The Origins Of Tallahasseee's Racial Disturbance Plan: Segregation, Racial Tensions, And Violence During World War Ii, Jon Evans
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the evening of Easter Sunday 1945, a quiet darkness fell on Tallahassee, home to Florida's state government, the Florida State College for Women, and Dale Mabry Airfield. After a day of holiday festivities and celebration, activities in the small town began to wind down. Yet, around 10 p.m., the stillness was broken by the sounds of angry voices and shattering glass int he city's predominantly black Frenchtown neighborhood. The calm of that Sunday evening was marred by a disturbance involving black troops Dale Mabry Field and Carrabelle's Camp Gordon Johnston. the melee began, according to Tallahassee Chief of Police …

Whitening Miami: Race, Housing, And Government Policy In Twentieth-Century Dade County, Raymond A. Mohl
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout the twentieth century, government agencies played a powerful role in creating and sustaining racially separate and segregated housing in Dade County, Florida. This pattern of housing segregation initially was imposed early through official policies of "racial zoning," During the New Deal era of lhe 1930s, federal housing policies were implemented at the local level to maintain legally segregated housing and neighborhoods. Such policies included the appraisal system established by the federal Home Owners Loan Corporation, which helped to create the discriminatory lending system known as "redlining." In addition, under the New Deal's federally sponsored public housing program, local housing …
Colorless Primaries: Tampa's White Municipal Party, Pam Iorio
Colorless Primaries: Tampa's White Municipal Party, Pam Iorio
Florida Historical Quarterly
The oppression of southern blacks in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century came to be known as the age of Jim Crow. Freedoms wrung from lhe battlefields of the Civil War, and expanded during Reconstruction, were stripped away with oppressive measures designed to assert while supremacy. The right of suffrage was quashed with a vengeance. Black men and some black women who had voted during Rcconstruction, and had even held public office, were divested of this right by acts that ranged from stark intimidation and violence to implementation of exclusive primaries, literacy tests, and poll taxes.

Florida Historical Quarterly
Writing about his early twentieth-century childhood in Daytona, the renowned theologian Howard Thurman related a story about his older cousin and idol. Thorton Smith. A semi-pro baseball player in his youth, Smith had established himself by the 1920s as a successful restaurateur in Midway, the most business-oriented of Daytona's three black neighoorhoods. He purchased supplies from Edward Armstrong, a white grocer and aspiring politician who wanted to loosen the Ku Klux Klan's grip on the city; Smith suggested to him that the Klan could be defeated only if blacks were allowed to vote. After in itially rejecting the idea, the …

Sex With Robots And Human-Machine Sexualities: Encounters Between Human-Machine Communication And Sexuality Studies, Marco Dehnert
Sex With Robots And Human-Machine Sexualities: Encounters Between Human-Machine Communication And Sexuality Studies, Marco Dehnert
Human-Machine Communication
Sex robots are a controversial topic. Understood as artificial-intelligence enhanced humanoid robots designed for use in partnered and solo sex, sex robots offer ample opportunities for theorizing from a Human-Machine Communication (HMC) perspective. This comparative literature review conjoins the seemingly disconnected literatures of HMC and sexuality studies (SeS) to explore questions surrounding intimacy, love, desire, sex, and sexuality among humans and machines. In particular, I argue for understanding human-machine sexualities as communicative sexuotechnical-assemblages, extending previous efforts in both HMC and SeS for more-than-human, ecological, and more fluid approaches to humans and machines, as well as to sex and sexuality. This …
The Symptom Of Ethics: Rethinking Ethics In The Face Of The Machine, David J. Gunkel
The Symptom Of Ethics: Rethinking Ethics In The Face Of The Machine, David J. Gunkel
Human-Machine Communication
This essay argues that it is the machine that constitutes the symptom of ethics— “symptom” understood as that excluded “part that has no part” in the system of moral consideration. Ethics, which has been historically organized around a human or at least biological subject, needs the machine to define the proper limits of the moral community even if it simultaneously excludes such mechanisms from any serious claim on moral consideration. The argument will proceed in five steps or movements. The first part will define and characterize “the symptom” as it has been operationalized in the work of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj …

In the 1920s, radio in the United States was in its infancy. Only two decades earlier, in Decemher 1901, Guglielmo Marconi had successfully transmitted and received wireless signals across the Atlantic Ocean. Since then, equipment and techniques had been improved-mainly for military or maritime safety uses such as communication with ships at sea. Most early efforts involved wireless telegraphy, transmitting Morse Code by radio signals. Some experimenters, however, worked on wireless telephony and the transmission of the human voice.
Taking Out The Trailer Trash: The Battle Over Mobile Homes In St. Petersburg, Florida, Lee Irby
Taking Out The Trailer Trash: The Battle Over Mobile Homes In St. Petersburg, Florida, Lee Irby
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1953, Fred Wilder, a World War II veteran from Ohio, arrived in St. Petersburg and look possession of four acres of land on Sixth Street South. Wilder intended to open a trailer park and live on site with his family, taking advantage of the second-generation mobile homes that offered modern amenities, especially for retirees. He began clearing the land so that, by 1954, he could take in his first residents. Renting lots of thirty-three by fifty-two feet, Wilder charged twenty dollars per month, which included water, sewer, and garbage collection. By May 1957, Wilder's Trailer park reached full occupancy. …

