Rivers are both byways and barriers.
To understand history, first understand rivers.

 

Enduring Struggles for Freedom:  

The nation’s struggle for freedom did not end with the Civil War.

Though the war eliminated clashes over geography, efforts to break down society's barriers continue. Since the Civil War, this place has inspired national policies and ongoing efforts to secure equal freedoms for all Americans.

 



 

"Shifting Borders" brought scholars from doctoral universities, tribal colleges, community colleges, and historically black colleges and universities to the borderlands between Native American and African American studies, where they collaboratively developed novel approaches to research and teaching that will contribute significantly to our understanding of race, ethnicity, culture, and identity. This ambitious project built on a foundation of thriving programs at KU in Indigenous Nations, African and African American, and American studies and at HINU in American Indian studies.

  • The ultimate goal of this project was to bring about a paradigm change in how disciplinary approaches are employed when researching and teaching about identity and culture. The project challenged scholars to break away from existing binary concepts of "race" and find fresh ways to conceptualize identity.

Finding the bell, making the arrangements for it to be displayed at the post and preparing the bell were all a part of Jones' Eagle Scout project

De Soto City Council meeting @ http://www.desotoexplorer.com/news/2010/mar/22/de-soto-city-council/
>> Listened to a request from Casey Jones, a local youth who is looking for financial contributions form the city for an Eagle Scout project. The project would install a bell in front of the memorial at the VFW. Jones had not previously filled out a request for city funds. The mayor and the council needed the form filled out before appropriating any funds and they thought it would be a good for Jones to see how local government works. Once the form is filled out, the request will be brought to the council in a later meeting to be voted on.<<

“Scouting has always been about patriotism and garnering a respect for our great country as a young person,” VFW Commander-in-Chief Tommy Tradewell said.

“As a Scout leader, I always have felt that each Scout learns many things that will prepare him to be a more patriotic citizen. There are merit badges for citizenship, law, lifesaving and emergency preparedness, to name a few.

“Scouting allows youth to interact while learning many leadership skills to help them in later life. I have always enjoyed my memories of being an adult leader in Scouting.”
