My intended audience is for those
students interested in a life of fashion. My grade levels will include those
students from high school onto college. I wanted to share a pathfinder where
students can reference back to fashion and all the concepts that feature into
it. Fashion has become a mainstream fixation like no other in the last couple
of years. Needless to say fashion has always been a stepping stone from people
around the world dating back before Christ. </div>

The task has been challenging with trying to work, complete other schoolwork, as well as finish up my internship hours at the African American Military History Museum. I officially have completed my paper to my advisor Dr. Teresa Welch at the University of Southern Mississippi. In my paper I discussed the development of the AAMHM as well as its past appearance as the Historic 6th Street USO Club. I also discussed the organizational structure of the museum and the commission in which the museum is associated with. The Hattiesburg Convention Commission funds the AAMHM as well as other tourist locations around Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Mrs. Cruthirds, museum curator as well as Ms. Latoya Norman, museum public relation associate along with Heather Sanchez, Divah Griffin, and Eddie work along with me at the museum . We all work closely together to keep the museum functioning properly and to guide tourist around the museum. The most exciting information I conducted while doing my paper was discussing the museum exhibits. I discussed the 11 different war exhibits within my paper from the Revolutionary War to the Global War on Terrorism today. The museum and I focused on the brave unnoticed figures of each war that American has played a role in from Buffalo Soldier's Cathy Williams to Ruth Bailey Earl to Ensign Jesse L. Brown to Private Milton Olive III along with many other military servicemen and women.<div>This paper I has shown me that it is so much history out in the world and I am just scratching the surface. Three specific individuals I noted above were some of the people in my own state of Mississippi I did not even know about that fought and gave their life to the war cause. Many of their service and sacrifice has gone unnoticed to the United States as well as the world, but the AAMHM has brought their untold stories to the light. This museum is such a inspiration to the life of the African American experience towards the Armed Forces. Many wars has taken place all over the world and I did not think it would or would not have been successful if it was not for the African American. One of my favorite quotes from the AAMHM I will share below is a true one. </div><div>"There has been no war fought by or within the United States in which African Americans did not participate." </div><div>-Unknown</div>slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-63279471063418815312011-04-15T10:05:00.000-07:002011-04-15T10:33:08.354-07:00New Harmonies Exhibit, Cataloging Book, & Visitor StatsThe AAMHM has been very busy this month with many projects and events. This month the museum as been working with other associates to unveil an exhibit that highlights the music experience in Hattiesburg. Mrs. Cruthirds the museum curator as well as Heather one of the research specialist at the museum have been over at the Train Depot for weeks now constructing the exhibit. Tomorrow is the unveiling of the museum and I will surely be there to see the finishing product.<br /><br />One tough task I have been managing to complete is the cataloging of books in the museum's library. The books are so delicate and fragile that I barely want to touch them to do my cataloging. Many of them are well preserved and in mint condition dating back to the late 1800s. I am trying to establish a system so the museum can know what materials and books they have in the library for future reference. Some of those books might be of historic value to the museum and they have yet to know. Plus the museum's library is off limits to the public; I thought this was something that they museum needs by it just getting established itself.<br /><br />I have been quite busy continuing to work on establishing a visitor statistic log for the museum. I have used Microsoft Excel to give me a detail account of how many visitors have came into the museum since it's opening in May 2009. This week I have completed this long task of visitor numbers by looking through months of visitor log-ins and calendar appointments. Since May 2009 to April 2011 the African American Military History Museum has seen over 11,000 visitors in city and beyond. I feel that is quite good for a museum that is coming upon its 2nd anniversary in May. I have update the Excel spreadsheet for the next two years with formulas to calculate monthly and yearly visitor numbers for the museum records.slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-60555367742061137172011-03-25T11:50:00.000-07:002011-03-25T12:20:02.213-07:00Cataloging