Camp Roosevelt: A Case Study Of The Nya In Florida, Dave Nelson
Camp Roosevelt: A Case Study Of The Nya In Florida, Dave Nelson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In April 1940, Life magazine's cover story on "Government and Youth" updated an article the magazine had published on the youth problem in 1936. The cover featured a photograph of Mabel Sealey, an enrollee at Camp Roosevelt, a National Youth Administration (NYA) resident project in Ocala, Florida. The accompanying article, presented the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as boys' work relief, while the NYA provided relief for girls.1 In the gendered language of the narrative and the photographic images, the masculine CCC project accomplished important work such as fire fighting and tree planting, while teaching its enrollees military discipline and job …
The Cuban Convention And Its Role In The Cuban Revolutionary Party, Consuelo E. Stebbins
The Cuban Convention And Its Role In The Cuban Revolutionary Party, Consuelo E. Stebbins
Florida Historical Quarterly
In June 1892, Luis Lagomasino, an agent of a secret organization known only to its members as the Cuban Convention was summoned to Key West to provide an update on the preparations underway in Cuba for the revolution. Lagomasino, the Convention's agent in the eastern province of Las Villas, arrived in Key West on June 22, 1892, where he was affectionately received by Jose Dolores (J. D.) Poyo and General Serafin Sanchez, who introduced him to the wealthy industrialist, Eduardo H. Gato, and the veteran insurgent leader, Fernando Figueredo Soccards. On the night of June 24, 1892, Lagomasino met with …

The Burden Of Southern Literature: Can Florida Bear It? 2007 Jillian Prescott Memorial Lecture, Ron Cooper
The Burden Of Southern Literature: Can Florida Bear It? 2007 Jillian Prescott Memorial Lecture, Ron Cooper
Florida Historical Quarterly
Historians bristle when asked, "So how do you characterize the South? What makes something Southern? And please, be brief." Most respond that the region is much too complex for a simple answer. After all, this is the land of Thomas Jefferson and John C. Calhoun; Dizzy Gillespie and Britney Spears; Jasper Johns and Junior Samples. To make matters worse, we rarely agree on geographical membership. Is Texas the South? Missouri? Maryland? And, of course, what about Florida? If a culture is unified largely by the stories it tells about itself, even when those stories have little resemblance to historical fact, …

The Struggle For Minority Representation In Florida, 1960-1990, Peyton Mccrary
The Struggle For Minority Representation In Florida, 1960-1990, Peyton Mccrary
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1960 African Americans in the South were substantially disfranchised by racially discriminatory registration procedures. A little over a third of the black voting age population was registered, and whites were registered at more than twice that rate.1 Not surprisingly, state legislatures in the region were all white, although a few local governments had elected a black person to public office from time to time in the years since World War II -- usually from single-member districts in the black part of town.2 By 1990 this portrait of inequality had been transformed beyond recognition. Formal barriers to registration and voting …

