  • THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY Compiled by Ira David Wood III
    THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY Compiled by Ira David Wood III The following is a copyrighted excerpt of THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY compiled by Ira David Wood III dealing with timelines and events surrounding the period of JFK’s presidency. In some instances, sources are noted - i.e. “AQOC” -an abreviation for the book, A Question Of Character. Mr. Wood is currently attempting to list all sources in anticipation of publication. January 19, 1961 Eisenhower and JFK meet at the White House for a final briefing. Eisenhower tells JFK that he must assume responsibility for the overthrow of Fidel Castro and his dangerous government, and recommends the acceleration of the proposed Cuban invasion. Says Eisenhower: “ . we cannot let the present government there go on.” AQOC Eight inches of snow falls in Washington, D.C. tonight. Traffic is snarled all over the city. After a reception, a party, and a concert at Constitution Hall, the Kennedys attend a star-studded gala at the National Guard Armory planned by Frank Sinatra. Boxes cost ten thousand dollars apiece, while individual seats go for one hundred dollars. JFK gets to bed about 4:00 A.M. AQOC January 20, 1961 JFK is sworn in as the nation’s 35th President JFK is sworn in by Chief Justice Earl Warren. JFK is the wealthiest president in American history. His private income, before taxes, is estimated at about five hundred thousand a year. On his forty-fifth birthday, his personal fortune goes up an estimated $2.5 million, in 1962, when he receives another fourth of his share in three trust funds established by his father for his children.

  • Re-Imagining United States History Through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/O Literature
    LATINASIAN NATION: RE-IMAGINING UNITED STATES HISTORY THROUGH CONTEMPORARY ASIAN AMERICAN AND LATINA/O LITERATURE Susan Bramley Thananopavarn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: María DeGuzmán Jennifer Ho Minrose Gwin Laura Halperin Ruth Salvaggio © 2015 Susan Bramley Thananopavarn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Susan Thananopavarn: LatinAsian Nation: Re-imagining United States History through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/o Literature (Under the direction of Jennifer Ho and María DeGuzmán) Asian American and Latina/o populations in the United States are often considered marginal to discourses of United States history and nationhood. From laws like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to the extensive, racially targeted immigration rhetoric of the twenty-first century, dominant discourses in the United States have legally and rhetorically defined Asian and Latina/o Americans as alien to the imagined nation. However, these groups have histories within the United States that stretch back more than four hundred years and complicate foundational narratives like the immigrant “melting pot,” the black/white binary, and American exceptionalism. This project examines how Asian American and Latina/o literary narratives can rewrite official histories and situate American history within a global context. The literary texts that I examine – including works by Carlos Bulosan, Américo Paredes, Luis Valdez, Mitsuye Yamada, Susan Choi, Achy Obejas, Karen Tei Yamashita, Cristina García, and Siu Kam Wen – create a “LatinAsian” view of the Americas that highlights and challenges suppressed aspects of United States history.

  • Political Campaign Buttons Donated by Mr
    Donation of the Month Political Campaign Buttons Donated by Mr. and Mrs. Cass Hough, Betty Fischer, Amy Cawley, and Nancy Robbins In an election year, political campaign propaganda comes in many forms. Today, much of the campaign advertising is seen on television; however, staunch supporters still wear their candidate’s face or slogan on campaign pins and buttons. What they may not realize is that political buttons have been around almost as long the Presidency! In 1789, George Washington, America’s first president, wore the first political button at his inauguration. His supporters also wore buttons; they were clothing buttons made of brass and reading, “G.W.-Long Live the President.” Political memorabilia like buttons, ribbons, even china, were made to commemorate the early presidents but campaign buttons as we know them were not used until much later. In 1860, the development of photographic daguerreotypes and tintypes allowed actual images of the presidential candidates to be placed on campaign memorabilia. Buttons featured Abraham Lincoln’s face for the 1860 and 1864 elections. Most were not actual buttons but were small tintype photographs with metal rings and holes punched into the top where a ribbon was used to wear the photo. The first campaign button like we think of today was popularized by the 1896 presidential elections. The buttons were made with a metal backing; a printed photograph or slogan was placed on the backing and a thin piece of transparent celluloid plastic was placed on top. All of these parts were put together by a machine and a metal pin was attached to the back.
