Susie Dasher. This photo hung on the wall at Susie Dasher Elementary when it was operating on the south-side of Dublin, Ga. In the community of Johnson Homes. I attended this school, walking distance from 306-B, Johnson Homes. I vividly remember all of my elementary teachers; Mathis, Manning, Kitchen, Cruise and especially the ONLY white teacher that arrived in my 6th grade year; Brenda Brinson. She was a champion in making sure our class watched Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr historical mule-drawn funeral procession. The following was published in a blog. One hundred years ago, there were thirty three county schools for colored students. There were two line schools which were shared with adjoining counties. Of the thirty six teachers, thirteen were male and twenty three were female. There were eight assistants. The enrollment was 2,240 with an average daily attendance of slightly over thirteen hundred.
Due to a lack of taxpayer funding, most, if not all, of the schools were held in local churches. The schools of 1898 were : New Providence, Cave Springs, Green Hill, Donaldson, Sandy Ford, William's Chapel, Valdosta, Dexter, Garbutt, Rose Mount, Spring Hill, Montrose, Poplar Spring, Laurens Hill, Mount Pullen, Oaky Grove, Rocky Creek, Oconee, Brewton, Shewmake, Hickory Grove, St. James, Eason Hill, Buckeye, Holly Grove, Byrd Hill, Fleming Chapel and Holly Springs. Laurens County teachers a century ago included:, P.R. Butler, Mary Devise, Rosa Dasher, Nettie Freeman, Mamie Grant, Leila M. Grant, G.C. Grant, F.D. Griffin, J.S. Houston, Emma Hines, Charlotte Johnson, Sallie Kellum, C.E. Lewis, Virgil Lewis, W.L. Miller, Fannie Moore, Clara Moorman, Lucretia Neal, Dr. B.D. Perry, Lillie Walden, Mary M. Smith, Sarah Smith, H.L. Rozier, Flora Troup, Ella Troup, W.B. Troup, John Tucker, C.D. Wright, Ella White, and A.J. Harris. Dublin teachers were Isaac H. Hayes, Kate Dudley, and Theodocia Hinton. Enrollment in the city school was about eighty. These early scHools for Laurens County were pretty much like their white counterparts. Each school was understaffed and underfunded. The agricultural economy took precedence over school work. When the fields needed working, school was put off. During the first two decades of the 20th century, there was a major shift in the education of black Laurens County children. Illiteracy rates were cut dramatically. This progress was a direct result of the dedicated men and women who made it their life's mission to teach their children. Black History Month this year has been very interesting and #viral in matters related to dark skin.
Grammy's awarded for 12 Years a Slave was shared in a community forum; some comments were interesting and humourous. First, I acknowledge failing to do more research when I 'heard' one of Prince former drummer's died when actually "Drummer "Sheila E. tweeted about her sadness that her "friend in Christ" had died" Vanity, a former Prince collaborator and titular lead singer for the group Vanity 6, died on Monday after battling kidney failure. Social media lit up with tributes from friends and fellow celebrities like Sheila E, Solange Knowles, Questlove, and MC Hammer. Rest in Peace Denise "Vanity" Matthews Just six months ago, I attended Tom Joyner's #FLASHBACK annual music festival, just to see Shelia work her magic on the drums. I met new friends.
Everyday is a #lucky day, when the sunrise ~ we have been chosen to participate in another day.
On the 23rd of December, last year, I was inspired to write the following prose. First published in networking community AdlandPro. Happiness Happiness is one's mind over matter. One's mind being the individual, living among the living ... Matter is infinite from the point of an individual ... beyond Earth into the cosmos ... by Jan aka Jaz 23 DEC 2015 I am seeking to network with Weebly publishers; am looking forward to welcoming you. Jan aka JazLive Juba, in war-torn South Sudan. And these in-your-face symbols of wealth are sharply at odds with the official description of a country that, although oil-rich, is among the 25 economically weakest and least developed in the world.