The "Jewel" Of The South?: Miami, Florida, And The Naacp's Struggle For Civil Rights In America's Vacation Paradise, Chanelle Rose
The "Jewel" Of The South?: Miami, Florida, And The Naacp's Struggle For Civil Rights In America's Vacation Paradise, Chanelle Rose
Florida Historical Quarterly
The most recent studies on civil rights activism in Florida demystify popular notions of the ostensibly atypical southern state as an aberration from the Deep South.1 However, V.O. Key's 1949 characterization of the "tremendous gap in tempo epitomized in the contrast between a sleepy, rural Old South county of northern Florida and the bustling city of Miami" exemplified the widening gap between the intrastate regions in the era following the Second World War. As Miami Herald reporter Philip Meyer noted, "neither northern nor typically southern, Miami is a kind of sociological time capsule suspended between two worlds."2 Such characterizations as …
More Negotiation And Less Demonstrations: The Naacp, Sclc, And Racial Conflict In Pensacola, 1970-1978, J. Michael Butler
More Negotiation And Less Demonstrations: The Naacp, Sclc, And Racial Conflict In Pensacola, 1970-1978, J. Michael Butler
Florida Historical Quarterly
The civil rights movement is a topic that continues to inspire a tremendous amount of scholarly research. One topic that remains relatively unexplored, though, is the post-1960s struggle for black equality. Traditional narratives typically use the 1968 assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as their symbolic conclusion. Yet the fight against racial injustice continued beyond King's death, and the next decade brought new issues for civil rights activists. One of the most fascinating concerns the role traditional organizations, particularIy the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), played in …
Haven't Quite Shaken The Horror: Howard Kester, The Lynching Of Claude Neal, And Social Activism In The South During The 1930s, Joshua Youngblood
Haven't Quite Shaken The Horror: Howard Kester, The Lynching Of Claude Neal, And Social Activism In The South During The 1930s, Joshua Youngblood
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the night of October 26, 1934, outside the small town of Greenwood, Florida, Claude Neal was lynched. The twenty-three-year-old African-American farm-wage laborer was accused of the murder of Lola Cannidy, a twenty-year-old white woman Neal had known nearly his entire life. The lynching of Claude Neal sparked a furor among liberal activists around the nation and provided an opportunity for a radical critique of the South. Socialist Howard Kester conducted the most significant contemporary investigation of the lynching. An outspoken opponent of segregation, Kester vigorously supported the economically depressed and exploited throughout the South, from striking coal miners to …

Florida Historical Quarterly
The four articles in this issue of the Quarterly provide a sixty-year perspective on race and civil rights in Florida. Each of the articles is firmly grounded in local events and personalities, but each successfully places community and state history within national and regional perspectives and raises new questions for future scholarship. Joshua Youngblood's analysis of the lynching of Claude Neal begins with one of the most brutal examples of public murder in Florida and southern history. Youngblood connects the event with depression-era civil rights activities and leftist efforts to effect economic justice, and uses Howard Kester's investigation of the …

Progress And Sacrifice: Tampa Shipyard Workers In World War Ii, Stacy Lynn Tanner
Progress And Sacrifice: Tampa Shipyard Workers In World War Ii, Stacy Lynn Tanner
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early morning hours of December 7, 1941, Japanese planes bombed and strafed the harbor and airfields at Pearl Harbor and on Ford Island. When the raid ended eight battleships, three cruisers, three destroyers, and almost 200 airplanes had been destroyed and 2,400 American sailors were dead or dying in the oily waters-and the United States was no longer an observer of the war that raged on three continents.
A Women's Page Pioneer: Marie Anderson And Her Influence At The Miami Herald And Beyond, Kimberly Wilmot Voss
A Women's Page Pioneer: Marie Anderson And Her Influence At The Miami Herald And Beyond, Kimberly Wilmot Voss
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1971, when Miami feminist and National Organization for Women leader Roxcy Bolton submitted a list of women qualified for political office in Florida, she naturally included the name of Miami Herald women's page editor, Marie Anderson.1 After all, Anderson had spent the past two decades laying the groundwork for the feminist movement by covering gender discrimination and inequities in the Miami area and fighting for women in the journalism profession. Bolton, who had launched a successful 1969 challenge to the Miami practice of maintaining separate "men only" sections in downtown restaurants,2 said of Anderson: "She made a difference. Womenkind …
A Plague In Paradise: Public Health And Public Relations During The 1962 Encephalitis Epidemic In St. Petersburg, Florida, Eric Jarvis
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the months of August and September of 1962 the city of St. Petersburg, Florida, experienced an outbreak of St. Louis encephalitis. The United States Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta soon labeled the outbreak a "major epidemic" as it spread into nearly all areas of surrounding Pinellas County. The first case of the disease was reported on July 24 and the outbreak was not officially considered to have ended until September 28. During that time the various public health agencies and the press reported between 140 and 190 cases. Initially reports claimed that fourteen people had died of encephalitis,1 although …

