Cartoons In Paradise, Donna Dial
Cartoons In Paradise, Donna Dial
Florida Historical Quarterly
Disney World may reign as Florida's most dazzling connection to the world of animated cartoons, but long before Disney there was Fleischer. Thirty-five year before Walt Disney packed Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck off to central Florida, his biggest competitor, Max and Dave Fleischer, built their own magic kingdom a couple of hundred miles farther south.

A Choctaw Academy Education, Ella Wells Drake
A Choctaw Academy Education, Ella Wells Drake
Florida Historical Quarterly
Ten weary travelers from Florida-eight Apalachicola Indian boys, an agent, and a servant-paused in the chill a Choctaw Academy came into view. The Indian school, standing on an elvated ridgetop overlooking the Kentucky countryside, appeared imposing. The Academy represented an institution of promise and potential, a school where young Indian boys could acquire the English language and Anglo-American values and custom for tribal benefit. In 1830, ninety-eight boys attended the Academy which, despite the name, was an intertribal school. Choctaws, Creeks, Potawatomies, Miamies, and Quapaws directed their education funds and promising students to Choctaw Academy. On Christmas Day, the eight …

Giveaway Forts: Territorial Forts And The Settlement Of Florida, Ernest F. Dibble
Giveaway Forts: Territorial Forts And The Settlement Of Florida, Ernest F. Dibble
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the history of American continental and overseas expansion, sometimes the lone hunter and trapper went first, or the isolated farmer. Other timese the missionary or the businessman or the railroad line arrived in advance of settler. However, sometimes the navy or the army preceded settlement and occasionally even preceded the legal possession of the territory. Military forts have played a role in the settlement of many American frontier, but on scarcely any frontier did forts play such a pervasive and significant role as they did in Florida. The United States Army preceded settlement into most sections of the territory. …
Ancote Keys Lighthouse: Guiding Light To Safe Anchorage, Geoffrey Mohlman
Ancote Keys Lighthouse: Guiding Light To Safe Anchorage, Geoffrey Mohlman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Lighthouse. The term conjures mixed images--from the romantic to the horrific--of solitude, dense fog, blood-thirsty ghosts seeking revent, gold-hungry pirates, reliability, safety, kissing lovers silhouetted by a beautiful sunset, or of a light keeping fighting the frigid raging waters of the North Atlantic in a seemingly futile attempt to save a shipwrecked damsel. Thanks to films such as John Carpenter's The Fog or Steve Sekely's 1963 science fiction classic Day of the Triffids, many of these visions persists in the American imagination. Although the noted lighthouse historian Francis Ross Holland Jr. asked forgiveness "for puncturing a few balloons of [lighthouse] …
Unmasked: The Author Of Narrative Of A Voyage To The Spanish Main In The Ship "Two Friends", Patrick W. Doyle
Unmasked: The Author Of Narrative Of A Voyage To The Spanish Main In The Ship "Two Friends", Patrick W. Doyle
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1819 John Miller of Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly, London, published the Narrative of a Voyage to the Spanish Main in the Ship "Two Friends" for an anonymous author, a young Englishman.1 The author, calling himself the "Narrator," recounted his earlier voyage to Madeira Island, the Dutch island of St. Thomas, and Spanish East Florida. The Narrative paints a revealing portrait of northeast Florida during the waning years of the Second Spanish Period. In his introduction to the 1978 republication of the Narrative John W. Griffin posed two candidates, both named John Miller, for authorship; however, he concluded "[w]ithal the author …

Cloak And Dagger In Apalachicole Province In Early 1686, John H. Hann
Cloak And Dagger In Apalachicole Province In Early 1686, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Stories of espionage awake a certain interest by their very nature. The ones presented here provide the bonus of valuable insights into life in Apalachee and along the Chattahoochee River in 1685-86 in the wake of the arrivial of the first Englishmen in the settlements on that river. It was a turning point in the history of the peoples of those two regions. The spies were Yamasee whom Apalachee's deputy-governor left behind when he ended his second invasion of the Chattahoochee River towns early in 1686. Reports that British traders from the recently founded outpost of Charles Town were in …
The 1960 And 1964 Jacksonville Riots, Abel A. Bartley
The 1960 And 1964 Jacksonville Riots, Abel A. Bartley
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the 1950 ended and a new decade began, leaders of the civil rights movement grew impatient. Nearly six year had passed since the United State Supreme Court had laid the foundation for ending segregation. Nevertheless, for African Americans little had changed. Blacks continued to languish at the bottom of American society, systematically denied the legal protection afforded to even America's newest immigrants. Forced to endure second-rate educational and social services, southern blacks increased the pressure on policy makers.
The Florida Baptist Convention And Desegregation, Mark Newman
The Florida Baptist Convention And Desegregation, Mark Newman
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although the state's malapportioned Iegislature enabled defiant hard-line segregationists in rural north Florida to dominate the General Assembly until the late 1960s, Florida' governors pursued a moderate policy of tokenism and minimal compliance with federal desegregation initiatives in the late 1950s and 1960s. The Florida Baptist Convention, representing the largest white Protestant denomination in the state with 400,000 members, did not condemn Jim Crow until the mid-1960s, but by appealing to the primary commitments Southern Baptists held to law and order, peace, public education, and missions, it encouraged them to accept desegregation. Most Southern Baptist preferred segregation and some imbued …

