Don’t let this autumn month wane without taking advantage of what should be a bountiful harvest for us as family historians. So what invitations, you might ask. Quite simply, I believe we are invited to capitalize on all of the Family History Month activities of these last thirty-one days, and put what we learned into practice. That will make the forthcoming holidays richer experiences of sharing our families’ stories and heritage. Further, all the genealogical research, the DNA results we may have received or become aware of through other’s connections, and the stories we have gathered this past year invite us to organize, preserve and share. There are celebrations galore in November.

  • Trends in Industry in Allen County
    Barrett Legal Brief barrettlaw.com Trends in Industry in Allen County Article prepared for the Quest Club of Fort Wayne and presented in February 2021. Author: David R. Steiner, Esq. Introduction It was the Fall of 1982, and I was entering my Freshmen year in college. I had grown up in Fort Wayne, and the community was plodding through an economic malaise reflective of national conditions in which the dominance of the United States in the world economy was being challenged, most notably, in the automotive industry. I remember my high school soccer coach’s insect-looking car, about half the size of any car I had ever been a passenger in or driven, with a funny rounded “hatchback” trunk. The curiosity was a 1970-something, first generation Honda Civic. He was the father of a growing young family, and I surmised it was all he could afford. Later, I came to realize he was an early adopter of less expensive and, frankly, better quality Japanese-made automobiles. Over my lifetime of car ownership, I have owned more Hondas than any other car brand, and at my peak of car ownership (with three driving-age sons) had four black Hondas in the driveway at one time. In 1982, my best friend from high school was joining me at the same college, and we looked forward to college life with excitement. But for him, particularly, there was concern about the cost of attending college. His father was a supervisor at the InternationalBarrett Harvester assembly plant Legal in Fort Wayne. At its peak,Briefs the plant employed 10,600 workers.

  • The 1901 Fort Wayne, Indiana City Election
    THE 1901 FORT WAYNE, INDIANA CITY ELECTION: A POLITICAL DIALOGUE OF ETHNIC TENSION Nancy Eileen Brown Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University May 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Marianne S. Wokeck Ph.D., Chair ____________________________ Elizabeth Brand Monroe Ph.D., J.D. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________ Michael David Snodgrass Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis represents the culmination of my journey back to school that began with a summer class as a non-degree student. Dr. Kevin Cramer’s captivating lectures and Dr. Danielle Kostroun’s engaging class discussions persuaded me to extend my path. Once committed to the journey, several people guided me along the way. Conversations with Dr. Elizabeth Brand Monroe filled with encouragement and witticism lightened the stress of “school.” With her support, I walked the scenic path to learn more about teaching and the profession of history. Her diligent attention to my “well-travelled” thesis improved the final version. Thesis committee member Dr. Michael Snodgrass’ comments and questions helped me recognize where my thesis had gone astray. My weekly meetings with thesis chair Dr. Marianne Wokeck broadened the road. Our discussions on educational theory, historical methodology and technology as well as my thesis kept the experience from becoming a tunnel of solitary research and writing. Dr. Wokeck’s intellectual curiosity demonstrates the type of excitement about learning that drew me back to school and I hope to pass along to my future students someday.

    Pushing the Color Line Race and Employment in Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1933-1963 PEGGY SEIGEL or black Americans seeking a place in the urban Midwest economy, Fthe thirty years leading up to the August 1963 March on Washington were decades of hard-won gains amidst systemic discrimi- nation. Black citizens suffered disproportional poverty and unemploy- ment during the worst years of the Depression. In the defense factories that sprang up to meet World War II demands, they found new oppor- tunities and hope. For the first time, several major industries hired blacks for skilled jobs at good wages, and federal regulations established anti-discrimination policies. African Americans were to learn, however, that regulations did not eliminate the color bar that confined them to the lowest paying and least secure jobs. Despite some wartime gains, black citizens in the postwar years once again found themselves in seg- regated workplaces, disproportionately trapped on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder. Black workers in Fort Wayne shared these common experiences, but they also faced additional barriers influenced by their city’s particular _________________________ Peggy Seigel’s most recent article “Winning the Vote in Fort Wayne, Indiana: The Long Cautious Journey in a German-American City” appeared in the September 2006 IMH.
