He built ten bridges over the Missouri River, five over the Mississippi River and one over the Ohio River. Morison designed bridges in New York, and worked on the New York waterfront. He also helped to locate a deep water harbor in southern California and designed and built several viaducts.

Morison served on numerous engineering boards and acted as a consulting expert for Baring Brothers Company. Morison was a member of several important engineering committees, the most important of which was the Isthmus Canal (Panama Canal) Commission, 1899-1903. He was instrumental in changing its recommended location from Nicaragua to Panama.

Scope and Contents:

Arturo Griffiths spoke about the creation of the Community Coalition, Multicultural Leadership Summit, and Multicultural Leadership Council after disturbances in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood in Washington, DC to address the needs of the Latino community and the Black community, and to bring communities together. And later, the creation and evolution of the Afro-Latino institute because the Latino community was not addressing their lack of inclusivity in regards to the Black community.

Griffiths explained United States foreign policy, including why Central Americans flee to the US; Latinos' goals living in the United States; Latinos' lack of understanding regarding United States history, current events, racism, and inclusivity; the isolation of the Black community in the US which led to a lack of knowledge regarding Black people from other parts of the world; the lack of relationship and connection between the Black community and Latino community as well as between the Black people in the US and Black people from the rest of the world; and the attempts by the Black community in the US to reach out to other communities in the US and their efforts were not reciprocated. Griffiths spoke about Latinos' struggle for empowerment and lack of voting power; Frank Shaffer-Corona, the first elected Latino in DC area and first Latino on school board; racism within the Latino community; the Latino community leadership's lack of Black representation; and how people from various ethnic groups identify themselves and which groups feel isolated.

Griffiths also spoke about his extended family history and ethnic background, which included West Indian and English ancestry; the racial segregation system, imposed by the United States, in the Canal Zone of Panama; the tension between Blacks of English descent and Blacks of Spanish descent; his politically active Afro-Panamanian father, who was forced out of Panama City and arrived in the United States in the middle of the Civil Rights movement; and his father's work in the US, including the organization of the Washington Ghetto Industrial Development and Investment Corporation to empower the ghettoes and Black communities economically through controlling the distribution of goods.

Griffiths spoke about his childhood in Panama City as a Black West Indian kid who spoke Spanish and was raised by his mother; his school experience; racism within his family; and his family's economic instability. He described what he knew about the United States prior to arriving in the United States; his family's migration to the United States, including their migration preparations in Panama; his first impressions arriving in the center of the Black community in northwest Washington, DC during the Civil Rights Movement; and the segregation and discrimination he witnessed in the US. Griffiths talked about playing basketball when he was young; clashing with the Black kids in the US because he was a foreigner and spoke Spanish; being a part of one of the gangs to survive; learning English; and living in both and between the Latino community and the Black community.

Arturo Griffiths was interviewed by Hector Corporan on December 23, 1992. Interview is in English and minimal Spanish. Digital audio files include white noise and static, and minimal background noise. Interviewee's voice is intelligible for the most part.

Scope and Contents:

Dorotea Bryce explained her parents originated from Panama, and her grandparents from Jamaica; the migration of her grandparents from Jamaica to Panama; and why her grandmother migrated from Jamaica to Nicaragua to Costa Rica to Panama. She also explained the historical tension between Spain and England, the economic benefit of living in the Canal Zone, the disadvantages for Black people with traditionally Spanish surnames, the pressure when people began migrating from Caribbean, changing of names to hide historical descent, and the migration of families looking for work as enterprises emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. Bryce described the school systems in Panama, the students, and the school she attended, including a typical school day. She attended school in the late 1940s before integration. After she finished school in Panama, she attended an American high school in the Canal Zone. She explained the difference between the two school systems, one for the children of West Indian workers and the other for children of Americans who were working on the canal. Bryce also talked about growing up and racial discrimination in the Canal Zone. Bryce discussed the Panamanian president Arnulfo Arias Madrid; Omar Torrijos, Manuel Noriega, and treaties signed; the 1963 dispute of the Panamanian flag in the Canal Zone when 9 Panamanians killed; the various national identification cards and the voting card for Panama; why some Panamanians identified as West Indian and others as Latino; why she does not consider herself West Indian or Jamaican; and her identity as Afro-Latina. She also briefly discussed ackee (yellow fruit) as served by Jamaicans, Panamanian music, and the song she sings at the beginning of ACMA_AV000734_A.

Bryce talked briefly about arriving in the United States in 1960 at the beginning of desegregation, the Embassy in the United States, her job as secretary in Department of Romance Languages in Nebraska, and time in California. She talked more about the annual Panamanian Reunion held in different parts of the United States, and why she does not attend the reunion; and the formation, mission, activities, events, and demise of the Afro-Latino Institute, an organization to promote Afro-Latino cultures of the Americas in the Washington, DC area.

Interview is in English, Spanish, and minimal of a third language or dialect. The contents sound more like a discussion than an interview, and also might be incomplete (recording sounds like it starts in middle). Digital audio files include white noise and static, and some crinkling (going through photographs) and other background noise. Interviewee can be heard clearly for the most part. Interviewers' voices are very soft and difficult to hear for the most part.

Summary:

An album of photographs of Panama and the Panama Canal, circa 1904-1914.

Scope and Contents:

The collection consists of a disbound album of photographs relating to the Panama Canal, including a few construction scenes, vessels traveling through the Canal, urban and rural street scenes, housing, hospital scenes, historic buildings, and people. The three inch by three inch photographic prints are mounted on black album paper and most are badly faded and unidentified. Most of the photographs are informal and have the feel of snapshots taken by an amateur photographer. There are a few larger format photographs. Also included is the Official Handbook of the Panama Council, 1913.

Arrangement:

This collection is arranged in one series.

Series 1, Photograph Album, circa 1904-1914

Biographical / Historical:

On November 18, 1903, the United States and Panama negotiated the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, which granted the United States. permission to construct a canal that would join the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Construction for the Panama Canal began on May 4, 1904. The large workforce -- at its highest population in 1913 it numbered 44,733 men, not including those sick, on leave, or otherwise absent -- had a great impact on Panama. As there were not enough amenities to accommodate them when they arrived, the workers built entire communities, paved streets, improved communication systems, and installed water and sewage systems. Likewise, the railroad was improved for more efficient transportation of supplies, labor, food, and equipment. Much to the credit of Chief Sanitary Officer Dr. William Crawford Gorgas, yellow fever was completely eradicated on the isthmus and malaria cases greatly reduced. Native villages and towns along the planned construction route were required to relocate.

The first self-propelled, ocean-bound vessel traveled on the canal on January 7, 1914, and the canal was formally opened in August of that year. The Panama Canal construction project was the most expensive construction project in United States history to that date, costing $375,000,000.