The Short Life Of The Richard A. Bingham, Jan Richard Heier
The Short Life Of The Richard A. Bingham, Jan Richard Heier
Florida Historical Quarterly
Just after midnight on December 18, 1903, a schooner left the Belize City harbor bound for Pensacola. On board was a shipment of mahogany logs and a crew that no doubt was looking forward to a quiet voyage home. The journey to Belize, which had begun in early August, had been anything but quiet. A storm wracked the schooner for days after its departure from Pensacola, reportedly causing it to take on water at an alarming rate. The inexperienced captain finally brought the vessel safely into port only to discover that the and the crew diverged seven hundred miles off …

At 9:47 on the morning of February 20, 1962, Lt. Colonel John "Shorty" Power delivered the message that millions of Americans had waited four year to hear: "Glenn reports all spacecraft system go! Mercury Control is go!" A little over three hours later Friendship 7 landed in the Atlantic Ocean. From the White House Rose Garden, President John F. Kennedy sent congratulations to the astronaut and "all of those who participated with Colonel Glenn at Canaveral. We have a long way to go in this space race," Kennedy declared, "but this is the new ocean, and I believe the United …
Historic Notes And Documents: Evidence Pertinent To The Florida Cabildo Controversy And The Misdating Of The Juan Marquez Cabrera Governorship, John H. Hann
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before 1764, did Spanish Florida possess the traditional municipal in titution known the cabildo? Since the 1964 publication of John Jay TePask's The Governorship of Spanish Florida, 1700-1763, the more common opinion among authorities on Colonial Florida is that St. Augustine housed the cabildo only from the time of Pedro Menendez de Avile's founding of the city in 1565 until about 1570 when most of his fellow migrants left the colony.1 Paul E. Hoffman and Eugene Lyon took a similar stand in 1969, arguing that because St. Augustine lacked a cabildo in the mid-sixteenth century, the governor could not comply …
Fort Mitchell And The Settlement Of The Alachua Country, Chris Monaco
Fort Mitchell And The Settlement Of The Alachua Country, Chris Monaco
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fort Mitchell, the former capital of the "Republic of East Florida" during the Patriot War, has never attained distinction. Erected in January of 1814, the twenty-five-foot square, two-story blockhouse was reported to hav been abandoned in May of the same year. When viewed in either military or political terms, the fort was a failure. However this small outpost on the Alachua frontier was originally intended as the nucleus of a self-sustaining, long-term agricultural colony.2 While short-lived Fort Mitchell is especially noteworthy because it was the first substantial Anglo-American settlement in the interior of Spanish East Florida.3 By 1821, seven year …

William B. Barnett And Sons: Florida Banking Pioneers, David J. Ginzl
Florida Historical Quarterly
In January 1998, NationsBank completed its acquisition of Barnett Banks Inc., the last major banking company headquartered in Florida. The bank traced its origins to May 1877, when William Boyd Barnett opened The Bank of Jacksonville. During the next 120 years, with five generations of Barnetts working for the bank that eventually bore the family name, it grew to be a major financial institution with more than six hundred offices throughout Florida and $44 billion in assets. Based upon the writings of the founder's son, Bion, and other extant bank records, this study examines the pioneer banker and the challenges …

Highways To Heaven Or Roads To Ruin, Evan P. Bennett
Florida Historical Quarterly
In December 1949, Ray Strong of Windsor, Canada, came to Starke, Florida, by chance. He had traveled to the Sunshine State to find property to build a motor court, but he missed his appointment in Lake City and, to "kill time," drove to Jacksonville. On his way back to Lake City Strong decided to tak a long route through Starke. He "liked the looks of the town," and, two months later, Strong's El Rancho Motel-"modern in every respect"-opened for business on US Highway 301, one mile south of Starke. The El Rancho was not the only motel built near Starke …

In 1940, Cairo's Al-Ahram observed that Volusia County lawyer and American diplomat Bert Fish had "gained the love of Egyptians for his frankness and ability to become the friend of Egyptians, and because of his great love for Egypt he is proud to call himself 'half-Egyptian'"-strange praise for a man of humble origins who began in the courtrooms of central Florida, rose to prominence in the state supreme court and the national Democratic Party, and eventually became a significant member of America's diplomatic corp. Indead, few early twentieth century Volusia County residents achieved the level of distinction enjoyed by DeLand …

After days of tedious excursions in the miserable humidity of Florida's Everglades, Lieutenant John T. McLaughlin decided to return his disabled and sick to their island base. The sailors, now several years into the Second Seminole War, had become physically overwhelmed by the wet condition, biting insects, and swamplife around them. Moving through terrain typified by "continuou portage over stump and cypress knees with occasional glimpses of open water," the healthier of McLaughlin's men continued their assignment, paddling their small canoes to search out sign of enemy activity. Excitement arose as three canoes were discovered concealed in the undergrowth, but …
