Therapeutic Revolution
Authors: Urban Kelly 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter analyzes tuberculosis policies and discourses during the first two decades of socialism in Cuba (1961–1981). In these years, tuberculosis health professionals engaged in a project to forge more hygienic citizens to support the Revolution. Their discussions over “sanitary consciousness” continued to blame certain tuberculars, such as those living in shantytowns and tenements, for contracting the disease. They also discussed certain patients’ “indiscipline” in not completing chemotherapy, which ignored durable barriers to health care. Nonetheless, physicians were also concerned with improving health care for tuberculars, and they influenced two major changes to tuberculosis policy: a social security law for tuberculars in 1969 and a new outpatient treatment program in 1970 (which eventually became known as DOTS). These revolutionized the landscape of tuberculosis on the island, and health outcomes improved dramatically, with the revolutionary state implementing a broader health citizenship than what existed before. However, as the revolutionary government used these outcomes to consolidate state legitimacy, they overstated the state’s attack on the social roots of the disease. This, coupled with not allowing citizens to critique its health programs, limited the boundaries of health citizenship and defused the radical potential of the Cuban Revolution’s tuberculosis programs.
The Battleground of Health
Authors: Urban Kelly 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This epilogue summarizes the book’s arguments and reflects on their significance for understanding the politics of tuberculosis control and the politics of Cuba in the present. First, the chapter explores what happened to the Topes de Collantes Sanatorium after 1959, with particular attention to the veracity of historical memory (or memories) of the building and the political uses of that memory-making. Next, it describes the island’s experience with COVID-19, a disease with parallels to tuberculosis, and how it informed a series of historic protests, some of them health-related, in the summer of 2021. Finally, it offers reflections on how past intersections of health, tuberculosis, and politics, especially in the 1950s, bear striking similarities to those intersections in the current moment in Cuba. Of particular importance is the agency of grassroots health activism, which continues to push for a broad and revolutionary health citizenship.
The Contexts of Faith-Based Community Organizing
Authors: Delehanty Jack 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter explains the contextual factors that make faith-based community organizing an effective paradigm for social change and an appealing way for progressive people of faith to live out their values. It documents how deepening racial and socioeconomic inequality have created the conditions in which people of faith feel called to action and how a focus on families and personal dignity can frame structural problems as religious concerns. Amid declining religious attendance and affiliation, faith-based community organizing emerges as a way for those who remain religiously committed to project their values into public life and demonstrate the power their faith holds for addressing social problems.
Challenges of Moral Citizenship
Authors: Delehanty Jack 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Faith-based community organizing has many strengths, but it is no silver bullet for solving the serious problems plaguing US society, nor for bringing about the large-scale infusion of religion into social justice movements that many religious leaders have long hoped for. This chapter explains a few key challenges that organizations face in carrying out effective social justice work. Some of these challenges are related to religious identity and religious culture, as the polarized nature of American religion makes it challenging for moderate and progressive congregations to engage politically without risking losing members. Others relate to dynamics of race and class, as some of the strategies organizers have developed for engendering moral citizenship seem to align best with middle class and, occasionally, white experiences and sensibilities.
The Persistence of 287(g)
Authors: Arriaga Felicia 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter both explains the persistence of the 287(g) program in three counties and focuses on the possible role of local movement organizations. The normalization of enforcement practices and monetary exchanges which became hidden overtime are also described. Moreover, this chapter describes the challenges of improving the lives of immigrants within localities where there is a “cozy consensus” among law enforcement and other local elected officials. Furthermore, this “sealed-off political realm” (Kalir & Wissink 2016) contributes to a racial triangulation process, which places limitations on nonprofits and grassroots activists alike who may have similar imaginaries of citizenship but who ultimately still function within the immigrant rights silo, potentially limiting additional criminal justice reforms.
Melting ICE
Authors: Arriaga Felicia 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the community efforts across North Carolina to resist the 287(g) programs, mainly by engaging in key 2018 sheriff elections. In addition, the chapter focuses on immigrant rights organizations who also participate more broadly in a movement for local law enforcement accountability. When two anti-immigrant sheriffs lose their races for reelection, they are replaced by Sheriffs who chose to end partnerships with ICE. Lastly, this chapter describes the participation within and outside of the sealed-off political realm and demonstrates the importance of local coalition building that welcomes a variety of tactics.
La migra, la policia, la misma porqueria (Ice, the Police, the Same Crap)
Authors: Arriaga Felicia 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter reflects on the justice election—a statewide initiative to focus on state and local races occurring in 2018 that included sheriffs, district attorneys, district court judges, and North Carolina Supreme Court seats—focused on down-ballot races and forcing candidates to respond to a variety of criminal justice reform issues. Local ICE collaboration also shifted slightly after 2018 and a new version of the 287(g) program comes to NC. Those changes are briefly described in this chapter.
