Under The Cover Of Apathy: The Struggle For Equality In Bowling Green, Kentucky, Shannon Shea Peterson Apr 1997

Under The Cover Of Apathy: The Struggle For Equality In Bowling Green, Kentucky, Shannon Shea Peterson

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

In the years surrounding the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson, many states passed Jim Crow laws to limit the rights of black citizens. Jim Crow laws and practices invaded nearly every facet of life in the South. Bowling Green, Kentucky, was no different. By the early twentieth century, it had a number of Jim Crow facilities and institutions, supported by custom and often times with the force of the law. At that time, Bowling Green was home to a thriving black community despite prejudice and inequality. Black children, for example, attended separate elementary schools in the …

One Lone Voice: John Marshall Harlah And The Constitutional Rights Of African Americans, Diana Jean Werkman Mar 1997

One Lone Voice: John Marshall Harlah And The Constitutional Rights Of African Americans, Diana Jean Werkman

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

John Marshall Harlan, a Kentuckian who served on the United States Supreme Court from 1877 to 1911, was often the only Justice who supported the civil and political rights of African Americans. His jurisprudence was interesting because it combined traditional elements of the Court's Gilded Age views and fundamental ideas of mid-twentieth-century judicial race philosophy. The events that reshaped Harian's race philosophy illustrate how he made the transition from slave owner to defender of individual rights. Significant to his judicial ideology was his interpretation of dual federalism and the intent of the framers of the Civil War Amendments. While the …

Fannie’S Flirtations: Etiquette, Reality, And The Age Of Choice, Sue Lynn Mcdaniel Jan 1995

Fannie’S Flirtations: Etiquette, Reality, And The Age Of Choice, Sue Lynn Mcdaniel

SCL Faculty and Staff Publications

The 1890s were, for bright young females, an age of choice. Despite admonitions that flirting would ruin their reputations, many south central Kentucky adolescents enjoyed courtship rituals and remained highly respected in their communities. For every Charlotte Perkins Gilman with a mission set on advancing the status of women within our society, numerous females existed simply to enjoy life’s fullness and frivolity. Fannie Morton Bryan’s life story, as told through her diaries and newspaper accounts, gives readers a glimpse of the many rather than the few, the fun-loving rather than the serious-minded, and the old maid flirt in the largest …


Demanding Citizenship: The U.S. Women's Movement, 1848-1930, Lena Sweeten Dec 1994

Demanding Citizenship: The U.S. Women's Movement, 1848-1930, Lena Sweeten

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The U. S. women's movement began in 1848 with the Seneca Falls Convention for women's rights. As set forth by the convention's "Declaration of Sentiments," the movement was concerned with a broad array of social, religious, cultural and political reforms to bring about gender equality. Following the Civil War, the women's movement took on the semblance of a single-issue movement, as the effort to achieve woman suffrage consumed feminists' resources and energies. The acquisition of suffrage was intended to be the vehicle for women to gain the spectrum of rights initially defined in 1848. Extravagant predictions about the power of …
