  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

Bradford Between 1893 and 1920 the rising tide of racial antagonism and discrimination that swept America fundamentally altered racial relations in the United States Navy. African Americans, an integral part of the enlisted force since the Revolutionary War, found their labor devalued and opportunities for participation and promotion curtailed as civilian leaders and white naval personnel made repeated attempts to exclude blacks from the service. Between 1920 and 1942 the few black sailors who remained in the navy found few opportunities. The development of Jim Crow in the U.S.

  • University of Arkansas at Little Rock History Department Newsletter Two
    University of Arkansas at Little Rock History Department Newsletter May 6, 2011—Editor, Edward M. Anson Two Senior Faculty Members Retire Fred Williams to Retire at the End of the Semester C. Fred Williams, Professor of History, joined the UALR History faculty in 1969. He was selected as Department Head in 1973 and became Chairperson in 1974, the latter position he held until 1980. During his term as Chair, Dr. Williams oversaw the greatest growth in the size of the department, hiring ten faculty members, most of whom either completed their academic careers at UALR or are still in the department. At UALR, Dr. Williams has worn many hats – Professor, as noted, head and chair of the History Department, Associate Dean of the then College of Liberal Arts, Associate Vice Chancellor for Educational Programs, President of the University Assembly and Senate, and even acting chair of the Department of International and Second Language Studies. He has long been one of the state’s leading advocates for Arkansas history, and is currently the Director of the University’s Center for Arkansas Studies and Editor of the Ledbetter Monograph Series on Arkansas Culture. It has been thanks to his support and encouragement that our department has been at the forefront of the study of the history of our state. Dr. Williams, along with colleagues like now retired S. Charles Bolton and current faculty Carl Moneyhon and John Kirk, have in their monographs brought much of our state’s history from the archives and personal remembrances to the community at large.

  • American Indian Profile
    American Indian Profile Fall 2012 Enrollment Information 09/26/12 The University Northeastern State University is a comprehensive regional university that prepares students to succeed as global citizens by providing exceptional undergraduate and graduate programs, along with the only Doctorate of Optometry offered in Oklahoma (one of only 19 nationwide) and the only Bachelor of Arts degree in Cherokee Education in the nation. History Northeastern was founded in 1846 as the Cherokee National Female Seminary, which opened in 1851. On March 6, 1909, the Oklahoma Legislature purchased the Seminary from the Cherokee Nation, and the following September classes began at the newly formed Northeastern State Normal School. In 2009, the NSU Centennial Celebration highlighted the university’s 100 years as a state institution and dedicated a monument to the pre- eminant Cherokee scholar, Sequoyah. Center for Tribal Studies The Center for Tribal Studies, founded in 1990, is a resource for bridging communication and interaction between tribal nations and the university. Within the context of American Indian higher education, the Center collaborates with other campus entities in program development, strategic planning, research guidance, student engagement and scholarly activities. Northeastern State University is a destination of choice for American Indian education, and the diverse campus culture nurtures a strong sense of community for Native students. Through educational leadership, cultural knowledge and professional development among students, scholars emerge - many of whom will serve in professions benefiting tribal governments and indigenous communities. Indigenous Scholar Development Center The Indigenous Scholar Development Center (ISDC) was established in the fall of 2011. Housed on the second floor of the John Vaughn Library adjacent to Special Collections, the Center offers services to enhance the academic experience of students in a supportive environment.

But as the trip planning developed, I realized that this was my opportunity to also visit the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum. I had been trying to visit this museum for the last fifteen years. I had previously traveled to Virginia and North Carolina, but could never make it to Washington, DC. The African American Civil War Memorial and Museum is located at 1925 Vermont Ave. NW in Washington, DC.

Therefore, in order to perform a simple search of the GENERAL records of Arkansas’ Native People in the National Archives Online Catalog it is best to focus on National Park Service historic place applications, Osage and Quapaw records before 1824, and records of the Five Civilized Tribes as they traveled across Arkansas. Use the following search terms: Removal (Advanced Search, using Record Group 75) and “Arkansas Indian” (include quotation marks). The much broader search, Arkansas Indian, will have to be narrowed further by date range and document type. There are several great resources available for general information and material for kids about the Native People of Arkansas, such as the Native Languages and National Museum of the American Indian websites.
