Last summer, while on a trip with the Eisenhower Institute’s Inside the Middle East program, I stood at the Israeli edge of the Golan Heights and heard a bomb explode across the border in Syria. We had spent the day within several miles of the war-ravaged nation with all remaining quiet until that moment, and while none of us wanted to admit it, we had the smallest hope that we might catch a glimpse of the conflict. However, when the sound of the detonation roared across the hills, excitement was replaced by a sense of fear and grief. I had …

Arkansas, Civil Rights, And A Mobile App: The Making Of A Historical Audio Tour, Donna Latrice Shelton Feb 2016

Arkansas, Civil Rights, And A Mobile App: The Making Of A Historical Audio Tour, Donna Latrice Shelton

Theses and Dissertations

Public knowledge of civil rights history in Arkansas oftentimes, is limited to the desegregation of Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957. Historical scholarship in this area has largely underscored this theme leaving the fuller picture of the experiences of Native Americans, Japanese Americans, African Americans and other ethnicities obscured. Little Rock’s role in the history of segregation in America is as broad as it is complex, however, many are unaware of the wide-ranging experiences of marginalized groups. This paper explores the process of partnering with the city, historians, and community organizations to address the misconception that civil rights in …

The Literal Reconstruction Of Vmi: To Obliterate Or Not To Obliterate?, Kaylyn L. Sawyer

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History

My family-driven fondness for the Virginia Military Institute is not a secret. I actually have a vintage gridiron-inspired VMI bobble head doll, an inheritance from my great grandmother who was proud to see both her sons graduate from the Institute. While thinking about the Civil War history of VMI for an academic course, I was struck by a most obvious question: Why was Virginia allowed to rebuild the Institute, described by some as a factory for the mass production of Confederates, after its destruction in 1864? I considered the challenge an opportunity for engaging research, and I offer this as …