Fish On: Pensacola's Red Snapper Fishery, Jason T. Paupp
Fish On: Pensacola's Red Snapper Fishery, Jason T. Paupp
Florida Historical Quarterly
In an article he wrote in 1942 for The American Neptune Fred Hunt remembered fishing the Campeche Bank of the northern coast of the Yucatan in the "late 'teens" when the Pensacola red snapper fleet was "the only big American deep-sea fishing fleet using all-sail vessels exclusively." Though he admitted the fleet was perhaps not as picturesque as it seemed to him at his "meeting salt water for the first time," the Alabama native penned a colorful tale of the men who plied the waters of the Gulf and drank away their pay in the bars and saloons of Pensacola. …
The Women Of The Early Florida Audubon Society: Agents Of History In The Fight To Save State Birds, Leslie Kemp Poole
The Women Of The Early Florida Audubon Society: Agents Of History In The Fight To Save State Birds, Leslie Kemp Poole
Florida Historical Quarterly
Reflecting back on the first 25 years of the Florida Audubon Society, President Hiram Byrd described its early founders "a little group of people who had a vision for the future." In particular, Byrd noted that Clara Dommerich, at whose home the first meeting was held in 1900, was "probably the leading spirit in the movement, but as so frequently happens in this world of affairs, the hand that presses the button is not seen."1
George Mathews And John Mckee: Revolutionizing East Florida, Mobile, And Pensacola In 1812, J. C. A. Stagg
George Mathews And John Mckee: Revolutionizing East Florida, Mobile, And Pensacola In 1812, J. C. A. Stagg
Florida Historical Quarterly
It has become conventional to regard the East Florida revolution of 1812 as a singularly colorful and controversial episode in the history of the early republic. Its colorful aspects have lent themselves to the writing of fast-paced narratives that make for good reading because its organizers-United States government agents George Mathews and John McKee-brought to the performance of their duties roughly equal proportions of outright illegality, low intrigue, and not a little incompetence. The revolution they staged has always been controversial because it has been difficult to escape the conclusion that it embodied the desire of the administration of James …

Documents: Andrew Atkinson Humphreys' Seminole War Field Journal, Matthew T. Pearcy
Florida Historical Quarterly
Andrew Atkinson Humphreys (1810-1883) was born into a prominent Philadelphia family of Quaker origin. His grandfather, Joshua Humphreys, a distinguished naval architect later known as the "Father of the American Navy," served as chief naval constructor (1794-1801) and designed the first U.S. warships, including the Constitution ("Old Ironsides") and her five sister ships.
Henry S. Harmon: Pioneer African American Attorney In Reconstruction-Era Florida, Darius J. Young
Henry S. Harmon: Pioneer African American Attorney In Reconstruction-Era Florida, Darius J. Young
Florida Historical Quarterly
The civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth century highlighted the key role played by African American attorneys in events of critical importance, but the actions and impact of black lawyers during and immediately following the Reconstruction era have received considerably less attention. As recently as 2000, the Florida Bar Journal asserted that "African-Americans ha[ve] been lawyers since the late 1890s, when the multi-talented James Weldon Johnson passed an open exam conducted by three lawyers in a crowded Jacksonville courtroom." As it happens, the Bar Journal erred by a generation in its assertion; black attorneys had practiced law since 1869 when …

Confronting A "Climate Of Raucous And Carnival Invasion": The Aauw Takes On The Johns Committee, Larem Graves
Florida Historical Quarterly
What happens to the pursuit of truth and the advancement of learning in such an atmosphere as the heresy hunters and thought controllers have created in parts of the South can only be conjectured,"1 historian C. Vann Woodward wondered in his essay on "The Unreported Crisis in the Southern Colleges," published in 1962-the same year that members of the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee (FLIC) descended on the University of South Florida (USF). The Committee had come to Tampa to investigate reports of communism, homosexuality, obscenity in course materials, and professors' alleged attacks on students' religious beliefs. This emboldened advance carried …
