Sophie Cox's Story Ideas

1. In His Memory: Honoring Hamilton Holmes
  • This program will honor Dr. Hamilton Holmes Sr. and his son, Hamilton Holmes Jr., will deliver a keynote address. We could write a profile on Holmes Jr. and his family.
2. Black fraternities and sororities at the University of Georgia
  • Why these organizations are important and the history of such organizations on our campus
3. Segregation within the Greek Community
  • Why most fraternities and sororities are predominately white
  • Does the Greek Community plan on changing this?
4. National Association of Black Journalists
  • The importance and history of NABJ
  • Profile a number of students and faculty involved
5. The HOPE Scholarship and Desegregation
  • Who is actually helped by the HOPE Scholarship?
6. Are we living in a post-racial society?
  • Poll students on their opinions about UGA's progress
7. Segregation and the Civil Rights Movement: Women’s Lived Experiences
  • How women fit into the mold
8. That's racist!
  • Defining racism and prejudice and working to help students understand the difference
9. The Georgia Bulldogs post desegregation
  • Maybe find one of the first black football players and interview him about his experiences on the team
10. What's in a name?
  • Highlight some of these leaders
  • Many students will recognize their names from around campus, but who were they and why did UGA name a building after them?
11. It's not just black and white
  • Profile on other minority groups at UGA, asking whether or not they feel included in the celebration.
12. Multiracial students at UGA
  • How their lives differ from other students
  • Struggle to find identity?
