Ringing Up A School: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Impact On Daytona, Audrey Thomas Mccluskey
Ringing Up A School: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Impact On Daytona, Audrey Thomas Mccluskey
Florida Historical Quarterly
The limited scholarly attention given to Mary McLeod Bethune has focused either on her pioneering efforts to integrate the federal bureaucracy during the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt or on her equally trailblazing work in the black women’s club movement.1 To be sure, historians have recognized Bethune as one of this country’s most important educators, but this critical aspect of her career remains imperfectly understood. This is especially true of the school that she founded for women in 1904, which became the coeducational liberal arts institution Bethune-Cookman College.

Color Matters: The Creation Of The Saralee Doll, Gordon Patterson
Color Matters: The Creation Of The Saralee Doll, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
"It had begun with Christmas,” declared Claudia, Toni Morrison’s narrator in her novel The Bluest Eye. “The big, the special, the loving gift was always a big, blue-eyed, Baby Doll. From the clucking sounds of adults I knew that the doll represented what they thought was my fondest wish. I was bemused with the thing itself, and the way it looked. What was I supposed to do with it?“1 Through much of the twentieth century, generations of African-American children experienced the full force of this fictional character’s dilemma. Their skin color posed a barrier between their self-image and the image …
Harmon Murray: Black Desperado In Late Nineteenth-Century Florida, Billy Jaynes Chandler
Harmon Murray: Black Desperado In Late Nineteenth-Century Florida, Billy Jaynes Chandler
Florida Historical Quarterly
North Florida was far from the Wild West, but for a time in the late nineteenth century it ceded little in the notoriety of its outlaws to that famous region. If Harmon Murray, leader of the “north Florida gang,” has not taken his place in history alongside Billy the Kid or Jesse James, it was hardly his fault. Though he was soon forgotten, at the time of his death in late summer 1891 Murray’s name was known throughout the state and beyond. The reasons for Murray’s quick rise to fame had much to do with his skill, courage, and sheer …
Civil Rights Leader Harry T. Moore And The Ku Klux Klan In Florida, James C. Clark
Civil Rights Leader Harry T. Moore And The Ku Klux Klan In Florida, James C. Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Christmas night 1951 Harry Tyson Moore became the first civil rights leader assassinated in the United States when a bomb placed beneath the bedroom of his small frame home in Mims, Florida, exploded. It killed Moore and his wife Harriett. For many years Moore had been an ambitious fighter for civil rights in Florida. He led the first effort in Florida to achieve equal pay for black teachers, organized the state’s first black voter registration drives, established the first state conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and spoke up when law enforcement officials …

The Other Side Now: What Blanding Prisoners Of War Told The Wehrmacht, Robert D. Billinger, Jr.
The Other Side Now: What Blanding Prisoners Of War Told The Wehrmacht, Robert D. Billinger, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fifty years after the arrival of German prisoners of war in Florida their story is still little known.1 Admittedly their presence was minimal since only about 4,000 out of the 378,000 German prisoners who spent time in America were detained in the state. Florida was one of forty-five states with POWs, and the base camp at Camp Blanding, with its fifteen side camps, was only one of 155 base camps in the continental United States.
Women And War: St. Petersburg Women During World War Ii, Ellen J. Babb
Women And War: St. Petersburg Women During World War Ii, Ellen J. Babb
Florida Historical Quarterly
During World War II, government agencies and private businesses recruited millions of American women for employment in wartime industries and in other nontraditional fields when the nation’s young men left for war. Government propaganda, national periodicals, and local newspapers worked in unison to promote female employment, and popular songs like “Rosie the Riveter” inspired allegiance on the home front. In a radical departure from previously sanctioned public behavior, older, married women— many with children— entered the country’s labor force en masse. Even though millions of women stepped well beyond previously accepted boundaries of home and “women’s sphere” during World War …

