WV partners with LG Electronics to bring more jobs to #YesWV…on today's daily304. #1 – From WVU – To properly maintain and care for West Virginia's diverse landscape, the state needs highly skilled people who are prepared for urban and community forestry careers to improve and maintain the health of trees and green spaces.   A partnership between West Virginia University and West Liberty University, in cooperation with several local organizations, has been awarded a $1.5 million grant to support urban forest planning, management and job training in Wheeling. This grant comes from the USDA Forest Service's Urban and Community Forestry Program.   “There is a high need for climbing arborists, and there is not much training outside of a four-year degree for this profession,” Karen Cox, WVU Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources agent in Ohio County and principal investigator on the grant, said. “This program will create jobs and skilled workers to maintain utility lines, restore power after storms and right-of-ways and improve the care of trees.”  Read more: https://extension.wvu.edu/news/2023/12/11/wvu-extension-west-liberty-university-receive-grant-to-train-low-income-residents-for-tree-careers   #2 – From WV NEWS – West Virginia's Department of Tourism is putting a $5.1 million grant to good use. The money will help create new jobs and support the 53,000 jobs that currently exist in the tourism industry. The U.S. Economic Development Administration provided the grant. The plan is to use the money to support different projects throughout West Virginia. The grant has already funded programs in K-12 schools across all 55 counties in West Virginia. These programs focus on tourism and hospitality. Various educational and economic departments joined forces to make this possible. Last year, the department started a new initiative named Tourism Works. The goal is to prepare for an expected increase of over 21,000 tourism jobs annually by 2025.

On this week's Scotland Outdoors podcast Mark finds out about a project called Light is a Right – How to Winter Well. Glasgow University researchers have been looking into different things that might help us cope with the long, dark winter days. They explain to Mark what's been involved in their research. Rachel is in Ayrshire meeting the Wednesday Weekday Volunteers who are always happy to roll their sleeves up and get to work at the Gailes Marsh Nature Reserve near Irvine. Wildlife photographer John Speirs shows Mark that you don't have to venture far away from the busy streets of Oban to spot some interesting bird and wildlife. Kayaker Nick Ray hit the headlines earlier this year when he completed his yearlong paddle around the coast of Scotland. Nick's appeared on Out of Doors quite a few times in the past to tell us about his kayaking adventures as well as his struggles with his mental health. Mark caught up with him on Mull, where he lives, to find out what he's been up to since he finished his challenge and what's on the cards for the future. A few weeks ago, a team of volunteers, including staff from the British Trust for Ornithology, headed up Schiehallion under the cover of darkness to try and ring ptarmigan. We're joined live by Anthony Wetherhill who was part of the team to tell us more about these elusive birds. In 2021, Alex Moran and Mike Coppock completed the first ever non-stop Island Munros Triathlon. Rachel met up with Alex to find out what was involved in the challenge and how long it took them to complete. Rachels meets the Wobbly Cyclist, Karen Cox, who has been able to once again enjoy cycling after getting an e-bike. She tells Rachel about the importance of e-bikes in making the outdoors accessible to those with mobility issues. And following on from the recent storms, Mark heads to the coast to investigate the strange phenomenon of sea foam.

Karen Cox scirbbled a little book she calls THE history of Confederate monuments last year. It isn't. It reads and is written like an activist polemic, which is what she intended. Some of her arguments have no documented evidence. This is par for the course for the modern historical "profession." https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/support

With the trial for the three White men charged with killing Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery now underway in Glynn County, Georgia, it seems like a good time to get a little historical perspective and find out what a murder case in 1930s Mississippi reveals about race relations, criminal justice, and life in the Jim Crow South. So today, from the archives of the Working History podcast, Karen Cox, Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, discusses her book, Goat Castle: A True Story of Murder, Race, and the Gothic South, and its tale of a toxic stew of white privilege, racism, and rage.   As Cox says, “This story offers us a window into how the criminalization of black lives emerged as a means of sustaining white supremacy and control over African Americans in the post-slavery period. It's why,” she says, “so many black southerners migrated out of the region to northern cities like Detroit and Chicago hoping for better—not that they found it. Racism followed African Americans wherever they went.” Just ask Ahmaud Arbery's family, nearly a century later.   And, on Labor History in 2:00: The year was 1945; that was the day that 320,000 United Auto Workers went out on strike against General Motors.

In our latest episode of the Active Outdoors podcast, Karen Cox is in conversation with John Davidson about her challenge to ride to the top of the 841m Ben Rinnes in Moray, despite suffering from a number of disabilities that make balance and muscle control difficult for her.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Karen Cox to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss what led her to write the book NO COMMON GROUND---and what conversations she hopes it sparks. 

