Ram, Wayne State University n the morning of July 24, 1915, hundreds of employees of the West- Oern Electric Company and their families boarded the passenger steamship Eastland for a day trip to Michigan City, Indiana. Built in 1903, this twin screw, steel hulled steamship was considered a fast boat on her regular run. Yet throughout her service life, her design revealed a series of problems with stability. Additionally, changes such as more lifeboats in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, repositioning of engines, and alterations to her upper cabins, made these built-in issues far worse. These failings would come to a disastrous head at the dock on the Chicago River. With over 2,500 passengers aboard, the ship heeled back and forth as the chief engineer struggled to control the ship’s stability and failed. At 7:30 a.m., the Eastland heeled to port, coming to rest on the river bottom, trapping pas- sengers inside the hull and throwing many more into the river.

INTRODUCTION A half century ago, there was a crying need for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup among the children of Indiana. To day, those of the children of ’66’ who have survived the tak- ing ways of malaria, the White Caps and the automobile, are engaged in the mad rush for wealth and too busy to spend weeks and months poring over, and wading through, the long drawn-out detailed, dry facts of history as here tofore doled out to Indiana readers; hence this little volume. It is designed to take the place of Mother Winslow’s concoction as the crying need of a busy public. This work is not intended to belittle the efforts of such historians as have gone before. They did the best they could.

  • Visual Silence: African American Voices in Washington, Dc's
    VISUAL SILENCE: AFRICAN AMERICAN VOICES IN WASHINGTON, DC’S COMMEMORATIVE FORMATIONS by MEGAN IRENE FITZMAURICE (Under the Direction of Belinda A. Stillion Southard) ABSTRACT This thesis puts forward a rhetorical investigation of the visual and racial politics at play in Washington, DC’s commemorative formations. Specifically, this thesis looks to the Capitol Rotunda, National Statuary Hall, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in order to understand how three major forms of racism—institutional, symbolic, and postracial—shape and are shaped by these formations. A theory of visual silence helps to expose how and in what forms such racism works to simultaneously invoke and suppress the visual voice of African Americans in the nation’s most honored spaces. Visual silence reveals that while African Americans have played an integral role in shaping civic life and national identity in the United States, because we cannot visualize their voices in the same tangible ways in which white Americans are portrayed in the country’s commemorative spaces, their history, achievement, and significance are nearly silenced from the national narrative.
