A little known EMU History: EMU successful football coach later became Governor thelivingstonpost.com/heres-a-story-… #TRUEMU #EMUHistory

The Mexican government failed to distribute funds to Bracero workers. Many protested. "They are waiting for us to die, so that this issue will be forgotten. So we will be forgotten." #HistorySpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

Mexican elites believed that if they sent them to the Bracero program, they would become productive and refined. Ready to reenter the Mexican community. #HistorySpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

Elite Mexicans understood where the indigenous population belonged and they saw them as socially and racially inferior. They saw them as a threat to modernity. There was no place for a modern indigenous community. #HistorySpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

Loza created an Oral History and Bracero History Archive where you can see interviews, objects, contracts, IDs, and photographs from the Bracero Program 1942-1964. #HistorySpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

Thousands of people would come and line up at the contracting centers to get these jobs. Groups of workers would sit and stand with their neighbors and families. They would often hold up signs of the places where they were from. #HistorySpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

"Braceros worked in agriculture and on railroads when the US needed more laborers due to the labor shortage after WWII." #HistorySpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

In Civil War, you don't have that clarity of one government talking to another. One reason why Americans like the surrender at Appomattox is because it was very tidy and clean. There was closure. #EMUHistory #HistorySpeakerSeries

There was no path to victory by 1864 and the Confederates realized that. They kept fighting because they didn't know what else to do. This wasn't will, it was fatalism. They had to determine how that would happen. #EMUHistory #HistorySpeakerSeries

Steven Ramold is talking to us about the "Lost Cause Mythology" and the Civil War. #EMUHistory #HistorySpeakerSeries

Please join us in November for our next History Speaker Series event. Steven Ramold, Professor of History at EMU will be talking about "How the Surrender of the Confederacy Defied the Mythology of the Lost Cause." 4:00 PM November 5, 2020 via zoom. #EMUSpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

Thank you Nancy Jacobs @BrownUniversity, for your fascinating presentation about Washington Okumu. #EMUSpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

As a result, the 1994 election did happen and the violence did cease. Okumu helped bring about this peace in South Africa. Nancy Jacobs #EMUSpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

Mandela's election was not inevitable. It wasn't clear that the country would have peace. Focusing on Okumu allows us to take a step back and see his influence. His ambition and willingness to compromise may have made all the difference in 1994. #EMUSpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

The election is set for April 1994. With the IFP refusing to participate in the election, violence ensues. The international community steps in to mediate. The ANC and the IFP agree to mediate. Okumu joins the Kissinger-Carrington Mediation Team. #EMUSpeakerSeries #EMUHistory

In June of 1993, 26 parties came to negotiate a new constitution in South Africa. This was called the Multiparty Negotiating Forum, mostly dominated by the ANC and IFP. Nancy Jacobs #EMUSpeakerSeries #EMUHistory
