Reconstruction Summary In his 1895 "Atlanta Compromise" Washington urged whites to assist blacks in advancing themselves. The Compromise of 1877 came about in a manner similar to that of most political compromises in American history: it left all parties at least partially unsatisfyed; it was messy; and the closer one looks into it, the uglier it becomes. The irony of the situation is the President Hayes was probably prepared to do those things in any case; but the Compromise of a 1877 that ended Reconstruction was accepted. www.sagehistory.net /reconstruction/recon.html   (5310 words)

Georgia passenger rail funding in budget The compromise budget that could emerge from a conference committee as early as today is expected to include planning money for the following inter-city routes: Atlanta to Macon; Macon to Savannah, Jesup and Waycross; Atlanta to Augusta, Atlanta to Columbus and Atlanta to Chattanooga. Funding for a commuter rail line linking Atlanta and Athens is contained in another portion of the mid-year budget, which will run through June 30. While it would appear that the House has been more aggressive in moving forward with passenger rail than the Senate, the proposed compromise demonstrates that the project also enjoys favor among senators, said Alan Yorker, president of the Georgia Association of Railroad Passengers. www.ble.org /pr/archive/headline030100e.html   (322 words)

African-American Experience--Atlanta: A National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary At the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition, Tuskegee Institute founder and principal Booker T.

American Writers: Booker T. Washington & W.E.B. Du Bois His "Atlanta Compromise" was sharply criticized by other black leaders—including W. du Bois, who would become Washington's great intellectual opponent—though many blacks and most whites supported his views. In a speech in Atlanta in 1895, he stated his conviction that blacks could best gain equality in America by improving their economic situation through education—particularly industrial training—rather than by demanding equal rights. Washington's many books included the autobiographical Up From Slavery (1901), Tuskegee and Its People (1905), The Life of Frederick Douglass (1907), The Story of the Negro (1909), and My Larger Education (1911). www.americanwriters.org /writers/washington.asp   (594 words)

The Henry L. Stimson Center - Smallpox---CBW Chronicle, Volume II, Issue 6 (August 1999) Following in the footsteps of a report issued by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, the White House asserted that incinerating the samples as scheduled on 30 June 1999 could compromise efforts to develop antiviral drugs as well as new vaccine options. Additionally, the White House statement noted collective doubt among experts that the two remaining samples in Atlanta and Koltsovo represent the world’s final stashes of smallpox.
