Ten World War II Veterans departed a cheering crowd at Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital, traveling to the American Heritage Museum at the Collings Foundation in Hudson, Mass.

Now let us serve you. 3 Keeping Veterans in Good Health Telehealth technology helps New England Veteran patients stay connected Connected Care is the broad title for all the technology solutions VA is using to enable Veterans to virtually meet-up with their VA health care providers. It’s all part of the largest telemedicine initiative in the country led by the Veterans Health Administration. For VA New England, expansion of telehealth capabilities is a major strategic objective. “We provided care to over 25,000 Veterans last year using telehealth technology and our goal is to provide the right care in the right place at the right Richard Tirrell, a Maine Veteran, “The VA saved my life,” says Tirrell, time through the use of state-of- had a low level of oxygen in his who checks in with Monica at the-art technologies,” said Eisele. blood and his heart was beating least once a month. “Telehealth “We’re making VA health care at more than 100 times per keeps me honest; it makes sure more convenient and reducing minute.

Across New England, VA Video Connect has been used for scheduled appointments and to provide “just in time” care when Veterans have more urgent needs. In some cases, critical care has been available within minutes of the Veteran reaching out to the healthcare team to report their need. In addition to VA Video Connect, 5,649 Veterans, similar to Tirrell from Maine, have used another key telehealth program, the home telehealth/remote patient monitoring program where a registered nurse VA “The single greatest value in In-person patient-doctor care coordinator monitors and having a telehealth program is visits will remain valuable and analyzes a Veteran’s medical data. access,” said Eisele. “Telehealth necessary in many circumstances, This has been particularly helpful increases access when our and discussions between the for Veterans with chronic health Veterans are experiencing Veteran and their provider will conditions such as diabetes, barriers to care.

  • Co-Constructing Racial Identities at Seattle's Northwest African
    Co-Constructing Racial Identities at Seattle’s Northwest African American Museum Olivia Littles Erickson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Miriam Kahn, Chair Ralina Joseph Kris Morrissey Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Anthropology ©Copyright 2015 Olivia Littles Erickson University of Washington Abstract Co-Constructing Racial Identities at Seattle’s Northwest African American Museum Olivia Littles Erickson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Miriam Kahn Department of Anthropology In the United States museums have played a key role in shaping our understandings of ourselves as members of particular geographical, national, and racialized groups. While many museums in the United States present this information from a Euro-American perspective (a reflection of both their leadership and their presumed audiences), the growth of minority-run museums and cultural institutions challenges these hegemonic understandings of race and identity by presenting alternative narratives of identity and belonging. Taking the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) as a case study, this work will examine the role an African American museum plays in reflecting and shaping identities and local understandings about race. Within NAAM, ideas about what it means to be African American are continually co-constructed through the dynamic relationship that exists between the museum and the public. Through these interactions, various (and sometimes contesting) discourses of “blackness” are reshaped and reinterpreted within the space of the museum. However, the discursive power of the museum derives not just from its content and programs, but also from its physical location in a neighborhood experiencing rapid demographic changes, and from its visitors whose racial identities impact the extent to which they are able to make personal connections with the museum’s content.

One’s first impression may be of size and distance—broad valleys rimmed by mountain ranges, with a huge sky arching over all. However, a closer look reveals that, beneath the broad brush strokes, this is a land of astonishing variety. For example, it is comprised of several kinds of desert, year-round flowing streams, and sky island mountain ranges.

Since the summer of 1941, the communist-led guerrilla movement had conducted a massive guerrilla campaign against Axis forces, at the same time striving to build a regular army and thus gain recognition as a full-time member of the anti-Hitler coalition. The arrival of the Red Army and liberation of country’s eastern parts in September and October 1944 secured material foundations for a creation of a regular field force. Whether this nascent army would be capable of defeating its retreating, but still dangerous German foe remained to be seen. Keywords: Yugoslavia, Syrmia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Second World War, Parti- sans, Wehrmacht, front, operations, NOVJ The fierce fighting in the flat, open terrain of the province of Syrmia1 counted among the bloodiest of the whole war and left a lasting controversy about whether the Yugoslav Partisans should have pursued an active campaign on the so-called »Syrmian Front« in the first place. In the socialist Yugoslavia prior to the late 1970s, descriptions of operations on the Syrmian Front could usually be found in either general war histories or in unit histories; relevant Partisan docu- ments were published in several volumes of the massive »Zbornik dokumenata i 1 Syrmia (Serbian: Srem; Croatian: Srijem) is the geographical region between the rivers Danube and Sava, stretching from Belgrade in the east to the line north of Vukovar-Bosna estuary in the west.

It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.
