Shafaie grew up learning poetry and literature not just through books but through anecdotes heard from numerous \"uncles\" and \"aunts,\" as it was customary to call his parents' close family friends and contemporaries. This mix of politics, social activism, and art shaped his life. ","After finishing elementary and secondary school in Tehran, Shafaie enrolled in Shiraz University (formerly Pahlavi) to study National Development and Sociology. In 1972, he delivered a speech to present the results of a questionnaire and research he had done to study attitudes towards sexual orientation in Iran. The speech was socially important, as it marked the first serious discussion in Iran of same-sex relationships.","After graduating from Shiraz University, Shafaie moved to the United States in 1976 to continue his education. He enrolled at Syracuse University in the Master's Program in Sociology. During his time at Syracuse, Shafaie got involved in Iranian student groups and explored gay and lesbian issues to expand his own understanding. ","Shafaie was involved in the anti-Shah movement in the United States during and after the gathering movement against the Shah in 1977.  Although he was opposed to Iran's U.S.-backed monarchy, Shafaie was not in favor of an Islamic regime either. He was involved in organizing civil, intellectual, and political rights campaigns both before and after the 1979 Iranian revolution. Shafaie also spoke out against oppression and repression that occurred after the consolidation of power by the Islamic regime. ","Shafaie always remained a staunch opponent of U.S. intervention and policies, which opened other paths for Shafaie as he came in contact with activists surrounding the issues of Latin America. Shafaie became involved with activists who stood in solidarity with the Nicaraguan revolution, the movement in El Salvador, and those fighting against the U.S.-backed military junta in Chile. He became an active member of the Syracuse Peace Council and remained involved until his move to Orlando, Florida, in 1983. ","In Orlando, Shafaie quickly became involved with various movements. He became a founding member of the Florida Nuclear Freeze group and a member of the Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice. Shafaie also became instrumental in organizing anti-war activities, and a proponent of social justice causes in the city. Shafaie continued to be involved in organizing against the first U.S. war against Iraq in 1990 and also remained an opponent of U.S. aggressive and interventionist policies in the Middle East and elsewhere. ","Amidst other activism, Shafaie spent the majority of his time in Orlando fighting homophobia and sexism as well as promoting civil and equal rights for gays and lesbians. He was involved in gay and lesbian activism locally. He also became centrally involved in the Iranian organization HOMAN, an international coalition of Iranian gay and lesbian organizations. Shafaie was both a contributor and one of the forces behind the production and publication of HOMAN's magazine. ","Additionally, Shafaie raised the issue of also homophobia in papers presented at an Iranian Women's Studies conference and at several gatherings in Canada. Saviz Shafaie passed away from cancer on September 18th, 2000. ","The materials in this collection primarily relate to Shafaie's LGBT+ activism in Orlando, though there are mentions of Iranian activism as well.","Collection processed by and finding aid prepared by Kyle Messamore in 2013.

","Series II: Photographs, 1979-1998 contains photographs and related scrapbook-style materials taken of and by Shafaie at various LGBT activism events.

Originally born and raised in Iran, he was an activist in both Iran and America, fleeing to exile in America upon the change in government in the late 70s. He was also an Iranian poet and a businessman; owning and operating Powerhouse Restaurant in Winter Park. Saviz remained an activist until his passing from cancer in the late 1990s.

While his Father was in the navy, George's family lived at Pearl Harbor, and he witnessed the 1941 attack. George himself served in the navy for more than three years as a weather forecaster; for part of the time he was on the USS Bairoko. After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in meteorology in 1955, George Millay worked for a stockbroking firm until 1960. He married Anne Real in 1963; they eventually had three sons and a daughter.","\nIn 1958, Millay opened the Reef restaurant in Los Angeles with David Tallichet. He planned to create a submarine bar there so that customers could view sea creatures while enjoying cocktails. The plan failed because the water in the harbor was too cloudy. However, his interest in marine life introduced him to Dr. Kenneth Norris, curator at Marineland. Together with Milton Shedd and David DeMott, they organized the Marine Park Corporation to create a marine park in San Diego. Sea World opened in 1964 and expanded in 1970 with a park in Ohio followed by the Orlando park in 1972. Sea World Inc. opened an amusement park in Valencia California on 29th May 1971 in partnership with Newhall Land and Farming. Officially named \"Magic Mountain\", the park was designated \"Tragic Mountain\" by a reporter who was injured there. Sea World did not make a profit on the venture and sold out to its partner late in 1971. Millay resigned from Sea World Inc in 1974 because of a disagreement with his partners over how the company should develop.","\nGeorge Millay had spent a lot of time at Sea World in Orlando, and he thought that families would enjoy water activities as a break from the Florida heat. He pulled together ideas from a water playground at the Toronto World's Fair, a flume near Sacramento and a wave pool in Alabama, added a children's playgound, restrooms, gift shop and snack bar to create a new concept. He formed the Leisure Marine Corporation to develop his idea. Initially, the company ran the Seven Seas park in Arlington, TX, for a season, but the venture did not develop further. Wet 'n Wild eventually became a reality in Orlando, where it opened in 1977. The company took over the failing Seven Seas park and redeveloped it into the second Wet 'n Wild in 1983 followed by Las Vegas in 1985. Additional sites opened in Garland, TX, Brazil and Mexico. Wet 'n Wild was named the Best of Aquatics for 2003 by Aquatics International magazine.","\nMillay retired from Wet 'n Wild in 1998, but he continued to work on new projects. He designed and patented a system for moving visitors down into the center of a circular aquarium so that everyone had a good view of the fish. Millay partnered with William Watts and David Powell in creating a company named Sea Venture to sell the system. At the time of his death in 2006, no examples of the system had been sold.","\nGeorge Millay received Lifetime Achievement Awards from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions and the Themed Entertainment Association, and he was named the Father of the Waterpark Industry by the World Waterpark Association. Tim O'Brien wrote Millay's biography entitled The Wave Maker in 2004.","Collection processed by Judith Beale; finding aid prepared by Judith Beale.

