Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The Campus Living advisory committee recently approved the creation of a gay wing in Knox Hall. This gay wing would be a "safe zone" open to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and their supporters.

The Right View. Sensitivity U, Michael L. Lane

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Last week's announcement of a new dormitory wing reserved for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals is not particularly interesting. It came as no surprise that the university, concerned more with sensitivity than education, would forge ahead with such a reckless plan. Many would prefer to ignore the issue. However, as a supposed voice of the reactionary social policy, I feel that this decision, indeed the university's stance of anti-discriminatory education, is worthy of comment.

Cutler Defends No Hiv Testing Policy, Mark Jackson

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The editorial of Feb. 2, 1996 on HIV testing needs a response. There is an evolving understanding of the role of HIV testing as part of a broader effort to effect major behavioral changes that are needed to halt the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The community should understand these facts about HIV testing.

Black Women In Antebellum America: Active Agents In The Fight For Freedom, Sandra M. Grayson

William Monroe Trotter Institute Publications

The most prominent images of Black women in antebellum America depicted in classes across the United States are of passive victims as opposed to active agents of change. The names and deeds of Black women like Frances E. W. Harper, Maria Stewart, Sarah Mapps Douglass, and Sarah Jane Giddings are not an integral part of American education. Further, most history books overlook Black women's roles in antebellum America — oversights which can be considered suppression through historical omission. In order to reflect a more accurate picture of American history, public and private school curriculums need to include texts by and …

Labor At Home: The Domestic World Of Workers At The Du Pont Powder Mills, 1802-1902, Margaret M. Mulrooney

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

While the history of the du Pont family and Du Pont Company have been well-documented, little is known about the everyday lives of the Irish Catholic immigrants who lived and worked at the home plant near Wilmington, Delaware. to correct this oversight, "Labor at Home" explores every aspect of the powder workers' domestic world--from religious beliefs, family structure, gender relations, and ethnic ties, to houses, furnishings, and yards--and uses this data to support new conclusions about cultural identity and class affiliation. as early as the 1820s, for example, powder mill families began to convey their increasing affiliation with bourgeois American …

Annie Wood: A Portrait, Jo Ann Mervis Hofheimer

Institute for the Humanities Theses

In 1871, Anna Cogswell Wood and Irene Kirke Leache founded a school for girls in Norfolk, Virginia which had a profound influence on the community. The Leache-Wood Seminary became Norfolk's center for cultural pursuits. After the death of Irene Leache in 1900, Annie Wood established a memorial to perpetuate her friend's interest in literature, music, art, drama, and spiritual studies. Wood began a number of cultural programs which grew to shape the cultural life of the town in remarkable ways, leading directly to the Virginia Symphony, the Norfolk Little Theater, the Irene Leache Memorial, the Norfolk Society of Arts, and …
