Laura Riding Jackson papers
No full textLaura Riding Jackson (1901-1991) was an American poet, critic, and editor. She was closely associated with the Fugitive group, a cluster of American Southern writers centered at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, which included John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, and Robert Penn Warren. She had a long partnership with Robert Graves; together they co-founded the Seizin Press, published several volumes of poetry, and co-edited the literary journal Epilogue. Jackson is generally acknowledged to have influenced the work of Graves, the New Zealand filmmaker Len Lye, and the writers James Reeves, Norman Cameron, T. S. Matthews, Jacob Bronowski, and W. H. Auden. The collection consists of correspondence between Jackson and Robert Nye, a British author, editor, and playwright, as well as manuscripts, newspaper and magazine clippings, and photographs. Subjects discussed include writers and writings, Martin Seymour-Smith, Robert Graves, and Nye

Stewball. Session IV, Walter Jackson
No full textThe Lomaxes, and other collectors of their time and also decades later, found some of the most powerful vernacular music of the American South in the region\u27s oppressive and violent prison system. The songs they found there, John and Alan Lomax wrote, \u27or songs like them were formerly sung all over the South. With the coming of the machines, however, the work gangs were broken up. The songs then followed group labor into its last retreat, the road gang and the penitentiary\u27 (Our singing country, 1941). Bruce Jackson, writing about prison song in the 1960s, explains \u27Southern agricultural penitentiaries were in many respects replicas of nineteenth-century plantations, where groups of slaves did arduous work by hand, supervised by white men with guns and constant threat of awful physical punishment. It is hardly surprising that the music of plantation culture, the work songs, went to the prisons as well\u27 (Big Brazos [Rounder 1826]). The tie-tamping and wood-cutting chants, field hollers, and the occasional blues, recorded by Alan Lomax on paper-backed tape at Mississippi\u27s Parchman Farm Penitentiary in 1947 and on February 9, 1948, were anthologized on Tradition in 1958 as Negro Prison Songs, and released in 1997 in two volumes of Prison Songs in the Alan Lomax Collection (Rounder 1714 and 1715)

Maynard Jackson Mayoral Administrative Records
No full textThe Maynard Jackson mayoral administrative records are extensive and consist of materials spanning the years 1968 to 1994. Within this digital collection are photographs, general correspondence, Mayoral campaign materials, and printed and published materials and correspondence related to the Atlanta Child Murders. The Atlanta Child Murders subseries in the Maynard Jackson Mayoral Administrative Records chronicles the time period between 1979-1981 when multiple young black children and adults were murdered in the city of Atlanta. The murders garnered national news coverage and caused panic across the country. The records in this digital collection reflect the response to the tragedy that were both created, collected and sent to the Atlanta Mayor's office during Maynard Jackson's second mayoral term.

Integrating the ideas of life course across cellular, individual, and population levels in cancer causation
No full textCells, individuals, and societies are complex systems in which the integrity of structure and function is protected through tight regulation and control. For each level of organization, health represents the ability to maintain integrity in response to the wider environment. Critical stages during growth and development act as checkpoints, where choice is exercised, and help determine future direction. Important among factors influencing the checkpoints include the availability of nutrients or foods within the immediate environment. At the cellular and whole-body levels, this information can be communicated to future generations. Recent work on the developmental origins of adult disease indicate specific factors that set limits on structure and function and potentially limit the capacity of the cell and individual to respond to environmental stressors that represent potential risk factors for neoplastic change. Epigenetic mechanisms modulate structure and function at the cellular and tissue levels, reflecting the potential for the growth and development of individuals, and reflect the food and nutrients available to the body as a whole and within the wider society. Understanding the nature and the interaction of the critical factors that determine and regulate variable stable and unstable gene expression will be increasingly important in characterizing abnormal cellular function and risk of disease for individuals and populations. This will require the ability to synthesize large data sets within and between different levels of organization to develop and refine a deeper understanding of how the systems are effectively integrated and regulated within and across generations and where this fails in the genesis of cancer