Her parents were physician Hayes Joseph Burnett and tennis player Roberta (\"Bertha\") Ball Burnett. She was the eldest of four children and grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. ","She graduated from Miner Normal School, Washington D.C. in 1925 with the intention of becoming a teacher. Wesley worked as a library assistant in the Miner Normal School library where she worked with librarian Lula V. Allan (1879-1968) who encouraged her to pursue a career in library science. Wesley enrolled in Howard University in 1926 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928. She then enrolled at Colombia University's School of Library Science where she received a Master's in Library Science in 1931. ","In 1929 Dorothy married artist and art history professor James Amos Porter (1905-1970) with whom she had her only daughter, Constance \"Coni\" Porter Uzelac (1939-2012). James A. Porter graduated with honors from Howard University in 1927 and began teaching art there the next semester. His classic book and standard reference work,  Modern Negro Art , proved to be one of the most informative sources to date on the creativity of the Black artists.","In 1930, Dorothy Porter began work as curator of the Moorland Foundation at Howard University, (now known as the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center) and worked to build the library's collections documenting African, African American, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Hispanic history and culture. After becoming the Curator at Howard University in 1930, started thinking about how to catalog books by Black authors and related to Black history and culture. At the time, she recognized that the Dewey Decimal System only had two numbers (for \"Slavery\" and for \"Colonization\") under which all works related to Black people or Black authors could be cataloged. In response, during the first few years of her Curatorship, she created a new classification system that reflected the true breadth of the books available on topics related to Black people and by Black authors. She disseminated the classification system to other libraries, and published it in 1939. Porter worked at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center until her retirement in 1973.","James Porter's died in 1970, and in 1979 Dorothy married Charles Harris Wesley (1891-1987), a noted historian, educator, and author. After receiving his master's degree from Yale University in 1913, he taught at Howard University from 1913 until 1942. Between 1920 and 1925, he also earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University, the fourth African American to do so. He served as President of Wilberforce University from 1942-1947 and of Central State College, Ohio from 1947 until 1965. ","Charles Harris Wesley authored more than 15 books on African-American history over the course of his career. His first book, Negro Labor in the United States, was hailed as one of the most useful works on the role of African-Americans in industry available in the 1920s. Dorothy worked with Charles on a variety of research projects even prior to their marriage, and continued to do so until Charles's death in 1987. ","After her retirement from Howard University in 1973, Dorothy Porter Wesley worked as a consultant for a variety of institutions and foundations such as the Radcliffe University's Black Women Oral History Archive. She also continued to write articles and books.","In 1994 President Bill Clinton presented her with the National Endowment for the Humanities' Charles Frankel Award. Dorothy Porter Wesley died in Broward County, Florida in 1995.","The book  William Cooper Nell, Nineteenth-Century African American Abolitionist, Historian, Integrationist: Selected Writings 1832-1874  (2002) was the last research project that Charles and Dorothy worked on together, and was posthumously published by Dorothy's daughter, Constance Porter Uzelac. Uzelac worked as a medical librarian. After her mother's death, she became the Executive Director of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Archive and managed James A. Porter's art collection.","In 2000, Constance Uzelac worked with the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, James Findlay, on an exhibition of her mother's collection that was displayed at the Broward County Main Library in February and March of 2001. Samuel F. Morrison, Director of the Broward County Library, was instrumental in bringing the collection to exhibition at the Bienes, and would further encourage the purchase of the materials from Uzelac for the newly-opened AARLCC Special Collections in December 2002. Constance later worked at Broward County Library, cataloging a portion of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Collection at the AARLCC Special Collections. Constance married Milan Uzelac in 1965. They had no children. She died in Broward County in 2012.","This collection received file level processing.
