Abstract/Description
-
Black women have contributed greatly to the healthcare needs of the United States. Women have acted in the capacity of nurses and doctors, caring for and healing people. The many black women currently in the nursing profession and the increase in black women physicians speak to this fact. Unfortunately, the lack of work on the subject shows that most scholars are not aware of this reality. This study, which focuses on the state of Florida, tells the story of the first black female physician,...
Show moreBlack women have contributed greatly to the healthcare needs of the United States. Women have acted in the capacity of nurses and doctors, caring for and healing people. The many black women currently in the nursing profession and the increase in black women physicians speak to this fact. Unfortunately, the lack of work on the subject shows that most scholars are not aware of this reality. This study, which focuses on the state of Florida, tells the story of the first black female physician, the first black female registered nurse, and the first nurse training program for blacks in the state. This study hopes to show that these black female healthcare pioneers and the healthcare institution played an integral role in the growth and welfare of black citizens and thus the development of the United States. Their work needs to be recognized because they took on a responsibility in a hostile environment created and sustained by the United States, but ultimately overcame obstacles nonetheless and made a lasting impact on the people and time in which they lived.

Determination of historic geochemistry and tropic alternations of Apalachicola, FL.

Abstract/Description
-
Land use changes are shown to alter the balance of sources and sinks of coastal systems and these alterations are often preserved in the sediment records. In the Apalachicola Bay, productivity has been dependent on freshwater discharge from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin. Alterations to ACF watershed flow by diversions constructed since the 1950s and localized disturbances (i.e., dredging, urbanization) threaten the productivity of the bay. Historic water quality data...
Show moreLand use changes are shown to alter the balance of sources and sinks of coastal systems and these alterations are often preserved in the sediment records. In the Apalachicola Bay, productivity has been dependent on freshwater discharge from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin. Alterations to ACF watershed flow by diversions constructed since the 1950s and localized disturbances (i.e., dredging, urbanization) threaten the productivity of the bay. Historic water quality data indicates that salinity has increased by ~40% bay-wide. The first objective of this research was to test the hypothesis that profiles for C, N, and P concentrations and 813C and SISN stable isotopic signatures could be applied to benchmark historic natural and anthropogenic activity with in the bay. The second objective was to test the hypothesis that historic nutrient data from cores could be used to assess bay wide productivity, based on phytoplankton biomass, using niche modeling techniques. Our approach to evaluate the first hypothesis was 1) compare historic (past 50 years) river discharge patterns and mass sedimentation rates to C, N, and P concentration and 513 C and ESISN stable isotopic profiles at the river mouth; 2) differentiate between riverine organic matter (OM) and re-suspended OM depositions

Abstract/Description
-
A double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation survey was administered to 2,000 residents of Franklin and Gulf Counties, Florida, with the objective of documenting any bias as a result of the institutional basis in the hypothetical payment vehicle. The mean willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for state and private payment vehicles are $4.39 and $5.08 per month respectively, significantly different at the 0.15 level. This is evidence of the importance in choosing the institutional...
Show moreA double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation survey was administered to 2,000 residents of Franklin and Gulf Counties, Florida, with the objective of documenting any bias as a result of the institutional basis in the hypothetical payment vehicle. The mean willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for state and private payment vehicles are $4.39 and $5.08 per month respectively, significantly different at the 0.15 level. This is evidence of the importance in choosing the institutional foundation for the payment vehicle. The major determinants of WTP appear to be education, perception of existing water quality and the attitudes of respondents towards the environment. However, WTP responses may vary temporally and spatially with differences in demographics and goods and services valued.

Show moreThis study specifically aims to illuminate the black attorneys’ experience in post—Civil War Florida by focusing on the complex careers of four black lawyers who began their careers during Reconstruction. The discussion will familiarize the reader with the immense obstacles that deterred African American attorneys from gaining prominence and the struggles endured by black lawyers throughout the South. As true regionally, the majority of Florida's legal professionals could not afford to practice law exclusively and had to pursue other careers as their main source of income. Politics often emerged as the career of choice for black lawyers. As public figures these men accomplished remarkable feats and flourished as leaders of the black community.8 This essay, in a larger sense, attempts to provide fresh and helpful information concerning the black 7 See generally, Foner, Freedom ’s Lawmakers; Brown, Florida ’s ‘Black Public Oflicialsg Richardson, Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida. 8 See generally, Richardson, The Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida; Woodson, The Negro Professional and the Community; Ward, Black Physicians in the Jim Crow South; Shofner, Nor Is It Over Yet.
