SUMMARY:Black Woman on Board: Claudia Hampton\, the California State University\, and the Fight to Save Affirmative Action
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nBlack Woman on Board: Claudia Hampton\, the California State University\, and the Fight to Save Affirmative Action examines the leadership strategies that Black women educators have employed as influential power brokers in predominantly white colleges and universities in the United States. Author Donna J. Nicol tells the extraordinary story of Dr. Claudia H. Hampton\, the California State University (CSU) system’s first Black woman trustee\, who later became the board’s first woman chair\, and her twenty-year fight (1974–94) to increase access within the CSU for historically marginalized and underrepresented groups. Amid a growing white backlash against changes brought on by the 1960s Civil Rights and Black Power Movements\, Nicol argues that Hampton enacted “sly civility” to persuade fellow trustees\, CSU system officials\, and state lawmakers to enforce federal and state affirmative action mandates. \nBlack Woman on Board explores how Hampton methodically “played the game of boardsmanship\,” using the soft power she cultivated amongst her peers to remove barriers that might have impeded the implementation and expansion of affirmative action policies and programs. In illuminating the ways that Hampton transformed the CSU as the “affirmative action trustee\,” this remarkable book makes an important contribution to the history of higher education and to the historiography of Black women’s educational leadership in the post-Civil Rights era. \nA virtual presentation by Dr. Donna J. Nicol\, associate dean\, College of Liberal Arts\, California State University\, Long Beach\, CA \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:American Burial Ground: A New History of the Overland Trail
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nIn popular mythology\, the Overland Trail is typically a triumphant tale\, with plucky easterners crossing the Plains in caravans of covered wagons. But not everyone reached Oregon and California. Some 6\,600 migrants perished along the way and were buried where they fell\, often on Indigenous land. As historian Sarah Keyes illuminates\, their graves ultimately became the seeds of U.S. expansion. \nBy the 1850s\, cholera epidemics\, ordinary diseases\, and violence had remade the Trail into an American burial ground that imbued migrant deaths with symbolic power. In subsequent decades\, U.S. officials and citizens leveraged Trail graves to claim Native ground. Meanwhile\, Indigenous peoples pointed to their own sacred burial grounds to dispute these same claims and maintain their land. These efforts built on anti-removal campaigns of the 1820s and 30s\, which had established the link between death and territorial claims on which the significance of the Overland Trail came to rest. \nIn placing death at the center of the history of the Overland Trail\, American Burial Ground offers a sweeping and long overdue reinterpretation of this historic touchstone. In this telling\, westward migration was a harrowing journey weighed down by the demands of caring for the sick and dying. From a tale of triumph comes one of struggle\, defined as much by Indigenous peoples’ actions as it was by white expansion. And\, finally\, from a migration to the Pacific emerges instead a trail of graves. Graves that ultimately undergirded Native dispossession. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Sarah Keyes\, author\, historian\, and assistant professor of history\, University of Nevada\, Reno. \nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom
