SUMMARY:ERA in the Heartland: Ratification and Reconsideration in Kansas\, 1973-1980
DESCRIPTION:Experience ERA in the Heartland before the exhibit closes this month! The last day to visit this exhibit is March 9. Plan your visit to the Dole Institute’s Museum & Galleries by visiting our website.\nIn the early 1970s states raced to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment after it was passed in Congress. It seemed inevitable that the legislation\, granting equal rights to men and women\, would become the 27th amendment to the United States Constitution. Grassroots movements – for and against the amendment – mobilized swiftly in response. Highlighting the voices of ordinary Kansans\, this exhibit explores the dialogue surrounding the adoption of the ERA in our state and its legacy today. \nThis exhibit is based on University of Kansas history and journalism student Alexandra Haggar’s Honors thesis: “Rescind ERA: The Failed Efforts in Kansas to Rescind Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment\, 1973-1980.” \n  \n \nThis exhibit is presented in partnership with the KU Department of History and with special thanks to Dr. Marie Grace Brown. \nThis exhibit features materials from the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas.

SUMMARY:World Leaders in Wartime: Abraham Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:Abraham Lincoln\, often characterized as one of America’s preeminent war leaders\, was a master politician who intuitively understood the political consequences of any decision.  Yet on matters of strategy\, arguably the most important responsibility of a wartime president\, Lincoln deferred to his military commanders rather than exercise his authority as commander-in-chief.  His strategy of deference nearly proved to be a strategy for defeat. \nHarry S. Laver is a professor of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College\, Fort Leavenworth\, Kansas\, who specializes in the American Civil War and World War II Europe.  He is the author of A General Who Will Fight: The Leadership of Ulysses S. Grant (2013).  His current book projects include Grant and His Generals: A Study of Military Command\, and Ike and Tedder: A Study of Allied Command. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history. Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers. The esteemed faculty and guests of the CGSC provide unique and captivating insights into the history of military conflict from the ancient to the modern ages at the Dole Institute of Politics. \n  \n\n  \nThe opinions expressed herein are those of the individual and do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College or any other governmental agency.
