During the 1980s, French sociologist Maurice Halbwachs and French social scientist Pierre Nora devcloped the concept of "collectivc memory," an idea that swept the academic world and seemed particularly apt for Texas. Gregg Cantrell and Elizabeth Hayes Turner brought together eleven eminent and entertaining authors to produce collective memories that often challenge factual histories. The articles point out that historians are often ignored by the Texas pub­ lic who shaped their own version of their pasts. Articles focus on battles fought by the Daughters of the Republic ofTexas over who would restore the Alamo, the United Daughters of the Confederacy in their attempts to commemorate Confederate heroes, and the attempts by the Ku Klux Klan to Ameril:anize their message in the 1920s.

    Name________________________________________ Cathay Williams: First African American Woman to Serve in US Army ELA 7 CFA #5 Assessment Date_________________________________________Article for Close Reading– Slavery & Impact on U.S. History Directions: Close read the article “Cathay Williams: First African American Woman to Serve in U.S. Army.” Cathay Williams: First African American Woman to Serve in U.S. Army By Atlas Obscura In the spring of 1865, Cathay Williams, like many other freed slaves, found herself without a job. During the American Civil War, Williams had worked as a cook and washer for the Union. The Union army of the North was fighting to end slavery and keep the United States together. When the war ended, Williams disguised herself as a man in order to join the military as a soldier. She became the only woman (that historians know of) to serve with the Buffalo Soldiers. The Buffalo Soldiers were the first African-American army regiment after the Civil War. Her Father Was A "Free" Man, Mother Was A Slave Williams was born in 1844 and grew up in Independence, Missouri. Her father was a free man, but since her mother was a slave, local laws said that she was a slave as well. Throughout her childhood, she was forced to work in the house of a rich farmer named William Johnson. Williams was a teenager when the Civil War broke out in 1861. Union soldiers from the North took over her area and sent her and a group of other slaves and freed persons to Little Rock, Arkansas. There, she was told she’d cook for the Union soldiers.

Brooks and Thomas Gray played football together as kids. Gray and other fellow veterans, outraged about an unjustifiable fatal shooting, protested, eventually staging a major march against police brutality downtown. Five years later, Gray protested again, this time against the unjust treatment of Negroes on the city's segregated buses. Daughter of the Boycott is Karen Gray Houston’s story of her family’s involvement in the historic Montgomery Lawrence Hill Books bus boycott, the action that kick-started the civil rights movement.

  • Cathay Williams (1844– 1893), A.K.A
    Cathay Williams (1844– 1893), a.k.a. William Cathay The only woman to serve in the U.S. Army as a Buffalo Soldier and the only African American woman documented to serve in the US army in the 19th century. Cathay Williams was born to an enslaved mother and a free father in Independence, Missouri in 1844. During her adolescence, she worked as a house slave on the Johnson plantation on the outskirts of Jefferson City, Missouri. In 1861, Union forces occupied Jefferson City during the early stages of the Civil War. At this time, captured slaves were officially designated as contraband and were forced to serve in military support roles such as cooks, laundresses, or nurses. Before her voluntary enlistment, at just 17 years old, Williams served as an Army cook and a washerwoman. In this role she accompanied the infantry all over the country. Williams served under the service of General Philip Sheridan and witnessed the Red River Campaign and the Battle of Pea Ridge. Despite the prohibition against women serving in the military, Williams enlisted in the U.S. Regular Army under the false name of "William Cathay" on November 15, 1866. She enlisted for a three-year engagement, passing herself off as a man. Williams was assigned to the 38th U.S. Infantry Regiment after she passed the cursory medical examination. Though this exam should have outed her as a woman, the Army did not require full medical exams at this time. El Rancho de las Golondrinas 334 Los Pinos Road Santa Fe, NM. 87507 (505) 471-2261 www.golondrinas.org Shortly after her enlistment, she contracted smallpox and was hospitalized.
