Indiana's Civil Rights Commission: A History Of The First Five Years, David Sabol
Indiana's Civil Rights Commission: A History Of The First Five Years, David Sabol
Graduate Thesis Collection
Indiana's Civil Rights Commission evolved from the need to combat the often subtle racial injustices that permeated Hoosier society in the late 1950s and 1960s.

William Walker In Nicaragua: A Critical Review In Light Of Dependency Literature, Patrick N. Sweeney
Graduate Thesis Collection
William Walker's expedition should be a fertile source of examples of such incipient dependency. This is because that expedition was grounded in the political desires of Manifest Destiny and the pragmatic economics of a cross-isthmus connection between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans during the crucial years just before the U.S. Civil war.