Small Collections within the MuseumThis week I have started to cataloge a formatted list of small collections for the African American Military History Museum closed library. First the library was a small writing room for soldiers visiting the USO when they were off duty or in town. Later the small library was made formal to the public in the 1950s. This library came into existence because the Forrest County Public Library was segregated and did not allow African Americans to check out books, so a small library was started within the USO. <div>The small library has a very knowledgeable collections that it offered to the African American public who were interested in reading and research. Going through the collection I have found a variety of novels, cookbooks, academic literature, atlases, dictionaries, encyclopedias, magazines, poetry books, newspapers, and bibles. Majority of these books dated back to the late 1890s to the late 1950s, and some of them are in very good condition. Some of these items were donated to the library from the public and several were second hand books thrown out from the public library. Yet the USO made use of all these books and items in the 1950s and they still remain in the library to this day. Even though the library has not been in public use for awhile, the story of its existence and legacy remains in the USO.</div>slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-35687454692278044662011-03-10T13:57:00.000-08:002011-03-17T12:50:44.694-07:00Processing Historical Documents/Spring Break VolunteeringThis week has been a highlight for me because I learned how to process pictures, documents, and other historical data. I have been learning that as well as giving to the community of Hattiesburg. I am interning at the African American Military History Museum where they are covered by the Hattiesburg Convention Commission. I volunteered my time to help the Hattiesburg Convention Commission with their latest project the Hattiesburg Zoo. The convention commission as well as myself all help in the reconstruction of specific things in the zoo. <div>This was Spring Break for me and I am dedicating my time to the museum because this month is National Women's History Month. Mrs. Cruthirds along with the help of Heather, and I organized several top military officials that were women. Notable Hattiesburg natives are among the open collection display which includes Col. Shelia Varnado, Major Raylawni Branch, Ruth Bailey Earl, Valerie Easterling, Felicia Young, Ila Williams, and Nakita Adams. I respectfully acknowledge all these women for there bravery and courage in the U.S. Army.</div>slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-16002817118870260102011-02-19T08:27:00.000-08:002011-02-19T10:10:17.486-08:00Celebrating BLACKS in AVIATIONToday the African American Military History Museum is hosting a tribute to African American aviators. Also honoring the late Ensign Jesse Leroy Brown from Hattiesburg, MS and Mycel Scott from Clarksville ,Tennessee. Mr. Scott is a Navy aviator like Ensign Brown who admired the love for future flying and new one day that he would become an aviator pilot. <div><br /></div><div>This week for me has been a great archival experience dealing with preservation and uploading historical pics. Last Wednesday, Mrs. Cruthirds, Heather, and I travel down to the Eureka School to gather pictures and different memorabilia. We found plenty of material not only from Eureka School but the other Black schools around Hattiesburg including: Rowan High School, Royal Street High School, and N.R. Burger Middle School. Gathering these materials we found plenty of graduation class portraits, prom pictures, and programs from about 70 years ago. </div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday I had the great chance to meet to Hattiesburg's own aviator Jesse L. Brown's brother who came to view the updates at the AAMHM. We got a chance to talk about his views on seeing and honoring his brother at today's event.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div>slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-54366341281319695142011-02-11T07:01:00.000-08:002011-02-11T07:25:48.220-08:00The best of archiving informationThe best of the whole week was when I got to search for information to be archived for the new museum exhibit. Yesterday I helped the curator Mrs. Cruthirds search and gather information on the African American Military museum. A Forrest County native brought in a box of old interesting newspapers and books from the 1970s and 80s. We scattered the newspapers into a time and searched careful for African American military information. Yet we worked half of the day looking for information and we found nothing. I volunteer today and I will continue to look for information to archive.