of weight... in fact he was the world heavyweight champion. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! was a ground breaking title in many respects, but most notably it was the first game to license a celebrity athlete to appear in the game. Iron Mike remains to this day as one of the most fearsome bosses in video game history, with no predictable patterns and a one hit knockdown punch. It almost become a right of passage for an African-American athlete to appear in his own video game... Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippin, Ken Griffey Jr, and of course Tiger Woods' long running series of PGA golf games with EA. Most of these titles also followed in the tradition of being absolutely horrible licensed games, with Shaq-Fu being one of the worst offenders.

Yellow Tokens: From Racist Depictions to Token Minorities By Debra Kates Capstone Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Studies Cultural Studies Program School of Liberal Arts and Sciences Columbia College Chicago May 12, 2017 Abstract The project argues that the misrepresentation of Asians in film is a direct result of white supremacy. It researches the presentation of East Asian Americans in films as a result of the hegemonic ideology of whiteness, focusing on the standard of movie star perfection as a form of white supremacy, and includes films that have white men and women cast in lead roles, even when the story is uniquely Asian. Using the theoretical lens of whiteness studies the project analyzes examples from the American film industry from the past fifteen years.

Brooklyn, NY/Dec 15, 2014—Renegade auteur John Carpenter makes a rare New York appearance at BAM on Thursday, February 5 to discuss his legendary career and celebrate the release of his first solo album, Lost Themes. Boasting “one of the most consistent and coherent bodies of work in modern cinema” (Kent Jones, Film Comment), Carpenter injects B-movie genres—horror, sci-fi, action—with the bravura stylistic technique of classical Hollywood giants like Howard Hawks, John Ford, and Alfred Hitchcock, and composes the scores for nearly all of his films. He will be joined by Brooke Gladstone, host of NPR’s On the Media, for a wide-ranging discussion of his film and music. Lost Themes will be released in conjunction with the event on February 3 through Sacred Bones Records.
