  • Place Studies on Tourism and Identity in Modern South Carolina
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: SOMBREROS AND MOTORCYCLES: PLACE STUDIES ON TOURISM AND IDENTITY IN MODERN SOUTH CAROLINA Paula Nicole King, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies This dissertation examines the rise of tourism as an important social and economic force in the U.S. South through place studies of tourist sites in South Carolina. The roadside attraction South of the Border and the historically black town of Atlantic Beach are analyzed as touriscapes that provide historical narratives foregrounding the connections between place and southern identity in the modern era. Touriscapes are defined as places where perspectives overlap and identities intersect to produce spaces of serious cultural and historical significance as well as recreation and fun. Both of these touriscapes were enacted as tourism developed and Jim Crow segregation began to crumble, and they have survived into the twenty-first century. They are sites of commercial development, resistance, and political strife that should be studied, engaged, and preserved for future generations to better understand the complexity of southern history, culture, and identity.

  • Freaknik and the Civil Rights Legacy of Atlanta by Peter William Stockus
    Rethinking African American Protest: Freaknik and the Civil Rights Legacy of Atlanta by Peter William Stockus A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama December 8, 2012 Keywords: Atlanta, Georgia, Civil Rights, Hip-Hop, Protest, Social Copyright 2012 by Peter William Stockus Approved by David Carter, Chair, Associate Professor of History Aaron Shapiro, Assistant Professor of History Charles Israel, Associate Professor of History Abstract During the late 1980s and early 90s, Atlanta played host to the spring break festival Freaknik. A gathering of Historically Black College and University students and African American youth, Freaknik came to challenge the racial dynamics of a city that billed itself as “too busy to hate.” As black revelers cruised the streets, the congregation of up to 250,000 youth created major logistical problems for the city and forced the residents of the predominantly white neighborhoods of Piedmont Park and Midtown to examine the racial dynamics of Atlanta. These contested neighborhoods became hotbeds of protest, with many white residents viewing the actions of the fete participants as damaging to the neighborhoods. While many within Atlanta’s white community opposed the party, leaders of the black community condemned the actions of African American Mayor Bill Campbell and the white populace for restricting Freaknik, suggesting the actions of Freaknik opponents as racist and unnecessary. Utilizing Atlanta’s Civil Rights legacy, Freaknik participants not only confronted contested spaces of community within Atlanta, but also disputed the ownership of the Civil Rights movement.

    ARTICLES & ESSAYS: The Washington Lawyers' Committee's Fifty-Year Battle for Racial Equality in Places of Public Accommodation Fall, 2018 Reporter 62 How. L.J. 74 * Length: 27230 words Author: Robert B. Duncan* and Karl M.F. Lockhart* * Senior Counsel, Hogan Lovells US LLP; Adjunct Professor and Lecturer, University of Virginia School of Law. + Law Clerk, Hogan Lovells US LLP; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law, 2018. Text [*74] INTRODUCTION The Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs was established in 1968, just four years after the enactment of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. A small group of concerned Washington, D.C. lawyers founded the Committee in response to a 1968 National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders report identifying racial segregation and poverty as root causes of the city riots that erupted during the late 1960s. 1 The report's recommendations focused [*75] on eliminating discrimination in education, housing and employment opportunity; and on dedicating the public resources necessary to ensure all Americans have "a minimum standard of decent living." 2 Since its inception, the Lawyers' Committee has accepted the Commission's clarion call, as other articles in this volume demonstrate, working tirelessly to fight the effects of poverty and to ensure equal access to schools, housing and jobs. However, the Commission emphasized that the national action necessary to achieve the Report's "major goal[,] the creation of a true union - a single society and a single American identity"-would