On November 18, 1963, Major General Leighton I. Davis, commander of the Air Force Missile Test Center (AFMTC), ordered his director of administrative services to form a committee of officers "for the purpose of providing guidance and assistance in the establishment of an Air Force Space Museum to be located at Cape Canaveral."1 Davis named General Harry Sands the committee's chairman, Major Robert White, who headed the AFMTC's Community Relations Office, was chosen to serve as the project manager for the proposed space museums. Seven years elapsed before the Air Force Space and Missile Museum received its official dedication. The …

"Is This What We Came To Florida For?": Florida Women And The Fight Against Air Pollution In The 1960s, Scott Hamilton Dewey
"Is This What We Came To Florida For?": Florida Women And The Fight Against Air Pollution In The 1960s, Scott Hamilton Dewey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Environmentalism sometimes has been characterized, and criticized, as primarily a men’s movement. Most of the early conservationists were indeed men preoccupied with outdoor recreation and wilderness experiences.2 Yet beginning in the late nineteenth century, women throughout the United States took a leading role in what would become by 1970 one of the most important branches of the environmental movement— the fight against air pollution. Although women reformers were never the only group combating air pollution, they frequently were among the most numerous and radical of such early environmental activists.
Ruth Bryan Owen: Florida's First Congresswoman And Lifetime Activist, Sally Vickers
Ruth Bryan Owen: Florida's First Congresswoman And Lifetime Activist, Sally Vickers
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Ruth Bryan Owen was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by Rollins College in 1927, she had yet to hold an elected office. A year before Owen won election as Florida’s first congresswoman, her contemporaries were already commemorating her meritorious work on behalf of her state and her country. Public recognition of Owen’s civic activism continued throughout a career that encompassed two terms in the United States House of Representatives, an appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to Denmark, and service to the United Nations as an advisor and alternate delegate to the General Assembly.
"Without Compromise Or Fear": Florida's African American Female Activists, Maxine D. Jones
"Without Compromise Or Fear": Florida's African American Female Activists, Maxine D. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his study of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, historian Charles Payne observed that “men led but women organized.“2 With few exceptions the same could be said of African American activists in Florida throughout the twentieth century. Women played a major role in combating racism and discrimination, and in seeking first-class citizenship for black Floridians.
From The Margins To The Center: Southern Women's Activism, 1820-1970, Jean Gould Bryant
From The Margins To The Center: Southern Women's Activism, 1820-1970, Jean Gould Bryant
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1988, participants in the First Southern Conference on Women’s History lamented the neglect of southern women’s history. Despite the rich research possibilities suggested by Gerda Lerner’s 1967 biography of the Grimké sisters of South Carolina and her documentary history, Black Women in White America (1972), and by Anne Firor Scott’s The Southern Lady: From Pedestal to Politics, 1830-1930 (1970), only a small fraction of the new scholarship on women’s history dealt with the South.1 Women’s historians focused largely on women in the North, while southern historians examined race, but not gender, and African American historians generally ignored black women …
Clubwomen And Civic Activism: Willie Lowry And Tampa's Club Movement, Patricia Dillon
Clubwomen And Civic Activism: Willie Lowry And Tampa's Club Movement, Patricia Dillon
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1900, only six years after moving to Tampa, Florida, Willie Miller Lowry spearheaded a drive to solicit funds from Andrew Carnegie to build a public library. Throughout her correspondence with Carnegie, Lowry repeatedly described Tampa’s rapid development and the need for new educational facilities. She argued that the library would not only provide improved educational standards but would also help to cultivate middle-class American values in the city’s immigrant population. Lowry reported that “one to one-half of Tampa’s population are Cubans and Spaniards, who, though fast becoming Americanized, stand in dire need of uplifting and educational advantages.“
