The legacy of Southgate Street School
Episode 1: The School that did not become a parking lot
14 OCT 2023 · "The Legacy of Southgate Street School" explores the rich history of a significant educational institution in Newport, Kentucky. Established in 1873, the school served as a beacon of hope for African-American children during segregation, offering them quality education despite facing numerous challenges, such as using discarded books from white schools. Although it ceased operations in 1955 due to the U.S. Supreme Court's desegregation order, the building's story didn't end there. It temporarily became a hub for illicit activities before almost being demolished for a parking lot. However, thanks to the dedication of its alumni and the community, the school was saved, preserving its legacy as a symbol of resilience, community pride, and educational empowerment.

Episode 2: The two former students who preserved the School
14 OCT 2023 · The Southgate Street School, once on the brink of becoming a parking lot, stands today as a symbol of community spirit and history, largely due to the efforts of two pivotal figures: Robert Ingguls and Patricia Headen.

Similarly, Patricia, deeply rooted in community and faith, was not just an alumnus but a guardian of the school's history. Together, they worked tirelessly to maintain the school's heritage and ensure its stories weren't forgotten. Both often recounted the school's educational excellence and the community's unique approach to integration. Their dedication ensures that the legacy of Southgate Street School continues to inspire future generations.

Episode 3: The School comes back to life through AI-generated artwork
14 OCT 2023 · Exploring the intersection of generative AI and art, a course at Northern Kentucky University introduced students to the wonders of AI-driven content creation. Generative AI, particularly text-to-image systems like DALL-E by OpenAI, can produce entirely new visual creations from simple text prompts. In an ambitious project, students in the course decided to use this technology to visually recreate cherished memories from the alumni of Southgate Street School. Using tools like Midjourney, they transformed historical prompts into evocative AI-generated images, culminating in a book titled "The Legacy of Southgate Street School". This initiative not only celebrated the school's history but also showcased the vast potential of AI in the realm of art and its ability to bridge the past with the future.
