Seminar: Renaming Southern US Army Bases, Part I: Naming US Army Camps in WWI   

In this first of three consecutive one-time lectures, Dr. Dahlstrand takes us to the aftermath of U.S. victories in Cuba and the Philippines, where the military returned with new strategies for global security. Black soldiers, believing their service demonstrated equality, faced a different reality as the nation’s progress clashed with efforts to preserve the Lost Cause. With aging Confederate veterans passing on, their children took up the mantle to protect white southern ideals through policy and practice. This program explores how military bases such as Camp Benning, Camp Gordon, Camp Bragg, and Camp Lee were situated within the broader social and cultural contexts of race, military expansion, and southern identity during this critical period in U.S. history. Dr. Dahlstrand will be lecturing via ZOOM. This program is being presented as a seminar with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
