SUMMARY:Virutal Field Trip - "Our Girls Over There" : The Hello Girls in World War I
DESCRIPTION:On March 2\, 1918\, a U.S. Army Signal Corps unit boarded the Celtic\, a transport ship\, destined for England and eventually the battlefields of France. The unit\, comprised of female telephone operators\, would make history as first women to actively support combat operations on a regular basis. In doing so\, they paved the way for expanded roles for women both in the U.S. Army and at home. \nTelephone communications were vital to the success of U.S. Army operations during World War I. The first troops shipped overseas were members of the U.S. Army Signal Corps to establish telephone lines at the front. These lines required hundreds of operators to connect calls between the front and higher headquarters. The Army turned to French speaking\, female\, telephone operators to connect calls. Over 200 women served the American Expeditionary Forces in the First\, Second\, and Third Army Headquarters. The women\, nicknamed the “Hello Girls\,” worked tirelessly\, under at times combat conditions\, to connect calls on behalf of the Army. \nExplore the commitment\, sacrifice and challenges of the Hello Girls during World War I. Learn more about how these female telephone operators were recruited for specific skills and how their contributions were critical to effective U.S. Army wartime communications. Also examine how they fought to achieve appropriate recognition and military benefits after the war. This Virtual Field Trip is supported by the U.S. Army Women’s Museum.

SUMMARY:“A Question of Respect”\, a book talk with Celinda Lake and Ed Goeas
DESCRIPTION:Join the conversation with pollsters and long time friends Ed Goeas (Republican)\, and Celinda Lake (Democrat)\, as they discuss how we can all work together in an increasingly polarized political world and make the case that the only way for America to escape its current divide is through mutual respect. America’s problems will never be resolved unless we can bridge our differences. \nBut with today’s all encompassing ‘us versus them’ mentality\, that might seem almost impossible. How did we get to this point of intense dysfunction and combativeness in both in person and online interactions? And most importantly\, how do we fix it? In their book\, “A Question of Respect”\, Ed and Celinda explore the possible roads that led us to this moment\, and how respect is the first step we need to take in order to trust one another. \nThis program is pre-recorded. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.

Dionne\, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute\, advocate for making a commitment to a ‘100% Democracy’\, an election process where every citizen has the right to vote and full opportunities to do so—but also the duty to vote\, a requirement to participate in our national choices. \nJoin Rapoport and Dionne (who will be joining us virtually) for an in-person discussion about their new book\, 100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting. The program will be moderated by CT Secretary of the State\, Denise Merrill and kicks off Book Talks\, a new program series at Connecticut’s Old State House. \nThe U.S. lags behind other democracies\, with only 66.8% of eligible voters participating in the record-turnout election of 2020 while twenty-six countries around the world require participation in elections. Australia\, for instance\, has required citizens to cast a ballot since 1924 and had over 90% voter turnout in their last major election. Rapoport and Dionne ask: if Americans must pay taxes and serve on juries\, why not ask—or require—every American to vote? Is it time for the United States to take a major leap forward and recognize voting as both a fundamental civil right and a solemn civic duty? \nThis program is pre-recorded. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.

SUMMARY:The Ballot is Stronger Than the Bullet: A Short History of Voting
DESCRIPTION:Winning the right to vote is a struggle that has been constant in American history. It is here that the power of the vote has reached a position of both symbolic and real power. For better or worse\, the people of representative democracies throughout the world express their views and participate in their government through the vote. \nJoin Professor Hamish Lutris of Capitol Community College as he discusses the concept of voting\, its establishment as the most visible political weapon in the arsenal of Democracy\, and the movements that have both expanded and resisted the expansion of that right over the years\, including feminism and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. \nThis program is pre-recorded. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.

SUMMARY:"Behind the Scenes of Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom" with Ilyon Woo
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Worcester Black History Project \nApproximately 60 minutes. This hybrid program will be held in person at Antiquarian Hall and livestreamed to a virtual audience on YouTube. Advance registration is required for both. Closed captioning will be available for virtual attendees. Doors open at 6:30pm. \nMaster Slave Husband Wife tells the remarkable true story of Ellen and William Craft\, who escaped slavery through daring\, determination\, and disguise\, with Ellen passing as a wealthy\, disabled White man and William posing as “his” slave. The Crafts’ own 1860 narrative\, Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom\, provides a powerful first-hand account of this extraordinary act of mutual self-emancipation. Yet\, many mysteries remain that the Crafts would not or could not discuss. \nHighlighting her research at the American Antiquarian Society\, Woo reveals the extensive archival sleuthing behind the writing of her new book. Among the questions she explores: What were the prices of freedom? Who remained in the world that the Crafts left behind? What was it like to ride the rails on the famed Overland Mail Route\, don a gentleman’s clothes? The dress of the times\, illuminated with expert contributions from award-winning costume historian and AAS member Lynne Zacek Bassett\, provides vital clues that help render a rich depiction of the period\, during which the Crafts made their unforgettable journey out of the South and ultimately\, out of the Unites States\, in search of freedom. \nlyon Woo is the author of Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom and The Great Divorce: A Nineteenth-Century Mother’s Extraordinary Fight Against Her Husband\, the Shakers\, and Her Times. She has written for The Boston Globe and The Wall Street Journal\, and received support for her research from the Whiting Foundation and National Endowment for the Humanities\, among other organizations. She holds a BA in the Humanities from Yale College and a Ph.D. in English from Columbia University. She also held a Peterson Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society in 2004 where she conducted research for The Great Divorce.

SUMMARY:Kentucky and the Secession Crisis: A Documentary History

SUMMARY:Uncommon Ground: Grant Wood and Russell Lee’s Divergent View of Iowa
DESCRIPTION:Join art historian James Swensen to explore Iowa through the divergent views of two artists. When Russell Lee traveled to Iowa in December 1936\, he might have expected to find something out of a Grant Wood painting. Instead\, the photographer in the employ of Roosevelt’s New Deal found a very different scene of destitute farmers facing a hardscrabble existence. The presentation will examine how Lee’s work in Iowa was influenced by Wood and how Lee’s portrait of the state challenged the pastoral and idealized vision for which Wood had become famous.

SUMMARY:This Is Our War: 100(+) Years of Women's Civil Rights Activism in Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Shannon Frystak in-person at the March Gallier Gathering as she discusses the history of women’s Civil Rights activism in Louisiana.\nThis event is co-hosted by the Loyola University New Orleans Department of History and will take place on the Loyola campus in Multimedia Room 2\, Monroe Library. Parking is located in the West Road Garage. \nAbout this Event\nFor more than 100 years\, Louisiana women have challenged the racial status quo in Louisiana.

Dr. Shannon Frystak will highlight some of the major events of the “long civil rights era” and the women who were crucial actors in the long struggle to alter the social\, economic\, and political landscape of the state to ensure citizenship applied equally to all of its residents. \nDr. Shannon Frystak is an award-winning writer and historian who specializes in Women’s History and the Modern Civil Rights Movement with an emphasis on female activism in Louisiana. She teaches at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. Her works include Our Minds on Freedom: Women and the Struggle for Black Equality in Louisiana\, 1924-1967 and Louisiana Women: Their Lives and Times. Her current research is a biography of Lucille Watson\, owner and manager of Cross Keys Plantation in Tensas Parish\, Louisiana.
