Segregation In United States Healthcare: From Reconstruction To Deluxe Jim Crow, Kerri L. Hunkele

Honors Theses and Capstones

During the time period between Reconstruction and the Deluxe Jim Crow era, African Americans were legally oppressed, which hindered their ability to live fully and equally in society with whites. This was especially true in terms of healthcare. Segregation laws were implemented to separate blacks from the rest of society in everyday life; the worst of these laws affected the ability of African Americans to gain access to medical care that was equal to whites. This inequality prevented blacks from being accepted into society and from living quality lives that stem from adequate healthcare. Although the federal and state governments ...

Clubwomen, Reformers, Workers, And Feminists Of The Gilded Age And Progressive Era, Alison M. Parker

History Faculty Publications

During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, clubwomen, reformers, laborers, and feminists asserted their right to participate in the public, political sphere. Whether they intended to further their education, improve society, gain better working conditions, or control their own bodies, women expanded traditional gender roles and played an important role in transforming their society. Most significantly, the guarantee of voting rights provided by the Nineteenth Amendment marked a major milestone in the history of the struggle for women's rights. While women made important advances in other areas as well, many of the goals of tum-of-the-century reformers and feminists-for economic ...

The Impact Of World War I On American Women’S Fashion, Bethany L. Haight

Honors Senior Theses/Projects

Learning about influential events, such as World War I, that surround changes in dress can provide the context needed to understand why these changes occurred in the first place. Prior to discussing contemporary influences it is important to consider antecedent factors. While the entire history of clothing and fashion could be discussed, this work will focus on the most relevant years, the decade that preceded World War I. While this is due in part to its immediate association with the time in question this decade also marked the end of a century-long standstill in the Western fashion industry. Consequently, analyzing ...

Sympathy For The Devil: Charles Manson's Exploitation Of California's 1960s Counter-Culture, Robin Altman

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Charles Manson rose to infamy in 1969 with his orchestration of seven grisly murders in Los Angeles, California.^[1] Even more shocking than the murder scenes was the fact that Manson did not perpetrate any of the murders himself, but instead convinced others to commit the crimes: the murderers came from a Manson-led cult commonly known as the Manson Family. Manson’s total control over his followers marked him as a manipulative and cunning psychopath, but the development of his cult was largely due to the 1960s counter-culture in which it began.

Manson’s psychological development left clear markers for ...

Roman Slavery: A Study Of Roman Society And Its Dependence On Slaves., Andrew Mason Burks

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Rome's dependence upon slaves has been well established in terms of economics and general society. This paper, however, seeks to demonstrate this dependence, during the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire, through detailed examples of slave use in various areas of Roman life. The areas covered include agriculture, industry, domestic life, the state, entertainment, intellectual life, military, religion, and the use of female slaves. A look at manumission demonstrates Rome's growing awareness of this dependence. Through this discussion, it becomes apparent that Roman society existed during this time as it did due to slavery ...
