The House by the Side of the Road: A History of the Andrew P. Stewart Center

The Andrew P. Stewart Center was founded by a group of Southern Baptist women in 1916 as the “Andrew Stewart Day Nursery.” Members of the Baptist Women’s Missionary Union, these women sought to alleviate the impoverished conditions facing children and families living in the English Avenue community of Atlanta. The organization survived ten decades of dramatic social change, and currently operates in the Pittsburgh neighborhood. This thesis chronicles the Stewart Center’s evolution over the course of the past century, reflecting on larger patterns of Atlanta’s history while also highlighting the unique responses of an organization largely led by female, Southern Baptist missionaries and volunteers. Racial transitions feature prominently in the Center’s evolution: neighborhood white flight and school desegregation played a pivotal role in the organization’s geographic location and interpretation of purpose

Using Art to Promote Peace in the Lives of Elementary Aged Students

Guernica was Pablo Picasso’s most controversial piece, created as a political statement to show the devastation of war in Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. It is the inspiration for the Kid’s Guernica Peace Mural Project, developed as a way for adolescents to visually express their ideas of peace as a global goal. With the completion of a peace workshop and a 3.5m × 7.8m moveable mural, Kentucky is now a participant in the project. The mural illustrates the creative collaboration of sixty fifth grade students, a local artist and myself. It will travel throughout the state of Kentucky during the year 2013, in hopes of starting more conversations about the importance of a peaceful global community. Creating Kentucky’s first entry into the international project was an ambitious process that involved the support of Western Kentucky University’s Honors College, Hartstern Elementary, and the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts. Funding was provided by the Faculty-Undergrad Student Engagement Grant, Honors Development Grant, Student Government Association, the Fund for the Arts 5x5 Grant and the Parent/Teacher Association of Hartstern
