Preserving History: The Fight to Save The Galloway School’s Gresham Building

Written by The Recap Report Staff on . Posted in Education, Featured, Lifestyle, Trending.

Nestled in Buckhead’s Chastain neighborhood lies a beacon of educational excellence – The Galloway School. Founded in 1969 by the visionary WWll and Korean War veteran, Elliott Galloway, this institution has stood as a testament to progress, inclusivity, and academic prowess. However, at the heart of its campus, The Gresham Building faces the threat of demolition. 

Constructed in 1911, the Gresham Building has witnessed the shifting tides in history, transitioning from its initial role as the Fulton County Almshouse to becoming a cornerstone of the renowned Galloway School. 

L to R: Eloise Lamons (attended), Fran Galloway (daughter of founder), Joe Norley (his wife attended) and Doug Seim (his children attended and Galloway School founder Elliott Galloway helped to prevent demolition of a school Doug was affiliated with).

The Galloway School holds a unique position in Georgia’s private education landscape, consistently ranking in the top 20% of schools statewide. Yet, its true distinction lies in its pivotal role during times of societal upheaval. The Galloway School opened its doors to integration, embracing students regardless of race. Icons of civil rights activism, such as Martin Luther King llI, Bernice, and Dexter attended The Galloway school and the children of MLB Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron. 

James Calleroz White, the head of the school administration asserts that the building’s infrastructure is inadequate for modern educational standards, citing concerns about classroom sizes, electrical outlets, and restroom facilities. Yet, to advocate for demolition solely on these grounds risks disregarding the immeasurable value the building holds. 

Enter the Galloway Alumni and Supporters for Preservation (GASP), a grassroots movement fueled by a passion for history and commitment to honoring the legacy of the Galloway School. This coalition has rallied the community, urging citizens of the community to recognize the irreplaceable cultural significance of the Gresham building. Their message is clear: Preservation is not merely about bricks and mortar; it is about safeguarding the soul of this community, preserving the history of its foundation. 

The GASP movement envisions a future where the Gresham building continues to stand as a beacon of inspiration for future generations. By investing in restoration efforts, the school can retain its historical integrity while addressing the practical concerns raised by its administration. With the support of the community, GASP aims to transform this potential loss into an opportunity for renewal and revitalization. 

At a press conference on Monday, March 25th, four advocates for the preservation of the Galloway School stepped forward to champion the cause, among them were Eloise Lamens, a school alumna; Fran Galloway, daughter of the school’s esteemed founder; Joe Norley, whose spouse is a school alumna; and Doug Seim, whose children attended the school as well. Notably, Seim’s connection with the founder Elliott Galloway, assisted in preserving the demolition of a church in which he was affiliated.

In a show of solidarity, the Galloway School community has initiated a petition, acquiring over 1500 petition signatures in support of preserving the historic Gresham Building.

Prestigious Thompson Atlanta Hotel Recognizes LaToya Dwight and Pad the Pandemic for Community Service Efforts During Women’s History Month

Written by The Recap Report Staff on . Posted in Business, Education, Featured, Health and Beauty, Influential People, Lifestyle.

In a heartfelt celebration of Women’s History Month, the Thompson Atlanta Hotel paid homage to LaToya Dwight and her non-profit organization, Pad the Pandemic, for their unwavering dedication to community service. The ‘It’s Givin’ Brunch,’ held at the renowned Dirty Rascal restaurant, served as a beacon of recognition for Dwight’s tireless efforts in addressing crucial issues affecting individuals with a uterus, particularly in the Metro Atlanta area.

Dwight, the founder and chief motivating officer of Pad the Pandemic, was propelled into action following her own life-altering battle with uterine fibroids. With an impassioned commitment to eradicating period poverty and preventing unnecessary hysterectomies, Pad the Pandemic, a subsidiary of Dwight’s larger organization, The Fibroid Pandemic, has played a pivotal role in providing education, resources, support, and access to clean, non-toxic sanitary products to those in need.

Friends, family, and members of the community congregated at the renowned restaurant , where Dwight delivered a poignant message, declaring, “Health is the new currency.” This powerful statement resonated deeply, underscoring the significance of prioritizing well-being in today’s society. Moreover, the event marked a momentous occasion as the organization  was presented with a grant, symbolizing the tangible support garnered for Pad the Pandemic’s impactful initiatives.

The recognition event, held on Sunday, March 24, 2024, not only served as a platform to honor Dwight’s exceptional leadership but also as an opportunity to amplify awareness and rally support for Pad the Pandemic’s noble mission–to provide resources and bring awareness to menstrual woes.

During her address, Dwight shared sobering statistics revealing that approximately 80% of individuals with a uterus will develop uterine fibroids, with a staggering 80% of this population being Black. She emphasized  the urgency of addressing associated health complications, ranging from high blood pressure to infertility, and stressed the importance of proactive healthcare measures.

Reflecting on the significance of being honored, Dwight expressed profound gratitude for the Thompson Atlanta Hotel’s acknowledgment, stating, “Thank you so very much. I appreciate this support. It will afford our organization the ability to alleviate the continued issues related to lack of financial resources, menstrual supplies and community education.” 

She emphasized that this recognition serves as a testament to the collective determination to overcome challenges and pave a brighter future for all individuals with a uterus. With a resolute spirit, Dwight reaffirmed her commitment by encouraging attendees to show up and show out by donating and participating in her annual Run F.A.R 5K event.