<br />Yesterday we also had a meeting about gathering, researching, and archiving information for th new Civil Rights Museum in Hattiesburg. The old Eureka School downtown near Mobile Street will be transformed into a Civil Rights museum. It will be one of the two museum is in the state of Mississippi dedicated to civil rights. I do not know the perspective date of the museum but Mrs. Cruthirds except it to be open at the end of 2012. It will be a total honor to help find information resulting to the cause of civil rights towards Hattiesburg. I hope to actually help set up museum displays for the future Civil Rights Museum at the Eureka School before I am finished with my practicum.slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-44146889473712166892011-02-04T06:21:00.001-08:002011-02-04T07:14:26.325-08:00Kicking off Black History MonthYesterday, the African American Military Museum kicked off Black History Month by honoring the African American Korean War Veterans. Each year the museum honors a group of military war era veterans to commentrate what a superb job these service men and women have done. Nearly thirty awards were passed out to veterans serving not only in the Korean War but other war stations areas around the world. All veterans that were honored yesterday are from the city of Hattiesburg and surrounding areas. Notable figures from our own Hattiesburg were honored or in attendance for the ceremony including Jesse L. Brown, Vernon Dahmer, George Williams, Frederick & Shelia Varnado, Mayor Johnny Dupree Ph.D, Hattiesburg Convention Committee, Brooke Cruthirds, curator, and many others.<br /><br />The ceremony was great and wonderful to see some many elderly men and women still active sharing in the dream of the military. Many shared the shared their experience and gave thanks to the AAMM for honoring them so many years later. After the ceremony was over many toured the museum to see the newly features that were installed while others chatted amongs their family and friends. We celebrate the event with lemon cider, shirley temples, and finger size sweets that all the people enjoyed. I really enjoyed myself and the experience I am having at the African American Military Museum the ceremony brung tears to my eyes because it remind me of my grandfather. My grandfather was not in the military but the cheerfulness and mindset of these elderly men and women brung joy and a smile to my face.slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-35255196501987260562011-01-27T13:10:00.000-08:002011-01-27T13:42:13.682-08:00Starting my Senior PracticumAlmost a year ago, I wrote a blog on the African American Military Museum in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Now I am currently working on my senior capstone at the same exact museum. Today is my second day at the AAMM and I am learning so much. Yesterday I learned the evenings procedures of how the museum operations and functions. I also tried to inform myself of the museum's history and notable servicemen and women I did not currently know.<br /><br />Visitors came much throughout my time in the museum here and I got to meet the previous museum director Mrs. Iola Williams. Mrs. Iola is the wife of a former military serviceman that serves on the Hattiesburg Convention Commission. The HCC heads the museum and other current projects around Hattiesburg's pine belt. She also has the museum's theater named in her honor.<br /><br />As I am starting my practicum at the museum I feel I will love volunteering my time to share in the great history of military service people. I am so excited about Black History Month approaching because I know the museum will have a variety of nationalities coming in to see and appreciate the bravery of African American soldiers.slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-20021123299845012872010-04-12T14:14:00.000-07:002011-02-04T07:16:12.381-08:00USM Centennial Celebration<div>March 30, 2010 was the 100th Anniversary for University of Southern Mississippi. I attended some of the day's events that were scheduled today. From the Centennial Gateway and time capsule to the Centennial Community Celebration picnic. I had so much fun at these events around campus. Even though I have not attended USM for more than a year it was so special to celebrate its 100th birthday. I have visited the Centennial museum that is placed in the Cook Library too. </div>slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-13709703017480444242010-02-18T11:30:00.000-08:002010-03-10T10:58:35.939-08:00African American Military MuseumI toured the <a href="http://www.hattiesburguso.com/">African American Military Museum</a> in Hattiesburg, MS today and it was great. This is my first time attending an African American museum in Mississippi. The museum was nothing I had expected. It was really informative about African Americans in the military. From the Spanish-American War on the the War on Terrorism today give insight on how African American soldiers. Many pictures, firgure displays, and machinery were displayed in the museum. Along with the museum there is a theater and outside memorial garden that is dedicated to the falling military people.