GOLDLEANA'S LEDGER: LOUISIANA LEARNING IN SHREVEPORT'S HOLLYWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ON LEDBETTER STREET 1945-1975 Jolivette Jessica Anderson-Douoning (18127711) 11 March 2024 (has links) <p dir="ltr">This dissertation analyzes the sixty-four (64) page handwritten ledger of Mrs. Goldleana Harris (also known as Mrs. Mosley Abraham Gibbs, 1920–1986), kept between 1944 and 1960. Harris is a Black woman born in Longstreet, Louisiana DeSoto Parish. She lived in Shreveport, Louisiana from 1949–1986. Using a case study approach and close reading analysis of Mrs. Goldleana’s writings, I document a Black woman’s lived experience and the historical significance of Hollywood, a segregated Black neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana and related gathering spaces within the Deep South region of the United States between 1944 and 1960. These spaces include five areas of significant and overlapping importance: The Family House, The School House, The Church House, The Labor (Work) House, & The Play (Leisure) House. </p> Gender history Histories of race Migration history Segregated neighborhoods Shreveport Black Women History Black Women's Studies Louisiana History Caddo Parish History Southern Studies Northwest Louisiana History Keithville Hollywood Neighborhood Hollywood Elementary School Black American culture Black Family House Black Schooling Black Church Rural to urban migration Black Labor in Louisiana Hand picked cotton laborers