Same Mud, Same Blood
Authors: Bailey Beth 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter traces race consciousness and racial discrimination in the US Army from the Revolutionary era forward, providing background for the racial crisis in the Vietnam Era. It analyzes the ways that the institutional army, as well as many Black leaders in the 1960s, contrasted the levels of equal opportunity and integration in the Army with the rising racial conflict and failed integration in civilian society. News coverage offered Same Mud, Same Blood . Army leaders said, “I see only one color and that’s o.d. [olive drab].” In 1969, Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor rejected claims of color-blindness, arguing that the Army must recognize the significance of race.
The Great Syllabus Swap
Authors: Wieck Lindsey Passenger , Wingo Rebecca S. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Lindsey Passenger Wieck and Rebecca S. Wingo recorded and edited a conversation they shared about their ongoing syllabus swap. Wieck and Wingo both direct public history programs, but they struggle with imposter syndrome for not having formally trained in public history. After becoming friends during graduate school, they continued to rely on each other as public history professors and directors in an innovative “syllabus swap” in which they exchanged introduction to public history syllabi. According to Wieck and Wingo, the swap happens “with the understanding that the other will improve the readings and assignments before returning it. With this swap, we essentially double the speed with which we can improve our syllabi and, by proxy, our students’ experience. We’re basically the backwoods backpackers of academia: packing out the other person’s rubbish to leave the syllabus better than we found it.”
Seven Weeks of Heaven
Authors: Dickey Jennifer 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Compressing an introduction to public history course from a traditional semester into just seven weeks, Jennifer Dickey, a professor of history and coordinator of the public history program at Kennesaw State University, writes a thoughtful and introspective essay on what her fall 2019 class accomplished. Her students partnered with an old railroad depot in the nearby town of Tate, Georgia to conduct research and propose exhibit panels. Knowing she was working with students just learning about public history (and in a seven-week course, no less), Dickey has no illusions about expecting too much, but she considers her ambitious schedule as a positive for her class. Week by week, Dickey leads readers through her thought process, decision making, and evaluation of her students. Dickey reveals what worked and what did not, and at the same time, she considers how throwing students into public history headfirst has many more pros than cons.
Keeping the Tensions Present in the Public History Classroom
Authors: Brock Julia 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Julia Brock outlines what she calls her “all-in” approach to the introduction to public history classroom, which, like similar courses in the collection, includes seminar-style reading and discussion, visits by practitioners, field trips, and a final, applied project. She also considers how public history teaching and practice are shaped by the institutions in which we teach, and what’s at stake in “extending the university beyond the university.” She reflects on three ways that she asked students to engage with power dynamics of the classroom and field in the fall of 2019: through examination of campus history, interrogation of the policies and practices that define what from the past is preserved, and through a class project framed by the changing ethics of the field. Brock concluded that the work outside of the classroom was especially important in situating students in ethical practice, even as she acknowledges the limits of an intensive “all-in” course model.
A Journey at the Center of Public History
Authors: Cauvin Thomas 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Thomas Cauvin, an associate professor of public history at the University of Luxembourg, writes about the fall 2019 semester when he taught an undergraduate “Practices of Public History” course while at Colorado State University. The first portion of the course centered on defining public history, overviewing topics, and listening to guest speakers. Then, Cauvin explains, he guided his students into two public history projects. One involved a collaboration with the campus radio station creating short podcasts about the history of the university. The second required students to design wall panels about the history of Fort Collins and approach businesses around town to ask permission to mount panels in their restrooms. Cauvin explores the challenges of teaching public history, noting the importance of hardship (both for the professor and the students) to create worthwhile public history projects that last beyond the semester.
Do Public Historians Need Grades?
Authors: Deathridge Kristen Baldwin 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Kristen Baldwin Deathridge, an associate professor of history at Appalachian State University, “ungraded” her spring 2021 introduction to digital history course. Deathridge guides readers through her semester in diary entries, written in present-tense just after each class session ended. Recording her thoughts in the moment allowed Deathridge to record thoughtful observations about class sessions, Zoom calls, student progress, and teaching public history through a screen. Due to the challenges of the pandemic and teaching online, Deathridge helped students create individual websites and digital projects, rather than group work. She assesses the positives and negatives of this approach, and she considers the relationship between public history and digital history.