When it comes to Confederate monuments, there is no common ground. Polarizing debates over their meaning have intensified into legislative maneuvering to preserve the statues, legal battles to remove them, and rowdy crowds taking matters into their own hands. These conflicts have raged for well over a century--but they've never been as intense as they are today. In "No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice," Karen L. Cox depicts what these statues meant to those who erected them and how a movement arose to force a reckoning.

On this week’s episode of Tying It Together With Tim Boyum, Tim talks with Dr. Karen Cox, a history professor at UNC Charlotte and author of the new book “No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Equality.” Cox, who has written several books on southern history, joins us to discuss events of the past year, the ongoing fight over statues and other monuments, and the Lost Cause vision.

The monuments to Confederate leaders are all about altering the realities of history to empower and enforce old mythic beliefs. They are there on courthouse lawns to remind black southerners of their place.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 75 °F already! Expect highs today in the 90s and Feels Likes near 100 °F. I think, if you can, stay inside until things cool off later this week.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 487 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 19 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 110 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 76, Henrico: 18, and Richmond: 16). Since this pandemic began, 198 people have died in the Richmond region. The number of reported new cases of the virus in Virginia are down, the number of deaths are down, and, slightly concerning, the number of reported testing encounters are down as well. As per always, I am not an epidemiologist, so I have no idea what the data portends, but I do know Virginia is still not meeting its goal of 10,000 tests per day (regardless of how you define “tests”). The seven-day average of new tests sits at around 8,600. I know percent positivity governs how we practically move back into the world, but, like, we still need to test a lot more folks, right? While we are in the “anyone who wants a test can get a test” phase, maybe the non-coronavirus related events of the last two weeks have prevented people from getting a test? Or at least knocked it down a few spots on their todo lists? I have no idea but will continue to update my sisyphean spreadsheet each day.On Friday, Richmond joins the rest of the Commonwealth and moves into the Governor’s Phase 2 of recovery. You can find all of the details of what that means for various industries and businesses over on the RVA Strong website. The short of it: Restaurants, breweries, gyms, salons, barbers, pools, and places of worship can all reopen with a bunch of restrictions—mostly limiting indoor occupancy to 50% capacity or less. Let the hangouts commence, I guess! Wash your hands, wear your masks, and keep two yard sticks between you and the person next to you. I’m incredibly interested in which businesses decide to open up, how it all works out, and what we’ll learn about how to function as City moving forward. I bet we’ll figure a bunch out in the next couple of weeks, and I’m perfectly happy to sit at home during that process.Yesterday, the Governor announced his phased reopening guidelines for schools which you can read here (PDF) or, not for the faint-of-heart, attempt to flip through the very intense Virginia Department of Education version here (PDF). Lately, I’m in a continual state of confusion about most things, so I’m thankful for Superintendent Kamras for explaining how these phases relate to the Governor’s other phases: “As you read through the reopening guidance, please note that the school reopening phases align to the business reopening phases. So when the City of Richmond moves into Phase II for restaurants and such, it will also move into Phase II for schools. Additionally, it’s important to note that the guidance lays out what is allowed under each phase, not what is required. That means we have some discretion in determining the pace of our reopening.” Phase Two for schools means summer camps, “limited in-person instruction to preschool through third grade and English Learner students,” socially-distanced extracurricular activities, and no-contact sports. Phase Three, which, I assume is the goal before the the school year starts in the fall, allows in-person instruction to all students but with a bunch of physical distancing measures. School will look different this coming year and us olds will be amazed at how quickly the kids get used to it.A quick Henrico police reform update: John Reid Blackwell, at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, says that Supervisor Nelson wants to create a community review board and wants the Board of Supervisors to discuss it by July. If you’re a Henrico resident, and you want to see meaningful police reform, now is the time to get involved!Last night protestors pulled down the Christopher Columbus statue in Byrd Park and dumped it in the paddle boat lake. These videos from @GoadGatsby, who seems to be everywhere at all times, made me feel feelings. After the statue found its new watery grave, an artist projected “THIS IS POWHATAN LAND” and “BLM” on the remaining plinth and surrounding wall." From /r/rva, check out this morning’s beautiful sunrise over the lake. Productive night for anti-racism in Richmond!Brad Kutner, from Courthouse News, says the deadline for submitting your paperwork to get on the ballot for City Council or School Board in Richmond, which was last night, has now been extended. Now folks have until June 23rd and only need 50 signatures from their Districts. This is something that Richmond For All sued to get changed and means the bar for someone getting on the ballot in Richmond is now incredibly low—especially as the City moves into Phase Two of recovery. 50 is very few people! You probably know 50 people within a five minute walk of wherever you’re sitting right now! Have you ever thought about running for Council or School Board? There has literally never been an easier time to see your name on the ballot. Of course, getting your name on the ballot is like the first, teeniest step in winning an election—but, you can’t win if you don’t play!I’m so stoked on Bike Walk RVA’s newest event, All Streets RVA, which aims to inventory all 1,900 miles of streets in Richmond. They’ve combined biking/walking/rolling, exploring the City, data collection, and mapping into the absolute perfect quarantine event for me, specifically. Here’s how it works: You go out into the world, observe the quality of the streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure around you, and then fill out a survey. That info then finds its way on to this map, and we end up with a great community-built resource for demanding better streets from our city leaders. It’s a great idea, and you should sign up and start mapping today.Superintendent Kamras reports another RPS COVID-19 case, this one at G. H. Reid Elementary on June 4th. You know the drill: If you happened by Reid you need to self-isolate for 14 days and call up the Richmond City Health District to get yourself tested (804.205.3501).The Richmond 300 summits continue with the Thriving Environment summit tonight at 6:00 PM. It’s free, but make sure you register on the Eventbrite. Also make sure you take the time to read Chapter 6 of the Richmond 300 draft plan (PDF) so you can come prepared with all of your smart thoughts.This morning’s patron longread7 things the United Daughters of the Confederacy might not want you to know about themSubmitted by Patron Kathleen. From a couple years ago, this piece in Salon will give you the necessary context for the work the United Daughters of the Confederacy has done across the country to spread the Lost Cause narrative.It’s helpful, in the midst of any conversation about this country’s Confederate monuments, to understand who put these things up, which also offers a clue as to why. In large part, the answer to the first question is the United Daughters of the Confederacy, a white Southern women’s “heritage” group founded in 1894. Starting 30 years after the Civil War, as historian Karen Cox notes in her 2003 book “Dixie’s Daughters,” “UDC members aspired to transform military defeat into a political and cultural victory, where states’ rights and white supremacy remained intact.” In other words, when the Civil War gave them lemons, the UDC made lemonade. Horribly bitter, super racist lemonade.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

