Dr. Pilar Mendoza Dr. Sarah Diem Dr. Jeni Hart Dr. Heather Carver Dr. Cynthia Frisby THREE TEARS FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE DEDICATION I dedicate my dissertation to one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, and to Samuel Alfred Beadle, Esq. THREE TEARS FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I understand now why acknowledgements are so important in a dissertation. No one could do this alone. Thank you does not seem adequate to the family, friends, and colleagues who have supported and encouraged me on this journey to a PhD. I am forever indebted and so very grateful to each of you. My dissertation committee has continually inspired me with their input and support. I am grateful to you all. Dr. Pilar Mendoza, thank you for being my advisor and dissertation committee chair. You have pushed me to be a better scholar from the beginning. You were so patient with me throughout my journey and you always seemed to know when I needed encouragement. Dr. Sarah Diem, I was blessed to take 4 classes earning 9 hours under your teaching. You taught me theory and methodology, pushing me to excel. Dr. Jeni Hart, studying under you opened my eyes to new possibilities for the next chapter of my career. You always provided such clear insight to my questions. Dr. Cyndi Frisby, you showed me I can be a quantitative researcher, have fun in the process, and get published in a peer-reviewed journal. You reignited in me a competitive academic spirit. Dr. Heather Carver, you believed this PhD journey was possible for me since serving as my dramaturg for Ruby Nelle in 1999 and continued to encourage me when we produced Being Frank in 2006 – both theatrical projects based on personal narrative. You helped me believe this degree was possible and never gave up on me. The Mizzou ELPA faculty I studied under created in me a desire to dive deeper into what I was learning. Specifically, Dr. Juanita Simmons, you blessed me by helping juxtapose the pursuit of social justice and leadership with my faith. Dr. James Sebastian, over lunch one day, you encouraged me to focus my research on my racial identity and THREE TEARS FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE iii how it affects my leadership. Dr. Ty Douglas, you challenged and inspired my PhD journey in ways I never expected. Your teaching and guidance showed me leadership from new perspectives I will use for the rest of my career. Michael Middleton, you allowed me to tell your family story as a way to encourage people to become comfortable with the uncomfortable and share in new perspectives. You and your Great Grandfather Samuel Beadle inspired this dissertation. The Supporting Cast of Characters appearing in my dissertation has profoundly impacted my life and leadership for the good. I appreciate them for their authenticity and candor. Tracey Westfield, your editing and auditing skills are extraordinary. You blessed me with your gentle, yet firm challenges to my thought process, your encouragement, and grammatical expertise. Bob Bailey, for two decades you gave me wise counsel about pursuing a terminal degree. Dr. Jerry Brouder, you gave me the opportunity to fulfill my career dream at Columbia College and you told me I was never too old to earn a PhD. Dr. Eric Cunningham and Dr. Nathan Miller, your pursuit and completion of your PhDs inspired me to not give up on my dream to earn one. Dr. Terry Smith and Dr. Dave Roebuck, you believed I could do this, wrote letters of recommendation, and told me to get busy and never give up when I was accepted into the program. Dr. Ron Kelley, you have mentored me through this journey never afraid to ask me hard questions and always knowing when I needed encouragement. THREE TEARS FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE iv My Facebook family and friends, you never let me down. When I needed a little boost, I just posted a photo or two alluding to my dissertation and you let the social media love flow. That was powerful. Mike and Robin Wilson, you take such good care of my horse, Teapot. She helped me balance the many aspects of my life during the PhD journey. Knowing she was in your good hands and I could just come to your farm to ride or drive her instantly relaxed me. An added bonus was being able to pray with you about the journey. Dale Simons and Lynne Baker, your prayers and encouragement along with our quarterly dinners kept me moving forward. Joyce Lake, you are my self-appointed godmother and fulfill that role in exceptional ways. Your ongoing love and support constantly amaze me. I am so very proud to be a “Lake Scholar.” Chad Kateman and Brady Kateman, a father could not ask for sons to be more supportive than you have been through this journey. You knew when I needed a diversion, when I needed encouragement, when I just needed to chill, and took action to make it happen. I am extremely proud of the men you are becoming. Beth Blumhorst, my dear, little sister, you encouraged me through this PhD pursuit in ways that remind me of how Mom would have encouraged me had she lived to see me go for it. Chris Blumhorst, you are an awesome brother-in-law who challenged me to think deeper after every conversation we had about my research. Dad and Lillian, your cards and emails kept me going when I was discouraged. Every time you told me you were proud of me, I was energized to keep moving forward. THREE TEARS FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE v When I began my PhD journey, I never imagined God would lift up a PhD Prayer Group made up of classmates, yet He did. Kim Starks Berglund, Jude Kyoore, Jason McKinney, Rhodesia McMillian, Laura Page, Dena Bonds-Pinto, and Ransford Pinto, your faith in and commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ inspire me beyond measure. Our prayer gatherings and text messages continue to bless and encourage me. The Lord God Almighty, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit sustain me moment by moment every single day. I pray this dissertation, the next chapter of my career, and my life going forward will bring glory to the Holy Trinity.