Introduction
Authors: Elmore Bart 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores how our planet-changing “Amazon” has roots in the American South. It reveals how the history of five firms from the American South—Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, and Bank of America—can help us better understand the evolution of logistics systems that Jeff Bezos’ later used to create our have-it-now, fly-by-night, buy-on-credit economy.
Within Arm’s Reach of Desire
Authors: Elmore Bart 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the largest part of Coca-Cola’s massive greenhouse gas footprint in the twenty-first century: its refrigeration systems. Drawing on interviews with company officials inside the firm, it documents how Coca-Cola’s interest in rural markets slowed the firm’s transition from climate-changing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to less destructive refrigerants out of fear that these new refrigerants might burst into flames in places where there was little technical support for refrigeration maintenance. In other words, Coke’s interest in serving the countryside helped shape its huge greenhouse gas footprint. Offering solutions to this problem, this chapter suggests that the answer to Coke’s refrigeration problems might not be deciding what it puts in its refrigerators but figuring out whether it really needs many of those refrigerators in the first place.
The Trunk Line to Sunshine
Authors: Elmore Bart 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Drawing on access to Delta Air Lines corporate archives, this is the first environmental history of Delta Airlines, the largest airline in the world. The chapter explores the origins of the firm in Monroe, Louisiana, in the 1920s, and the airlines move to Atlanta in the 1940s, where it created its aviation hub atop what once was a racetrack funded by Coca-Cola’s first president, Asa Candler.
Ozark-Cajun “Bone-Mending” River Stew
Authors: Elmore Bart 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This is the first environmental history of Walmart, one of the largest corporations in the world that began in the small town of Bentonville, Arkansas. This chapter explores the ecological roots of Walmart’s commercial empire, highlighting founder Sam Walton’s unique interest in the environment of the Ozarks and the ways in which local ecological factors shaped corporate structure and business strategies deployed by the firm.
Some Things Just Don’t Fit in Williston
Authors: Elmore Bart 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter shows why the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act and other major pieces of environmental legislation do little to curb Walmart’s huge pollution footprint. US environmental laws are designed to control air pollution coming out of smokestacks and harmful waterborne pollutants coming out of factory pipes. They are not effectively designed to regulate the flow of goods in retail systems. Centering the fight led by local activists to keep Walmart out of the small town of Williston, Vermont, in the 1990s, this chapter explores how rurality, a key ingredient that helped launch Walmart in the 1960s, could also be a liability as people feared how this big box store would change the character of small towns across the country. This chapter also explores Walmart’s global supply chains and its links to Chinese and other international manufacturers that make the cheap wares Walmart sells on its shelves.
Bank of Coal
Authors: Elmore Bart 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the major environmental campaigns led by the Rainforest Action Network in the early 2000s and the following decades that have led to banks beginning to shift policies regarding the financing of fossil fuels. The chapter also shows how the Dodd-Frank Act and other financial regulatory instruments passed in the wake of the 2008 recession might be amended to include provisions that restrict and control capital flows feeding environmentally destructive and climate changing business operations.
The Scandals
Authors: Fleegler Robert L. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Michael Dukakis’s landslide re-election for governor of Massachusetts in 1986 completed his political comeback from a disastrous 1978 loss for the same office, putting him in the conversation for the presidential race. Gary Hart, however, appeared to be a heavy favorite to win the Democratic nomination, until his campaign disintegrated after the Miami Herald published a story about him spending a night with a woman who was not his wife. Hart’s fall reflected one of the key trends revealed by the election—the post-Watergate’s media’s greater focus on the private lives of politicians. In addition, Joe Biden’s first national campaign ran aground when another new dynamic surfaced in the form of video technology that documented virtually everything a politician said. The Delaware senator was caught copying language from a speech by the British Labour Party leader, Neil Kinnock. Hart’s and Biden’s fate would be met by many other politicians over the next three decades. And even before the first primary votes were cast, it had already been a memorable Democratic primary.
Dukakis’s Triumph
Authors: Fleegler Robert L. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter shows how Michael Dukakis’s staying power allowed him to win the Democratic nomination over a diverse field that included Paul Simon, Dick Gephardt, Al Gore, and Jesse Jackson. More of the major trends of modern politics became clear. Gephardt rode to victory in Iowa using a populist antitrade message that previewed a generation of politicians that would propose protectionist politics to appeal to working-class white voters. In addition, Jesse Jackson’s success created a brief moment where—for the first time-- it appeared a black candidate had an opportunity to win a major party nomination. Though Jackson fell short, his campaign represented a key middle point between the passage of the Voting Rights of 1965 and the election of Barack Obama in 2008. Eventually, Dukakis defeated Gore—who was trying to run as a more moderate Democrat—in New York to seal his victory.
