  • Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.

    UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS Norman, Oklahoma 2014 DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ____________________________ Dr. Stephen H.

Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

  • Star Juan Pablo Galavis Responds to Backlash by Posting Selfie with Nikki
    ‘The Bachelor’ Star Juan Pablo Galavis Responds to Backlash By Posting Selfie with Nikki By Sanetra Richards The leading man of The Bachelor season 18 Juan Pablo Galavis can’t seem to catch a break! The reality TV star recently posted a photo with winner Nikki Ferrell, and the caption read, “We are FREE @nikki_ferrell…” after the reunion show. The response to this declaration about his relationship and love wasn’t kind, but Galavis isn’t going to let it bother him. According to UsMagazine.com, the 32-year-old former soccer player later shared the quote, “Throw me to the wolves, and I’ll come back leading the pack.” The Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis received some mean comments on his Instagram post. How do you keep outside influences from affecting your relationship and love life? Related: The New ‘Bachelor’ Is Juan Pablo Galavis! Cupid’s Advice: Outsiders aren’t always your best friends. They will nitpick and find every single way to taint the connection between you and your partner. Consider this relationship advice from Cupid: 1. Maintain a sense of mystery: Nowadays, many couples share their most intimate moments to complete strangers without even realizing it. From happy times to the occasional arguments, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram make it easy to reveal all. Instead, keep your feelings to yourself and let others think what they want about your relationship and love. Related: Former ‘Bachelor’ Star Kacie B. Is Engaged 2. Focus on the positives: You may feel the urge to air your dirty laundry to family and friends, but be careful.

  • Reality TV Personality Chris Harrison Partners with Seagram's Escapes: New Flavor Seagram's Escapes Tropical Rosé to Hit Sh
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Cheryl McLean 323-512-3822 [email protected] Reality TV Personality Chris Harrison Partners with Seagram’s Escapes: New Flavor Seagram’s Escapes Tropical Rosé to Hit Shelves this February Rochester, NY – One of reality TV’s most beloved stars is teaming up with one of America’s ​ favorite alcoholic beverage brands, and they’re a perfect match. Reality TV host and social media giant, Chris Harrison, is expanding into the alcoholic beverage space with a brand-new Seagram’s Escapes flavor: Tropical Rosé. The rosé style drink has just 100 calories, similar to seltzers, but is packed with much more taste and made with natural passion fruit and dragon fruit flavors. Tropical Rosé clocks in at 3.2 percent alcohol-by-volume and will be available nationally in four packs of 12-ounce cans starting in February. Harrison has been fully immersed in what is his first alcohol partnership, working closely with the Seagram’s Escapes team to craft the new drink’s flavor, name and packaging. “Creating Tropical Rosé has been a really hands-on experience for me,” said Harrison. “From the very beginning, I traveled with the Seagram’s Escapes team to their flavor house in Chicago to pick just the right color and the perfect fruit flavors. After we were happy with the drink, I had the opportunity to choose the name and weigh in on everything from packaging to advertising. I’m proud of Tropical Rosé and can’t wait for everyone to finally taste it.” “We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Chris and to share this drink with both our fans and his,” said Lisa Texido, Seagram’s Escapes brand manager.
