"Not A Single Battle But Rather A Real War": The Fight To Equalize Teachers' Salaries In Florida In The 1930s And 1940s, Caroline Emmons
Florida Historical Quarterly
Segregation had many faces in th South prior to the 1960s, but perhaps most familiar were the separate school systems for black and white children. The 1954 Brown v. the Board of Education decision, the landmark ruling that prohibited segregated schools, galvanized the civil rights movement and signaled the end of the South's racial caste system. Before the Brown fight was engaged or even fully conceived, however, efforts to equalize black and white teacher's salarie in the South laid the groundwork for a direct attack on school segregation. Florida was at the center of the pay equity battle. Between the …

"Set A Light In A Dark Place": Teachers Of Freedmen In Florida, 1864-1874, Laura Wallis Wakefield
"Set A Light In A Dark Place": Teachers Of Freedmen In Florida, 1864-1874, Laura Wallis Wakefield
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the Civil War came to a close and Reconstrution began, a small army of teachers arrived in Florida. Under the auspices of northern aid societies and educational associations, they proposed to teach emancipated slaves. Most did not have a problem motivating their students: many blacks recognized the symbolic and practical significance of literacy. Still, the teachers faced other challenges. Most had been fierce abolitionists. Their idealism had set them apart even from the mainstream of northern society and, combined with their collective identity as "Yankees," immediately put than at odds with Florida's white population. Consequently, violent resistance arose to …

Historic Notes And Documents: Judge Henry D. Clayton And "A Klansman": A Revealing Exchange Of Views, Paul M. Pruitt, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the afternoon of June 16, 1922, Alabama federal judge Henry Clayton addressed the Florida State Bar Association in Orlando.1 Invited at the last minute, Clayton had been in Jacksonville, holding court by special assignment.2 He knew many Florida lawyers--no doubt including Armsted Brown, an Alabama transplant who would be elected president of the Florida Bar that year.3 He was well accustomed to addressing such meetings, usually speaking on technical issues of law or legislation, and so he had accepted the invitation. But this time he had something broader on his mind.4

There wasn't much to Seagrove Beach the first time I saw it. I'm not even sure how my Grandmother found out it was there. Maybe she heard through friends who were part of the "Dixie Art Colony" that briefly met in the old hotel back in the 1930s. But the Depression ruined the colony, the hotel was torn down, and by the time my family rolled in that summer of 1954, a little store, a cluster of tourist cottages, and a few houses were all there was.

The Icelandic Man Cometh: North Dakota State Attorney Gudmunder Grimson And A Reassessment Of The Martin Tabert Case, Vivien E. Miller
Florida Historical Quarterly
In February 1922, after receiving a severe flogging from a whipping boss, a young white man from North Dakota died in a convict labor camp in Dixie County, Florida. The victim was Martin Tabert, and the circumstances of his death brought national scrutiny and condemnation of Florida's penal practices, forcing legislators to approve far-reaching penal reform . Historians N. Gordon Carper and Jerrell H. Shofner have addressed Martin Tabert's death and its legacy in earlier volumes of the Florida Historical Quarterly. Carper admirably reconstructed the story of Martin Tabert's untimely death from the Samuel D. McCoy Papers located in the …

Booker T. Washington's Tour Of The Sunshine State, March 1912, David H. Jackson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Booker T. Washington, the preeminent African-American leader of his day, won followers and supporters by taking "educational tours" through Southern states. Traveling through Arkansas and the Oklahoma and Indian territories in 1905 won him much support for his agenda. His most successful tour, however, was through Mississippi in 1908, directed Charles Banks, setting the standard for subsequent tours. On his Mississippi trip, Washington spoke to an estimated forty thousand to eighty thousand people. Over the years, he spoke to well over 350,000 black and white people through these campaigns. Indeed, they were his means to "meet the masses of my …

Unlike the rest of the American South, Florida's tropical climates have made back porches less than ideal places to cool off, watch the world, and talk thing over. Heat, humidity, and mosquitoes force Floridian indoors. So, homes across the Sunshine State have Florida Rooms, enclosed patios with large windows that allow unobstructed views of the landscape. The Florida Room is both inside and outside, signifying leisured enjoyment of the outdoor whil protecting from its impositions. In 1985, during Governor Bob Graham's administration, even the open brick patio on the governor's mansion became a Florida Room: two walls of glass allow …

Florida's Forgotten Ethnic Culture: Patterns Of Canadian Immigration, Tourism, And Investment Since 1920, Eric Jarvis
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since the 1920s, Florida has been an important factor in the lives of many Canadians who either traveled ot the state as tourists, became short of long term residents, or invested in its land and businesses. As a result, a close and involved interrelationship has developed between the culture and people of the northern country and that of the souther state. Different in type from either overseas or nothern American visitors and investors, Canadians have provent to be a significant but often overlooked ethnic culture in Florida, providing demographic diversity and financial support while at the same time creating a …