At the end of the Episode 2, Karen Cox mentions that the boom in oil and gas extraction throughout the region has boosted land prices, creating challenges for new farmers in their search for land tenure. This episode picks up with Eric and Brianna Blend, who are experiencing this issue firsthand. For farmers like Eric Freeland and William Thiele, who inherited their farmland, concern lies instead with who will take over the farm, and the family legacy, after they retire.

This episode briefly explores some history of extractive industries in the region before expanding on the ways the oil and gas industry is affecting farmers. With WVU extension agent Karen Cox's overarching explanations as a backdrop, we hear from Eric Freeland and Mick Luber, two farmers who grew up in this area and have watched the impact of extractive industries unfold over their lifetimes.

Karen Cox, Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, discusses her new book, Goat Castle: A True Story of Murder, Race, and the Gothic South (University of North Carolina Press, 2017), and what one murder case in 1930s Mississippi reveals about race relations, criminal justice, and life in the Jim Crow South. In 1932, the city of Natchez, Mississippi, reckoned with an unexpected influx of journalists and tourists as the lurid story of a local murder was splashed across headlines nationwide. Two eccentrics, Richard Dana and Octavia Dockery—known in the press as the "Wild Man" and the "Goat Woman"—enlisted an African American man named George Pearls to rob their reclusive neighbor, Jennie Merrill, at her estate. During the attempted robbery, Merrill was shot and killed. The crime drew national coverage when it came to light that Dana and Dockery, the alleged murderers, shared their huge, decaying antebellum mansion with their goats and other livestock, which prompted journalists to call the estate "Goat Castle." Pearls was killed by an Arkansas policeman in an unrelated incident before he could face trial. However, as was all too typical in the Jim Crow South, the white community demanded "justice," and an innocent black woman named Emily Burns was ultimately sent to prison for the murder of Merrill. Dana and Dockery not only avoided punishment but also lived to profit from the notoriety of the murder by opening their derelict home to tourists. Strange, fascinating, and sobering, Goat Castle tells the story of this local feud, killing, investigation, and trial, showing how a true crime tale of fallen southern grandeur and murder obscured an all too familiar story of racial injustice. Beth A. English is director of the Liechtenstein Institute's Project on Gender in the Global Community at Princeton University. She also is a past president of the Southern Labor History Association.

