The only other site considered was the Georgia World Congress Center. According to Ms. Lillian Jackson, director of college relations for Morehouse, the committee wanted a smaller facility, Tech’s theater seats approximately 1,250while King Chapel holds over2,000. Further she said that the committee felt that the Tech facility had better acoustics. SENATE GIVES SGA $15,000 MORE FOR FIRST SEMESTER Atlanta, Ga — Due to unexpected expenses for homecoming and non­ homecoming vents, the student senate recently approved an appropriation of an additional $15,000 to the SGA. The SGA was originally allocated $40,000- $35,000 for homecoming and $5,000 for additional activities for the fall semester. However, unofficial records from senate meetings indicate that the homecoming expenses, actual and estimated, will come to approximately $49,190, with incoming revenue being estimated at $9,800. These approxima­ tions would still indicate going over budget, $4 to 5,000. Mr. Darren Mallard, SGA treasurer, indicated that additional expenses this semester such as the Class Gala, and entering Miss Maroon & White in die “Black College Hall of Photo by James Robinson Fame Pageant” led to the need to request additional funds.

From port cities where Africans disembarked from slave ships to the battle fields where their descendants fought for freedom, from the colleges and universities where they have pursued education, to places where they created communities during centuries of migration, the imprint of Americans of African descent is deeply embedded in the narrative of the American past, insert comma and the sites prompt us to remember. Over time, many of these sites of African American memory became hallowed grounds. One cannot tell the story of America without preserving and reflecting on the places where African Americans have made history. The Kingsley Plantation, DuSable’s home site, the numerous stops along the Underground Railroad, Seneca Village, Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church and Frederick Douglass’ home — to name just a few — are sites that keep alive the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in our consciousness. They retain and refresh the memories of our forbearers’ struggles for freedom, justice, and God’s grace and mercy. Similarly, the hallowed grounds of Mary McLeod Bethune’s home in Washington, 125th Street in Harlem, Beale Street in Memphis, and Sweet Auburn Avenue in Atlanta tell the story of our struggle for equal citizenship during the American century.

  • The Reality of Legacy Urban Transformation & the Economic Impact of the London 2012 Olympic Games
    MASTER THESIS – ERASMUS UNIVERSITEIT ROTTERDAM THE REALITY OF LEGACY URBAN TRANSFORMATION & THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES OLAOLUWA ADEBOYE STUDENT NO: 429581 Abstract The Reality of Legacy: Urban Transformation & the Economic Impact of the London 2012 Olympic Games is an academic Master thesis which explores the reality of the urban regeneration of East London as spurred by the 2012 Games. The dichotomous concept of Olympic legacy is evaluated from its linguistic beginnings at the Montreal 1976 Olympic Games to its centrality at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The overarching research question is: What is the reality of Olympic Legacy? This is supported by two further research questions. Firstly, it is asked how, as a conceptually broad, yet central tenant of the Olympics, how has legacy been exhibited in past Olympic Games? Thus, Section I is a qualitative analysis of the legacy of five landmark Olympic Games: Montreal, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Atlanta and Athens. The conclusion of Section I is that the historical evolution of legacy has been centred on its malleability and it is now inextricability intertwined with the modern Olympics; one cannot exist without the other, never more the case than with London 2012. Upon this rich foundation, rests the second research question: did the regeneration of Stratford as part of the London 2012 Olympic lead to direct benefit of the community as reflected through a change in local house prices? Section II thereby presents a quantitative study focusing specifically on the real estate market of the London Borough of Newham. A hedonic pricing model is built, using a range of house- and neighbourhood- characteristics for transactions between 2007 and 2015.