The Debates Take Center Stage
Authors: Fleegler Robert L. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter shows how Bush continued to use the issues of race and patriotism to cement his lead over Dukakis. The vice president emphasized the governor’s veto of a bill mandating teachers lead their students in the Pledge of Allegiance as well as the story of William Horton, a prisoner who committed a rape while out on a prison furlough. The Dukakis campaign briefly gained momentum after their presidential candidate won the first debate and Bentsen emerged as the overwhelming victor in the vice-presidential debate. Indeed, the Texas’ senator’s declaration that Quayle was “no Jack Kennedy” would echo through history as the most memorable moment in the history of V.P. debates. Needing another big moment in the second presidential debate, Dukakis squandered his chance when he seemed unemotional when moderator Bernard Show asked if he’d support the death penalty if someone had raped and murdered his wife. Finally, “Saturday Night Live” political skits became a central part of the presidential discussion and global warming became a subject of concern for the first time.
Below the Plow Zone

Abstract
Archeologists have found evidence of Native Americans’ presence in Oconaluftee Valley during every era, from Paleo, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian to Qualla, or Cherokee. Home sites and mounds appear within the valley; some continue to be excavated and studied by collaborative teams of park, university, and Cherokee archeologists as well as groups of student interns.
Life in the Out Towns
Authors: Giddens Elizabeth 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
During the colonial era, the Out Towns of the Cherokee Nation were located in the Oconaluftee Valley. The deerskin trade transformed Cherokees’ subsistence economy. Though rarely the center of trade or power disputes between the Cherokees and British or French, Out Towns residents were impacted by economic and political competition among traders, colonial governments, and other Indigenous peoples who wanted to dominate Cherokee land and people. Distrust and failed negotiations with James Glen, the British Governor of South Carolina led to the Cherokee War, which ended with a Cherokee siege of Fort Loudoun in 1760. After its fall, Lt. Col. James Grant raided the Out Towns, causing residents to abandon the area and relocate. During the Revolutionary War, Col. William Moore raided Cherokee villages along the Tuckasegee and Oconaluftee Rivers, leaving the Out Towns ruined and depopulated. Col. John Sevier of Tennessee led an assault of Cherokee towns and villages in 1780-81 and burned Tuckasegee and two additional towns. After the Treaty of Holston of 1791 and subsequent land cessions, Cherokees lost a large proportion of their hunting grounds to US citizens. They were compelled to shift from a communal subsistence life with a long hunting season to a market economy where they lived as farmers with crops and livestock. These changes disrupted traditional Cherokee gender roles and the matrilineal clan structure.
Two Peoples Share a Home
Authors: Giddens Elizabeth 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In 1802, an expedition led by Col. Return Jonathan Meigs and surveyor Thomas Freeman established the boundary between the Cherokee Nation and the US in North Carolina. Land speculator Felix Walker claimed a large tract in Oconaluftee Valley and offered it for sale. The Mingus and Enloe families established farms in the choice bottomlands. Local legend claims that Abraham Enloe was the father of Abraham Lincoln whose mother was believed to have worked for the family; historians doubt the tale. The Cherokee Nation made cultural advances such as Sequoya’s syllabary, literacy, and a government centered in New Echota, Georgia. The treaty of 1819 transferred the land of the Smokies to the US. A provision allowed Cherokees private reserves. About 50 NC families took this option, including Chief Yonaguska. William Holland Thomas became a merchant and advisor to Yonaguska, who adopted him. Land disputes emerged; after lawsuits, North Carolina bought out the reservees, who moved into Quallatown and became known as the Lufty Cherokees. Yonaguska encouraged the Cherokees to renounce alcohol, improving white families’ opinion of them. The white families built an over-mountain toll road and a saltpeter mine; the Lufty Baptist Church became a community center.
Beginning to Map the Smokies
Authors: Giddens Elizabeth 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Geographers Thomas Lanier Clingman, Samuel Botsford Buckley, and Arnold Guyot began to map the Smokies in the 1850s. Local guide Robert Collins assisted Guyot during expeditions. Guyot doggedly explored the peaks and hauled a heavy, delicate barometer up the peaks for his measurements, which were remarkably accurate despite the difficulty of his work. Guyot renamed a number of peaks, ignoring older Cherokee names. Most notably, Guyot endorsed the name Clingman’s Dome for the highest peak, after his colleague, discarding the Cherokee name Kuwahi, which means Mulberry Place. Guyot’s 1863 report for the Coast Survey included precise descriptions of watersheds, rivers, ranges, forest types, and transportation routes, concluding with a statement about the potential role of the Smokies during the Civil War.