It is my huge pleasure this week to interview Professor Karen Cox, Vice Chancellor of the University of Kent. Karen was born in Pudsey, West Yorkshire, and grew up in the Yorkshire Dales before going to university in London to study Nursing. She talks about her parents’ background, both of whom left school at 16 and were married at 18. Her father experienced redundancy and was involved in Trades Union activity. We discuss some of the generational differences in terms of career opportunities and how it wasn’t until Karen did her ‘A’ levels that university became an option. She talks about how she didn’t really know anyone who had even been to university and how she is fortunate that she has been able to do the things she did, but that sometimes they are shaped by serendipity. Karen has very strong early memories of Christmases including playing with boxes, and we learn that as a child she enjoyed ballet, wanting to be Margot Fonteyn, and tap dancing. She also played the trombone and loved horse riding. Musically, Karen used to love listening to and recording the charts on a Sunday, and we learn what the first record was that she ever bought. We then discover how she ended up pursuing a career in Nursing and who especially inspired her at university (specifically, her ‘nursing hero’) and we learn about the wider student society interests around nursing and medicine that she pursued. Karen talks about how at university the combination of theoretical, practical and pastoral-based elements made for an excellent experiential learning opportunity. The conversation then turns to how today’s politics is much more eclectic than it was when Karen was growing up in the 1970s, and we learn what her reaction was when she heard that Jim Callaghan had been defeated by Margaret Thatcher in the 1979 General Election. Karen also shares her radio passions as we learn which station she prefers to listen to and who her favourite presenter is, and why she considers radio to be ‘a security blanket’. In the final part of the interview Karen explains why she is more of an optimistic person and why her memories are predominantly positive ones. We also learn what she dreamed of doing career-wise when she was young, and how she still has dreams and takes comfort from thinking about what might be around the corner. Finally, we learn why Karen has been more in touch with old friends in the last 18 months than ever before and whether she is a looking back or a looking forward type of person. Please note: Opinions expressed are solely those of Chris Deacy and Karen Cox and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the University of Kent.

Karen Cox, Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, discusses her new book, Goat Castle: A True Story of Murder, Race, and the Gothic South, and what one murder case in 1930s Mississippi reveals about race relations, criminal justice, and life in the Jim Crow South.

Author Karen Cox talks about her New Book "Goat Castle"

This week I speak with historian Karen Cox, author of a new book titled: Goat Castle: A True Story of Murder, Race, and the Gothic South. It tells the incredible story of a murder that took place in Natchez, Mississippi in 1932. It’s a captivating tale in its own right, but as you’ll soon hear, the Goat Castle story reveals a great deal about the US in the early years of the Great Depression, everything from mass media and sensationalism, to Jim Crow racism and popular nostalgia for the Old South. Among the many things discussed in this episode:  What was the 1932 Goat Castle murder in Natchez, MS? How the 1932 Goat Castle murder reveals the injustice at the heart of Jim Crow. How white privilege and ties to the old planter aristocracy allowed two citizens of Natchez to get away with murder – and even profit from it. Why the 1932 Goat Castle murder in Natchez, MS captivated the nation. How modern media turned the 1932 Goat Castle murder in Natchez, MS into a national sensation. How nostalgia for the Old South remained strong in the 1930s.

This week we had the pleasure of talking to Karen Cox, a professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and author of Goat Castle: A True Story of Murder, Race, and the Gothic South. Cox talks about her book and her process for writing about a woman whose story was nearly hidden. In the Jim Crow south of the early 1930’s Natchez, Mississippi, Emily Burns was wrongly imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit while the likely murderers became celebrated southern eccentrics who opened their home to goats, chickens, and-- for a price-- tourists. About South is produced by Gina Caison, Kelly Vines, and Adjoa Danso. Lindsey Baker is our Marketing Director. Music is by Brian Horton. You can find his music at www.brianhorton.com.

In light of Charlottesville, Professor Karen joins me to discuss the role historians could play in the public discourse.

White Supremacy has existed for centuries in America. And so has racism. Charlottesville, Durham, Seattle, and other cities across the country became the racial fields for the Neo Nazi, White Nationalist and the Alt-Right movement for white hatred. These groups and their insecure leadership have found the acceptance by their de facto leader to be a bugle, to assemble and fight for white supremacy. That fight, the same fight waged in the 1800s, 1900s and now in 2017, will have a far different result than before. Today that fight comes with resistance and power to fight against the white controlled establishment. Today, that fight comes with more white American’s fighting along side Black America to ensure that the Constitution that white supremacist use to validate their racist existence will be the same weapon Black America uses to stop their progress. The Confederacy and it’s monuments is no longer hold it’s intimidating nature, because today, they are coming down. My guests, Dr. Karen Cox and Dr. Martha Bireda, join me to say…Welcome to America, white supremacist!

Professor Karen Cox joins us to discuss what feels like political regression in the state of North Carolina. Ross Harris, executive director of the North Carolina Institute for Political Leadership will talk about the mission of the institute and bringing more civility to our factious political discourse.