  • Trauma of Slavery: a Critical Study of the Roots by Alex Haley
    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal DOI: 10.7176/JLLL Vol.57, 2019 Trauma of Slavery: A Critical Study of the Roots by Alex Haley Faiza Javed Dar M.Phil. (English Literature), Department of English Government College Woman University, Faisalabad. Pakistan Abstract Roots by Alex Haley is a critical analysis of the traumas of slavery experienced by the Africans. As an Afro- American writer, he gives voice to the issues like racism, subjugation, identity crises of the Blacks, but most of all the institution of slavery. Slavery has been an important phenomenon throughout history. Africa has been intimately connected with this history through Americans. Slavery in America began when the African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, to aid in the production of such lucrative crops like tobacco and cotton. After the research of twelve years, Haley describes the experiences of Kunta Kinte before and after his enslavement, who is the great-great-grandfather of the writer. Roots is not just a saga of one Afro-American family, it is the symbolic saga of a people. The dehumanization process of slavery assaults the mind, body, and soul of African slaves. The purpose of this paper is to highlight and investigate the slow momentum of social reform for Blacks in the U.S.A. This will be qualitative research and critical race analysis will be applied as a tool to analyze the text under discussion. By using the theory of Derrick Bell the researcher will try to explore racism and black identity in this work.

The Dred Scott Case: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Race and Law.. Ohio University Press, $54.95 ISBN 978-0-8214-1912-0 Examining Dred Scott’s Impact and Legacy Few Supreme Court cases have attained the level of notoriety as the Dred Scott case. Even fewer have attracted such a widespread and persistent attention from scholars across academic disciplines. The Dred Scott Case: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Race and Law presents the latest product of such an attention. The volume is a collection of essays originally presented at a Washington University symposium to commemorate the case’s 150th anniversary. Divided into four categories, the 14 essays explore the history of the case and its historical and contemporary implications. As far as the historical details or constitutional interpretations of the case are concerned, little new ground has been broken, but these essays have collectively expanded the context of the case and greatly enriched our understanding of its impact, then and now.

  • Roots- Teacher
    RESEARCHING STUDENT RESEARCH GUIDE Roots is a historically accurate dramatization of the lives of enslaved people in the United States. It explores many themes related to American culture and society, freedom, and African heritage. Four of these big ideas, each aligned with one of the four Roots episodes, are listed in this activity guide. Use the episode summaries and resources to research one of these topics and compare different sources of information. As you gather facts, you’ll begin to develop your own perspectives about the subject. Build an argument about how you think the topic should be viewed and support it with evidence from your research. After your research, you’ll share your findings in a timeline, a paper, or a presentation. FACT-FINDING TOOLS Use the tools below to organize the information you uncover as well as your thoughts about the topic as you research. Tool 1—Glossary As you explore resources, build a glossary of terms whose definitions you are unclear about. To create your glossary, write down the term, then write your own definition using context clues before looking up the dictionary definition and incorporating it in your own sentence to confirm that you understand the word’s correct usage. Tool 2—Timeline On a separate sheet of paper, create a timeline of important facts related to your topic. This will help you create a historic record and make connections with current events. For each fact included on your timeline, identify the source and include a brief note about how the author presents the information. For example, consider each document’s titles, labels, tone, and headings.
