Emmett Till, History And Memory, Elliot Gorn
Emmett Till, History And Memory, Elliot Gorn
History: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The story of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old Chicago kid murdered in Mississippi for whistling at a white woman, is well known in its broadest outlines today. In fact, Emmett Till’s name has become shorthand for the horrors of white supremacy and Jim Crow segregation, much as Anne Frank’s name signals the destruction of innocence in the holocaust. But it wasn’t always that way. The most surprising thing about the Till story is how totally forgotten it was for over 30 years, among white Americans that is, even as African-Americans kept his flame alive. Till’s is an important example of how …

"An Environmental Sleight Of Hand:" Trash, Activism, And Urban Finance In Detroit, 1970-1990, Chelsea Denault

Useful For Life: Women, Girls, And Vocational School Reform In Chicago, 1880-1930, Ruby Oram
Useful For Life: Women, Girls, And Vocational School Reform In Chicago, 1880-1930, Ruby Oram
Dissertations
This dissertation explores how the competing efforts of women to prepare girls for wage-earning and homemaking shaped the development of vocation programs for female students in Chicago schools between 1880 and 1930. Histories of vocational education have neglected the role of women as school reformers and suggested that boys rather than girls were the primary focus of new work-oriented classes in urban public schools. Using Chicago as a case study, this dissertation uncovers how groups of women social reformers, educators, and trade unionists promoted vocational programs to protect school-aged girls from dangerous working conditions, steer girls into "wholesome" occupations, and …

Mobilizing The Past: Local History And Community Action In Modern Metropolitan Chicago, Hope Shannon
Dissertations
The vast majority of local historical societies in operation today opened in the decades following World War II. These organizations are common fixtures in cities, towns, and neighborhoods across the United States, and their members continue to support the mandate to protect and share the local past set by their society founders forty, fifty, and sixty years ago. Despite the ubiquity of the local historical society, however, few scholars have considered the ways historical society founders and members used these organizations to do anything beyond explore an interest in local history. €œMobilizing the Past€ investigates how and why residents formed …
