Selected documents pertaining to blacks in Atlanta, 1850-1937, 1983
Get PDFThis dissertation covers the experiences of the black people of the Atlanta area over a period of eighty-seven years, based primarily on government documents such as acts and resolutions of the Georgia General Assembly; ordinances of the Atlanta City Council; cases of the Fulton County Superior Court, the Georgia Supreme Court and Appellate Court, and the United States Supreme Court; and official histories pertaining to Atlanta. Articles from selected newspapers of Atlanta, both black and white, and from some of the leading journals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are also included. In order to place the developments in Atlanta in their national historical context, an overview of some of the key issues and episodes that confronted the nation between 1850 and 1937 introduces the study. Each of the four chapters which follow consist of two parts: the first is a brief history of blacks in Atlanta during the period under discussion; and the second is a collection of documents supporting that history. Each document is preceded by a headnote that gives the essence of the document. Chapter I consists of documents that indicate the status of both slave and free blacks. Among the documents is one shows the resentment of white mechanics toward slave mechanics; another illustrates Georgia's determination to perpetuate slavery by denying slaveowners the privilege to free their slaves in their last will and testament. Chapter II covers the activities of black Atlantans during the Reconstruction era through 1895. Documents that highlight this period are those concerning the constitutional convention that show black men participating in the body politic of Georgia for the first time; the election of black men to the General Assembly; the removal and the reinstating of black assembly members; and finally, Booker T. Washington's famous 'Atlanta Compromise' speech. Chapter III contains the record of the plight of blacks in the Atlanta area from 1896 through 1914. During this period, Georgia's racists, led by Governor Hoke Smith and Senator Tom Watson, made an all-out effort to prevent black people from participating in the political process by denying them the right of suffrage. One of the worst riots in the history of the United States occurred during this era in 1906, a riot caused in part by the attempts of blacks to vote. The documents in this chapter are related to these events. Among the documents of the fourth and final chapter are those that show how black Atlantans worked together and succeeded in attaining the first black high school, and those concerning one of the most celebrated cases in the annals of American jurisprudence--the Angelo Herndon case. The appendix contains a list of the documents included in each chapter

The photolyses result in the formation of hydrazine when ammonia is added. Nitrene intermediates are implicated by the kinetic results. Photolyses were performed at 2+ 340 nm for [ (Nittet-b)^^] and quantum yields were determined for this wavelength. Photolyses were performed at 330 nm for [Ni(dmen)2(N^)2] and quantum yields were determined for this wavelength. The kinetics of the photochemical reactions have been studied and mechanisms have been proposed. The equilibrium constant for the 2+ dissociation of [(Ni(tet-b)N^)^1 in methanol has also been determined

No full textNationhood: a study of emigration in the 19th and 20th centuries, 1996
No full textBlack nationalism, often defined as self-determination of African American people within the framework of an independent nation-state, has existed from the moment Africans set foot on American soil. Leaders such as Paul Cuffee, Henry Highland Garnet, and Martin Delany showed great interest in the emigration of Blacks to Africa, or any Caribbean country where they could become an integral part of the social order, as early as 1814. More formalized plans for emigration were realized through organizations such as the American Colonization Society in 1817 and the Garvey movement of the 1920's. Africans in America who were interested in emigration saw it as a way of controlling their fate. They believed that Africa was the one place on earth where Blacks could build a nation of their own and escape American oppression