Gi Joe Meets Jim Crow: Racial Violence And Reform In World War Ii Florida, Gary R. Mormino
Florida Historical Quarterly
Where were you on December 7, 1941, and what did you experience on that memorable day? If you were Master Sergeant Warren Bryant, stationed at Tampa’s MacDill Field, you were reminded of your place in American society. Bryant explained the coming of war: “When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor . . . all of the whites at MacDill Field were running around with loaded guns. We [blacks] had no guns and no idea of what was going on, so you can imagine what was running through our minds until we learned of the Japanese attack. Even with this knowledge it …

"Hell-By-The-Sea": Florida's Camp Gordon Johnston In World War Ii, David J. Coles
Florida Historical Quarterly
World War II was a profoundly transforming experience in the development of the South and the state of Florida. As historian George Tindall has noted of the region, “To a greater degree than the previous war it put people on the move: to shipyards, war plants, training camps, and far-flung battlefields.” Military facilities costing more than four billion dollars came into being throughout the South, and Florida shared fully in this expansion. The war also brought increased prosperity to both rural and urban areas and hastened the demands of black residents for greater political and economic opportunities.

Religion At The Polls: A Case Study Of Twentieth-Century Politics And Religion In Florida, Wayne Flynt
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida politicians show up in strange places. Shawn Ryan, pop music writer for The Birmingham News, authored a column on March 2, 1990, about Governor Robert Martinez’s attempt to purge Florida record stores of obscene material. A special session of the Florida legislature had just pulverized the governor’s antiabortion legislative package. Martinez sought to recover by ordering a record by 2 Live Crew, “As Nasty As They Wanna Be,” removed from record store shelves in Dade County. The fact that the governor of a state with more than its share of adult book stores and pornography palaces should have targeted …
Hard Times, Hard Liquor, And Hard Luck: Selective Enforcement Of Prohibition In North Florida, 1928-1933, John J. Guthrie, Jr.
Hard Times, Hard Liquor, And Hard Luck: Selective Enforcement Of Prohibition In North Florida, 1928-1933, John J. Guthrie, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
A recent body of scholarly literature has extensively studied moonshining and the enforcement of federal liquor laws.1 Focusing mainly on the post-Reconstruction mountain South, historians have portrayed moonshiners as traditionalists who resisted federal liquor laws in order to “preserve a way of life that was being threatened by the centralizing forces then shaping America.“2 In one encompassing study, for example, Wilbur R. Miller raised the question: “What are the conditions under which unpopular laws can be enforced, and what are the limits of their enforcement?” After investigating this matter, Miller found that the universal hostility of Democratic state officials to …

The Florida Cracker Before The Civil War As Seen Through Travelers' Accounts, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
Lieutenant Colonel John Wilder of the Union occupation force was stationed for most of the Civil War in Key West. A week after Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox he visited Cedar Key. Located near the mouth of the Suwannee River, Cedar Key was an important rendezvous point for refugees, Union troops, Confederate deserters, and Unionist sympathizers. On April 20, 1865, Wilder wrote his mother that when he arrived there were about 2,000 white refugees, a “great curiosity; crackers most of them— that is poor whites, not more intelligent or virtuous than the negroes.” He described them as “pale, cadaverous, …

Where Palm And Pine Are Blowing: Convict Labor In The North Florida Turpentine Industry, 1877-1923, Jeffrey A. Drobney
Where Palm And Pine Are Blowing: Convict Labor In The North Florida Turpentine Industry, 1877-1923, Jeffrey A. Drobney
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1912 journalist Marc Goodnow visited the pine forests of north Florida seeking information for an article he was writing on the turpentine industry. Goodnow’s findings, which appeared in an exposé entitled “Turpentine: Impressions of the Convicts’ Camps of Florida,” shocked the nation. In the article Goodnow described how he stood in horror and watched as a black convict was forced to be a “runner” in a deadly game of hide and seek. In this weekly occurrence, which trained camp dogs to track down escaped convicts, the man was given a five-minute head start and then required to lead the …
