David A. Talbot, Oral History Transcript
No full textThis is a transcript of oral history interviews with David Arlington Talbot. They were conducted in January and February 1978. The interviewer is Dr. Dennis Peck.
This series of three interviews covers a wide range of topics including biographical information, family, education, race, colonialism, human rights, and his time at East Texas State University.
David Arlington Talbot was born in British Guyana, now Guyana, in 1916. His experiences living under the colonial rule of the British Empire affected his life and education. He moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1935 where he experienced the harshness of Jim Crow Laws. During World War II, he served in the United States Armed Forces, which opened up an avenue to U.S. citizenship for Talbot. Following the war, Talbot continued to pursue a career in education. He served at a small college in Arkansas where he climbed the ranks of administration.
Talbot visited the East Texas State University (ETSU) campus in 1968 with his son who was deciding where to attend college. The university president at the time, Daniel Whitney Halladay, was a former colleague of Talbot. Halladay offered Talbot a position at the university in an effort to integrate the ETSU faculty. Talbot became the first Black faculty member in 1968. He worked as the Director of the Counseling Center, a professor in the Department of Counseling and Guidance, and special assistant to the president for affirmative action. Talbot and others worked to create social change on the ETSU campus.
Talbot retired in 1987 and, in 2017, Texas A&M University-Commerce renamed the Hall of Languages in his honor.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-oral-history-all/1000/thumbnail.jp
History of the steel industry in the Port Talbot Area 1900-1988
No full textThis thesis examines the history of steelmaking at Port Talbot in South Wales from the start of modern steelmaking in 1902 to 1988. Although the British steel industry has been studied at national level, few studies have looked at company level and fewer on plant level studies. By studying this large and significant steelmaking site this thesis sheds light on the interaction between national constraints and local forces for change or inertia and on the interaction of plant management, industry leadership and national Government policies. A number of themes are examined including issues of locational inertia and change; technological innovation and choice; relationships to, and changes in markets; products and demand levels; the role of the state; and issues of decision making. The later includes managers, management structure, conflict among managers, corporate rivalries, relationships with banks and Government, and within nationalised industries.
The thesis covers the origins of modern steelmaking at Port Talbot in the 1900s, its expansion and integration with iron making during World War One. It looks at Port Talbot within the framework of heavy steel rationalisation in the 1920s and the inconclusive manoeuvrings to build a strip mill in the 1930s. After World Ward Two Port Talbot emerged as Britain’s leading strip mill through a complex interplay of technological and locational choices including Government pressure and corporate rivalries. The boom years of the 1950s were followed by consolidation and modernisation in the 1960s through the Government inspired over expansion of the strip mill sector. After re-nationalisation in 1967 Port Talbot became involved in internal struggles with rival strip mills over investment. At each stage the thesis uses the detailed local adaptation and innovation within that context.
The thesis draws on extensive primary sources including the National Archives, Government Reports and documents, company records, Bank of England papers, trade papers, technical journals, trade union papers and local newspapers. The secondary literature on the steel industry is discussed and revised where appropriate and this study adds a full-scale plant level industrial history of one of the most important British steelworks to this literature
