Ida Gerding Athens
Ida Gerding Athens (February 23, 1882 – November 4, 1977) was an American author. She wrote a collection of poetry titled ''Brethren''. Born Ida Bird Gerding in Cleves, Ohio, she came from a poor German-American family. She was included in the '' Who's Who of African American Writers'' because of her candid comments upon racial tension in the United States, perhaps inspired by her own low socio-economic background. Her poetry from the 1930s was discussed by James Edward Smethurst in ''The New Red Negro: The Literary Left and African-American Poetry, 1930–1946'' together with that of Lucy Mae Turner, Frank Marshall Davis, Waring Cuney, Richard Wright and Countée Cullen. Smethurst notes that Gerding Athens appeared to be separated from the mainstream of left-wing African-American literature, yet "manifested important thematic and formal concerns" in her poetry that he considers characteristic of 1930s–40s African-American poetry. She was supposedly influential in choosi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Ohio State Symbols
This is a list of state symbols for the US state of Ohio. The majority of these items are officially recognized by state law, having been ratified by an act of the Ohio General Assembly and executed by the governor's signature. These items can be found in the Ohio Revised Code, General Provisions, Chapter 5. Two of Ohio's official symbols have not been officially signed into law, but were made official through resolution in the Senate. State motto Adopted in 1959, the Ohio motto, ''With God, all things are possible'', is a quotation taken from Matthew, 19:26. From 1865 until 1867, however, the motto was: (Latin for "Empire within an Empire"). Too controversial for a post-Civil War society, it was repealed after two years. State slogan The current official marketing slogan (as of 2008) is: ''Ohio—Birthplace of Aviation'', in reference to Orville and Wilbur Wright, the inventing duo from Dayton who are credited with building the first successful airplane.

American People Of German Descent
German Americans (german: Deutschamerikaner, ) are Americans who have full or partial German ancestry. With an estimated size of approximately 43 million in 2019, German Americans are the largest of the self-reported ancestry groups by the United States Census Bureau in its American Community Survey. German Americans account for about one third of the total population of people of German ancestry in the world. Very few of the German states had colonies in the new world. In the 1670s, the first significant groups of German immigrants arrived in the British colonies, settling primarily in Pennsylvania, New York and Virginia. The Mississippi Company of France moved thousands of Germans from Europe to Louisiana and to the German Coast, Orleans Territory between 1718 and 1750. Immigration ramped up sharply during the 19th century. There is a "German belt" that extends all the way across the United States, from eastern Pennsylvania to the Oregon coast.

Countée Cullen
Countee Cullen (born Countee LeRoy Porter; May 30, 1903 – January 9, 1946) was an American poet, novelist, children's writer, and playwright, particularly well known during the Harlem Renaissance. Early life Childhood Countee LeRoy Porter was born on May 30, 1903, to Elizabeth Thomas Lucas. Due to a lack of records of his early childhood, historians have had difficulty identifying his birthplace. Baltimore, Maryland, New York City, and Louisville, Kentucky have been cited as possibilities. Although Cullen claimed to be born in New York City, he also frequently referred to Louisville, Kentucky as his birthplace on legal applications. Cullen was brought to Harlem at the age of nine by Amanda Porter, believed to be his paternal grandmother, who cared for him until her death in 1917. Reverend Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of Salem Methodist Episcopal Church, Harlem's largest congregation, and his wife, the former Carolyn Belle Mitchell, adopted the 15-year-old Countee Porter, ...