<br />Even though many African Americans have not always be known as legal citizen in the U.S. they have always stood strong to fight for their country. People like Frederick Douglas, Colin Powell, Buffalo Soldiers, Jesse L. Brown, Ruth Bailey, and many unknown military people have featured information in the museum. Even Hattiesburg's own Brown and Bailey's biography are shared along with some pictures and clothing.<br />The museum was great and a wonderful addition to the African American accomplishment. I also took many pictures of various things inside the museum. There were also two history professors from the University of Southern Mississippi.slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-43112408681169344242010-02-11T11:47:00.000-08:002010-03-10T11:00:48.758-08:00Vicksburg Battlefield Museum<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiqsadGBtB4cNlzwzP3s-TLi1bdRA3mIFTej29xQfin008iI3zNzGRC3jAD_T7EG1fZJE9h6pQEH-wlzmOqoD5kwaSUFs_9aty00eEjG4o5MVC97ck4kg3Qn2DPFO1aY0PS4fuAlrhk2PI/s1600-h/war12.bmp"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUsbj2AF2svmVFaAhPTeQ_PunIdxVsQS8sKlmofg7tI-inra0IQuMEDDgNxAEV2qnlAwtmCXyeVxJU-CfIEydNOAom5qYhHyPvqXso8KVeigihSrr4zKRSSe1nfU3ZhqQdOQiY8ysyWO4/s1600-h/war13.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I had heard of the museum from my college years at Hinds Community College but I never visited it. From me being a history minor I had always known about the Civil War in the South be had not had a first experience of it. I went one Saturday afternoon with my mother to go shopping and I saw the museum sign exit. So we took the battlefield sign exit and started to drive through the museum. Reminding myself and tell you that this is not a REGULAR MUSEUM because you can walk or drive-thru the battlefield.<br />I saw so many different sculptures, signs, cannons, figures, and boat throughout the museum. Many sculptures were from various states that were either on the Confederate or Union side. Some were big in size while others were not; only mentioning the states' names. Driving through I notice the battelfield territory was might deep with slopes and rocks. I can imagine what it was like to try to pull or bring a cannon up those hills. Signs of different war activity between the Union and Confederate was posted on the roadside in the museum. Many cannons that are in the battlefield museum are the exact cannons fired during the Civil War. The figures of civil war soldiers both African and White Americans were displayed throughout the museum too.<br />As I thought I was coming to the end of the museum tour I saw an enormous white tent from off the hilltop. What I was seeing as my mother made her way down the hilltop was a boat skeleton? It was the U.S.S Cairo being preserved under a white tent and beyond it was a graveyard full of tombstones. The U.S.S. Cairo was a Union Navy ship constructed by James Eads. It was under contract with the U.S. Dept. of War and in command by naval Lieutenant James M. Prichett. The naval ship was active from February 17, 1862 to December 12, 1862. The U.S.S. Cairo was sunked on December 12, 1862 by an electrically detonated mine. And beyond the navy ship there is a military cemetery to honor the falling soldiers of the Civil War with the Emancipation Proclamation at the end of the cemetery road. This tour was a great one with many images and figures to have a first hand account of this historical experience!!!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-9153841192873428332010-02-02T11:58:00.000-08:002010-03-10T10:52:19.434-08:00**My cultural exhibit post**<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPuxMX-3IGLHDxNpqL_Grdp0ZTyYcG-5yVj8W6ENTVMN03oGlDjnS7lZWhIimhgbDvnzBFLx-PQReYozJzlZIQDUvgB6rrh0IcqNtrsDVQNTqWiP8G8zii-KeFDrMM-LjgIFxPwqsrspY/s1600-h/lg.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434471638050554594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPuxMX-3IGLHDxNpqL_Grdp0ZTyYcG-5yVj8W6ENTVMN03oGlDjnS7lZWhIimhgbDvnzBFLx-PQReYozJzlZIQDUvgB6rrh0IcqNtrsDVQNTqWiP8G8zii-KeFDrMM-LjgIFxPwqsrspY/s320/lg.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.lib.usm.edu/~degrum/">de Grummond Assignment </a><br /><br /><br />The de Grummond cultural exhibit is located here on the grounds of the University of Southern Mississippi. Most of the special collection is housed at the McCain Library and Archives also at the University of Southern Mississippi. It is one of the best children’s literature collections in the United States. The collection was founded by Dr. Lena Y. de Grummond in 1966. Lena de Grummond worked as a teacher here at the university and she was an admirer of children’s literature around the world. As a Library Science teacher, de Grummond focus on giving her students a first hand experience of how children’s literature could be expressed. According to the USM Website, “If students could study the creative processes of authors and illustrators by examining the manuscripts and illustrations first hand, she knew they would better appreciate the literature.”