I remember the 1920s when you could rent an apartment on Atlantic Avenue along the ocean for $25 a week and store clerks with salaries of $8 a week could afford to send their families to the beach in the summer for an annual vacation," John Paul Jones, editor of Florida Living, wrote in 1993; "Summertime was Daytona Beach's big season when the boardwalk was going full blast, day and night. Children and young couples had a safe, healthy place to laugh and play-much like Coney Island."1 Indeed, early-twentieth-century Daytona Beach took several strategic steps which would position it alongside …

In 1599, Garcilaso de la Vega published his account of Hernando de Soto's journey through what is today the southeastern United State. Based on th author's romantie perceptions of North America and dubious evidence provided by expedition members, the work's factual validity is questionable in many regards.1 Nevertheless, Garcilaso's interpretation provides valuable information pertaining to the imagee of the Florida created and perpetuated by European visitors during the sixteenth century.2 In particular, one passage attributed to Hernando de Soto encapsulated general colonist opinions regarding native peoples. The explorer concluded that "all of the land of this realm is practically identical …

Legacy To The People: The Civic Origins Of The Orange County Regional History Center, Bob Beatty
Legacy To The People: The Civic Origins Of The Orange County Regional History Center, Bob Beatty
Florida Historical Quarterly
On September 29, 2000, history will change forever," proclaimed the Orange County Historical Society at the grand opening of the 35 million Orange County Regional History Center.1 History in Orange County had indeed changed forever. Over a half century, the museum (and the commission and society that shaped it) struggled for legitimacy, particularly in finding an appropriate home. Prior to opening the Regional History Center in the 1927 Orange County Courthouse, the museu. hosted exhibits in five different locations. But its current address in the restored Courthouse is particularly appropriate and in a sense represents a closing of a circle: …

Disney's Celebration, The Promise Of New Urbanism, And The Portents Of Homogeneity, Hugh E. Bartling
Florida Historical Quarterly
Perhaps the most important demographic and social transformation that has occurred in the United States in the past fifty years has been mass suburbanization. As some of the more astute commentators on suburban development have argued, these shifts in population have been accompanied by political and social changes, utterly reconfiguring the nature of civic interaction in the country. Government subsidized loans for white middle-class home buyer transformed the uburban landscape and provided the impetus for the construction of a very different lived environment than had heretofore existed.1 The post-World War II suburb was arranged around the single-family home, transportation by …

In Search Of Community: Historic Preservation And The Quest To Recover Fort Gatlin, Scott Eidson
Florida Historical Quarterly
In a city dominated by large numbers of transplant residents, very few citizens of Orlando know or care about the area's rich and colorful history or its historical figures. Local history is not taught in the Orange County schools "unless a teacher has a particular interest in the subject and makes a special effort."1 Recently, efforts have been made to curb this trend. In 1997, a small organization known as the Fort Gatlin Historical Group sought to trace Orlando's origins through a community-wide effort to preserve the presumed site of Fort Gatlin, a United States Army fort of the Second …

In 2002, the Florida Historical Society mark its centenary. Organized on 26 November 1902 and chartered three years later, the Society was the successor to the Historical Society of Florida, formed in 1856. According to its charter, the Society's mission was twofold: "the collection arrangement and preservation of all material pertaining to the history of, or in any manner illustrative of Florida, . .. [and to] prepare, edit and publish articles, sketches, biographies, pamphlets, books and documents, descriptive or illustrative of Florida."1 To fulfill the second objective, the Society initiated the Publication of the Florida Historical Society in April 1908, …

Florida's Big Bang represents an astonishing and complex story, a state swelling from 2.7 million inhabitannts in 1950 to 16 million only fifty years later. Demographically, Florida's tranformation is nothing short of revolutionary. On the eve of World War II Florida's population of l.9 million ranked twenty-seventh nationally and last in the South, trailing even lowly South Carolina and Arkansas. America's twentieth most populous state in 1950, Florida has vaulted to America's fourth largest in 2000, and stands poised to overtake New York. Like shifting tectonic plates, the post-World War II decade witnessed one of the great population shift in …

The Salesman And His Swamp: Dick Pope's Cypress Gardens, Stephen E. Branch
Florida Historical Quarterly
In a 1922 article summarizing his family's entrepreneurial success, Edward F. Tilyou was sanguine in his assertion that "those of us in the amusement business have studied your psychology and tried to build our business on a few simple fundamental."1 Indeed, the Tilyou family was renowned for its ability to both anticipate and manipulate the entertainment seeking public. Whether manifested in their operations at Coney Island or Atlantic City, the Tilyous' popular culture acumen was effectively intertwined with the entertainment hucksterism pioneered by P.T. Barnum. And while the specific "fundamentals" of the amusement business necessarily evolve over time, understanding the …