With a successful inaugural brunch, the Thompson Hotel plans to continue honoring nonprofits monthly through Atlanta.

Written by The Recap Report Staff on . Posted in Business, Education, Health and Beauty, Influential People, Lifestyle.

As a relentless advocate for industry advancement, Babiker embodies strength, leadership, and unwavering faith. Her journey is a testament to breaking through technological glass ceilings, operating with a triple-threat strategy to empower others at every level. She is not merely a leader; she is a walking catalyst for change, ensuring that everyone in her orbit  possesses the tools to ascend.

Originally drawn to the professional world of fashion, Babiker envisioned creating plus-size fashion for teenagers. However, recognizing the lack of purchasing power among Black women at the time, she pivoted to technology at the urging of her technologically inclined father. That new path seamlessly blended her passion for fashion and  pursuit of excellence in data processing, computer programming, and information technology.

After several years in the corporate sector, Babiker’s entrepreneurial spirit truly shone during the tumultuous economic landscape of 2008-2009. Faced with uncertainties, she had to make a pivotal decision –“was I going to look for a job or build a job?” This choice marked the genesis of Intellectual Concepts, a leading environmental consulting firm.

A visionary leader, Babiker understood the significance of nurturing the next generation of change makers. In 2010, she founded Intellectual Concepts, with her daughter Essence Johnson by her side, joining as VP of Operations. In the 14 years since, Johnson has carved her own path within the company, and is seamlessly transitioning into the role of Babiker’s successor. 

Remaining at the forefront of industry trends and displaying an insatiable eagerness to learn, Intellectual Concepts thrives domestically and internationally. The company’s footprint started with  public health, the Department of Defense and federal contracting and would later expand to include mobility, environmental justice, and transit. Navigating both familiar and lesser known territories, DeLois strategically aligned with organizations that complemented IC’s mission and  current work. For two years she took time to learn these industries, which not only helped her become an industry expert, but as a leader, preparing her team for the new landscapes to come.

In adherence to her rule of 3s, Babiker imparts invaluable advice of passion, awareness, and curiosity to aspiring Black and Brown women in leadership. Her proudest achievement echoes through her work advocating the return of employees and contractors, advancing from entry level employees to senior level executives, who directly support Intellectual Concepts and their projects.

As internal innovation and ingenuity continues to unfold, Intellectual Concepts will debut its groundbreaking Air Monitoring Solutions Initiative—a locally installed unit that processes and translates

 critical environmental data on air quality. Focusing on underserved communities with a history of pollution, this tool equips advocates and residents with the necessary tools to initiate conversations with statesmen around environmentally provoked health crises .

In the ever-evolving landscape of progress, DeLois Babiker and Intellectual Concepts stand as beacons, lighting the way for a more fair and equal future.

Laying the groundwork early on, Intellectual Concepts is driven by a legacy-centric mindset, with an ultimate end goal to leave underserved communities healthy and thriving long after contracts conclude. Integrity and transparency remain guiding principles, and robust partnerships are forged, creating hubs brimming with much-needed resources for the community.

The ethos of Intellectual Concepts echoes the belief that “everyone deserves a seat at the table and a piece of the pie,” Essence states. “With the right team in place, there are no boundaries. It’s not just about doing things together; it’s about creating a larger impact that resonates through communities, giving them a voice to advocate for themselves and the tools to effect change.”

The firm’s global reach extends to countries in Africa and the Middle East, where they actively combat health threats such as polio through monitoring and surveillance, achieving remarkable success in eradicating risks. They are now in the beta phase of an ambitious air monitor initiative, which is set to reshape how communities engage with their environmental conditions. This initiative will provide powerful environmental data to communities facing dire conditions, empowering them with the tools and proof needed to evoke change.

As Essence Johnson concludes, she urges everyone to be their own champion and advocate, even within the confines of their own communities. Recognizing and addressing health disparities on a broader scale is the catalyst for meaningful change. 

Intellectual Concepts stands not just as a professional services firm but as a force driving societal transformation, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of agriculture, public health, and community advocacy.

Cameron’s story begins in 3rd grade, where he embarked on his musical venture with the violin cello. Throughout his formative years, classical music was his steadfast companion, honing his skills through dedicated practice and summer camps. However, a pivotal moment during his freshman year of high school altered the trajectory of his musical path.

Immersing himself in the world of jazz, Cameron joined his high school’s jazz band, taking on a journey of improvisation and creativity. Collaborating with his teacher on gigs, he delved deeper into the intricacies of jazz music, captivated by its expressive freedom and emotive resonance. 

Inspired by his experiences, Cameron envisioned a platform to celebrate and nurture the love for jazz within the AUC community and beyond. His passion ignited a vision for the SpelHouse Jazz Festival, a vibrant showcase of talent and creativity that transcends boundaries and fosters connections.

With unwavering determination, Cameron approached the Morehouse Student Government Association president, securing the necessary support to bring his vision to life. The festival, not merely a musical event but a testament to ambition and collaboration, embodies Cameron’s commitment to fostering a sense of unity among participants. 

Beyond its musical offerings, the SpelHouse Jazz Festival serves as a beacon of inspiration, challenging individuals to pursue their dreams and embrace their unique visions. Cameron hopes the festival will become a timeless source of inspiration, igniting a fire in future generations of musicians and music lovers around the metro area. 

At its core, the SpelHouse Jazz Festival symbolizes the transformative power of music and the enduring spirit of innovation, Cameron takes the stage, conducting and performing alongside fellow musicians.