<br />The literature is that focused on by American and British children books, historical as well as modern pieces. Many of these books were requested by Dr. de Grummond to assemble a collection that would archive original materials of great children’s literature authors. According to the USM library Website, “The Collection holds the original manuscripts and illustrations of more than 1200 authors and illustrators, as well as 100,000+ published books dating from 1530 to the present.” The book holdings and exhibits for this collection are folklore and fairy tales, courtesy books, fables and tales, alphabets and nursery rhymes, primers and readers, grammars and schoolbooks, children’s Bibles and religious books, puzzles and riddles, sports and games, fantasy and fiction, almanacs, and science fiction. According to the USM library Website, “The de Grummond Collection was created to preserving the manuscripts and artwork of the creators of children's and young adult literature. These manuscripts, illustrations, galleys, dummies, correspondence, and fan mail document the entire creative process of this unique literature.”<br />Over 250 historical and modern magazines are also housed in the de Grummond collection. These periodicals date from 1788 to the present and are similar to that effect of the historical and modern book materials. The magazines include The Little Corporal, Little Folks, The Monthly Packet, Oliver Optic's Magazine, St. Nicholas, The Union Jack, Wide Awake, and Youth's Companion. All these magazines, manuscripts and artwork are found in the Cook Library and/or McCain Library and Archive for research and viewing. A virtual tour is also available for those who can not come to the university to explore it.</div>slatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-42099501786124440112009-06-24T06:40:00.001-07:002010-03-10T10:56:52.237-08:00MY FUTURE.....MUSEUM ARCHIVIST!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcsX9VFs5UofuPQpTOCmq_5W4SxucrXhsEkE_75uL5FQpMoO8eQ3BclPA1MFLT1H41OXlbr7YW_UOYmVnEeisFw7vXUlEcPOOiKcwtqOlzitL0ABlmSLe8NPYU3eGLGxXhawR2SYWUH9u/s1600-h/pic.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 160px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 105px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442266093632571522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcsX9VFs5UofuPQpTOCmq_5W4SxucrXhsEkE_75uL5FQpMoO8eQ3BclPA1MFLT1H41OXlbr7YW_UOYmVnEeisFw7vXUlEcPOOiKcwtqOlzitL0ABlmSLe8NPYU3eGLGxXhawR2SYWUH9u/s200/pic.jpg" /></a> I would love to work at the<a href="http://www.si.edu/"> Smithsonian </a><br /><br /><br />When I graduate I have a future dream of becoming a museum archivist. The definition of an archivist for those who do not know is "a person responsible for preserving, organizing, or servicing archival material.''-dictionary.com. I love history as well as organizing and perserving those documents and displays that our pass ancestors have let to show the future. From seeing the movies "Mummy Returns" and "National Treasure", I one day desire those roles that Evie and Abigail who apprepciated the interest in curating and perserving. According to the BLS website, "Archivists, curators, and museum technicians held about 27,000 jobs in 2006. About 38 percent were employed in museums, historical sites, and similar institutions, and 18 percent worked for State and private educational institutions, mainly college and university libraries." This is amazing that this field has a high level of interest to those people who love to connect closely with history!!!<br /><br />SLTslatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-46950922895151037802009-06-08T06:38:00.000-07:002009-06-08T07:00:44.606-07:00Hello again...<br /><br />This is sltaylor coming to let you guys know a little bit more about me. I am a Library and Information Science major with a minor in History. I was just a History major, but I decide that that was not my first love anymore. I now am totally interested in perservation and archival science within museums. The closest major to that catergory was library and information science. Today's topic discussion is about blogging on this website called blogger.com and it was a very easy setup and post publishing. SEE YOU NEXT TIME...<br /><br />SLTslatrisetaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01713980632247065438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027892600105302496.post-85945553105360482272009-06-08T06:21:00.000-07:002009-06-08T06:35:13.006-07:00Get to know sltaylorHello world,<br /><br />My name is Stefanie Taylor and I am a college junior at USM in Hattiesburg,MS.
