  • Committee Tax” How the Parties Pressured Legislative Leaders to Raise Huge Sums of Campaign Cash During the 116Th Congress — and Are Poised to Do So Again This Year
    New Congress, Same “Committee Tax” How the parties pressured legislative leaders to raise huge sums of campaign cash during the 116th Congress — and are poised to do so again this year By Amisa Ratliff One of the open secrets of Washington is that both the Democratic and Republican parties strong-arm influential legislators to raise astronomical amounts of campaign cash. Referred to as paying “party dues,” lawmakers are pressured to transfer huge sums from their campaigns and affiliated PACs to the parties as well as spend countless hours “dialing for dollars” to raise six- and seven-figure amounts for the parties, often by soliciting corporations, labor unions, and other special interests that have business before Congress. These fundraising demands have morphed into a “committee tax” levied Approximately $1 of by the political parties onto legislators. The more influential the role in every $5 spent during Congress, the more money party leaders expect legislators to raise, with the last election cycle by committee chairs being expected to raise more funds than other members several top Democratic of their caucus. This is especially true for the chairs of the most powerful and Republican committees in the U.S. House of Representatives — the Appropriations, lawmakers were simply Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, and Ways and Means Committees, transfers to the DCCC which are sometimes referred to as “A” committees for their prestige and and NRCC. influence. In fact, according to a new analysis of campaign finance filings by Issue One, approximately $1 of every $5 spent during the 2019-2020 election cycle by several of the top Democratic and Republican lawmakers on these exclusive “A” committees were simply transfers to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

  • A History of Mixed-Race Women in the United States During the Early Twentieth Century
    Of Double-Blooded Birth: A History of Mixed-Race Women in the United States during the Early Twentieth Century Jemma Grace Carter Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies at the University of East Anglia, School of Arts, Media, and American Studies January 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Often homogenised into broader narratives of African-American history, the historical experience of mixed-race women of black-white descent forms the central research focus of this thesis. Examining the lives of such women offers a valuable insight into how notions of race, class, gender and physical aesthetics were understood, articulated and negotiated throughout the United States during the early-twentieth century. Through an analysis of wide-ranging primary source material, from letters, diaries and autobiographies to advertisements, artwork and unpublished poetry, this thesis provides an interdisciplinary contribution to the field of Critical Mixed Race Studies, and African- American history. It builds on existing interpretations of the Harlem Renaissance by considering the significance of mixed-racial heritage on the formation of literature produced by key individuals over the period. Moreover, this research reveals that many of the visual and literary sources typically studied in isolation in fact informed one another, and had a profound impact on how factors such as beauty, citizenship, and respectability intersected, and specifically influenced the lives of mixed-race women.

  • Kara Harpham HIST 105.01 12/18/2015 Engineering Amherst: Eugenics at Sweet Briar College Eugenics Was a Social Philosophy That E
    Kara Harpham HIST 105.01 12/18/2015 Engineering Amherst: Eugenics at Sweet Briar College Eugenics was a social philosophy that encouraged selective breeding among human populations in an attempt to create a better, more homogenous society in which to live. Eugenics encouraged reproduction in the desired population, and strove to or prohibit reproduction in the undesired population, such as those with physical or mental defects, criminals and deviants, and minorities, through laws and forced sterilization. The modern eugenics movement began in late 19th century in Britain and quickly spread to the United States. In many colleges and universities it was taught in the Biological and Social Sciences. Sweet Briar College incorporated eugenics into its academic program in 1918. In the following year, students were conducting eugenics fieldwork in Amherst County.1 The research done by these students impacted not only the residents of the local community, but the national trend in eugenics as well. The effects of the Progressive Era saw Southern women’s colleges add the study of Sociology to their curriculum.2 Sweet Briar College was no exception. Clark University alum, Dr. Ivan E. McDougle was hired by Sweet Briar to teach Sociology in 1919.3 With the addition of McDougle to the faculty, General Sociology was offered in the course catalog for the first time.4 By 1925, the Sociology Department listed more than five courses. Among these was “Population and Social Biology” which studied “the influences of heredity and environment; the production of great men and of defectives” and “eugenics.” Also offered was a course entitled 1 Segregation’s Science: Eugenics and Society in Virginia, Gregory Michael Dorr.
