“Forgive Our Living And Our Dead”: Colonial Warfare In The Philippines, Mattie Fitzpatrick
History
In March of 1906, American troops massacred over 1,000 Filipino civilians on Bud Dajo mountain. American service members were commended for this incident. My research examines this massacre to ask why wars of insurgency are specifically subject to abuses of power, particularly during the American-Philippines War and the ensuing colonial warfare between 1898 and 1906 under the colonization of the US. My research will focus on the circumstances created to excuse US soldiers after atrocities were committed and the colonial attitudes of the time in addition to the brutal methods used by the American government in Philippines. American colonial administrators …

The River Bends Towards Justice: A Comparative Historical Analysis Of Schools During Reconstruction And In The Corridor Of Shame, Lacie M. Straley
Caroliniana Undergraduate Research Journal
The “Corridor of Shame” is a row of 17 South Carolina school districts that lay along Interstate-95, and are characterized by low levels of funding, dilapidated buildings, low teacher retention, and low levels of student achievement. These schools bear a striking resemblance to the public schools created during the Reconstruction era—a resemblance that has been previously unexplored. I argue that, with the exception of student achievement, the conditions of South Carolina’s public schools during Reconstruction and the present day parallel one another. These parallels are reflected in deteriorating physical conditions and poorer teaching quality. However, despite sharing similar conditions, they …

Maggies, Not Aggies: The Long History Of Opposition To Women At Texas A&M, Kara Alexander Culp
Journal of Texas History
Texas A&M University, a former all-male military school and the oldest public college in the state, is widely known for its conservative reputation. Drawing on archival documents and newspapers, this essay traces how the opposition to women at A&M evolved over the course of the school’s existence and examines the role former students played in shaping A&M’s identity. It argues that the school’s masculine reputation was intentionally crafted through constant pushback against official coeducation and an intentional burying of women’s historic involvement in order to create a narrative that was centered around male whiteness.

Journal of Texas History
The article examines the early phase of the Mexican American student movement that emerged at the University of Texas at Austin between 1966 and 1980. It argues that UT activists led a unique campus-based movement that combined struggles against discrimination, underrepresentation, and institutional neglect with sustained engagement in community and statewide causes. The essay covers student responses to racism both on and off campus and highlights students’ pivotal role in establishing, defending, and strengthening Chicano studies at UT. Attention is given to the leadership and contributions of Chicanas to the movement. The UT student movement helped shape a new Mexican …

“We’Ve Got Black Power And That’S Gonna Go A Long Way”: Ruth Jefferson Of The Dallas Nwro And The Origins Of A Multiracial Coalition In Dallas, Katherine Bynum Chávez
Journal of Texas History
This article examines how welfare rights activism helped forge a Black–Brown coalition in Dallas in the late 1960s. Centering Black welfare organizer Ruth Jefferson, it traces her role in transforming struggles over public assistance into demands for community control and political power. Although Dallas’s racial order fostered competition between Black and Mexican American communities, activists recognized shared grievances, particularly police violence and state repression. Linking welfare rights, Black Power, Chicana/o activism, and the War on Poverty, the article argues that the coalition emerged through deliberate organizing against institutions that had long worked to keep these communities apart.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911 marked a significant turning point in creating workplace safety laws and in the fight for labor rights. Through in-depth analysis of sources such as monographs, newspaper articles, testimonials, and letters, it has become clear that the narratives in media played a crucial role in shaping legal outcomes, primarily through detailed descriptions and graphic illustrations of the event.

Rewriting The Nation: Collective Memory And The 1776 Commission, Dashiell K. Brown
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
This paper examines the ongoing struggle over the historical memory in the United States through an analysis of the 1776 Commission and its 2021 report. It argues that the report represents a deliberate effort to construct and control collective memory in order to promote a particular vision of national identity. By placing the 1776 Commission within a broader historiographical and political context, the paper shows how efforts to shape public understanding of history are closely tied to struggles over power, education, and national identity.

Primitive Accumulation In The Late Twentieth Century: Mexico, The United States, And Nafta, Mark Huffman
Scholars Week
Between 1971 and 1994, American capital succeeded in redirecting state action toward the interests of the largest transnational firms, facilitating extreme concentrations of wealth and capital alongside a profound defeat of organized labor and the dismantling of social programs. The post-Keynesian political economy produced the North American Free Trade Agreement, an event which demonstrated both the ideological capture of the American state by neoliberalism and the purpose of the ideology as a social force (as opposed to a strictly economic one). This article investigates the neoliberal turn generally and NAFTA specifically as engines of social dislocation in North America and …

“Promotion And Persuasion”: The Propaganda That Helped Colonize America, Lillian Matthews
Best Integrated Writing
This essay seeks to review the literary devices used to manipulate the English population in favor of colonizing North America. The differences in techniques used for social classes ranging from peasantry to royalty are highlighted and compared. The promises of expanding the empire, easing widespread fears, and financial gains are all emphasized as motives for this so-called “Promotional Literature.”
